00:00:00.080 We've been preparing you for a chaotic world,
00:00:02.440 and it seems like the world has gotten even crazier
00:00:05.360 in just the last five or six months
00:00:07.520 and even the last five or six days.
00:00:09.760 And I got news for you, folks.
00:00:11.660 Things are getting worse right now.

00:00:24.340 for more shortages and more breakdowns.
00:00:26.920 And look, I'm not saying that

00:01:37.440 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:01:38.320 welcome aboard today's edition
00:01:39.460 of Human Events Daily
00:01:40.420 powered by Turning Point USA.
00:01:41.940 Today's top stories.
00:01:43.320 First, a U.S. military analyst
00:01:45.140 says that the Pentagon
00:01:46.320 is misreading Russia's strategy in Ukraine.
00:01:49.340 We'll dig into it next.
00:01:50.620 The Canadian Deputy Prime Minister,
00:01:52.060 Chrystia Freeland,
00:01:53.280 participated in a protest
00:01:54.920 holding a pro-Nazi banner.
00:01:57.420 What's going on with that?
00:01:58.080 We'll explain.
00:01:58.960 Third, Polish civilians
00:02:00.460 are showing solidarity
00:02:01.900 with Ukrainian refugees.
00:02:03.680 We're going to talk
00:02:04.120 all about that situation.
00:02:05.300 Then finally,
00:02:06.000 we warned you about this.
00:02:07.160 The Federal Reserve
00:02:07.840 is now signaling plans
00:02:09.460 to increase interest rates.
00:02:11.720 All this more ahead,
00:02:12.500 Human Events Daily.
00:02:13.120 Well, Russia's foreign minister,
00:02:25.880 Sergei Lavrov,
00:02:27.300 gave a wide-ranging press conference
00:02:30.260 with multiple members
00:02:31.320 of Western media today
00:02:32.760 to explain,
00:02:33.880 or at least make his pitch,
00:02:35.840 for what Russia is doing in Ukraine.
00:02:38.340 We're going to play a clip of that
00:02:39.480 that I think really explains
00:02:40.940 the heart of the matter,
00:02:42.160 at least from their perspective.
00:02:43.660 If you paid your attention
00:02:46.280 probably to the fact
00:02:47.640 that Europe,
00:02:50.000 mostly in the United States,
00:02:52.560 are trying to
00:02:53.680 close down all the outlets,
00:02:57.020 media outlets
00:02:57.960 and information sources
00:02:59.380 broadcast by Russia
00:03:01.940 and from Russia
00:03:02.520 on how the special military operation
00:03:04.800 progresses and advances
00:03:07.260 and how the Ukrainian army
00:03:08.620 and the neo-Nazi battalions
00:03:10.700 behave towards
00:03:11.780 the peaceful civilians.
00:03:14.780 Please learn more facts.
00:03:17.480 Don't try to pretend
00:03:20.100 that this American action movie
00:03:22.560 is developing
00:03:23.160 according to your plan
00:03:25.620 of absolute good
00:03:26.220 and absolute evil.
00:03:27.260 So you see what they're saying there.
00:03:29.100 They're trying to make it out
00:03:30.560 that this is simply
00:03:31.800 a matter between Russia
00:03:33.580 and Ukraine.
00:03:34.220 And they clearly
00:03:35.120 do not want the West
00:03:37.240 to be involved
00:03:38.400 with any of it.
00:03:39.500 Now that being said,
00:03:40.320 you can agree or disagree, right?
00:03:42.260 Clearly,
00:03:42.920 we disagree
00:03:43.600 with anything
00:03:44.600 that leads towards
00:03:45.600 bloodshed,
00:03:46.600 invasion,
00:03:47.320 and the destruction
00:03:48.080 of cities like this.
00:03:49.740 But,
00:03:50.280 at the same time,
00:03:51.440 we're not going to sit there
00:03:52.520 and say,
00:03:53.160 oh,
00:03:53.400 all of Russia
00:03:53.960 just went crazy
00:03:55.040 and they woke up one day
00:03:56.880 and decided to do this attack.
00:03:58.380 No, no, no, no.
00:03:59.120 We are going to tell the truth
00:04:00.660 and explain
00:04:01.740 how we came
00:04:03.040 to this situation.
00:04:04.440 And we're also going
00:04:05.480 to explain
00:04:06.080 what Russia
00:04:07.100 is doing
00:04:08.060 in Ukraine.
00:04:09.140 Because you've heard
00:04:09.840 a lot of people
00:04:10.440 and there's been a lot
00:04:10.980 of happy talk
00:04:11.660 in Washington, D.C.
00:04:13.160 And you hear this
00:04:13.880 out of the Pentagon,
00:04:14.620 you see this all across Twitter,
00:04:16.300 you know,
00:04:16.480 hashtag mill Twitter
00:04:17.400 and all this stuff saying,
00:04:18.780 oh,
00:04:18.960 they're getting bogged down,
00:04:20.120 they're getting destroyed,
00:04:21.860 completely wasted,
00:04:22.920 they don't know
00:04:23.420 what they're doing,
00:04:24.000 they don't have any tactics,
00:04:25.520 this is,
00:04:26.100 you know,
00:04:26.380 a complete failure,
00:04:27.560 a total collapse.
00:04:29.240 Russia doesn't even
00:04:30.120 have any plan,
00:04:30.800 they don't have any strategy.
