This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.820
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.500
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:51.000
It doesn't matter whether you're black or brown or white or whatever the hell color you are.
00:00:58.080
We are all Americans, and we're going to pull together as Americans.
00:01:03.820
And I am looking forward to the response of everyday Bronxites.
00:01:19.600
And so he's decided to come to the South Bronx.
00:01:25.000
And, you know, bussing people in in order to get those donations so that he can funnel
00:01:30.060
them to his legal fees is kind of his business right now.
00:01:35.440
I'm originally from the Bronx and from New York.
00:01:48.940
I will say this rally did look a lot like America.
00:01:53.320
There were a lot of Hispanic voters, a lot of black voters there, which is not typical
00:01:57.360
for a Trump rally that I go to when I'm in Wisconsin or Michigan.
00:02:03.700
I'm here to watch the Trump gathering rally here.
00:02:11.200
I know presidents have came to the Bronx before, but we're talking about Woodlawn, Riverdale.
00:02:22.360
Well, certainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given
00:02:25.460
this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country.
00:02:29.040
I'll tell you it won't make a difference at all, Jake, and that is for Donald Trump to
00:02:33.000
be the ringleader and invite all his clowns to a place like the Bronx.
00:02:38.000
New York will never, ever support Donald Trump for president.
00:02:48.300
I think that Trump is going to make America great again.
00:02:52.620
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:03:04.920
What we saw yesterday in the Bronx was a historic move, not only for the MAGA movement, the Trump
00:03:13.620
campaign, but also for, and most importantly, for the United States of America.
00:03:19.280
This was the first time that President Trump held a speech like this.
00:03:24.360
I went all the way back to the archives, folks.
00:03:26.300
This is the first time he has held a speech like this within the confines of New York City
00:03:40.140
Technically, it was November 9th, 2016, because it was about three in the morning when he walked
00:03:45.520
past me on the side of the street as he made his way into the building lined by rows of firefighters
00:03:51.840
and police officers, and I got to say, congratulations, Mr. President, 2016.
00:03:57.960
The 2016 energy is back, and it's bigger than ever.
00:04:07.520
People are arguing, was it 3,000, 30,000, 10,000, 50,000?
00:04:10.400
Look, thousands of people in areas that he's not supposed to put crowds together.
00:04:17.000
He's not supposed to have crowds and rallies in New York City.
00:04:19.960
He's not supposed to go to blue areas like New Jersey.
00:04:22.780
He's not supposed to go to blue states like Minnesota and be able to put all this together,
00:04:29.560
That's the same way they told him, don't go to Michigan.
00:04:33.640
What are you even doing up there all the way back in 2016?
00:04:44.700
No other Republican would do this, but I would say something else.
00:04:46.980
There is a spiritual and a cultural tie between Donald Trump, New York City, and the MAGA
00:04:55.000
The way that New York was restored in the 1990s, thanks to Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump,
00:05:02.460
is emblematic of how Donald Trump, who still works with Rudy Giuliani, by the way, are going
00:05:09.720
Tell me Giuliani don't know how to fix law and order.
00:05:11.960
Tell me Rudy Giuliani, of all the people out there, don't know how to fix the problems
00:05:24.760
And when we win, there will be statues of Rudy Giuliani that go up in New York City the
00:05:31.160
same way that there will be statues of Donald Trump right out front of Trump Tower.
00:05:36.600
But before then, folks, we have to understand that New York City is a symbol of our nation.
00:05:45.700
It is the capital of the world's finance, the capital of the world's culture, the capital
00:05:56.160
And currently, it's in a state of decrepitude the same way that our nation and our president
00:06:04.960
And what can we do, folks, than restore it greater than it ever was before?

The world is in flames and Bidenomics is a complete and total disaster, but that will
00:07:04.720
That's because I start my day with a hot America first cup of blackout coffee.

