00:00:27.140 The next one to bring up, Dallas, Texas.
00:00:29.640 We are going down.

00:00:53.300 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of Human Events Daily
00:00:56.780 powered by Turning Point USA, today's top stories.
00:00:59.360 The war in Ukraine.
00:01:01.320 We're on day 26.
00:01:02.700 We've got a full on-the-ground update for you.
00:01:05.000 Next up, four U.S. Marines died in Norway during a NATO drill.
00:01:10.140 We'll explain that.
00:01:11.220 Third, the U.K. says that COVID deaths may have been overcounted,
00:01:16.460 and Twitter is censoring the article.
00:01:18.580 And then finally, El Huevo's capture, a milestone in the cartel war.
00:01:22.660 We'll dig into it.
00:01:23.240 All this and we're ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:01:24.700 Now is the time for meaningful talks.
00:01:40.000 That was the message from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Moscow on Saturday,
00:01:45.300 as he called on Russia to stop its invasion.
00:01:48.040 This is the only chance for Russia to reduce harm from its mistakes, he said,
00:01:54.020 adding that it would otherwise take Russia several generations to recover from the war.
00:01:59.760 All right, so we now enter day 26, the war in Ukraine.
00:02:04.680 We've got a new assessment out just last night from the French Ministry of Defense.
00:02:09.640 Let's dig into it.
00:02:10.460 Strong pressure on urban centers on the east and south is maintained by intense bombardments,
00:02:16.000 in particular in Mariupol and Mykolaiv.
00:02:18.880 In addition, the city of Mariupol, whose first defenses have been breached,
00:02:22.600 Izyum, is under strong pressure.
00:02:24.160 Elsewhere, the tactical situation remains fixed.
00:02:26.860 On the northern front, Kyiv, the encirclement maneuver from the west and east of the capital continues.
00:02:32.460 On the eastern front, Kharkov, the Russian forces continue their maneuver
00:02:36.320 to encircle the city in parallel with numerous bombardments, in particular the south in the area of Izyum.
00:02:41.920 Remember, that city of Izyum, I've explained again and again, is such an important point to this
00:02:46.940 because that would be the breakout point for those Ukrainian forces that are at risk of envelopment in the east.
00:02:53.100 If Russia is able to take that strategic city of Izyum, cut off that highway from north and south, 0.94
00:02:58.740 then they will effectively have encircled in what they call the southern cauldron,
00:03:03.120 the Ukrainian forces that are there in the east that had originally been maintained along the line with the Donbass region.
00:03:10.980 Next, Dnepro.
00:03:12.600 Again, Dnepro is just past this to the west on the Dnepro River itself.
00:03:17.940 We're seeing now a probable convergence point of Russian forces in the south and east,
00:03:23.120 which continue to regenerate in preparation for maneuvering into that city of Duprno itself.
00:03:28.920 Mariupol.
00:03:29.400 The fighting is now taking place near the city center itself, and Russian strikes remain intense
00:03:34.840 as the health situation of the inhabitants and the combatants continues to deteriorate.
00:03:39.960 Now, on the southern front, slow but steady advance of Russian forces towards the towns of Zaporozhitsya
00:03:45.400 and Kriviri is very significant because that is, again, on the western bank of the Dnepro River.
00:03:51.820 This is an area on the west where we haven't seen the Russians too active.
00:03:55.480 Now they're beginning to advance along that western half of the country as well.
00:03:59.180 Finally, Mikolayev, the bombardments, and the fighting are extremely intense for control of the town and its surroundings.
00:04:05.720 Now, some information on the political side that came out over the weekend.
00:04:10.460 President Zelensky has banned 11 opposition parties and has signed a new order under martial law
00:04:16.520 to consolidate all Ukrainian television under one government-approved media control.
00:04:23.200 I think a lot of people here in the west are worried that, boy, Klaus Schwab would love to be able to do something like that
00:04:30.380 here in the United States or across the west writ large.
00:04:34.040 He wants to shut down shows like this.
00:04:36.760 They want to censor people like ourselves and others out in independent media across social media.
00:04:41.680 That's why you see the kind of censorship that's out there.
00:04:44.200 We're going to talk about censorship in an upcoming segment about COVID and the overcounting of deaths
00:04:49.480 or possible overcounting of deaths in the UK.
