00:00:00.000 All right, folks, as you know, Human Events Daily is powered by Turning Point USA. So a couple of
00:00:05.380 upcoming things at Turning Point USA to put on your radar screen. First up, the Young Women's 0.91
00:00:12.020 Leadership Summit is coming June 2nd to the 4th, Dallas, Texas. If you want to come down,
00:00:17.380 if you want to get your reservation, you go to tposa.com slash YWLS. You go, you make your

00:00:29.360 room only at one point. So make sure that you get your reservations in today. Dallas, Texas,
00:00:34.580 June 2nd to 4th. I know June, it's coming. It's coming very fast. Next up, our latest debate night
00:00:39.280 just dropped. Charlie Kirk facing off with Antifa founder of Strike Pack and a former professor,
00:00:46.140 Rachel Biddecoffer. This is an informative, important debate. They talk about critical
00:00:49.920 race theory in schools, the history of slavery, so many other things. You've got to check it out.
00:00:54.000 And then finally, the TPSA Socialism Sucks. New season just dropped. Season 2, Episode 1 just came
00:01:01.200 out. It's all about COVID-19, everything that China doesn't want you to know about the Wuhan lab and 0.87
00:01:08.480 Dr. Fauci's involvement with it. Go check it out. TPSA Socialism Sucks.
00:01:14.220 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning 0.97
00:01:18.240 Point USA. Today's top stories, Judge Jackson responding to her leniency on child pornography
00:01:24.680 cases. Next, the war in Ukraine, Day 27 update. We've got the report from the Ministry of Defense,
00:01:31.000 hot off the press. Third, U.S. sanctioning Chinese officials after demanding that Beijing condemn
00:01:36.980 Russia. And finally, wheat prices are soaring amid the war in Ukraine, potential dust bowl conditions
00:01:42.780 here in the United States. All this more ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:01:48.240 As you said, the guideline was based originally on a statutory scheme and on directives, specific
00:02:04.700 directives by Congress at a time in which more serious child pornography offenders were identified
00:02:14.660 based on the volume, based on the number of photographs that they received in the mail.
00:02:21.760 And that made totally total sense before when we didn't have the internet, when we didn't have
00:02:27.440 distribution. But the way that the guideline is now structured based on that set of circumstances
00:02:33.660 is leading to extreme disparities in the system because it's so easy for people to get volumes of this kind of material now
00:02:45.600 by computers. So it's not doing the work of differentiating who is a more serious offender in the way that it used to.
00:02:55.980 So the commission has taken that into account and perhaps even more importantly, courts are adjusting their sentences in order to account for the changed circumstances.
00:03:08.020 But it says nothing about the court's view of the seriousness of this offense.
00:03:13.600 So that's the logic you're getting from our Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown-Jackson.
00:03:20.400 The logic you see is that when you use computers, the sentence is different or should be different from when you use the mail
00:03:29.640 and that these laws then should be reformed because they were written for a time when people were distributing child pornography with mail via mail
00:03:38.400 rather than with computers. Okay, I can think of a couple of problems with this. In fact, I can think of a lot of problems with this.
00:03:48.020 All right, number one, it's a simple separation of powers argument. You, Judge Jackson, are nominated to be a judge,
00:03:59.240 a justice of the Supreme Court. That's the judicial branch.
00:04:02.020 It is not your job to make new laws or pick and choose which laws you want to apply and which laws you think need to be reformed.
00:04:11.900 That is a little something that we call legislation. That is the job of a legislator.
00:04:17.360 Look, if you want to run for Congress, if you want to become a senator, if you want to have your say on the way that the laws in this country should be,
00:04:24.760 you have every single right to, and I encourage you to do so, run for Congress, get elected, stand up, raise your hand,
00:04:33.060 and be chosen as a representative of the people, and then rewrite the laws to your choosing.
00:04:37.480 Get those through Congress. Get them signed. We understand how this process works.
00:04:41.120 The way the process isn't supposed to work is that an unelected judge sitting on the Supreme Court
00:04:47.540 in a literal ivory tower decides what the law should be and then applies their decision based on their judicial philosophy, right,
00:04:57.640 in any of these cases. That's called judicial activism. That's called legislating from the bench,
00:05:04.340 and we don't need more of that. We need less of that. This is the difference between a conservative justice
00:05:11.440 and a progressive justice, because what she's trying to do here is apply critical theory to child 1.00
00:05:17.160 pornography cases. Well, if it's easier now in the 21st century to send and receive and distribute
00:05:24.080 child pornography using the internet, then therefore, because the ease of distribution is easier and more
00:05:30.260 streamlined, then the sentence should actually be lighter. Yeah, that logic doesn't make any sense.
