00:01:11.340Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning Point USA.
00:01:18.780Today's top stories. First, a ground update as the war in Ukraine enters day 28.
00:01:25.120Next, Judge Jackson's confirmation hearing day three.
00:01:28.660Looks like she's stumbling a little bit out of the gate as the conservatives are putting up a strong counter response to her third.
00:01:36.300Finally, a shade war update. I know you guys have been looking for this.
00:01:39.260We've finally got another one for you between Vice President Harris and President Biden.
00:01:43.040And finally, Project Veritas says that the DOJ has secretly been spying on their emails and communications.
00:01:49.800We're going to break it all down. All this and we're ahead. Human Events Daily.
00:01:52.480I'll even blame people like Lindsey Graham, who is begging for war every single night on the television.
00:02:09.760These are the people that gave the Ukrainian people the false hope.
00:02:13.340And now you see Ukraine just kept poking the bear and poking the bear, which is Russia and Russia invaded.
00:02:21.380And the truth is, and this is the hard truth to accept, there is no win for Ukraine here.
00:02:28.820Russia is being very successful in their invasion, even though we hear different things on television.
00:02:34.340They the things that we see and we know that are actually happening there doesn't I don't see a way out for Ukraine.
00:02:40.980All right. And that's Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene offering her take of quite a heterodox take on the entire position.
00:02:48.620So let's break down now. Of course, we're going back to the French Ministry of Defense and their latest update, their their latest briefing on what's happening on the ground.
00:02:57.580First, strong pressure on the urban centers of the east and south of Ukraine is being maintained by intense shelling, in particular, the cities of Maripol and Mikolaev.
00:03:07.720I've also seen assessments out there that as much as 70 percent of Maripol has now fallen to Russia, has now become part of Russia-controlled territory.
00:03:17.440Next, the elsewhere, the tactical situation does remain fixed on the northern front in Kiev.
00:03:22.800The encirclement maneuver from the west and east has essentially been frozen, has they have not acquired.
00:03:28.220But we're now seeing flooding of the European River from a dam that was blown up early on.
00:03:33.400This is now blocking the Russian advance. But also that flooding, of course, is going into these civilian areas.
00:03:38.540So the whole battlefield potentially that you could have seen the two sides fighting through has now been flooded.
00:03:44.940And of course, you've got people there. You've got armed forces there.
00:03:47.600Now everybody has to deal with this flooding situation because the dam was blown up very early on, the early days of this campaign.
00:03:54.740On the eastern front in Kharkiv, the Russian forces continue to maneuver to encircle the city in parallel with numerous shelling in that central city of Diperno, the center city of the entire Dineper River.
00:04:06.140The city remains a likely focal point for Russian forces from the south and east.
00:04:10.480Remember, we've talked about the importance if they can get the city of Diperno that will enable them to essentially control the Dineper River from the north to the south.
00:04:20.180Now, down in Mariupol again, the rejection of the Russian ultimatum.
00:04:24.240So Russia had said they put out this ultimatum.
00:04:26.620They said, surrender the city, surrender, lay down your arms and the fighting will stop.
00:04:31.840We will stop the advance that was rejected by the Ukrainian side.
00:04:35.300So what does this mean? The start of an urban offensive.
00:04:38.900And the French Ministry of Defense says in their assessment, Ukrainian forces will not be able to escape because they do not have an evacuation corridor.
00:04:47.580Also, there's no way for Kiev to be able to cut through the Russian lines to be able to resupply them or bring reinforcements to the defenders of Mariupol.
00:04:56.700On the southern front, the southern front, we've seen advances a little bit between the cities of Zapržitia, which is 90 kilometers south of Diperno, and Kriviri, 140 kilometers southwest of Diperno.
00:05:08.820Keep in mind, those cities, that's on the western bank of the Dineper River, again, explaining the importance of the Dineper.
00:05:15.260And then finally, in the city of Mykolaiv, shelling and fighting are still intense for control of the city and its surroundings.
00:05:21.380Now, yesterday on the show, we played a clip of Professor John Mearsheimer, and he said something very similar to what Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said in the clip that we played today.
00:05:33.140And so we got some comments in some people saying, that's fantastic. Thank you so much.
00:05:37.720Got a comment from a guy who served with the IC, said, thank you so much for playing Mearsheimer, but also got some comments from people saying, wait, I don't understand what Mearsheimer is saying.