00:04:52.020 Ukrainian military forces are in dire straits.
00:04:55.240 Now, Russia, it was reported over the weekend, called for the combatants in Mariupol to surrender.
00:05:03.040 They said, we're going to institute a ceasefire, allow civilians to continue to flee the area,
00:05:08.080 and hopefully as many civilians as possible can get out of these areas where the fighting is in.
00:05:13.580 They can utilize these humanitarian corridors.
00:05:15.900 We've also seen videos about how there's a lot of vetting that's going on of these civilians.
00:05:20.700 They're looking for people who have ties to this neo-Nazi Azov battalion.
00:05:25.320 And remember, that Azov battalion, as one of their headquarters and one of their choke points, 1.00
00:05:32.520 really is that city of Mariupol.
00:05:34.840 That is a place where they are highly concentrated and may be making one of their last stands.
00:05:40.000 Now, we heard, of course, from the Russian side, they were calling for a surrender.
00:05:44.380 From the Ukrainian side, they rejected that.
00:05:47.100 So they rejected the idea of surrender in Mariupol.
00:05:49.380 We've not seen the surrender in any of the major cities whatsoever across Ukraine as the fighting continues.
00:05:55.000 On the diplomatic side, not a lot to report.
00:05:58.680 I wish there certainly were.
00:05:59.880 I wish there were more of a ceasefire talks that were going on.
00:06:03.180 But when you hear people in the EU and when you hear people across the United States, these politicians,
00:06:08.900 you do not hear many people calling for de-escalation.
00:06:12.880 And that's the way you've got to read the news these days.
00:06:15.240 Who is calling for escalation and who is calling for de-escalation?
00:06:18.700 These are the two camps in which we can put our political leaders and our thought leaders.
00:06:23.080 And yet all we hear is more escalation, more weapons, more killing, more shelling.
00:06:28.340 That seems to be the only thing that leaders on any of the sides of this are calling for.
00:06:33.840 The one person that we've heard calling for de-escalation or any kind of talks are the Turks, right? 1.00
00:06:39.140 Erdogan, of course, which puts them in a tough position because they are a NATO member.
00:06:42.640 And yet they are also very pro-Russia.
00:06:45.000 Stick with us, human events, as we continue our daily coverage of the ground updates on the battlefield of Ukraine.
00:06:51.200 Last week, a study by the American Psychological Association revealed that over 80% of Americans feel anxious about inflation and the war in Ukraine.
00:07:03.480 I cannot emphasize this enough.
00:07:05.980 Take care of your bodies.
00:07:07.700 It will help.
00:07:08.700 You've got to exercise.
00:07:09.840 That's number one.
00:07:10.540 But how do you start?
00:07:11.720 Eat healthy.
00:07:13.020 Which is why I recommend Field of Greens from my friends at Brickhouse Nutrition.
00:07:16.800 Field of Greens is packed with 18 clinically researched essential fruits and vegetables loaded with antioxidants.
00:07:24.360 It supports your immune system, your heart health, metabolism, blood pressure, and digestion.
00:07:28.980 Plus, it is pre- and probiotic.
00:07:31.060 And because Field of Greens uses real organic fruits and vegetables, there is no mixing and matching pills.
00:07:37.580 I'm telling you, Brickhouse Nutrition does it right.
00:07:39.860 You just put one scoop in a glass of water, stir, and you're done.
00:07:43.140 Here's the best part.
00:07:44.700 It tastes great, and it comes in multiple flavors.
00:07:47.460 So, what's the website?
00:07:48.280 You go to BrickhousePoso.com and get 15% off your first order with promo code POSO.
00:07:54.500 They also just released a health bar version called Hole in One.
00:07:59.340 It's great as an on-the-go snack.
00:08:00.980 It doesn't have that chalky protein bar taste.
00:08:03.120 And all you need to do is tear off the wrapper.
00:08:05.680 There are no more excuses for not eating healthy.
00:08:08.940 Check it all out.
00:08:10.080 BrickhousePoso.com.
00:08:11.320 So, terrible news out of Norway over the weekend and really far north, all the way up inside the actual Arctic Circle itself.
00:08:22.540 We got reports that four U.S. Marines were killed during NATO drills in Norway.
00:08:27.620 Now, they have been identified, and I'll read their names for you here.