00:07:46.000
We've got to bring on now the man of the hour, Gavin Wax, played a huge role in getting
00:07:53.880
Look, Gavin, the president said and you and I were in and I play the video on the show
00:08:00.640
We were at the New York Young Republican Gala all the way back December of last year
00:08:05.800
and you and the president were discussing having a rally.
00:08:13.060
We were talking about doing the micro rallies and those started popping up around town.
00:08:17.840
Walk me through the series of events that went from that conversation at the at the at the
00:08:29.420
Back in December at the 111th annual gala, we the honor of hosting President Donald J.
00:08:36.960
We were talking a bit talking about New York in particular, the primary, the general election.
00:08:41.840
Obviously, New York is very near and dear to the president.
00:08:44.320
He has a lot of love for his hometown and wants to see it thrive once more like all New Yorkers
00:08:50.760
And I mentioned to him a recent video that Newsmax had published from Cara Castronova where
00:08:57.100
she was doing some man on the street videos in the South Bronx.
00:08:59.800
And I said, listen, you know, Mr. President, you know, no other, you know, Republican or
00:09:04.420
Democrat president has successfully had a had a successful visit to the South Bronx.
00:09:11.960
But I think there's a lot of groundswell support there.
00:09:14.320
You really should consider potentially visiting.
00:09:16.840
And shortly thereafter, in January, we began speaking with the Trump team, scouting locations.
00:09:21.780
This turned originally from a smaller retail style event.
00:09:31.200
It went from more of a meet and greet roundtable to a full rally.
00:09:34.940
We ended up looking into a bunch of different parks in the South Bronx, and we found the largest
00:09:38.800
park we could, Crotona Park, which is south of Fordham Road.
00:09:44.160
And we connected them with Joe Borelli, who did the paperwork to get the permit for that
00:09:50.700
And obviously, the city of New York was going to make it very difficult to get a permit for
00:09:55.000
enough people, which will come up probably later in the show.
00:09:57.700
We discussed the crowd size, but came together.
00:10:03.880
This past week, we printed almost 6,000 to 7,000 flyers, double-sided, bilingual in English
00:10:09.920
and Spanish, promoting the event, working with our friends in the Bodega Association and
00:10:13.940
the Hispanic National Supermarket Association to distribute them through their routes.
00:10:18.280
And then we booked a bunch of electronic billboards at key intersections across the South Bronx
00:10:23.200
that had the advertisement for the rally up all day, multiple days, almost 72 hours in
00:10:30.000
So we really pushed this thing hard, brought in about 65 volunteers.
00:10:34.240
We had voter registration tables set up throughout.
00:10:36.840
We set up the entire, you know, set up there right in the park.
00:10:41.040
And listen, you know, a lot of people were hoping for this to fail, not just Democrats,
00:10:46.540
And listen, when it was raining in the morning, many people thought maybe this would be a dud.
00:10:59.340
The NYPD estimated eight times that amount showed up.
00:11:03.480
Unfortunately, we weren't able to get as many people in as we would have liked.
00:11:06.540
But this was a historic and resounding success nonetheless.
00:11:12.480
You know, I was up last night looking around all of Twitter and couldn't find any aerial
00:11:18.920
And it was really strange that none of the news stations, the local news outlets in New
00:11:33.920
But that was a huge kind of like red flag for me was, wait a minute, where are the aerial
00:11:44.420
There's this like this dueling argument over shots who's, you know, was one shot done early,
00:11:54.760
What's the actual truth from what you've been able to put together as one of the event organizers
00:11:59.820
and someone who's fully upsourced in New York regarding crowd size?
00:12:04.620
Plus, tell me about the people that you just mentioned who were held back outside.
00:12:12.160
One, security was controlled by Secret Service.
00:12:15.600
It's like it's like TSA going on an airport and they were processing people as fast as they
00:12:21.680
There weren't enough mags because probably because this is always a constant fight between
00:12:30.860
So this is always an issue, not to mention the city of New York.
00:12:34.040
The same thing happened to us at a Turning Point event last summer.
