Transcript

00:00:00.340 Well, it seems like the most draconian rules, laws, and restrictions are coming down the
00:00:06.260 mandates for COVID-19 finally, but that means we have to continue fighting.
00:00:10.300 But at the same time, one thing that isn't going away is the need to actually acknowledge
00:00:15.600 our health and actually pay attention to real science.
00:00:19.360 One scientific fact is that eating a healthy diet with fruits and vegetables is essential
00:00:23.500 to supporting your immune system fighting illness.

00:01:29.760 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning
00:01:33.820 Point USA.
00:01:34.740 And yes, as you can see, we are back in our Capitol Hill studios.
00:01:38.840 Today's top stories.
00:01:39.720 First up, a ground war update.
00:01:41.460 What's happening on the ground in Ukraine as the war enters day 19.
00:01:45.500 Next, a story out of The Economist.
00:01:47.960 We need to break this down.
00:01:49.080 What is going on with this foreign fighter, the Ukrainian Foreign Legion Battalion, and
00:01:53.940 are people starting to desert the effort, the volunteers?
00:01:57.280 Third, President Biden's executive order on cryptocurrency.
00:02:00.740 A lot of people are overlooking this thing.
00:02:02.460 We're going to dig into it.
00:02:03.560 And then finally, the Florida anti-grooming bill passed by Governor Ron DeSantis.
00:02:07.900 All this more ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:02:09.180 All right.
00:02:20.780 What is going on on the ground in the war in Ukraine as we enter day 19 of this conflict,
00:02:28.400 the Russo-Ukrainian war?
00:02:31.240 And again, we are using ISW for this.
00:02:33.600 And I saw some people out there saying the Institute for Study of War, they said, Poso,
00:02:36.760 so why are you using this?
00:02:37.780 Isn't that a neocon source?
00:02:39.440 Isn't that someone who's like super, you know, biased, super anti, you know, anti-populist,
00:02:46.860 et cetera, et cetera.
00:02:47.420 Look, it is.
00:02:48.960 And that's my point, is this is the most neoconservative take that we can find.
00:02:54.820 But that also means they are pulling their punches in terms of what's going on because
00:03:00.560 I don't want anybody coming here and accusing us of saying something that wasn't true.
00:03:05.520 So this is the side that if anything, it will de-emphasize, it'll de-emphasize stuff that
00:03:11.400 would be considered a disinformation narrative.
00:03:13.600 So today's update from them assessment.
00:03:16.220 Russian forces have again conducted ground defenses on March 13th, only securing new terrain
00:03:20.780 in Donetsk and Luhansk-Prop oblasts.
00:03:22.840 Ukrainian general staff reported that Russian forces predominantly took measures to restore
00:03:26.700 combat readiness and regroup combat units as of noon, local time, March 13th.
00:03:31.820 Russian forces continue to assemble reinforcements and attempt to improve logistical support in
00:03:36.440 both the Kiev and southern operating directions.
00:03:38.720 Russian forces may intend to resume large scale attacks on both axes of advance in the coming
00:03:43.680 week, but will likely take longer to cohere the combat power necessary to complete the
00:03:47.520 encirclement of Kiev.
00:03:48.460 Russian forces, no, we haven't seen a direct offensive operation northwest of Kiev for the
00:03:53.680 third day in a row.
00:03:54.820 Russian forces did not conduct attacks in the northeast and prioritize, again, reinforcing
00:03:58.840 their lines of communication, logistics routes.
00:04:01.040 That is what you're seeing.
00:04:02.260 Now, one thing that we did really take a long look at yesterday when I was digging in, really
00:04:08.880 going through the map on this, was the siege of Mariupol.
00:04:11.760 And the idea that Mariupol, again, on the border there, right on the coast, is essentially
00:04:17.880 encircled by all three sides, by Russian forces, and then water, of course, on the Sea of Vazov.