00:05:35.980 You know what logic does make sense? That you're now able to abuse more children and that there are potentially
00:05:43.320 more victims of these heinous acts, these disgusting acts, than there were before because of the ease of
00:05:51.760 distribution that she just talked about it. She's not considering the victims in this, and I'm sorry, but I hear
00:05:58.840 these comments that she's making, and there's other comments where she says, look, I'm a mother, and I, you know, I
00:06:04.200 really think about these cases, and it's very hard. No, no. You are thinking about social reform, and you're
00:06:10.040 trying to be a social reformer from the bench, not your job, literally not your role. Your job is to apply
00:06:17.680 the law as it sees fit, and more importantly, you should be thinking in terms of the victims of these crimes.
00:06:23.980 Every single one of these videos, photos, images, whatever's out there, is an image of a child being abused
00:06:32.280 sexually or exploited. That's the person that we need to think about. So when these lighter sentences
00:06:39.660 come down, those people who were victimized now get to see that their victimizers are getting off
00:06:49.240 lighter. We aren't talking about that. We're talking about locking them up, putting them in jail where
00:06:55.240 they need to be, and anyone who commits these crimes or distributes this online, sets up websites that
00:07:01.620 facilitates it, should all get the exact same harsh sentence because these are some of the most
00:07:07.620 defenseless people in our entire society, and we should obviously go harsher on people who commit
00:07:14.440 crimes against them, not lighter. Are you sick of giving money to companies that hate you and hate your
00:07:22.540 family, hate your values, hate our values? I know that I am. So understand that we need to start
00:07:29.720 supporting businesses that believe in this country and believe in your right to live as free American

00:08:41.860 All right, we are now entering day 27 of Russia's war in Ukraine. The invasion continues. The fighting
00:08:51.500 continues. The people who are being shelled, the families are still caught in the middle between these 1.00
00:08:56.780 two warring sides. From the French Ministry of Defense, they put out their new report today. Not a lot has
00:09:03.440 changed yesterday on the ground, but we'll break down what they have. So you're still seeing strong
00:09:07.300 pressure on urban centers in the east and south, maintained by intense bombardments. Of course,
00:09:12.180 that is the Russian strategy. Mariupol, Mikolaev. Elsewhere, the situation tactically remains fixed.
00:09:17.640 Let's go to the northern front in Kiev. The encirclement maneuver from the east and west
00:09:21.400 was frozen overnight. The capital, of course, with a target of several bombardments. One area that was
00:09:26.660 shelled was this formerly, I guess, an abandoned shopping mall, which the Ukrainians were accusing them
00:09:32.640 of attacking it as a civilian target. But the Russians put out photos showing that Ukrainian
00:09:37.520 forces were actually using it as a center for their multiple rocket launcher systems and that
00:09:42.640 they were using it for military systems in that underground parking garage there. Next up on the
00:09:47.320 eastern front in Kharkov, the Russian forces continue to maneuver to encircle the city in parallel
00:09:52.440 with numerous shellings. Diperno, probable convergence point of Russian forces from the south and east.
00:09:58.440 Again, we've talked about the importance of Diperno and that city of Izyum. This is the place where
00:10:03.280 they attempt to make their envelopment of those Ukrainian forces what's called the Army of the
00:10:07.960 Donbass that are far in the east. Next up, Mariupol. Fighting is continuing in the city center.
00:10:14.920 Ukrainian forces have lost access to the Sea of Azov, but they refuse to capitulate. The health
00:10:21.040 situation for the inhabitants and the combatants continues to deteriorate. On the southern front,
00:10:25.940 we're seeing slow but steady advance of Russian forces towards the towns of Zaporozhytia and Krivyri.
00:10:32.220 Again, these are on the western bank of the Dnepr River. If they are able to take those, it will make 1.00
00:10:38.280 their overall goal, their overall strategy of separating Ukraine right down the middle, partitioning
00:10:44.080 it from east and west all that much easier because they will not then be able to reinforce those
00:10:50.080 positions to the east. And finally, Mikolaev, shelling and fighting are continuing as still intense
00:10:54.760 fighting continues for the control of the city and its surroundings. Folks, what we're seeing on the
00:11:00.380 ground in Ukraine, a lot of this is fixed. Now, we're seeing these reports, and I see this every
00:11:04.560 once in a while. People are saying, oh, there's these counterattacks. You have to look for this.