00:12:41.560
Charlie actually went outside and because everyone's like in West Palm standing outside in like
00:12:47.560
90 degree massive or 100 degree massive humidity.
00:12:52.840
So I'm like I'm like up on a stage with my kid and we're doing like we're just like making
00:12:57.100
up stuff to try to entertain the crowd because they're stuck for these mags.
00:13:00.200
And Charlie Kirk went out handing water bottles and shook every single person's hand waiting
00:13:12.960
So we were able to bring in about six thousand bottles of water.
00:13:36.160
Even in the photos that they're showing, they're already in those photos close to five
00:13:40.600
What they're not showing was that there were more people outside of the Secret Service,
00:13:44.940
you know, clean area outside of the mags than there were inside.
00:13:48.340
The line went back a mile well into the neighborhood.
00:13:52.580
They had to cut the line off because too many people were coming and they couldn't process
00:14:01.280
The president kept the president talked way longer than he was scheduled to speak.
00:14:05.180
And what you saw happening the second all these people were getting through the mags,
00:14:08.880
they were sprinting up the hill, running towards the the circular area where President
00:14:15.640
And of course, these these photos from above, they're not panned out enough to show that
00:14:19.880
there is a larger sea of red a little bit further back.
00:14:27.380
And then there's a mile long line of people all in MAGA hats completely took over the area.
00:14:33.920
They were they we outnumbered the protesters like 50 to one.
00:14:37.040
And they weren't even like pro Biden protesters.
00:14:39.920
They like rented the Palestinian crowd who came up and were just as anti Biden as they were
00:14:45.120
They weren't able to put on a protest in any of the days leading up to the rally.
00:14:48.120
And anyone talking about these people not being from the Bronx, I know there was a lot
00:14:52.200
of people online right now claiming that this was not a Bronx crowd.
00:15:04.620
The best way to get to this place is through the subway.
00:15:07.220
And the vast majority of people there, if they weren't coming through the subway, they
00:15:11.400
And we had people distributing lit in the hours leading up to the event.
00:15:15.060
And if you look at the crowd, if you saw the crowd, it was very bilingual.
00:15:21.960
Were there people that were not from the Bronx?
00:15:29.520
But this was through and through a Bronx crowd by and large.
00:15:39.560
It was a lot of people that were maybe on the fence that were nearby that heard about
00:15:43.760
it, that got one of our flyers that said, come by.
00:15:46.180
They walked into the park and they gravitated towards the president and they respected him
00:15:50.780
Even if they may not agree with him on everything, they at least respect him for showing up,
00:15:54.680
sticking to his guns, sticking to his principles and speaking to the South Bronx.
00:15:58.400
So by every metric size of the crowd, who the crowd was composed of, the message delivered
00:16:03.780
at this historic crowd, this was a success and the haters could only continue to push
00:16:12.440
I'm sure you've seen a little bit of just people absolutely Anderson Cooper losing the
00:16:16.380
minds that Trump was able to do this in a state and a district that are supposed to
00:16:26.060
You see these guys, they were going through all these different stages of grief because
00:16:31.680
You know, the visuals were right in front of them.
00:16:33.580
So that's why they've shifted more towards crowd size, which was kind of out of our control
00:16:40.900
But rather than talking about where these people were from and listen, I think you see
00:16:44.840
the response from AOC and all these other Democrat left wing hacks that have been running
00:16:48.980
the Bronx into the grounds for generations, for decades.
00:16:55.880
They always win their elections and they do nothing to, you know, further their own constituents's
00:17:02.720
And all of a sudden, the big guy comes to town and they're losing their minds.
00:17:07.480
So you have AOC praying for rain in the morning.
00:17:10.360
You have Richie Torres and all these guys trying to shut down the subways.
00:17:14.420
They're showing their hand, Jack, because it's if the narrative is he has no support in the
00:17:18.180
Bronx and he's going to embarrass himself with a small crowd, then why are you trying to
00:17:22.920
Just let the event go on and let's see how small his support is.