00:04:24.500 With Russian forces, though, we were able to track a few tank units and battalions that
00:04:29.480 were going down through the middle river that just basically bisects the city of Mariupol.
00:04:34.880 Why were they doing this?
00:04:35.840 We're now still reporting early this morning that Russian forces are trying to cut Mariupol
00:04:40.620 in half to essentially create a humanitarian corridor where they say they want to get the
00:04:45.580 civilians out.
00:04:46.320 Now, of course, the Azov battalion, that is their major, again, see it was off, that is
00:04:51.680 their major headquarters in the east.
00:04:55.360 So this city is going to probably see some of the most brutal fighting.
00:04:59.680 Now, we do also have a video from, of course, our steer commander in chief.
00:05:04.600 Let's listen to him.
00:05:05.420 Although we will not fight the Third World War in Ukraine, Putin's war against Ukraine
00:05:12.540 was never going to be a victory.
00:05:13.900 Democrats are rising to meet the moment, relying, rallying the world on the side of peace and
00:05:18.880 security.
00:05:19.900 We're showing a strength and we'll never falter.
00:05:22.480 But look, the idea, the idea that we're going to send in offensive equipment and have
00:05:28.200 planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews, just understand,
00:05:35.040 don't kid yourself, no matter what you all say, that's called World War Three.
00:05:42.140 OK.
00:05:43.340 So I'm a little confused at President Biden's comment there.
00:05:46.580 So he says that this idea that we're going to send MiG-29s and fighters into the fight,
00:05:52.320 it's ridiculous.
00:05:53.000 Well, but but wait a minute.
00:05:55.540 They are saying this.
00:05:56.900 Well, who's they?
00:05:57.940 It was your secretary of state who was saying this.
00:06:00.960 And we talked about this all last week.
00:06:02.500 We called it the NATO hot potato.
00:06:04.160 Right.
00:06:04.680 And that the Poles were the ones who got out of it.
00:06:07.340 They were like, you know, not I.
00:06:08.780 Right.
00:06:09.280 They say, you want the MiGs?
00:06:10.340 We'll give the United States the MiGs.
00:06:12.560 We're not going to give offensive weapons directly to the Ukrainians.
00:06:17.180 Now, that being said, the United States is continuing to deliver javelin missiles.
00:06:21.500 The Ukraine is giving their version, the N-laws.
00:06:23.380 These are anti-tank guided missiles.
00:06:25.520 We've seen them used to great effect along this with these really, you know, light infantry
00:06:31.000 tactics that we're seeing from the Ukrainians.
00:06:33.860 You might call them guerrilla tactics in many cases, the way they're able to employ these.
00:06:38.580 You know, there are a few videos coming out over the weekend.
00:06:40.720 But understand that we're still seeing a situation here.
00:06:43.540 We're going to talk about this in the next segment that is growing incredibly dire.
00:06:47.420 And so we do have talks that are going on right now between Ukraine and Russia.
00:06:53.480 And we hope that this fourth round of talks will hold their virtual talks today.
00:06:57.920 We hope that this will bear fruit.
00:07:00.340 We don't want these sieges to continue.
00:07:02.280 We don't want to see a battle of Kiev.
00:07:03.760 We don't want to see further fighting in Mariupol.
00:07:05.900 We're also told today that Biden's controversial national security advisor, Jake Sullivan,
00:07:11.160 who's caught up in a few scandals himself, is meeting in Rome with China's top diplomat,
00:07:16.240 the top diplomat of the entire CCP, Yang Jiechi.
00:07:19.140 This is the guy who ate Tony Blinken's lunch in Anchorage.
00:07:22.040 I don't think it's going to go very well for the Biden administration in Rome today.
00:07:28.980 Well, across the country, Americans are discovering that if we want to change this nation,
00:07:33.380 you have to change the way the marketplace works.
00:07:36.180 And woke corporations, they are seeking to divide us.
00:07:39.320 Big banks, we've seen them freeze the accounts of people who disagree with their political views.