00:04:31.940 Well,
00:04:33.300 the question though is,
00:04:34.420 if that were true,
00:04:35.860 how is it
00:04:36.540 that they're continuing
00:04:37.440 day after day
00:04:38.880 after day
00:04:39.620 to gain territory
00:04:41.600 on the ground?
00:04:42.940 How is it
00:04:43.400 they are increasing?
00:04:44.080 We've got reports
00:04:44.740 out this day,
00:04:45.620 or this morning at least,
00:04:46.860 that they now control
00:04:47.780 almost 20%
00:04:49.340 of the land mass
00:04:50.460 of Ukraine.
00:04:51.000 I want you to understand,
00:04:52.380 but the entire territory
00:04:53.660 of Ukraine
00:04:54.180 is a massive,
00:04:55.040 massive country,
00:04:55.900 right?
00:04:56.240 This is the largest country
00:04:57.780 in Europe
00:04:58.340 outside of Russia itself.
00:05:00.180 If you were to stretch it
00:05:01.180 on a map of the United States
00:05:02.440 from east to west,
00:05:04.180 Ukraine would stretch
00:05:05.360 the entire length
00:05:06.140 all the way
00:05:06.640 from New York
00:05:07.520 to Chicago.
00:05:09.020 That's exactly
00:05:09.640 how far it is
00:05:10.200 from the east coast
00:05:10.900 all the way to Chicago
00:05:11.800 essentially
00:05:12.220 is the Polish border.
00:05:13.540 Massive,
00:05:14.040 massive territory.
00:05:15.500 How do you eat
00:05:16.320 an elephant?
00:05:17.680 One bite at a time.
00:05:19.720 And that's exactly
00:05:20.680 what Russia is doing
00:05:21.840 in this situation.
00:05:23.540 Now,
00:05:23.780 there's a new analysis
00:05:24.600 out by Bill Rogio.
00:05:26.820 Bill Rogio
00:05:27.200 is the senior fellow
00:05:28.060 at the Foundation
00:05:28.660 for Defense of Democracies
00:05:29.840 and the editor
00:05:30.720 of the Long War Journal.
00:05:32.360 He's a former signalman
00:05:33.380 and infantryman
00:05:34.100 in the U.S. Army
00:05:35.040 and New Jersey National Guard.
00:05:36.620 And what is his headline?
00:05:37.480 Putin is not crazy
00:05:39.000 and the Russian invasion
00:05:39.920 is not failing.
00:05:41.200 The West delusions
00:05:42.080 about this war
00:05:42.980 and its failure
00:05:43.560 to understand the enemy
00:05:45.040 will prevent it
00:05:46.000 from saving Ukraine,
00:05:47.340 writes military analyst
00:05:48.420 Bill Rogio.
00:05:50.000 Wishful thinking
00:05:50.720 has the upper hand
00:05:51.880 in the battle
00:05:52.300 to shape Western perceptions
00:05:53.400 of the war in Ukraine.
00:05:54.340 Sympathy for the outnumbered
00:05:55.380 and outgunned defenders
00:05:56.200 of Kiev has led
00:05:57.480 to the exaggeration
00:05:58.480 of Russian setbacks,
00:05:59.740 misunderstanding
00:06:00.220 of Russian strategy,
00:06:01.480 and even baseless claims
00:06:02.720 from amateur psychoanalysts
00:06:04.160 that Putin has lost his mind.
00:06:05.680 A more sober analysis
00:06:07.020 shows that Russia
00:06:08.240 may have sought
00:06:09.340 a knockout blow,
00:06:10.560 but always had
00:06:11.600 well-laid plans
00:06:12.580 for follow-on assaults
00:06:13.780 if its initial moves
00:06:14.920 proved insufficient.
00:06:16.080 The world has
00:06:16.840 underestimated Putin before
00:06:18.060 and those mistakes
00:06:18.740 have led in part
00:06:19.760 to this tragedy
00:06:20.880 in Ukraine.
00:06:22.200 We must be clear-eyed
00:06:23.500 now that the war
00:06:24.340 is underway.
00:06:25.260 Yet even the professionals
00:06:26.340 at the Pentagon
00:06:27.100 are letting sympathy
00:06:28.100 cloud their judgment.
00:06:29.460 Just two days
00:06:30.240 into Russia's invasion
00:06:31.120 of Ukraine,
00:06:32.040 the DOD briefers
00:06:32.980 were quick to claim
00:06:33.780 that failing to take Kiev
00:06:35.260 within 48 hours
00:06:36.620 amounted to a serious setback.
00:06:38.540 They said the offensive
00:06:39.260 was behind schedule
00:06:40.300 and had failed
00:06:40.900 because the capital
00:06:41.620 had not fallen.
00:06:42.880 But U.S. leaders
00:06:43.540 should have learned
00:06:44.260 to restrain their hopes
00:06:45.320 after their catastrophic
00:06:46.500 withdrawal from Afghanistan.
00:06:48.180 Once again,
00:06:48.780 they are falling into the trap
00:06:49.880 of failing to understand
00:06:50.880 the enemy
00:06:51.400 and his objectives.
00:06:52.920 Russia is employing
00:06:54.000 their deep battle strategy.
00:06:56.220 Remember,
00:06:56.660 the Russian army
00:06:57.580 fought on this exact
00:06:59.000 same terrain
00:06:59.740 in World War II.