00:05:45.500How can he say that America provoked this? Didn't Russia invade Ukraine?
00:05:51.480Well, it's one of those situations where it depends on where you start the story.
00:05:55.140Are you starting the story in Chapter 15, or are you going all the way back to Chapter 1?
00:06:03.860So there is a massive prologue that goes back for years and years up to this.
00:06:09.060But let me explain it with an analogy.
00:06:11.620And analogies are never perfect, but let me try to explain it because they can become, they can help us to view things in a different position.
00:06:18.160Let's say the country of Mexico had a revolution.
00:06:22.900Certainly we could see that, it wouldn't be hard to see.
00:06:25.540And let's say that revolution was backed by the CCP.
00:06:28.260And then the CCP installed their own regime in the government of Mexico, right there in Mexico City.
00:06:35.940And then that same regime was arming up, was talking about positioning Chinese missiles and talking about even positioning Chinese forces in Mexico right on the border with the United States of America.
00:06:49.300Now, I'm not saying that's exactly a one-to-one analogy or a one-to-one metaphor for what's going on in Ukraine and Russia right now.
00:07:02.680But that's how the Kremlin looks at it, that's how the Russians look at it, and that's what Mearsheimer is trying to explain.
00:07:10.700We need to look at the way we are viewed and the way our actions in Ukraine have been viewed by the Kremlin as highly provocatory.
00:07:20.040And in their instance, they view it as a threat.
00:08:09.720Their signature product is called the MyFac Pro, and this is not your typical box of bandages.
00:08:14.700It is a first aid kit that comes with over 100 quality first aid and trauma supplies, including a tourniquet, chest seals, quick clot, and more.
00:08:24.700With this kit from MyMedic, you will become more prepared to treat everything from basic cuts all the way up to a gunshot wound.
00:08:33.760MyMedic is built in the U.S., and it is guaranteed for life.
00:08:36.880You don't want to go out in today's world without one.
00:08:40.980You go to MyMedic.com, and you will get 15% off the MyFac Pro plus a life-saving online course, an actual training course absolutely free with promo code POSO.
00:09:30.300So those are the words of Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson in this contentious hearing, which I really have to hand it to the conservatives in this, because it seemed like this was on autopilot, this entire nomination, up until the point where Senator Josh Hawley started actually doing the work of looking at her record.
00:09:52.840When it came to these cases involving child pornography distributors and possessors, these traffickers in child porn.
00:10:02.180And when he started picking away at, and keep in mind, it's certainly about these specific individuals, but it's actually about something quite larger than this.
00:10:12.880Because we're talking about someone here who's going to get a lifetime appointment to the highest court in our land, the highest court in our country.
00:10:21.600Someone who potentially could set the tone for years to come for the United States.
00:10:28.040And we've seen, by the way, and I was on Tim Pool last night, we talked about this with Emily Jashinsky from The Federalist, and she's done fantastic work on all of the KBJ hearing, actually interviewed Marsha Blackburn before Marsha Blackburn got up and had that just incredible exchange about, you know, can you define what a woman is?
00:10:55.840But we're starting to peel back the layers of her record and understand who she is as a person, but more importantly, what animates her judicial philosophy and get a view into how she could potentially rule on so many of these pressing social issues.
00:11:17.840See, some people still believe that the Constitution is how we run things and how our government works, but other people kind of notice that the people that seem to have the most power are the President of the United States, the Supreme Court, and unelected bureaucrats like Dr. Fauci, who basically ran the country by edict for almost two full years, because this is what's happened in the U.S.
00:11:40.980Congress has basically abrogated their policy and their power to these institutions.
00:11:49.980And this is a very Wilsonian formulation.
00:11:51.560This was something that President Woodrow Wilson talks about very clearly.
00:11:54.500He called it the organic state or the permanent state, administrative state, whatever you want to call it, right?
00:11:59.820And it's this sort of amalgamation of the bureaucracy and academia working together to take the sovereignty of the government, but really making decisions outside of the electoral representative process, and then having the President and Congress just kind of rubber stamp whatever they want.
00:12:20.260This is also where you get the power of the national security state, and you can see, by the way, how so many of these academic institutions are tied directly in with our national security state and these national security agencies.