00:08:31.160 It's right off the coast of Norway, and it looked like it was a helicopter crash.
00:08:35.620 Again, another incident involving the MV-22 Osprey.
00:08:40.100 There's been so many incidents involving this thing.
00:08:43.480 You know, I remember that when I was serving in Seventh Fleet, they were talking about exporting these to Japan.
00:08:48.300 And the Japanese military and even a lot of the Japanese civilian leaders were very concerned about these, their tilt rotor aircraft.
00:08:57.160 And we're very concerned of them flying over civilian airspace in Japan because of so many issues that have plagued this platform, the MV-22 Osprey, since its inception a few years ago.
00:09:10.040 So, the four Marines who died in this, Corporal Jacob M. Moore of Cattlesburg, Kentucky, Gunnery Sergeant James W. Speedy of Cambridge, Ohio, Captain Matthew Tamekovich of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Captain Ross Reynolds of Leominster, Massachusetts, ages 24, 30, 27, and 27.
00:09:31.280 And 30 years old, was the oldest one, Semper Fi to the Marines who lost their lives out there.
00:09:36.380 And now understand, the reason that we're seeing this, the reason that we're seeing these operations continuing on in the Arctic Circle, in the far north of Norway, right?
00:09:49.480 Norway is the northernmost NATO member.
00:09:52.320 I suppose you could say Canada, potentially, but the northernmost native member in terms of Europe.
00:09:57.580 And Sweden and Finland, which, of course, are also part of that Scandinavian peninsula that are right next to Norway, are not members of NATO.
00:10:04.560 And so, there's been a lot of talk lately about whether or not NATO should be expanded, what should be the limits of NATO expansion, and writ large, what is the purpose of NATO?
00:10:18.700 Is NATO truly a defensive alliance, or when you look at the recent history of NATO, if you look at the history of the invasion of Libya, the bombing of Libya, the destruction of that country's government,
00:10:29.200 the bombing of Yugoslavia during the 1990s, the attacks in Afghanistan, and the occupation of Afghanistan that continued for 20 years, these were all NATO-led missions.
00:10:41.100 And so, the question that a lot of people are saying is, is NATO purely a defensive alliance when it's conducting operations like this around the world?
00:10:49.080 Now, possibly, it might be a defensive alliance in terms of Europe, but it also clearly has offensive capabilities around the world,
00:10:56.820 and obviously has been focusing on areas like Georgia and Ukraine going all the way back to 2008.
00:11:03.120 And NATO membership for Ukraine is, of course, one of the main provocations that's been cited by the Russian side
00:11:09.660 as the cause for the recent uptick or the recent restart, you could say, of the Russia-Ukrainian war.
00:11:16.860 All the way back in 2014, by the way, NATO played a role as well, and that's why I'm talking about it this way,
00:11:21.600 because people need to understand that you can't come into this story.
00:11:25.380 You can't come into the story of NATO, of U.S.-Russia relations, of Western Europe and Russia relations,
00:11:31.420 as if, you know, history began in 2010 or history began in 2022.
00:11:37.040 That's not how it works.
00:11:39.100 All of history leads you to a certain point, and these influences and these contexts and these pressures,
00:11:45.380 the pressures of history itself, the pressures of economics, the pressures of demographics,
00:11:49.540 they all play a role into everything that we see play across.
00:11:53.980 And, of course, culture plays a part of this as well, right?
00:11:58.200 It's simply a fact that many of the people of Ukraine speak Russian.
00:12:02.960 A lot of the people in Russia consider Ukraine to be a part of Russia.
00:12:06.880 I'm not making that argument.
00:12:07.920 I'm simply saying that's how they view it, and it is a complicated situation.
00:12:14.020 And so when they heard that NATO was potentially going to separate, and keep in mind,
00:12:19.540 that would be a clear separation of the military bloc of NATO by bringing Ukraine in.
00:12:24.860 You've got a lot of people that are, you know, they're either, they've got, you know,
00:12:28.860 one parent is Ukrainian, one parent is Russian.
00:12:31.260 You've got people who speak different languages.
00:12:32.980 You've got family that's across those borders.
00:12:35.540 But if Ukraine joined NATO, that means a military bloc would then separate them.
00:12:40.220 That means certainly immigration would become a huge issue.