00:07:00.980 Only 80 years ago,
00:07:02.460 Marshal Zhukov
00:07:03.380 defeated the German army
00:07:05.200 on these very same roads,
00:07:07.600 these very same cities.
00:07:08.780 They used a strategy
00:07:09.820 of attack,
00:07:11.220 attack,
00:07:11.760 attack,
00:07:12.900 continue attacking.
00:07:13.960 then when weak points
00:07:16.280 arise,
00:07:19.220 envelop around them
00:07:20.240 and continue attacking.
00:07:21.700 This has always been
00:07:23.080 Russian strategy.
00:07:24.420 And I guarantee you,
00:07:25.860 the Russian army
00:07:26.860 studies
00:07:27.740 Marshal Zhukov
00:07:28.980 and the battles
00:07:29.760 of World War II
00:07:30.560 and they're employing
00:07:31.560 that exact same strategy
00:07:33.300 here today.
00:07:36.880 Well,
00:07:37.580 the Prime Minister
00:07:38.360 of Canada,
00:07:39.700 the Vice Prime Minister,
00:07:41.200 Chrystia Freeland,
00:07:42.060 is caught up
00:07:43.640 in a little bit
00:07:44.340 of her own scandal.
00:07:45.920 Now,
00:07:46.060 you might remember her.
00:07:47.040 She was the hammer.
00:07:48.440 She was the one
00:07:49.220 who was going after
00:07:50.280 these truckers.
00:07:50.920 Like,
00:07:51.040 Trudeau was the light touch.
00:07:52.460 He was the velvet glove
00:07:53.900 of the whole thing.
00:07:54.740 He was,
00:07:55.380 oh,
00:07:55.700 we just care about
00:07:56.860 Canadian citizens
00:07:58.120 and we just love Canada
00:07:59.660 so much.
00:08:00.220 We want you to be safe
00:08:01.360 and I will make you safe
00:08:02.900 if I have to throw
00:08:03.900 every single one of you
00:08:05.240 in jail.
00:08:05.900 Like they did,
00:08:06.620 by the way,
00:08:07.400 with the overall organizer,
00:08:09.220 Tamara Litch,
00:08:10.020 of the Freedom Convoy.
00:08:11.360 When they brought her out,
00:08:12.560 by the way,
00:08:13.040 in shackles in court
00:08:14.860 over the charge of,
00:08:15.840 and I kid you not,
00:08:16.440 this is the charge,
00:08:17.380 mischief.
00:08:18.300 She's being held in shackles
00:08:19.920 over the charge
00:08:20.840 of criminal mischief.
00:08:23.700 Right?
00:08:23.920 Like,
00:08:24.240 is that like mischief night
00:08:25.740 when we were kids
00:08:26.480 and you'd go around,
00:08:27.520 not that I would ever do it,
00:08:29.140 but go around,
00:08:29.880 you know,
00:08:30.060 with toilet paper
00:08:30.720 and eggs and all?
00:08:31.480 No.
00:08:32.160 This is a joke.
00:08:32.660 It's a complete farce.
00:08:34.540 Well,
00:08:34.680 Chrystia Freeland,
00:08:35.600 you might remember her
00:08:36.680 for coming out
00:08:37.740 and saying
00:08:38.420 that she would take away
00:08:39.680 the bank accounts
00:08:40.720 of not only the truckers,
00:08:42.260 but anyone who supported them.
00:08:43.920 Take a listen.
00:08:44.500 And then finally,
00:08:45.640 let me say,
00:08:47.260 for anyone
00:08:49.480 who is concerned
00:08:52.440 that their accounts
00:08:54.120 may have been frozen
00:08:55.380 because of their participation
00:08:57.260 in these illegal blockades
00:08:59.420 and occupation,
00:09:00.920 the way to get your account unfrozen
00:09:03.860 is to stop being part
00:09:06.620 of the blockade
00:09:08.120 and occupation.
00:09:10.840 These measures
00:09:12.860 were put in place
00:09:14.120 to disrupt
00:09:16.160 illegal activity in Canada.
00:09:19.080 Now,
00:09:19.460 of course,
00:09:19.760 we remember
00:09:20.240 the way that they justified
00:09:21.300 all these harsh measures
00:09:22.440 was because at one point,
00:09:23.680 very early on
00:09:24.480 during all of this,
00:09:25.280 somebody walked by
00:09:26.840 a completely identified person
00:09:29.280 walked by
00:09:30.400 one of these protests
00:09:31.980 with a swastika,
00:09:33.380 with a Nazi flag,
00:09:34.560 right?
00:09:34.960 And he was immediately
00:09:35.940 kicked out
00:09:36.840 and people couldn't figure out
00:09:37.920 who he was.
00:09:38.340 He was never seen again,
00:09:39.520 right?
00:09:39.740 With this like
00:09:40.220 totally brand new flag
00:09:42.240 that looks like
00:09:42.720 it had just been purchased
00:09:43.580 and just taken out of the box.
00:09:45.480 But here's one problem.
00:09:47.720 Chrystia Freeland
00:09:48.420 is in a little bit
00:09:49.340 of an issue herself
00:09:50.200 because she just had
00:09:51.620 to delete a tweet.
00:09:52.920 What was the tweet
00:09:53.660 that she deleted?
00:09:54.240 Well, Chrystia Freeland
00:09:55.060 turns out
00:09:56.300 is of Ukrainian descent
00:09:58.260 and Chrystia Freeland
00:09:59.400 was participating
00:10:00.620 in a pro-Ukraine
00:10:01.920 demonstration
00:10:02.800 in Canada
00:10:04.040 just yesterday.