00:12:32.120On the flip side, you see the exact same thing with the judiciary branch, right?
00:12:36.580So you can see people moving back and forth between having a judgeship or serving as a professor.
00:12:42.320They go back and forth, and there's no representative touchpoint.
00:12:47.380And so you can get somebody who comes up through this far-left judicial activist, woke, CRT, anti-energy, pro-criminal justice reform, soft-on child pornography traffickers.
00:13:04.460And it all makes sense because inside that bubble, inside that echo chamber, inside that ivory tower of the academy, all of those things are promoted.
00:13:14.580But suddenly, when you're faced with sort of the normal part of America, and you're asked these basic questions about why did you only give this pedophile three months in jail?
00:13:28.000Why can't you tell me what you believe when it comes to the conception of life?
00:13:36.840Some of these basic, normal questions.
00:13:39.680And then we get, on the outside of this, this incredible list of far-left, some of the furthest-left groups and richest groups, well-funded groups in America, are promoting her nomination.
00:13:52.440Groups like Demand Justice, Arabella Advisors.
00:13:55.700By the way, that Demand Justice, they're the same people who are trying to fight to pack the court.
00:14:00.240These massive, progressive, dark money groups, the Open Society Center, funded, of course, by our favorite Hungarian billionaire.
00:14:08.840There's other groups, American Atheists, the Human Rights Council, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, National Education Association, and, of course, the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:14:18.280These are some of the furthest-left groups in America that are backing her.
00:15:01.140Guys, I don't need to tell you about the fragile state of the U.S. dollar in our world today and what it means for you.
00:15:09.760We told you we're in for a tough year and we're already into it.
00:15:13.500We've seen the printing, the spending of the Fed, Biden, the catastrophes on the horizon for the U.S. dollar, the petrodollar, the markets.
00:15:21.620Now, we patriots know that Bidenflation is the real pandemic and it is about to get worse.
00:15:28.320If you understand that the U.S. dollar is being threatened as the world reserve currency, you need to diversify with gold and silver now.
00:15:37.260And the only company that I recommend is Allegiance Gold.
00:15:40.320My friends at Allegiance Gold can help you protect your IRA or 401k with physical gold or silver and have it delivered securely right to your door.
00:15:50.080They will educate you on the benefits of physical gold because they care and want to build a long-term relationship.
00:15:56.360Allegiance Gold has the highest rating from third-party consumer protection agencies.
00:16:39.800We have finally for you at long last, backed by popular demand, a Shade War update.
00:16:48.740The governor and I, and we were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time, right?
00:17:04.100The significance of the passage of time.
00:17:06.280So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs.
00:17:17.100And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.
00:17:24.800So this is all coming out via excerpts of a new book by two New York Times reporters.
00:17:31.920And this is amazing because I remember when we first started doing on Human Events Daily the Shade War updates and people said, you know, Poso doesn't have a source in the White House.
00:17:40.820He's not talking to people who understand what's going on in the vice president's office and the president's office, the, you know, these these crazy witch hunts that are going on by Ron Klain, the chief of staff, the battle between Ron Klain and Tina Flourney, who is the vice president's chief of staff.
00:17:58.580You know, Poso doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:18:00.580He's probably just gisting all of this.
00:18:07.020Now we've got a book by New York Times reporters that's all about the shade war between President Biden and Vice President Harris.
00:18:16.660I know I know that Human Events Daily will never get the credit that it deserves.
00:18:21.880But you, dear listener and dear viewer, are far ahead of the curve and you're used to being ahead of the curve because you're smart.
00:18:29.780You listen to Human Events Daily and then you sit there and then a week or two later when all your normie friends are like, hey, how did you know about all that stuff?
00:18:37.020You say, well, listen to Human Events Daily.
00:18:56.300Some of Harris's advisers believed the president was almost and almost entirely his his entirely white inner circle did not show the vice president the respect that she deserved.
00:19:12.180According to Martin and Burns, Harris was worried that Biden staff looked down on her.
00:19:18.240She fixated on real and perceived snubs in ways that the West Wing found tedious.
00:19:26.760Remember, that's Harris's chief of staff out to scold Biden staffers for not standing up when she entered the room the way they did for the president.
00:19:36.640The vice president took it as a sign of disrespect.