00:17:25.480
But they knew they knew that he was going to get a massive outpouring of support from
00:17:32.300
That's why they threw this pathetic town hall and had 12 people sleeping during it when
00:17:37.840
That's why Richie Torres did a little press conference with 30 people.
00:17:41.100
That's why they were desperate to get a rally together.
00:17:43.140
They had to fall back on the unions and even the unions couldn't deliver them, the people
00:17:47.840
So they got absolutely in New York City by Trump himself.
00:17:51.840
Just we got we've got a quick break coming up, but I'm I'm saying are you saying that
00:17:56.060
the unions are having trouble delivering people?
00:18:02.900
I'm saying we have a similar situation in Philly.
00:18:05.920
Urban politics, urban politics, politics, machine better turning out ballots.
00:18:17.960
We're going to get to the bottom of this mystery here.
00:18:21.840
Up in the hood, I rolled with bloods and them boys had a saying.
00:18:28.620
You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trim out his outlet's a bam ship, nippy
00:18:38.420
Jack Posobiec back live, Human Events Daily, folks, for 10 years.
00:18:43.580
Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:18:47.720
And when I say only, trust me, I mean they are the only one.
00:18:49.920
Glenn and the team over there have been great supporters of this show, which is why I am
00:18:55.600
Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide coverage, giving you the ability to access all
00:18:59.920
three major networks, which means you get the same coverage you've been accustomed to
00:19:05.120
When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending the message that you support free speech,
00:19:09.120
religious freedom, the sanctity of life, Second Amendment, and our military veteran and
00:19:13.460
Their 100% U.S.-based customer service team makes switching easy.
00:19:20.060
Their team will help you find the best plan for your needs.
00:19:33.760
Gavin Wax, I want you, you fact check me on this because you do better than I.
00:19:38.880
Um, it, as far as I can tell, President Trump has not given a public speech like this in
00:19:47.600
since the night of November 8th, 2016, his victory speech, which, you know, arguably wasn't
00:19:53.760
really public, but a, a large, you know, rally like speech like this, it within the confines
00:19:58.900
of New York city since the night that he won the election.
00:20:06.460
The connection between New York and MAGA and 2016, New York, what is the difference between
00:20:14.820
Why does it feel like so much is coming back together that has led to this Bronx rally taking
00:20:19.880
on, you know, it's, it's, it's also, it's about the people there, but it's also about
00:20:27.020
Yeah, no, a lot of great points and questions there.
00:20:31.400
I don't know of a, of a general election rally that he's done in New York city, certainly
00:20:35.660
in the last eight years, he may have done something during the primary on Staten Island.
00:20:41.300
He's done his announcement and his victory, uh, you know, speech.
00:20:45.120
I don't know if those qualify as full scale rallies.
00:20:47.060
So this is definitely a first of its kind in many ways, including for president Trump.
00:20:53.320
I think New York, uh, he was, he was born here.
00:20:58.180
Uh, this is really where he came, uh, to be, you know, who we know him as today.
00:21:06.540
And frankly, his, uh, America first style populism in many ways is a New York movement.
00:21:12.240
It's the kind of, uh, populism that exists in the outer boroughs going back, you know,
00:21:16.280
over a generation or two, you know, it used to be among, you know, more working class
00:21:20.840
Now it's become, uh, the populism of the Republican party as things have shifted and the tides have
00:21:25.320
turned both in New York and elsewhere, but coming back home, coming back to New York,
00:21:29.580
being in New York, I think in some ways, silver lining has been great.
00:21:33.140
I mean, look, you know, say what you want about Florida, but people tend to get a little
00:21:35.940
comfortable down there in the, uh, in the Florida sun.
00:21:46.360
It's where you go to relax and it's a great place for that.
00:21:49.740
It's absolutely wonderful, but it's, it's not the place where you go to work.