00:10:05.320 Yet at one point,
00:10:06.520 she deleted a tweet
00:10:07.560 and then reposted it
00:10:08.940 with a similar image.
00:10:10.520 But what was missing
00:10:11.240 was her holding up
00:10:12.540 a red and black banner
00:10:14.620 in the middle
00:10:15.580 of the street.
00:10:16.620 What was that
00:10:17.460 red and black banner
00:10:18.520 you ask?
00:10:19.460 Why did she delete
00:10:20.360 the tweet?
00:10:20.900 Why was it taken away?
00:10:21.860 Well, it turns out
00:10:23.060 that Chrystia Freeland
00:10:24.500 was holding up
00:10:25.540 a red and black
00:10:26.200 scarf or a banner
00:10:28.220 that appears to represent
00:10:29.420 the colors
00:10:29.940 of the Bandera movement,
00:10:31.360 a far-right Ukrainian
00:10:32.540 nationalist movement
00:10:33.380 linked to neo-Nazis.
00:10:34.840 Also visible at the rally
00:10:36.020 were many Bandera flags
00:10:37.260 representing the far-right
00:10:38.340 Ukrainian nationalist movement.
00:10:40.180 If you don't know
00:10:41.020 who Stepan Bandera is,
00:10:42.600 he's essentially
00:10:43.200 a regional Hitler.
00:10:45.000 This guy committed
00:10:45.960 actual genocide
00:10:47.000 against Jews,
00:10:48.780 Poles,
00:10:49.660 Russians,
00:10:50.020 essentially anyone
00:10:50.880 who is not Ukrainian
00:10:51.880 in that part of the world.
00:10:53.660 And yet,
00:10:53.940 Chrystia Freeland
00:10:54.440 and these groups
00:10:55.220 are coming out
00:10:56.920 and supporting her.
00:10:57.440 I'm not saying
00:10:57.840 Chrystia Freeland
00:10:58.420 herself supports
00:10:59.320 any of that,
00:11:00.060 but she went
00:11:00.900 and accidentally,
00:11:02.320 accidentally,
00:11:03.080 we're told,
00:11:03.940 held up this banner.
00:11:05.880 Maybe she knew
00:11:06.400 what it was,
00:11:06.940 maybe she knew
00:11:07.220 what she wasn't.
00:11:07.960 We don't know,
00:11:08.800 but we know
00:11:09.360 that she posted
00:11:10.400 a picture of herself
00:11:11.900 holding this thing up
00:11:12.920 and she did not
00:11:14.840 acknowledge it.
00:11:16.060 She didn't apologize.
00:11:17.620 She didn't explain
00:11:18.800 what was going on.
00:11:20.160 She didn't say,
00:11:20.680 look,
00:11:21.780 you know,
00:11:22.260 somebody handed me
00:11:23.160 that thing.
00:11:23.940 I didn't understand
00:11:24.620 what it was.
00:11:26.100 But hold on a second.
00:11:28.160 She's the one
00:11:29.080 who from her own standards
00:11:31.220 said that anyone
00:11:32.260 who supports these groups
00:11:33.320 or anyone who's involved
00:11:34.220 in this thing
00:11:34.840 is by extension
00:11:36.460 an extremist
00:11:37.240 because of the crime
00:11:37.960 and guilt of association.
00:11:40.040 And yet,
00:11:40.400 here is she
00:11:41.120 doing the exact
00:11:42.220 same thing.
00:11:44.080 Now,
00:11:44.660 a bunch of people,
00:11:45.500 by the way,
00:11:45.940 after I pointed that out
00:11:47.040 and we found that
00:11:47.580 she deleted her tweet
00:11:48.420 because,
00:11:48.800 of course,
00:11:49.020 the internet is forever.
00:11:50.480 We've still got the tweet.
00:11:51.440 We've still got the photo
00:11:52.320 of this.
00:11:53.180 A lot of people pointed out
00:11:54.420 that Chrystia Freeland
00:11:56.100 has a little bit
00:11:58.100 of connection
00:11:58.580 to all of this,
00:11:59.400 that her own grandfather
00:12:00.480 was the editor
00:12:01.380 of a Nazi paper
00:12:02.720 in Ukraine
00:12:03.820 during World War II.
00:12:05.000 And so you've got to understand,
00:12:06.460 the situation
00:12:06.940 is quite complicated
00:12:07.780 because Ukraine,
00:12:09.100 parts of Ukraine
00:12:09.640 in World War II
00:12:10.380 actually did support
00:12:12.140 the Nazis,
00:12:13.160 actually did join the SS
00:12:14.720 and formed Ukrainian
00:12:16.500 SS units.
00:12:17.640 And a lot of these groups
00:12:18.720 like Azov Battalion
00:12:19.860 that you see on the ground
00:12:21.220 fighting in Ukraine today
00:12:22.480 are the remnants
00:12:23.680 of those same groups
00:12:24.920 because they hated Russia
00:12:25.980 so much,
00:12:26.540 because they hated Poland
00:12:27.480 so much,
00:12:28.340 that they ended up thinking
00:12:29.460 that it would be better
00:12:30.180 for them,
00:12:30.860 better for Ukrainian
00:12:31.560 ultra-nationalists
00:12:32.840 to join up
00:12:33.920 with the Nazis.