00:07:43.920 And our supply chain is dependent on countries that actively work against our values.
00:07:48.680 You know, like China.
00:07:49.840 It's time for a change.
00:07:51.460 And that change starts with you and your wallet.
00:07:53.880 That's why I am proud to partner with Public Square.
00:07:56.640 Seriously, this is actually something that's probably one of the most important things you guys can be doing out there.
00:08:01.840 The largest directory, this is freedom-loving businesses that our nation has ever seen.
00:08:06.480 What it is, Public Square, the first app, it connects freedom-loving Americans, that's you,
00:08:10.900 with your local community, and businesses that share your values.
00:08:13.980 So you stop giving money to people that hate you.
00:08:17.340 Now, whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms,
00:08:20.580 or a coffee shop that took a stand against COVID mandates,
00:08:23.420 or a bank that would not cancel you for your political views.
00:08:26.200 This is actual stuff that you can use on a regular basis.
00:08:28.940 Vote with your dollars.
00:08:30.280 How do you find all these places, right?
00:08:32.040 You find these businesses and you support them with Public Square.
00:08:35.180 So Public Square is an app.
00:08:36.720 You just, very simple.
00:08:37.640 You go to the Apple App Store or Google Play, you go to Public Square, download it, set up your app, etc.
00:08:43.520 You can even, by the way, if you have a business and you want to be on Public Square and have this listing,
00:08:47.880 you can do it right there.
00:08:49.560 So people in your local community, people online, they can find you.
00:08:52.200 So you download the app today, Public Square.
00:08:54.660 That is Public Square on Apple App Store or Google Play, Public Square.
00:09:01.180 All right, now we've been hearing a lot about these foreign fighters coming from the West,
00:09:07.640 coming from places like Brazil, going over and joining the Ukrainian Foreign Legion,
00:09:13.040 the National Territorial Defense Force of Iran, this international brigade.
00:09:18.420 President Zelensky, of course, put out the call for this very early on,
00:09:22.120 I think really just one day into the war.
00:09:24.280 Here's that clip.
00:09:24.840 Everyone should help us to stop this occupation.
00:09:30.220 Ukrainian people deserve to become member of the EU.
00:09:34.960 And this would be a signal of your support to Ukraine.
00:09:43.060 If you can destroy the occupiers, please do it.
00:09:47.180 Everyone who can come back to Ukraine, please come back to defend Ukraine.
00:09:52.060 Everyone who can defend Ukraine abroad, please do it.
00:09:55.800 Do it directly in a united way.
00:09:58.500 Every friend of Ukraine who wants to join Ukraine in defending the country,
00:10:06.620 please come over.
00:10:07.780 We will give you weapons.
00:10:10.500 So how do things fare for these volunteers?
00:10:13.060 What's actually going on on the ground there?
00:10:15.600 Well, we saw a report yesterday, and we woke up on Sunday morning,
00:10:19.980 that Russia had actually bombed the very barracks and the base outside of Lviv,
00:10:28.240 all the way in western Ukraine, that these volunteers were using.
00:10:33.340 We're told 35 died in that attack.
00:10:36.220 The 35, the Russians say they were volunteers.
00:10:39.240 The Ukrainians say it was just Ukrainians, right?
00:10:41.580 You know, obviously fog of war and a lot of this stuff.
00:10:43.560 But that was the very base where these volunteers had been arriving outside of Lviv,
00:10:50.720 very, very, very close to the Polish border,
00:10:52.920 only within about a dozen miles from the Polish border.
00:10:56.420 Then this was the same area where a lot of those weapon shipments,
00:10:59.920 those javelin weapon shipments were coming.
00:11:01.540 And Russia told us that those would be targeted as legitimate military targets.
00:11:06.840 So this is something, again, where they are making good on their warnings.
00:11:11.260 But an incredible story in The Economist.
00:11:14.400 And I know, I know, they're going to say,
00:11:16.220 Poso, why are you reading The Economist?