00:21:56.240
It's not the place where you go to, to build massive M, you know, uh, imperial capitals
00:22:05.600
And, and I think there's just a different energy in the streets of New York and he is
00:22:11.920
And I've always said that Trump tower is like his bat cave.
00:22:20.460
I mean, he, he really localized the speech talking about his New York history, talking
00:22:24.660
about New York themes, talking about the very, uh, type of, you know, energy that New York
00:22:30.560
And it's certainly much more of a fighting spirit, uh, being from New York, you're, you're
00:22:34.600
definitely, you know, used to, to the grind or used to pushing through, uh, and fighting
00:22:39.500
It's not the laid back, you know, easy come easy go state.
00:22:42.580
And I think in politics, especially it's a cutthroat area, both for Republican politics and
00:22:47.260
for Democrat politics and I think president Trump being back in New York during this time,
00:22:51.520
I think they've on, they, they woken up a sleeping giant in a lot of ways and they brought back
00:22:55.840
a lot of his New York, uh, you know, New York energy, New York, uh, you know, spirit and
00:23:02.900
We've been seeing it on the campaign trail recently.
00:23:05.200
And I think they've really miscalculated in a lot of ways, keeping him in New York.
00:23:09.300
Uh, he said, fine, then I'll take the fight to you.
00:23:14.000
And we've been seeing polling at a Siena, which is a decent pollster for New York, particularly
00:23:17.860
when it comes to gubernatorial races, they've been showing this has been a race that's been
00:23:25.140
Now it's about a nine point difference in New York, which is crazy.
00:23:28.340
If these trends continue in six months, you could be within the margin of error in terms
00:23:32.580
And I certainly think he's going to have a boost after this latest rally.
00:23:35.700
And again, it's not necessarily about winning New York.
00:23:37.980
It's not, I'm not trying to say that's a huge possibility, but you're making them spend
00:23:46.680
And you're making a play to really cement your national popular vote win, which may be
00:23:51.280
not, you know, a pure electoral thing, but it's certainly a narrative, uh, positive boost
00:23:58.700
And you could do that with a little bit of a few rallies in New York.
00:24:03.920
Obviously the house conference came through New York.
00:24:06.140
So a lot of strategic benefit here and politics is all about the margins.
00:24:09.460
You know, if you told me in 10 years, uh, New York would be a purple state.
00:24:13.280
I believe you, Lee Zelda got 47% and there's a gubernatorial race.
00:24:17.320
You know, we're seeing trends similar in New Jersey, uh, and other places.
00:24:20.360
So a lot of, a lot of people are becoming sick of the one party Democrat rule.
00:24:26.680
President Trump is helping to expose it, helping to call it out.
00:24:31.600
Let me ask you, let me shift gears for a second here, because there's been an issue that I've
00:24:36.660
been fascinated with, and I've been discussing here on the program a little bit, something
00:24:43.880
And it, there's a group of people that I've referred to now as the woke, right?
00:24:50.820
Now there's, there's multiple definitions out there for woke, right?
00:24:54.040
And it didn't start as something that I use, but I've decided to reappropriate it and flip
00:24:59.160
it back on a group of people who, you know, kind of refer to themselves as classical liberals.
00:25:04.900
And they say, we don't like what Trump is doing or, or, or Trump's, you know, Trump supporters
00:25:09.620
are doing because we think it's, there's too much government involved or there's, you know,
00:25:16.000
You know, we should just go in and tell people to get back to Ronald Reagan and go back to
00:25:21.520
And they're like wildly attacking my new book on humans.
00:25:25.640
I, I wouldn't be surprised that there are no, uh, no fans of your book on populism, either
00:25:36.780
It's like, is woken is defeated and they're just onto their new grift or is something more
00:25:42.100
By the way, we've also seen a number of leaks, um, through the journalist targeting people
00:25:48.020
like Lomas and now targeting people smearing places like Claremont and CPI saying the, oh,
00:26:03.920
I mean, a lot of these guys are controlled opposition.