00:12:43.460 Travel and transport would become a huge issue going across those borders,
00:12:46.600 because now you've got a military alliance separating the two sides.
00:12:51.440 Also, you've got the basic security potential as well,
00:12:54.700 because if they were going to be putting missiles, bases inside Ukraine,
00:12:58.520 this, of course, was seen as an existential threat by the Kremlin.
00:13:03.520 But I want people to also understand this.
00:13:06.280 A lot of people that I hear, the neocons, the sort of establishment, right,
00:13:10.940 they love Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
00:13:14.060 And Solzhenitsyn is known for writing the Gulag Archipelago,
00:13:17.160 as someone who actually spent time as a dissident,
00:13:19.440 who was arrested and placed in the gulags.
00:13:22.060 But Solzhenitsyn himself was a massive critic of NATO.
00:13:27.800 And he was a supporter of limiting NATO elements from expanding into Eastern Europe.
00:13:36.060 He certainly didn't want Ukraine to be part of NATO.
00:13:38.680 And towards the end of his life, did support elements to rein in the oligarchs in Russia
00:13:43.680 and supported the re-strengthening of Russia.
00:13:46.960 See, people got him, people got Solzhenitsyn all wrong.
00:13:49.900 He wasn't anti-Russia.
00:13:52.020 He was anti-communism.
00:13:54.540 And imagine if how different history could have been.
00:13:56.980 If instead of America demonizing and provoking this world nuclear power, 0.81
00:14:04.940 that they had actually tried to find ways that we could cooperate together
00:14:09.500 in a true world order.
00:14:16.740 Easter is coming up.
00:14:19.020 Easter Sunday is fast approaching.
00:14:22.680 So to all the fellows out there, to all the ladies,
00:14:25.420 as you're getting stuff ready for Easter,
00:14:28.400 just keep in mind that when the gift-giving comes around for those kiddies,
00:14:33.280 for the special people in your family,
00:14:34.820 remember to go to MyPillow.com and utilize promo code POSO for up to 66% off.
00:14:40.780 And you can get the amazing Bible pillows.
00:14:43.740 You can get the incredible deals, the slippers, the toppers.
00:14:47.140 You can get the sheets, the towel sets.
00:14:49.700 Have them all for your Easter basket while you're getting it set up.
00:14:53.660 The Bible pillows, by the way, we love them.
00:14:55.880 But this weekend, I got to tell you guys.
00:14:58.040 So something, it happened.
00:15:00.720 It actually happened this weekend.
00:15:02.000 So Jack-Jack, he's my three-year-old.
00:15:03.560 Three-year-old going on, 30-year-old.
00:15:05.580 And he is, he always sleeps with the Bible pillows. 0.88
00:15:09.440 So he always has his nativity scene pillow.
00:15:12.520 And so every night we say, good night, Joseph.
00:15:15.440 Good night, Mary.
00:15:16.640 Good night, baby Jesus.
00:15:17.980 Good night, sheep.
00:15:18.780 Because the sheep are always there.
00:15:20.160 But this weekend, I let him stay up a little bit.
00:15:24.100 It was Saturday night.
00:15:25.180 We were watching some TV.
00:15:27.940 And we had the big MyPillows out on the bed in our spare bedroom.
00:15:34.060 Well, he actually asked me if he could take the full-size MyPillow back to his bed with him.
00:15:40.920 And I let him.
00:15:41.960 So now for the very first time, he's got his full-size MyPillow.
00:15:45.140 And ladies and gentlemen, I don't think he's giving it back.
00:15:49.000 So there you go.
00:15:49.800 From three years old, we've got a lifetime MyPillow supporter.
00:15:53.980 And you can be too.
00:15:54.960 MyPillow.com, promo code POSO. 0.98
00:15:56.320 So this next story, folks, so ridiculous and crazy, possibly even criminal. 0.92
00:16:04.980 We've got to get into it. 0.98
00:16:05.920 And of course, it involves Dr. Fauci.
00:16:08.000 So Dr. Fauci was out this weekend.
00:16:09.680 They finally let him back on ABC, this egotistical maniac who's, yeah, he's the highest paid guy,
00:16:17.820 the highest paid doctor and the highest paid employee in government. 0.96
00:16:20.080 But it actually shows that he's not really that smart.
00:16:22.900 Because if you're the highest paid person in government, that still means you're making far,
00:16:27.760 far less than the people in the private sector.