00:12:35.200 And this is just facts,
00:12:36.100 right?
00:12:36.220 This is just history.
00:12:37.460 This is just something
00:12:38.400 that,
00:12:39.160 you know,
00:12:39.660 we don't say
00:12:40.800 that we're
00:12:41.460 in support of it,
00:12:42.500 obviously,
00:12:42.920 but we can't deny
00:12:44.580 the historical truth.
00:12:45.700 And certainly
00:12:45.960 that doesn't justify
00:12:46.960 invading Ukraine.
00:12:48.060 But understand,
00:12:49.040 understand that these things
00:12:50.880 are deep-seated
00:12:52.460 ethnic clashes
00:12:53.820 that did take place
00:12:55.380 and are continuing
00:12:56.340 to take place
00:12:57.280 that have driven
00:12:58.300 all of us
00:12:59.120 and driven history
00:13:00.080 to this moment,
00:13:01.600 have absolutely driven
00:13:02.680 history to this moment.
00:13:03.860 And we're talking about
00:13:04.320 stuff that happened
00:13:05.180 a hundred years ago,
00:13:06.100 but we're also talking
00:13:06.920 about stuff that's
00:13:07.820 happening right now
00:13:08.760 because you see
00:13:09.260 these same battalions in.
00:13:10.520 So for Chrystia Freeland,
00:13:11.880 of course,
00:13:12.500 we don't blame her
00:13:14.000 for the crimes
00:13:15.060 of her fathers,
00:13:16.120 right?
00:13:16.540 That's not fair.
00:13:17.220 That's not what we do
00:13:17.800 in this country.
00:13:18.940 Or at least it isn't
00:13:19.560 what we used to do.
00:13:20.720 But Chrystia Freeland
00:13:21.660 seems to love
00:13:23.100 collective punishment
00:13:24.240 when it comes to truckers,
00:13:25.740 when it comes to
00:13:26.360 working class people.
00:13:27.460 And so my question is,
00:13:28.480 Chrystia Freeland,
00:13:29.580 when are you going
00:13:30.520 to freeze
00:13:31.080 your own bank accounts?
00:13:32.640 When are you going
00:13:32.980 to kick yourself
00:13:33.580 off social media?
00:13:34.600 And when are you going
00:13:35.240 to throw yourself
00:13:36.260 in jail?
00:13:40.000 All right, folks,
00:13:40.780 if you want to support
00:13:41.360 the podcast,
00:13:41.820 if you want to continue
00:13:42.620 to support the work
00:13:43.320 we do here,
00:13:43.840 how do you do it?
00:13:44.380 You go to
00:13:44.740 MyPillow.com
00:13:45.720 slash POSO.
00:13:46.700 You use promo code POSO.
00:13:48.700 And you know that picture
00:13:49.640 that's been going around,
00:13:50.960 this is the picture
00:13:51.520 that's going around
00:13:52.120 the world now,
00:13:53.060 of Kamala Harris
00:13:53.980 closing her eyes
00:13:54.900 and leaning back.
00:13:56.780 They just,
00:13:57.600 the folks at MyPillow,
00:13:58.680 just they got a version
00:13:59.960 of it where they put in
00:14:01.100 Mike Lindell
00:14:01.700 handing her a pillow.
00:14:03.160 And so you can sleep
00:14:04.240 like a vice president
00:14:05.560 through a Biden
00:14:07.040 State of the Union address
00:14:08.380 if you go to
00:14:10.040 MyPillow.com
00:14:10.960 and you use promo code POSO,
00:14:12.400 you get the big,
00:14:13.560 big savings.
00:14:14.580 And if President Biden
00:14:16.120 and Vice President Harris
00:14:17.000 know what's good for them,
00:14:18.100 they will use promo code POSO
00:14:19.600 as well because Biden,
00:14:20.900 now I know he's been
00:14:22.360 getting a lot of sleep lately,
00:14:23.940 but he would be getting
00:14:24.720 a better quality of sleep
00:14:26.040 if he was doing so
00:14:27.260 on a MyPillow
00:14:28.920 with the complete,
00:14:30.300 upgraded,
00:14:31.120 and sophisticated
00:14:31.600 sleep package.
00:14:32.860 You got the mattress topper,
00:14:34.360 you got the sheets,
00:14:35.180 you got the towels,
00:14:35.860 the towels that actually work,
00:14:37.420 by the way.
00:14:37.780 So I know there's been
00:14:38.580 a lot of howering images lately,
00:14:40.520 a lot of brutal scenes
00:14:41.600 if you've been following
00:14:42.200 social media
00:14:42.840 or telegram channels
00:14:43.780 like I have,
00:14:44.340 and I watch all of them.
00:14:45.580 I watch every single thing
00:14:46.420 that's come out of here.
00:14:47.140 You're not going to send me
00:14:47.820 a video at this point
00:14:48.660 that I have yet to see.
00:14:50.260 But I do want to also
00:14:51.280 show you something positive.
00:14:53.220 I want to show you
00:14:54.160 what's going on right now
00:14:55.820 in Poland
00:14:57.220 on the other side
00:14:58.540 of the Polish-Ukrainian border
00:15:00.580 as these refugees,
00:15:02.340 mostly women and children
00:15:03.280 and the elderly,
00:15:04.380 when they come in,
00:15:05.440 the way that they've been
00:15:06.260 accepted by the Polish
00:15:07.760 Polish people,
00:15:08.460 they've been greeted,
00:15:09.440 especially the children,
00:15:10.440 they're handing out food,
00:15:11.320 they're handing out toys.