00:11:18.180 Look, I thought this was an incredible story.
00:11:20.340 The guy is clearly actually there in Ukraine and in Poland to do this reporting.
00:11:25.480 And so this comes out over the past couple of weeks.
00:11:28.200 He followed a few, this reporter,
00:11:30.740 who followed a few of these western recruits going in to Ukraine,
00:11:36.220 going to join this international legion.
00:11:37.800 And they go first to, and it's useful and has a lot of utility for us to understand this process, right?
00:11:45.720 You have to understand the process.
00:11:47.080 You have to understand the way the system works.
00:11:48.500 So here's the system.
00:11:49.980 Guy shows up at the Ukrainian embassy in London, says,
00:11:52.760 I need a place to go.
00:11:53.940 I want, he gets a name.
00:11:54.900 He gets an address of a hotel on the Polish border.
00:11:58.500 Buys a ticket to Krakow.
00:12:00.820 Flies from London to Krakow, heads over there,
00:12:03.680 gets in a car, drives all the way to this hotel.
00:12:05.420 It's called the Hotel Cicada, right, on the Polish border.
00:12:08.580 And they've got a sign up that says Foreign Legion.
00:12:10.260 And at this hotel, as you can imagine, it is just packed, chock to the gills.
00:12:14.940 Mercenaries, aid workers, prostitutes, you know, humanitarians, journalists, adrenaline junkies, hippies,
00:12:25.380 just everything under the sun, beer flowing, instant coffee flowing, just craziness, right?
00:12:30.880 People barely sleeping as they are all trying to figure out how to do one thing,
00:12:35.600 how to cross that border to get into Ukraine, right?
00:12:38.900 So he finally gets across.
00:12:40.700 They saddle up, gets over, goes through six checkpoints before he's able to make it to this Ukrainian base.
00:12:46.740 Obviously, they have to worry about infiltration, lots of other things like that.
00:12:49.620 Gets to bed around 3 a.m., gets woken up at 8 a.m.
00:12:52.300 And this is a guy, by the way, who had served as a medic in the U.K. military.
00:12:57.300 He had served in Iraq and a few other places in humanitarian operations.
00:13:01.100 And so he says, look, you know, I think I could use my services for, you know,
00:13:06.520 my skill set for helping with these refugees, get them across.
00:13:09.420 And they say, no, no, no, no, we're not going to be doing any of that.
00:13:11.680 You there, and there was a British anarchist there who was also with him and some Bulgarian
00:13:16.740 who just said he wanted to kill a bunch of Russians.
00:13:18.820 They said, all right, here's how it goes.
00:13:20.260 You get three days of training.
00:13:22.640 Day one, we teach you how to read a map and use a compass.
00:13:25.720 Day two, we teach you basic medical first aid.
00:13:30.760 Day three, you get your gun.
00:13:33.020 We're going to teach you how to use it.
00:13:34.960 Day four, we're sending you into the front lines.
00:13:37.540 You're going to Kiev.
00:13:39.140 Oh, and by the way, here's this contract.
00:13:41.300 The contract says that you will serve with us until the war is over.
00:13:45.960 And the guy's like, wait, until the war is over?
00:13:48.880 Well, who declares when the war is over?
00:13:50.280 Oh, don't worry about that.
00:13:51.440 We decide.
00:13:54.100 Three days of training, and then you head straight to the front lines.
00:13:58.640 The guy left.
00:13:59.440 He spent only nine hours on the ground in Ukraine, and many other of these people are leaving.
00:14:04.220 This is even before the attack that I just talked about, because obviously this reporting
00:14:07.640 was done before the attack.
00:14:08.580 This is a very dire situation.
00:14:12.780 If you're planning to go and get involved in something like this, understand the risks.
00:14:17.760 This is not Iraq or Afghanistan.
00:14:20.300 These guys aren't Syria.
00:14:21.800 This is a professional military with drones, with precision-guided missiles, with air superiority
00:14:29.000 over vast swaths of the terrain.