00:11:08.540 Look, we are looking for it. We're looking for the battle on the ground. But the bottom line is this.
00:11:13.300 The territory shifts only seem to take place in one direction. You see the Russian forces
00:11:18.540 aligned with separatists. You've also got the Chechen fighters that are there.
00:11:22.180 They continue to gain ground. We're also seeing, by the way, in that area of Donbass,
00:11:27.400 there are several breakouts in the areas of Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics.
00:11:34.000 If they are able to break out in those areas, to break through Ukrainian lines behind the Ukrainian 0.61
00:11:40.740 army of the Donbass, then that army will be cut off. They will not be able to resupply.
00:11:46.620 They will not be able to maneuver. They will not be able to break out. That means you're going to get
00:11:51.540 either, you're going to lead either to a surrender scenario or a complete annihilation
00:11:56.760 scenario because you will have something like, you know, and it ranges, I've seen on the low end,
00:12:02.500 15,000 troops. I've seen from the high end as many as potentially 25,000 groups in that war in the
00:12:08.660 Donbass. Plus, you also have an additional issue there because once that fighting ends, once that
00:12:14.620 development takes place, and if it does take place, then that means those combat forces on the Russian
00:12:20.820 side and the separatist side will be freed up to take part in further combat operations in other
00:12:27.660 parts of the country. So they'll be able to move that combat fighting capacity to other areas to
00:12:32.740 push for further encirclements and push for further territorial gains. One thing I look at, and guys,
00:12:38.040 you know, when I'm digging into this stuff, I'm up late every night. We're going on Telegram.
00:12:42.680 We're going on mainstream sources, anonymous Twitter, Blue Check Twitter. We are all over the place
00:12:50.520 crunching and synthesizing so much data for people to consume so much of this information before we
00:12:57.440 can get it to you and present it here. And of course, people know I do happen to have a little
00:13:01.600 bit of a comparative advantage for some of this because I live with someone who's from the region
00:13:06.420 and who is a direct linguist that can translate a lot of this stuff that's coming out in language.
00:13:11.780 My wife is a linguist from that area, so she's able to translate a lot of this stuff for me.
00:13:17.340 So when I see videos, when I see captions, subtitles, I say, hey, you know, does this make sense? Does
00:13:22.000 this translation work? No, not obviously for every single thing that breaks out, but for something that
00:13:26.840 is rising to the level of something that we want to translate, something that we want to report to all
00:13:31.360 of you, we are doing that work. I don't know of anybody else in media that's digging in that much on
00:13:36.100 this. We're also looking very closely at whether or not Belarus is going to get involved. Now,
00:13:40.320 I'd like to end this by playing a clip for you guys of Professor John Mearsheimer. Eight years ago,
00:13:45.660 Professor Mearsheimer was the man that predicted that the West was leading Ukraine down the primrose
00:13:52.200 path to a potential conflict with Russia. He directly called what was happening, and he explained
00:13:59.240 how that was the United States that kept urging Ukraine to poke the bear. Here's Professor Mearsheimer
00:14:05.580 responding to all of this today. And as you all know, if you take a stick and you poke a bear in
00:14:10.740 the eye, that bear is probably not going to smile and laugh at what you're doing. That bear is probably
00:14:16.360 going to fight back. And that's exactly what's happening here. And that bear is going to tear
00:14:21.220 apart Ukraine. That bear is in the process of tearing apart Ukraine. And again, we go back to where 1.00
00:14:26.720 we started. Who bears responsibility for this? Do the Russians bear responsibility for this? I don't think 0.99
00:14:33.640 so. There's no question the Russians are doing the dirty work. I don't want to make light of that 1.00
00:14:38.280 fact. But the question is, what caused the Russians to do this? And in my opinion, the answer is very 0.73
00:14:44.760 simple, the United States of America.
00:14:50.000 But the challenge posed by China is different. China is the only country with the economic,
00:14:57.180 diplomatic, military, and technological power to seriously challenge the stable and open
00:15:02.480 international system. All the rules, values, and relationships that make the world work the way
00:15:08.680 we want it to. Our relationship with China will be competitive when it should be, collaborative when
00:15:14.560 it can be, and adversarial when it must be. The common denominator is the need to engage China
00:15:21.240 from a position of strength. That requires working with allies and partners, not denigrating them,
00:15:28.460 because our combined weight is much harder for China to ignore. It requires engaging in diplomacy
00:15:34.320 and in international organizations, because where we've pulled back, China has filled in.