00:16:31.280 So yeah, he's making his 400 plus K.
00:16:34.080 But he could be making millions in the private sector, the same private sector, by the way,
00:16:37.780 big pharma, that's making billions off of Dr. Fauci.
00:16:41.520 Take a listen.
00:16:41.940 You know, you've said you're going to stay in this job until we get out of the pandemic phase.
00:16:45.420 Of course, you've been serving your country now for decades.
00:16:48.440 Are we approaching the point where we are past the pandemic phase and you'll go get some rest?
00:16:56.120 I'm not so sure, George.
00:16:57.480 I want to make sure we're really out of this before I really seriously consider doing anything different.
00:17:02.380 We're still in this.
00:17:03.360 We have a way to go.
00:17:04.140 I think we're clearly going in the right direction.
00:17:06.220 I hope we stay that way.
00:17:07.520 But here's what I found completely interesting.
00:17:12.000 So Daily Mail had the headline up over the weekend that I saw and it said DailyMail.co.uk.
00:17:17.720 So Daily Mail is, of course, a UK publication.
00:17:19.500 It said, did official figures overestimate Britain's COVID death toll?
00:17:24.520 The chaotic way that mortalities were recorded during the pandemic
00:17:27.680 could mean that thousands were wrongly blamed on the virus.
00:17:31.880 And so there was this really interesting Eve Simmons article, and she's writing about this
00:17:37.200 and talking about the difference between people who died from COVID versus people who died with COVID.
00:17:43.360 And it's been a debate that a lot of people have been making since day one of this entire thing that came out.
00:17:49.220 And so how should we measure this?
00:17:52.360 And now it's starting, by the way, in mainstream publications to start to finally get traction,
00:17:57.560 of course, two years later.
00:17:59.060 And so we may see revisions down when it comes to the final stay on all of COVID.
00:18:04.500 But what was even more interesting to me was that I went to tweet out the article.
00:18:09.280 I see in the comments, people are saying, hey, Poso, we're clicking on this.
00:18:15.300 But Twitter is sending us to a splash screen that says, warning, the link you may be trying to visit is unsafe.
00:18:24.300 So I tried it myself, and lo and behold, I got the exact same message.
00:18:28.960 And yet it simply went to the main Daily Mail website.
00:18:32.140 It wasn't some like extra site that they were sending you to when you clicked on it.
00:18:35.760 And it only happened through Twitter.
00:18:39.340 Twitter was trying to censor this article specifically.
00:18:44.300 And why is that?
00:18:46.280 Well, it's probably because of keywords that are on there.
00:18:48.340 And yeah, sure, there may be of some technical issue that they were going with.
00:18:52.840 But isn't it interesting that all of the technical issues, all of the glitches, all of the errors go in the same direction?
00:18:59.980 Statistically speaking, you would think that there would be some errors every once in a while that went in the other direction.
00:19:06.300 That's just called the law of averages.
00:19:08.400 We don't live in the law of averages anymore.
00:19:10.660 We live in the law of unintended consequences.
00:19:14.600 Across the country, Americans are discovering that if we want to change this nation, we have to change the way the marketplace works.
00:19:22.500 Woke corporations, they're seeking to divide us.
00:19:25.120 Big banks are freezing the accounts of people who disagree with their political views.
00:19:30.280 And our supply chain is dependent on countries that actively work against our values.
00:19:34.720 You know, like China.
00:19:36.280 It is time for a change.
00:19:38.220 And that change starts with you and your wallet.
00:19:40.520 Stop giving money to people who hate you.
00:19:43.760 So what do you do?

00:20:34.400 That is Public Square, Public Square, the App Store, and Google Play.
00:20:41.460 So I kind of feel like I'm the only person in the English language media that actually cares about this entire story about El Huevo
00:20:49.580 and this massive cartel leader who was taken out in northern Mexico, captured last week, not killed, but captured,
00:20:57.500 and deported to the United States.
00:20:59.040 See, there's this massive cartel war that's been going on in the narco state that's directly to the south of the United States.
00:21:08.200 And yet, for some reason, we don't talk about it.
00:21:10.560 We don't report on it the same way that we talk about Ukraine.
00:21:14.760 And I said, you know what?
00:21:16.060 Well, how much of that is on me then, right?