00:26:05.740
They're not exactly a large percentage of the population, whether in terms of, you know,
00:26:09.680
Republicans who are voting or conservatives or in general, uh, these are people that have
00:26:13.720
really lived, uh, very comfortably off of the salaries of these think tanks and these
00:26:21.060
And they've been paid over the years, uh, to be controlled opposition.
00:26:24.360
All of a sudden you got president Trump sort of emerged out of nowhere and completely reshaped
00:26:29.020
the Overton window overnight and bring about this new populist energy, this new populist
00:26:32.960
movement that wants to win, that wants to change how Republicans govern.
00:26:36.740
They want to change how we govern in general and is willing to use state power when necessary
00:26:40.940
and is willing to be pragmatic on issues and is willing to reach new voters.
00:26:44.460
I mean, we were attacked viciously recently because we launched a labor caucus following
00:26:48.420
our successful stop with the steam fitters union in Midtown.
00:26:51.780
And they were saying, oh, how dare you reach out to union voters?
00:26:54.120
How dare you embrace, uh, you know, American labor?
00:26:56.560
You know, we, we need to, uh, we need to import more labor from abroad.
00:26:59.680
We need to, uh, you know, adopt this neoliberal worldview.
00:27:06.980
These guys are politically inept, electorally inept.
00:27:14.020
Uh, and at worst, they actually have, uh, really subversive aims and they're really
00:27:17.620
trying to push this sort of impotent, uh, you know, chamber of commerce style, Republicanism
00:27:22.560
and conservatism that doesn't want to tackle economic issues.
00:27:26.040
That doesn't want to tackle some of the excesses we've seen from the radical left that doesn't
00:27:31.280
That doesn't want to take the gloves off that they want to be content to talk about the
00:27:34.960
They want to, you know, tone police, uh, you know, the rhetoric coming out of the emerging
00:27:44.980
And, and Gavin, not only with the tone policing, but it's also this sort of policing of ideas
00:27:49.180
that you can't argue that we should be expelling communists.
00:27:53.140
You can't argue that we should be going after bureaucrats.
00:27:55.880
You can't argue that we should be taking direct action using lawfare, using harassment, using
00:28:01.460
reciprocity, legal harassment, by the way, uh, against our, our enemies and our adversaries.
00:28:07.240
And we just need to talk about Ronald Reagan more, go back to the constitution.
00:28:12.240
Um, we imagine if we start doing the same things, oh no, the left might do that to us.
00:28:20.720
And the left loves this because they realize this is, this is how you make the right impotent.
00:28:24.700
And this is how the right has been largely impotent for years because they don't understand
00:28:29.460
They don't understand, uh, you know, where the country is at.
00:28:31.980
That's why they LARP about Ronald Reagan ad nauseum, because listen, say what you want
00:28:35.400
about Ronald Reagan, uh, you know, maybe for his time, the country was certainly different.
00:28:39.480
There were some more, there were some benefits to his policies and to his agenda.
00:28:43.040
You could also argue that a lot of the things he did led to where we are today.
00:28:46.620
Uh, but at the end of the day, why are you talking about Ronald Reagan?
00:28:51.820
Do you have any vision for the future besides continuing to harp on, you know, these stale old talking
00:28:57.240
points about, you know, limited government, the free market and the constitution, it's
00:29:03.800
And the left loves it when we fall back on this nonsense.
00:29:09.800
That just means I understand what's going on in this country.
00:29:12.140
And I think we need to be a little bit more, uh, dynamic in how we approach electoral politics
00:29:17.180
rather than just LARPing like a 1980s, you know, Chicago school style, you know, neoliberal
00:29:23.040
and thinking that's somehow, you know, edgy and dissident and, and really forward thinking.