00:15:40.580 Well, there you hear Secretary of State Tony Blinken laying out new sanctions on CCP officials
00:15:46.920 over the treatment of Uyghurs, the treatment of ethnic minorities in China. Now, people are going to say,
00:15:55.380 Poso, this is something that you've been wanting for a long time, the sanctioning. They're going
00:15:59.540 directly after CCP officials. They're going directly after the people who actually, you know,
00:16:06.540 are underwriting this entire invasion of Ukraine. Isn't this the smart move? Isn't this the thing 0.79
00:16:11.060 that you should be doing? Allow me to explain how the Biden administration is completely botching
00:16:18.920 their response to this. What they've now done, because remember, this isn't happening in a vacuum.
00:16:24.780 They just went after the entire country of Russia, even Russian civilians, with sanctions on everything
00:16:32.300 they could possibly think of, getting every U.S. company, every Western company to drop operations
00:16:38.000 in Russia. Now, they're threatening India, right? India, who's a massive trading partner with the
00:16:44.340 United States, as well as a trading partner with Russia, threatening them with sanctions. You're also,
00:16:49.400 of course, seeing them target China at the same time with sanctions. This is not happening in a vacuum.
00:16:57.460 What we're now seeing is the United States lashing out at the entire world, and they're creating a
00:17:05.720 multi-pronged, multi-front war economically, diplomatically, and socially with the rest of the
00:17:13.220 world, right? This is like when you have a rabid, cornered animal that's just lashing out in every
00:17:19.440 direction. This is a very, very bad policy for the United States, because it seems completely reactive,
00:17:26.820 and it clearly is completely reactive. There's no plan here, right? They're just in response mode.
00:17:33.320 They have no strategy. They have no idea what they're doing, and what they are eventually going
00:17:37.720 to achieve, by the way, because they're not thinking, how many times do we have to say that?
00:17:42.680 They're not thinking beyond step one. They're not thinking about secondary effects, tertiary effects,
00:17:48.680 second order, third order, fourth order, etc. Four years from now, five years from now, what are they
00:17:53.560 doing? They're pushing Russia and China together, and mark my words, this will go down in history as being 0.89
00:18:02.400 one of the great geopolitical blunders of the late-stage American republic, because what they're
00:18:09.880 doing is forcing the rest of the world out of the Western-backed U.S. dollar system. The Saudis, 0.99
00:18:16.820 the Saudis are already making deals with China. They're saying, look, we're done with the U.S. dollar.
00:18:21.440 We're going into the yuan. That petrodollar stuff, don't even worry about that. We're going to make
00:18:26.700 deals with the yuan. And then China is turning around and saying, all right, yeah, sure, we'll do that.
00:18:31.040 No problem. We'll take your money. We're more than happy to. That means the Saudis are going to be 1.00
00:18:36.620 loading up on Chinese currency. Russia and India are already doing deals in currency swaps outside
00:18:44.300 of the U.S. dollar, the rubles and rubies, all right? Understand, they're leaving the United States
00:18:51.600 economically behind. This sets up a situation where, as President Biden called it, you might see a new
00:18:59.120 world order. Yeah, you're going to see an alternative world order, a world order that doesn't have the
00:19:05.840 United States as the backstop and doesn't have the U.S. dollar being strong. And once you lose
00:19:10.660 that U.S. dollar, once you lose that as the world reserve currency, now suddenly you're going to
00:19:17.320 devalue the dollar. You think you have inflation now? Wait until your entire bank account is worthless.
00:19:24.020 And look, I talk about this stuff because it directly affects us. Why did the gas prices all
00:19:30.820 go crazy here in the United States when we put sanctions on the other side of the world? Because
00:19:36.480 it's all tied together thanks to economic globalism. This is something that we've been talking about
00:19:42.660 for years to try to get rid of, to try to bring home our own supply chains, to be able to be
00:19:48.700 self-sufficient. And yet we haven't done that. So we are now at the mercy of the globalized system
00:19:53.800 that we've created.
00:19:54.560 Even before the conflict, developing countries were struggling to recover from the pandemic
00:20:02.640 with record inflation, rising interest rates and looming debt burdens. Their ability to respond
00:20:10.500 has been erased by exponential increases in the cost of financing. Now their bread basket is being
00:20:18.320 bombed. Russia and Ukraine represent more than half of the world's supply of sunflower oil and about 30%
00:20:26.000 of the world's wheat. Ukraine alone provides more than half of the world's food programs with supply.