00:14:31.960 You are going to be going up against actual fire units of the Russian army if you get involved
00:14:40.940 in something like this.
00:14:43.180 And you are fighting, right, in Eastern Europe.
00:14:46.960 You're fighting on territory that they have been fighting over for hundreds of years.
00:14:52.420 Understand the risks.
00:14:54.480 Understand what you're getting into.
00:14:55.960 This isn't a game.
00:14:57.140 This isn't Instagram.
00:14:58.320 And this certainly isn't Reddit.
00:15:01.960 Massive bomb cyclone this weekend.
00:15:06.740 You know, I've been talking about these.
00:15:08.260 I've been saying go to MyPillow.com.
00:15:10.240 Use promo code POSO.
00:15:11.600 We even have the whole launch page set up.
00:15:13.660 You go right there, MyPillow.com slash POSO.
00:15:15.980 And I said, make sure that you're all bundled up, because these bomb cyclones are coming.
00:15:19.440 Guess what?
00:15:20.140 This weekend, I was up visiting family in Pennsylvania.
00:15:23.760 We got caught in a bomb cyclone.
00:15:25.760 And I really mean it was a bomb cyclone, because it went from like 70 degrees on Thursday, right, in the Northeast, to about 20 degrees on Saturday.
00:15:37.540 And we tried, by the way.
00:15:39.280 Yeah, I wanted to take Jack-Jack sledding.
00:15:41.020 I said, come on, let's go do this.
00:15:42.400 I went out with my brother.
00:15:43.980 We get out to the hill.
00:15:44.900 We're at the top of the hill.
00:15:46.820 And, you know, we're about to go down.
00:15:49.340 We've got my dad's old toboggan out, the one that I used to go down when we were all kids.
00:15:52.700 He would put the whole family together, and we'd go down on this thing outside of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
00:15:57.680 And this wind is just like smacking us in the face.
00:16:02.320 I mean, it was intense.
00:16:03.620 We've got a couple of videos of it.
00:16:05.160 But it was so bad that I'm like, look, my son's three years old.
00:16:08.100 He cannot be out here.
00:16:09.140 So we took him home, wrapped him up in my pillows, wrapped him up in the blankets, wrapped him up, put him on.
00:16:16.340 We've got, like, of course, the biblical, the Bible pillows for him.
00:16:19.240 Put him on.
00:16:19.880 He was so much happier to be at home bundled up in his my pillow stuff rather than outside in the bomb cyclone.
00:16:26.860 So it was like all of that stuff that I've been saying again and again, it finally came true.
00:16:32.480 And it came true for us.
00:16:33.540 And luckily, we had our my pillow supply.
00:16:35.540 So that's what you do.
00:16:36.980 MyPillow.com slash Poso.
00:16:38.280 So President Biden, President Biden has put in a new executive order on cryptocurrency.
00:16:44.920 If you are out there, if you're a coiner, right, or if even if you're a no coiner who's interested in understanding, you know, what is this crypto stuff?
00:16:52.620 You've heard about it, read about it.
00:16:54.620 You know, Elon Musk tweets about it constantly.
00:16:56.880 What is it?
00:16:57.580 What does it mean for you?
00:16:58.540 And how does this EO affect it?
00:17:01.080 Here's CNBC with their take on the situation.
00:17:03.540 What they're saying is that this is responsible innovation.
00:17:07.300 President Biden will sign this executive order today calling for just that in the crypto industry.
00:17:13.260 The White House is directing a government wide audit of the risks and potential benefits focused on a list of six key priorities.
00:17:20.820 And those are consumer and investor protection, financial stability, illicit finance, U.S.
00:17:26.580 Competitiveness, equity and inclusion and a host of other factors like privacy, security and climate.
00:17:32.680 And now Zero Hedge had a really, really good analysis of this whole thing, broke it down because what they were talking about isn't so much the order itself, but what the order means and the fact that this clearly now sets out a guideline and a roadmap for the future of crypto and the future of finance.