00:19:40.640According to the book, Flournoy reached out to Biden adviser Anita Dunn.
00:19:46.240Also early on in the administration, Harris's staff floated the possibility of the vice president overseeing relations with the Nordic countries, a low risk diplomatic assignment that may have helped Harris get adjusted to the international stage in welcoming venues like Oslo and Copenhagen.
00:20:04.020White House and aides rejected the idea and privately mocked it.
00:20:09.440More irritating to the Biden aides was when they learned the vice president wanted to plan a major speech to outline her view of foreign policy.
00:20:22.060Biden then tasked Harris with handling immigration, as we know, the root causes in the Northern Triangle countries of Latin America.
00:20:28.900Yet Harris was displeased, noting that Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala had been in Biden's portfolio when he was vice president under President Obama.
00:20:39.180Given outcries over a surge in migration, Harris's aides saw the assignment as politically undesirable.
00:20:44.900Harris then led a campaign publicly emphasizing that she was assigned to root causes, not the border itself.
00:20:53.240All right. Stuff that we were reporting in real time is exactly verbatim, word for word, now coming out in a new book by New York Times reporters.
00:21:03.920So my question is, do you guys actually have sources in the White House or are you just listening to human events daily and cribbing off of the stuff that we reported months and months ago?
00:21:16.080Because I got to tell you guys, it sounds like you're doing just a little bit, a little bit of copy and paste from Poso and the team here at Human Events Daily.
00:21:31.820Project Veritas has just obtained documents showing the SDNY was spying on Project Veritas journalists well before the FBI raided the homes of our journalists last November,
00:21:43.640secretly reading our emails, concealing that from the court in our case against the SDNY.
00:21:50.160Some more disturbing information coming out about the Department of Justice, particularly the Southern District of New York and their persecution.
00:21:58.900That's what this clearly is, a persecution of Project Veritas, a journalistic organization going after them.
00:22:06.680Now, they were tipped off, basically, about this information where they were being spied on for months electronically in ways they didn't even know about.
00:22:19.240They weren't even informed of any of this stuff.
00:22:21.580Apparently, and according to O'Keefe, they misled the judge in all of this.
00:22:26.180So let me back up a second and explain what's going on here.
00:22:28.320All of these documents now that are coming out that O'Keefe obviously knew about is private communications, private messages, private emails, internal to his organization.
00:22:38.480This was all being spied on by the Department of Justice.
00:22:42.000And they were doing it behind the back of a judge that had ordered them not to do this because they were going after his lawyer.
00:22:51.360They were going after privileged documents.
00:22:53.460And you even now got groups like the ACLU coming out and saying, you know, of course, they have to play that game where they say, look, we don't like Gaines O'Keefe.
00:23:00.660He's conservative and bad and blah, blah, blah.
00:23:04.220But the ACLU also pointed out that the precedent that is being set now by using Project Veritas as an example, going after them in a way that destroys our First Amendment protections here in the United States for freedom of the press is shocking.
00:23:26.420And it sets a precedent that could be used against anyone.
00:23:56.160Should the government go after you for something like that?
00:23:58.360There was also a report out of Ukraine that a TikToker was just arrested after posting a position of a military emplacement at a shopping mall.
00:24:08.700And then the shopping mall, it turns out it was abandoned shopping mall, but it was then destroyed by Russian missiles.
00:24:15.060So the TikToker got arrested because of that.
00:24:17.600The precedent that's being set now is that the government can do whatever they want.
00:24:22.180And obviously, I'm talking about separate countries, but understand the larger picture here.
00:24:26.880We've been talking before about this, that we are entering an era, we're actually in the era of regime politics.
00:24:43.400This isn't your grandfather's republic, the constitutional republic we thought we believed in, we thought that we lived in, we thought that we had, that had been constructed for us.
00:24:56.440You live in an area where the government can do what they want and they will do what they will unless the people push back and call for it to stop.
00:25:09.260Hey, so that's all the time we have for today, Human Events Daily.
00:25:30.540Next, we got into the stumbling of Judge Jackson in this confirmation hearing and we talked about the shady far left organizations that are backing her.
00:25:39.780We talked about the vindication of our shade war update reporting.
00:25:43.620And finally, we got into the authoritarian spying on Project Veritas from the Department of Justice.
00:25:49.840But before we go, it's time for today's history break.