00:20:34.240 Food, fuel and fertilizer prices are skyrocketing. Supply chains are being disrupted and the costs and delays of
00:20:47.040 transportation of imported goods when available are at record levels. And all of this is eating the poorest,
00:20:55.200 the hardest, and planting the seeds for political instability and unrest around the globe.
00:21:01.360 So that's the UN Secretary General. Of course, we know Ukraine, Russia, this is the bread basket of Europe.
00:21:07.360 But what's happening to the bread basket of the Midwest here in the United States? Zero Hedge has the article
00:21:13.040 authored by Michael Snyder from TheMostImportantNews.com. Food prices in the United States are already
00:21:18.000 soaring. And now we're on track for an absolutely horrible winter wheat harvest. Severe drought and
00:21:24.800 dust bowl conditions threaten disastrous winter wheat harvest in the U.S. Of course, this comes at a time
00:21:30.320 when the war on the other side of the globe is growing to greatly reduce wheat exports from Russia and
00:21:34.640 Ukraine. Over the last 12 months, the price of wheat has already risen 69%. And now this crisis threatens to
00:21:41.600 go to an entirely new level. In all our years of writing, we've never seen anything like this and
00:21:46.560 deeply concerned about the months coming ahead. So keep in mind that this is the planting season for
00:21:52.560 winter wheat. You've got to plant it, then it goes throughout, or excuse me, you might see what's
00:21:56.400 called a winter kill, right? I actually had somebody explain this to me the other day, look,
00:22:00.880 you know, not an agriculture expert. So when I have issues with this, go to the ag guys. I say,
00:22:04.880 what's going on? You know, what are we talking about? Why does this affect this now? Well,
00:22:08.320 they say the winter, uh, the seeds are planted prior to winter. Then they, they winter out.
00:22:14.960 Um, they're buried underground and then eventually you start to get the, um, the harvest and you start
00:22:19.680 to get, obviously the wheat grows throughout the summer. But if you have a harsh winter followed by
00:22:24.400 a drought, you might get what's called a winter kill. What does this mean for you? Food shortages,
00:22:30.800 food prices going up. Understand for you, for your family. Look, we just spent the last segment
00:22:37.120 talking about the threats to the U S currency. Now we're talking about the food supply, the same
00:22:43.120 food supply. And not only so the break you got, they're attacking the bread basket of Europe,
00:22:46.960 right? So don't expect any wheat out of Ukraine or Russia this year. Uh, that's number one. Number
00:22:51.600 two, now the crop here in the United States is under threat because of these conditions, right?
00:22:57.520 You are going to lead to food shortages. You're going to lead to massive issues with this. Now,
00:23:03.280 look, if you're someone out there who says, look, I, you know, I don't eat wheat. I go keto.
00:23:07.280 I do all this stuff. Understand that you're now going to see pressures though on meat. You're going
00:23:12.160 to see pressures on everything else because these food supply prices and these crisis issues are going
00:23:17.440 to have a ripple effect throughout the entire food economy. This is a very bad situation. We are
00:23:23.600 hurtling towards, we are hurtling towards food shortages here in the United States. We think
00:23:29.280 we're putting sanctions on the rest of the world, but we're not even paying attention to what's going
00:23:34.240 on within our own borders. And that is it for us today here, human events daily. Remember our
00:23:41.920 promise are with our solemn vow to you be good, be brief, be gone. And of course your homework for us,
00:23:46.800 share this out with one of your normal friends, and then leave us your five-star review. Seriously,
00:23:50.160 it really helps us when you leave us those reviews. Today, what did we talk about? We got
00:23:53.600 into Judge Jackson, her leniency on these child porn cases. We did the war in Ukraine day 27 update,
00:24:00.560 the US sanctioning CCP officials after demanding Beijing condemn Russia. They refused to do so.
00:24:06.160 And then finally, we talked about the soaring wheat prices and the drought conditions here this winter,
00:24:12.320 what effect that will have for you, what effect that'll have on your family. Before we go,
00:24:16.480 of course, as always, it's time for today's history break. Can you believe it's been three years,
00:24:23.520 it was three years ago today, that special counsel Robert Mueller delivered his final conclusions
00:24:32.880 in the Russiagate case showing there was no collusion between President Trump and the state of Russia.
00:24:40.000 It's been three years, and yet people still won't accept it. Ladies and gentlemen, as always,
00:24:45.840 you have my permission to lay ashore.