00:17:51.800 Look, I think we all understand that the U.S. dollar, as the world reserve currency, is not long for this world.
00:17:59.680 We don't know how long that's going to happen.
00:18:01.480 We don't think that's a good thing, by the way.
00:18:03.160 It'd be terrible for the United States.
00:18:05.260 So how do we say fiscally solvent?
00:18:06.940 How do we protect the money of the people in this country who live paycheck to paycheck, who have less than $5,000 in their bank account and their checking account?
00:18:17.320 What do we do for those people?
00:18:19.720 How do we help them?
00:18:21.060 How do we make sure that those people are cared about?
00:18:24.920 And it's not really our elites who care about this because they're the ones that have been pushing inflation.
00:18:29.720 They're the ones.
00:18:30.260 And by the way, I've seen people say, oh, well, inflation is because of the stimulus bills.
00:18:34.160 Wrong.
00:18:34.560 The stimulus checks that came out were a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of quantitative easing and the money printer that the Fed was giving to all of their buddies for all this great reset stuff, this ESG crap, BlackRock, Blackstone, all their buddies and the elites at the top.
00:18:52.780 But here's what Zero Hedge says.
00:18:55.300 Central bank digital currency.
00:18:57.980 That's where all this is going.
00:18:59.400 Digital currencies are set to play a leading role in the future of finance.
00:19:05.380 The mandate is unequivocal.
00:19:06.980 It is not to say that everyone and everything in digital will win.
00:19:09.620 To the contrary, the message is more about embracing the technologies for the strategic betterment of America than accepting the current state of play in areas like DeFi, decentralized finance.
00:19:18.100 Digital asset technologies are transformative in how we transfer value.
00:19:21.400 It has the potential to level the playing field in all markets as the lines between traditional and native digital assets become blurred alongside a broadening of tokenization.
00:19:32.460 We welcome the strategic initiatives.
00:19:33.980 Look, digital is here to stay.
00:19:35.960 Keep in mind, right, that a lot of the U.S. dollars that are out there, you ready for a mind bender, already are a form of digital currency in the form of a token.
00:19:45.460 What does that mean?
00:19:46.100 Well, that money in your bank account isn't cash that you can just go and pull out.
00:19:50.100 That's on a ledger somewhere.
00:19:52.180 So the Federal Reserve and our government are working to figure out a way to combine that with crypto.
00:19:58.960 Will it screw up?
00:20:00.040 Probably.
00:20:00.800 It's the government after all.
00:20:05.000 Well, Governor Ron DeSantis is set to sign an anti-grooming bill in the state of Florida.
00:20:10.920 What does this mean?
00:20:11.520 That means discussion or teaching on sexual identity and gender identity will not be done to children under the age of or under, you know, grade three or lower, grade three through kindergarten, right?
00:20:26.100 This is an obvious move, an obvious common sense move.
00:20:30.160 And the only people who would push for sexual education, right, for children of that age, probably a groomer.
00:20:39.240 That's why we're calling it the anti-grooming bill.
00:20:41.620 Now, of course, the mainstream media is saying something else.
00:20:43.760 They're saying, oh, no, it's the don't say gay law, right?
00:20:45.660 But it actually doesn't even say anything about that.
00:20:47.900 What it says is we're not going to be teaching this stuff to children.
00:20:51.700 We're going to let it alone up to a certain age.
00:20:55.940 And then after that age, maybe we'll talk about that.
00:20:58.480 Let's know what Jen Psaki said, the White House press secretary.
00:21:00.700 Listen to this.
00:21:01.540 Well, I think that you have seen the president speak passionately about his view that a bill like this, a bill that would discriminate against families, against kids,
00:21:12.700 put these kids in a position of not getting the support they need at a time where that's exactly what they need is discriminatory.
00:21:21.860 It's a form of bullying.
00:21:24.120 It is horrific.