00:15:12.380 Go take a look
00:15:13.000 at this incredible image
00:15:14.300 at the train station
00:15:15.480 in Poland.
00:15:37.760 And so these are some
00:15:43.740 of the most heartwarming scenes
00:15:44.900 that we're seeing
00:15:45.380 out of all of this,
00:15:46.440 that if there is
00:15:47.100 any silver lining,
00:15:48.260 it's knowing that this
00:15:49.420 is strengthening the bond
00:15:50.600 between Poland
00:15:51.460 and the Ukrainian people.
00:15:53.380 You know,
00:15:53.600 while you see this aggression
00:15:54.640 coming from the east,
00:15:56.020 when you turn west,
00:15:57.040 you see nothing but peace,
00:15:58.720 friendship,
00:15:59.540 and Christian love.
00:16:00.720 And that's exactly
00:16:01.640 what you should be seeing
00:16:02.720 in these times.
00:16:03.860 This is what Poland stands for.
00:16:05.760 Poland has always been like this.
00:16:07.040 If you need a friend
00:16:08.440 in this world,
00:16:09.560 find a pole.
00:16:11.240 There's people saying,
00:16:12.460 you know,
00:16:12.620 and Politico has the article
00:16:13.640 up today,
00:16:14.700 you know,
00:16:15.240 a mother arrived
00:16:17.300 following a two-day
00:16:18.140 train trip
00:16:19.320 across Ukraine
00:16:20.120 from the town of Odessa
00:16:21.260 with her seven-year-old daughter.
00:16:23.380 They started bombing the city.
00:16:25.140 She had to get out.
00:16:26.700 They're now saying,
00:16:27.920 according to Politico,
00:16:28.700 that more than
00:16:29.360 677,000 refugees
00:16:33.000 have left
00:16:34.380 and about half of them
00:16:36.360 coming to Poland
00:16:37.000 from Ukraine.
00:16:38.740 It has a 500-kilometer border
00:16:40.580 with Ukraine
00:16:41.440 and, of course,
00:16:41.920 a similar language
00:16:42.720 and the culture
00:16:43.200 is very similar.
00:16:43.880 Now, Poland is typically
00:16:44.580 more Catholic.
00:16:45.620 Ukraine is generally Orthodox,
00:16:47.740 so you do have
00:16:48.500 that split there.
00:16:49.520 But at the same time,
00:16:50.500 you're still Christian.
00:16:51.700 The languages
00:16:52.220 are very similar.
00:16:53.280 They're not interchangeable,
00:16:54.300 but you can sort of,
00:16:55.980 you can make your way across.
00:16:57.560 You can communicate.
00:16:58.320 You can get your point across.
00:16:59.720 And so,
00:17:00.200 we've also heard,
00:17:01.200 by the way,
00:17:01.960 and I was reading
00:17:02.500 some reports
00:17:03.400 coming out
00:17:03.820 of the Polish government today
00:17:04.940 that actual Polish citizens,
00:17:08.380 just regular Polish families,
00:17:10.460 right,
00:17:10.680 they're going through the villages.
00:17:11.880 They're going through the cities.
00:17:13.140 People are opening up
00:17:14.460 their own homes.
00:17:16.240 They say,
00:17:16.560 now,
00:17:16.660 a lot of Polish houses,
00:17:18.540 to understand how this works,
00:17:20.060 Poles typically have big houses
00:17:21.640 because Polish people
00:17:22.420 typically have big families.
00:17:23.700 And so that means,
00:17:24.680 what does that mean?
00:17:25.380 Houses with extra bedrooms,
00:17:27.080 houses with extra areas to sleep.
00:17:28.820 So they're opening them up
00:17:30.160 and they're allowing
00:17:30.900 Ukrainian refugees
00:17:31.880 from all the way
00:17:33.120 from the border
00:17:33.800 all the way up to Warsaw,
00:17:34.980 out to Krakow,
00:17:35.840 et cetera.
00:17:36.380 They're allowing people
00:17:37.440 to stay in their own homes.
00:17:39.160 They say,
00:17:39.560 come,
00:17:39.940 we're opening our door.
00:17:41.160 You stay with us.
00:17:41.940 You don't need to have
00:17:42.680 these massive refugee centers.
00:17:44.440 They're trying very hard
00:17:45.460 to not establish permanent,
00:17:46.940 you know,
00:17:47.220 refugee camps
00:17:48.000 or anything like this
00:17:48.820 with tents,
00:17:49.360 et cetera.
00:17:49.740 No,
00:17:50.360 it's actual homes
00:17:52.040 and individuals
00:17:53.240 and families
00:17:54.000 stepping up,
00:17:55.460 stepping up
00:17:56.100 the way that we are called to,
00:17:58.740 the way that the Bible
00:18:00.140 asks us to,
00:18:01.520 stepping up
00:18:02.260 to care for our friends,
00:18:04.300 to care for the people,
00:18:05.600 to actually be there
00:18:06.820 when it matters.
00:18:07.440 And this is just one
00:18:08.080 of those things.
00:18:08.960 And I hope we're going
00:18:09.620 to see more of that.
00:18:10.340 I hope you're going
00:18:10.820 to see so much more
00:18:11.920 of these types
00:18:13.260 of images
00:18:14.340 and these types
00:18:15.220 of brotherhood
00:18:15.960 coming out
00:18:16.600 in these harrowing days
00:18:18.000 and quite frankly,
00:18:19.140 it looks like months ahead.