00:29:27.120
It's not, you know, I was watching Milton Friedman videos 10, 10, 15 years ago, you know,
00:29:37.560
And there's nothing unconstitutional about deciding who we want to be here and who we
00:29:43.560
There's nothing unconstitutional about wanting people that, you know, as your neighbors and
00:29:48.320
in your communities, and you don't want your communities filled with strangers who people
00:29:52.360
have different culture, different language, uh, different religion and different customs
00:29:59.060
In fact, it's the very point of the founding of the country.

If you're in the area, please join, please get involved.
00:30:35.980
He's got a lot of people following, a lot of people after him, a lot of crosshairs on
00:30:39.580
his back because he knows exactly how to get the job done.
00:30:46.260
To the gentlemen here today, part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told
00:31:14.720
to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities.
00:31:21.960
And when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction, and chaos set in.
00:31:26.540
This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around
00:31:32.060
Other countries do not have nearly the same absentee father rates as we find here in the
00:31:36.500
And a correlation could be made in their drastically lower violence rates as well.
00:31:41.740
Be unapologetic in your masculinity, fighting against the cultural emasculation of men.
00:31:50.820
You might have a talent that you don't necessarily enjoy, but if it glorifies God, maybe you should
00:31:55.480
lean into that over something that you might think suits you better.
00:31:58.560
So that was Harrison Butker's very controversial speech, and we've got a huge controversy on
00:32:05.400
our hands right now because Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, just came out earlier
00:32:10.960
today and Taylor Swift's boyfriend decided to slam his own teammate's speech, talking
00:32:17.540
about it, saying, I don't think I agree with most of it.
00:32:21.960
He said, I like the part where he talked about loving his wife and kids, but he didn't agree
00:32:28.000
By the way, Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift's boyfriend, also went out and did a commencement
00:32:32.700
speech of his own that no one's talking about because all he did up there was chug a beer
00:32:37.540
because he doesn't have anything useful or insightful or interesting at all to say.
00:32:42.880
I want to bring on now Kenny Cody, who's written a fantastic piece, which everyone needs
00:32:50.220
Kenny, walk me through the controversy, and I'd love to get your take on why Taylor Swift's
00:32:55.080
boyfriend is slamming Harrison Butker's speech.
00:32:59.000
Well, on Travis Kelsey to start off, and I'm glad you mentioned him, it seems like-
00:33:07.000
Taylor Swift's boyfriend seems willing to do anything for a paycheck.
00:33:14.960
It's the same reason he took the side of BLM, embraced the LGBTQ movement.
00:33:19.520
I mean, he's willing to do whatever it takes to appease his corporate donors and the NFL's
00:33:25.000
But on the side of Harrison Butker, I think that every conservative and I think every man
00:33:30.540
should look to Harrison Butker's speech as to how we should model masculinity in the public
00:33:37.420
He represented in that speech what men are supposed to be.
00:33:41.260
We're supposed to love our wives, our significant others, and we're supposed to embrace what the
00:33:47.820
I mean, there was nothing wrong with Harrison Butker's speech in the least.
00:33:51.180
He was simply decrying from the LGBTQ movement to the demasculization of men in general, trying
00:33:58.560
to say that, you know, the part about it got messed up too, Butker acknowledged that a
00:34:03.560
lot of these women that graduated from this college are going to go on and have successful
00:34:08.240
But he just said that the most important role that a woman has is that of a homemaker, is
00:34:12.940
that of a wife, is that of the mother of children and embracing the nuclear family.
00:34:17.120
And that's all he was doing was just decrying, was going back to traditionalist roots.
00:34:21.380
And of course, that he's speaking to a Catholic university, he's speaking to a Catholic college,
00:34:26.760
I don't know how this surprised anybody in the mainstream media, on the left.
00:34:30.820
I don't know what else they expected from Harrison Butker.
00:34:32.880
And that's the part about it, Jack, that I mentioned in the article.
00:34:38.080
Harrison Butker last year gave his speech at his alma mater, the Georgia Institute of
00:34:42.320
Technology, and talked about kind of these similar values.
00:34:48.200
He denounced the embrace of the LGBTQ community.