00:21:25.680 I mean, the president has spoken to that.
00:21:27.260 In terms of his views and comments from 25 years ago, I think the most important question now is why are Florida leaders deciding they need to discriminate against kids who are members of the LGBTQI community?
00:21:39.480 What prompts them to do that?
00:21:40.960 Is it meanness?
00:21:42.160 Is it wanting to make kids have more difficult times in school, in their communities?
00:21:46.240 I would pose that question to them, and we can talk about it more tomorrow if you get an answer.
00:21:50.220 Now, the reasoning behind this bill is simple.
00:21:53.160 Let children be children.
00:21:55.900 Let them understand their own childhood.
00:21:59.240 This is not the type of stuff that they should be learning at such a young and impressionable age.
00:22:04.540 They should be learning the alphabet, how to read and write, how to count, right?
00:22:09.780 How to put together basic sentence structure, arithmetic, basic math, addition, subtraction.
00:22:16.840 You see so many adults, by the way, like people here in Washington, D.C., don't even know math, right?
00:22:20.860 They can't even, you know, calculate percentages.
00:22:24.240 You know, I remember learning fractions in third grade, but here in Washington, D.C., you know, they'll put, you know, the spending bills, $14 billion for Ukraine that they just find overnight somewhere.
00:22:33.960 But you can't find any other money anywhere else when it comes to the defense of this country.
00:22:38.140 It's an interesting question.
00:22:39.640 Why is it that people in D.C. can't do math?
00:22:42.640 Well, it's because they don't actually focus on this stuff.
00:22:44.740 They focus on things like gender studies, and that's the only thing they focus on for pretty much their entire lives.
00:22:49.600 Also, what they're forcing on our military.
00:22:52.380 And so what Governor DeSantis is doing here, it's not an attack on anybody.
00:22:56.880 It's a protection.
00:22:58.360 It's a protection on our children, and it's a protection on our families,
00:23:02.440 and it's setting up our society for a better future.
00:23:08.220 Stop indoctrinating children and messing around with these types of topics.
00:23:14.660 They're very complicated.
00:23:17.060 They're very advanced, and they don't need to be learning that.
00:23:21.680 Look, my three-year-old watches PJ Masks, right?
00:23:25.720 You know, we teach him his prayers, teach him basic nutrition.
00:23:30.480 Why should we be eating his vegetables?
00:23:33.060 That's the stuff that you should be teaching children, not this kind of stuff.
00:23:37.860 Because what are you setting themselves up for?
00:23:39.820 What are you setting them up for?
00:23:41.520 What is your actual agenda if this is what you want to push on children?
00:23:47.100 I think it's pretty clear, and that's why we call it an anti-grooming bill.
00:23:51.780 It's also one of those great things like Antifa, right?
00:23:53.960 Well, if you're against the anti-grooming bill, what does that make you?
00:23:59.080 All right, and that is all the time we have tonight on Human Events Daily.
00:24:06.060 Today's top stories were, we talked about the ground war update, day 19.
00:24:10.660 We talked about foreign fighters, the volunteers deserting from their posts, fleeing from Ukraine.
00:24:16.460 Third, we talked about President Biden's new executive order on cryptocurrency.
00:24:20.100 And finally, we talked about Florida's new bill set to be signed on anti-grooming, the grooming of children in public schools.
00:24:28.200 And as always, our promise, our oath, our solemn vow to you is to be good, be brief, be gone.
00:24:33.200 This is your hardest-hitting, highest action-packed analysis and information, not indoctrination, that you'll get anywhere else.
00:24:40.900 But before we go, it's time for today's history break.
00:24:44.360 Today, in 1964, the world's first televised verdict, jury verdict, was given.
00:24:53.460 What was that trial?
00:24:54.820 It was the guilty verdict in the trial of Jack Ruby.
00:24:58.180 Who was Jack Ruby?
00:24:59.100 Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald, who, we're told, shot JFK.
00:25:04.100 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