00:18:21.480 And so Poland,
00:18:22.000 which has always been demonized
00:18:23.160 for being conservative,
00:18:24.460 for being traditional,
00:18:25.660 for trying to reform
00:18:26.520 their country,
00:18:27.220 is actually going
00:18:28.380 and doing the thing
00:18:29.260 that they should have
00:18:30.600 been doing all along,
00:18:32.040 that everyone should
00:18:32.620 be doing all along.
00:18:33.540 If you want to help
00:18:34.380 right now,
00:18:35.620 go to Poland
00:18:36.280 and help these people.
00:18:37.260 One of our newest sponsors.
00:18:41.100 We're really glad
00:18:41.640 to have these guys
00:18:42.520 endorsing the show
00:18:43.340 and supporting the show.
00:18:44.300 It is Undertak.
00:18:45.320 What are Undertak?
00:18:46.120 This is men's boxers
00:18:47.560 made in a way
00:18:48.760 that's tactical,
00:18:49.880 quick draw,
00:18:50.580 secret pockets,
00:18:51.540 extra wide waistband
00:18:52.500 for cash,
00:18:53.080 tactical necessities.
00:18:54.280 The material is amazing.
00:18:56.140 Antibacterial,
00:18:56.760 anti-pilling,
00:18:57.780 moisture wicking
00:18:58.440 so you can stay fresh,
00:18:59.660 you can stay dry.
00:19:00.420 Look, we're all thinking
00:19:01.200 about tactical situations
00:19:02.420 right now.
00:19:03.080 Undertak is the answer.
00:19:04.980 Durable,
00:19:05.700 fade resistant,
00:19:06.360 shrink resistant,
00:19:07.640 ultra lightweight
00:19:08.400 and almost 30% less
00:19:10.260 than the competition.
00:19:11.420 And one of the reasons
00:19:12.440 that they are so amazing
00:19:13.500 is that they have literally
00:19:14.500 been battle tested
00:19:15.440 by the special forces.
00:19:17.560 Undertak is the only
00:19:18.480 brand of boxers
00:19:19.820 that is unapologetically
00:19:21.420 pro-America,
00:19:22.740 pro-military
00:19:23.460 and pro-Second Amendment.

00:19:45.420 Well, the Fed hike
00:19:46.840 is now finally upon us.
00:19:48.860 Look, we told you
00:19:49.460 for weeks and weeks
00:19:50.400 this was going to happen.
00:19:51.740 A lot of people out there,
00:19:53.580 some of the more,
00:19:54.500 you know,
00:19:55.720 queued in like
00:19:56.420 Zero Hedge financial blogs
00:19:57.740 have been talking about this.
00:19:59.200 They said this is going to be
00:20:01.300 potentially a series of hikes.
00:20:03.500 And we're now seeing
00:20:04.460 the first beginning
00:20:05.900 of a series of hikes
00:20:07.460 in your interest rates
00:20:08.860 in order to combat
00:20:10.120 what?
00:20:10.840 Bidenflation.
00:20:12.180 We now know
00:20:13.240 that inflation
00:20:14.120 is at its highest peak
00:20:16.160 in 40 years,
00:20:18.280 all the way since
00:20:19.240 the 1970s,
00:20:21.240 since we've seen
00:20:21.900 inflation this high.
00:20:22.940 And the Fed,
00:20:23.920 of course,
00:20:24.600 is going to try
00:20:25.520 to respond.
00:20:26.040 Now notice,
00:20:26.580 you don't hear any responses
00:20:27.880 from the Biden administration
00:20:29.600 of tapering spending
00:20:31.580 or tightening up
00:20:33.080 quantitative easing
00:20:34.080 or saying that
00:20:35.120 they're not going to be,
00:20:35.860 you know,
00:20:36.040 which essentially means
00:20:36.680 they're not going to be
00:20:37.020 printing as much money
00:20:38.120 as they used to.
00:20:39.020 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:40.280 Are they going to go after ESGs?
00:20:41.860 Are they going to go after
00:20:42.320 BlackRock or Blackstone
00:20:43.780 or any of these massive,
00:20:44.820 you know, Vanguard?
00:20:45.700 Are they going to do anything
00:20:46.620 to prevent all of these
00:20:48.640 changes to our market
00:20:49.820 and the way that they've been
00:20:51.240 essentially financing
00:20:52.320 their friends and buddies
00:20:53.380 to go out
00:20:54.480 and they're the ones
00:20:55.480 who get this money
00:20:56.280 directly from the Fed
00:20:57.500 and then they distribute it
00:20:59.660 along their political lines
00:21:01.380 using ESG scores?
00:21:02.760 We're not going to have
00:21:03.220 any of that.
00:21:03.700 No, no, no.
00:21:04.280 The Great Reset will continue.
00:21:06.360 But at the same time,
00:21:07.960 you all are going to have
00:21:09.640 to pay higher rates.
00:21:11.800 Here's Fed Chairman Powell
00:21:12.740 talking about it.
00:21:13.560 I do think it will be appropriate
00:21:14.860 to raise our target range
00:21:16.560 for their federal funds rate
00:21:17.560 at the March meeting
00:21:18.580 in a couple of weeks.
00:21:19.780 And I'm inclined to propose
00:21:20.880 and support a 25 basis point
00:21:22.520 rate hike.