00:21:18.020 You know, I've become a media figure at this point.
00:21:20.680 There's people that listen to me.
00:21:22.000 I found in El Pais, which is the main newspaper of Spain, believe it or not.
00:21:29.300 They had an incredible article over the weekend, and I'm going to link to it, and I've got the translation here.
00:21:35.060 But this is a fascinating article that's just actually digging through and explaining everything that's going on with this latest update in the war.
00:21:43.640 I want to read some of it to you, but understand, so the Zeta cartel, the Los Zetas cartel, was the most powerful and most brutal cartel on the border up until just a couple of years ago
00:21:56.160 when the leaders of them were captured or killed in various operations between the United States and Mexico.
00:22:05.580 These guys, and I talked about it a little bit last week when we were going into the story, insane levels of brutality.
00:22:13.640 Dissolving bodies in acid, beheadings, hangings, carving people up, and then leaving them as messages for others.
00:22:23.320 By the way, the Zetas, how did they get started?
00:22:25.740 They were part of the Mexican military who trained with U.S. special forces and then broke away and became their own cartel.
00:22:34.100 So they were going after them.
00:22:35.640 But now there's a new generation of basically after the cell was broken, after the cartel was broken, numerous splinter cells broke off.
00:22:46.740 Some of them are trying to reconstitute it, but then other members of them are fighting each other.
00:22:51.600 And this guy, El Huevo, was the leader of one of these breakaway cells of that larger Los Zetas cartel.
00:22:58.960 And so in this situation, you've got him who's a nephew.
00:23:03.400 He's a member of the Trevino family, and the Trevinos were the leaders of the Zetas.
00:23:08.200 But there's other people in northern Mexico that don't want the Trevinos to come back. 0.99
00:23:14.100 They don't believe that he is, you know, the rightful heir.
00:23:16.600 So this is a piece from El País explaining it.
00:23:20.040 Despite the fact that there are two powerful organizations that control drug trafficking throughout Mexico, the Sinaloa cartel and the Jalisco New Generation, the Northeast cartel is the third largest criminal group.
00:23:32.820 Their presence in many territories, such as Tamaulipas, Nueva León, Cogila, Tabasco, and Veracruz, has consolidated them more quietly than the big ones as one of the main Mexican drug cartels.
00:23:44.840 As explained by security analyst Eduardo Guerrero, those from the Northeast, they managed to accumulate a large part of the cells that broke off from the old Zetas.
00:23:55.820 Its character, like that of its founders, is to impose force using terror above any type of negotiation or redline.
00:24:03.160 And although, according to the security consultant Lantia, they have suffered persecution from the state government led by Francisco Garcia de Vaca, they remain robust.
00:24:13.660 So understand, this is part of them trying to rebuild that empire.
00:24:17.700 But the question comes, if they take out El Huevo, do the other cartels then stand to gain by taking over this area?
00:24:27.780 Are they working with the other splinter cells of the Zetas? 0.81
00:24:31.360 Or are you going to see more infighting?
00:24:33.900 Keep in mind, this is happening directly to the south of the United States, only feet away, minutes away from the U.S. border, right across in the narco-state anarchy to our very south. 0.89
00:24:46.800 And that is all the time we have today, Human Events Daily.
00:24:52.840 Remember, our promise, our oath, our solemn vow to you.
00:24:55.220 Be good, be brief, be gone, and your homework for us.
00:24:57.640 Share this out with one of your Normie friends and leave us your five-star review.
00:25:02.420 Folks, today we talked about the war in Ukraine, Day 26 update.
00:25:05.560 We talked about the four U.S. Marines who died tragically in Norway on that MV-22 Osprey during a NATO drill.
00:25:11.560 We talked about Twitter censoring the article about U.K. potentially overcounting COVID deaths.
00:25:18.400 And we got into this crazy level, El Huevo's capture, the milestone in a cartel war.
00:25:23.860 He literally has, this guy, by the way, I didn't mention, a team, his own troop of assassins, Sicarios, that he calls the Troop of Hell.
00:25:31.580 You need to read more about El Huevo and the cartel war, and we're going to be talking more about it.
00:25:36.160 Before we go, today's history break.
00:25:38.100 Today in 2006, the first ever tweet sent by Jack Dorsey.
00:25:44.020 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