00:21:23.640 We're also going to write down
00:21:24.880 our new summary
00:21:26.000 of economic projection,
00:21:26.860 individual forecasts,
00:21:28.140 which will show
00:21:28.820 each participant's views
00:21:30.540 of the path forward
00:21:31.860 in the economy
00:21:32.960 and with rates.
00:21:34.300 I also expect
00:21:35.140 that at this meeting
00:21:35.820 we'll make good progress
00:21:37.220 toward an agreement
00:21:37.960 on a plan
00:21:38.960 to shrink the balance sheet.
00:21:40.540 We will not finalize
00:21:41.600 that plan at this meeting.
00:21:42.660 We'll do that
00:21:43.300 when we think the time is right
00:21:44.480 at a coming meeting.
00:21:45.940 The bottom line
00:21:46.940 is that we will proceed,
00:21:49.180 but we will proceed carefully
00:21:50.580 as we learn more
00:21:51.900 about the implications
00:21:52.700 of the Ukraine war
00:21:53.800 for the economy.
00:21:54.920 We use our tools
00:21:56.340 to support financial stability
00:21:57.880 and macroeconomic stability.
00:21:59.520 We're going to avoid
00:22:00.600 adding uncertainty
00:22:01.580 to what is already
00:22:02.620 an extraordinarily challenging
00:22:04.380 and uncertain moment.
00:22:06.200 And now this in
00:22:06.840 from TheHill.com.
00:22:07.740 Gasoline prices
00:22:08.580 have risen 40%.
00:22:10.120 Energy prices rose 27%.
00:22:12.600 Food prices rose 7% annually
00:22:15.200 as of January,
00:22:16.300 according to the Labor Department's
00:22:17.460 Consumer Price Index.
00:22:18.360 As the war in Ukraine continues,
00:22:21.600 the price of gas
00:22:22.580 is going to go up
00:22:23.600 and up and up.
00:22:24.860 I've seen people forecasting
00:22:26.060 potentially $200
00:22:27.480 per barrel for oil.
00:22:30.440 What does that mean?
00:22:31.220 That could potentially mean
00:22:32.200 $6 a gallon gas
00:22:34.480 average in the United States.
00:22:36.660 And there's already parts
00:22:37.360 of the United States
00:22:38.060 where you're seeing
00:22:38.820 $6 a gallon gas.
00:22:40.560 Because why?
00:22:41.520 Because we're not doing anything
00:22:43.020 to actually increase
00:22:44.620 our domestic supply of energy.
00:22:47.240 We can do it tomorrow.
00:22:48.500 Right?
00:22:48.680 President Biden could come out
00:22:49.520 tomorrow and say,
00:22:50.300 we're going to invest in nuclear.
00:22:51.660 We're going to remove
00:22:52.540 the moratorium
00:22:53.140 on offshore drilling.
00:22:54.160 We're going to go for fracking.
00:22:55.620 And we're going to go into Anwar.
00:22:57.180 Boom.
00:22:58.120 Oh, by the way,
00:22:58.900 and we're going to increase
00:23:00.240 the leases up in Alaska anyway
00:23:02.280 for these various areas
00:23:03.660 that we could go directly for.
00:23:06.300 We could easily go for this.
00:23:07.620 But no, no, no, no, no.
00:23:08.880 They don't want to acknowledge
00:23:11.000 that it's a supply and demand issue.
00:23:13.220 They want to pretend
00:23:14.100 that it's just a financial game
00:23:15.460 and that they can play
00:23:16.960 around with this money.
00:23:19.080 They can play around with dollars
00:23:20.260 and then act as if
00:23:22.000 that's the only way
00:23:22.700 out of the trap.
00:23:24.240 Why?
00:23:24.800 Because I said before,
00:23:25.900 it's because of this ESG system
00:23:28.100 and this global green mindset
00:23:30.460 that has completely taken over
00:23:32.160 not only our capital markets
00:23:33.620 and our financial wealth markets,
00:23:34.680 but the White House
00:23:36.200 and so many levers of power
00:23:38.080 throughout the United States.
00:23:39.240 they believe that the only way
00:23:41.180 to do this is to invest
00:23:43.120 in these ESG-based outcomes
00:23:45.900 and ESG-compliant companies, right?
00:23:49.220 It's completely ridiculous.
00:23:50.600 You're going to drive
00:23:51.500 our country off a cliff.
00:23:52.960 And by the way,
00:23:54.040 you are going to aid
00:23:54.960 Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
00:23:59.500 All right, and that wraps up
00:24:01.340 Human Events Daily for today.
00:24:02.740 Remember our oath,
00:24:04.360 our vow,
00:24:05.140 our solemn promise to all of you
00:24:06.780 to be good, be brief, be gone.
00:24:08.140 But before we go,
00:24:09.560 it's time for today's history break.
00:24:11.860 March 3rd, 1931,
00:24:14.960 the Star Spangled Banner,
00:24:16.940 written by Francis Scott Key
00:24:18.220 during the War of 1812,
00:24:19.580 Baltimore Harbor,
00:24:20.660 was officially adopted
00:24:21.680 as the national anthem
00:24:22.900 of the United States.
00:24:24.460 Remember,
00:24:25.180 this is the United States of America
00:24:26.780 and we are the American people.
00:24:29.740 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:24:30.460 as always,
00:24:30.820 you have my permission
00:24:31.440 to lay ashore.