00:34:50.880
He had denounced a number of societal liberal progressive viewpoints that are being popularized
00:34:59.980
And they have said, OK, that guy is definitely going to make another commencement speech or
00:35:03.500
have another controversy because he's a Christian conservative.
00:35:06.860
So the next time he makes a mistake, as they would like to call it, we're going to capitalize
00:35:12.860
And fortunately enough, it seems like, especially like from Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes' comments
00:35:17.020
on Harrison Butker's speech and basically defending him and his values, besides Taylor Swift's
00:35:21.720
boyfriend, he's being embraced by a lot of male superstars, of male athletes, and those
00:35:28.320
like us in the conservative media, he's being embraced.
00:35:32.460
But, you know, people like Taylor Swift's boyfriend are the reason that Harrison Butker has to give
00:35:38.520
this speech in general, is because men are being demasculated.
00:35:41.760
They're being ashamed, as he said in the speech, we need to be unashamed in our masculinity.
00:35:47.780
And that's one thing that me and you've talked about before, we need to be unashamed in our
00:35:51.740
That's one thing Harrison Butker definitely hit on during his commencement speech.
00:35:58.320
Well, and there's a huge piece here, too, because a lot of people seem to think that
00:36:02.240
masculinity is synonymous with lifting weights, working out, drinking beer, watching
00:36:11.500
sports, eating bacon, having a beard or whatever.
00:36:16.120
There's all these like hipster kind of things associated with masculinity.
00:36:19.740
But and those are certainly all masculine traits.
00:36:24.080
Certainly they're masculine traits, but they're not necessarily masculine values.
00:36:30.760
Values are timeless, important building blocks of our relationships, of our families, and then
00:36:37.280
ultimately our neighborhoods, our towns, our villages, our states and our societies.
00:36:41.820
And so masculine values are something that need to be brought back into the country.
00:36:47.800
When I was on with Tucker Carlson, we kind of got touched on this a little bit.
00:36:50.860
And I said, I said, Tucker, the most masculine word in the English language is the word no.
00:36:57.280
And I said, it's the word no, because that ability to simply say no in the face of the
00:37:05.260
the do gooders and the reformers and the people with the, you know, the good idea fairies out
00:37:17.980
It's like, guys, if you can't say no to a woman, then you're not really a man.
00:37:23.240
I mean, all the time, and I certainly don't mean arbitrarily.
00:37:27.180
But the point of the matter is, if you can't do that, then you're not really a man.
00:37:32.040
And when I look at Taylor Swift's boyfriend, it's very clear who wears the pants in that
00:37:41.020
Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, I think that no is one of the best words in English language
00:37:52.080
And, you know, one thing like my pastor and I had this conversation last week, you know,
00:37:55.960
knows one of the most beautiful words because we say no to the ways of the world, you know,
00:38:00.200
in being masculine, being spiritual, being faithful.
00:38:03.880
I mean, saying no to temptation, saying no to the world, trying to have impact on you is
00:38:10.860
Being willing to say no, being willing to not be tempted by the ways of if you're if you're
00:38:15.740
a married man, other women, say no to drinking, say no to doing drugs, say no to doing a number
00:38:21.200
of things that go against your traditional values as a true inherent masculine value.
00:38:26.900
And that's a problem that Taylor Smith's boyfriend has.
00:38:38.020
Yes to being, you know, trying to act like not traditional to his culture that he's been
00:38:43.580
raised up in, I mean, there's a number of things that he has said yes to and is an example
00:38:48.300
of how masculine value can be devalued and end up where he's ended up.
00:38:52.980
I mean, the mainstream media on the left, his brother and other people have obviously
00:39:01.860
I think one of the worst things that he does is says yes too much.
00:39:06.480
He got in trouble in college for a number of things he said yes to.
00:39:10.160
He's got a number of his professional life on a number of things he said yes to.
00:39:13.580
And when, you know, Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, the two leaders of the team that are
00:39:17.360
most synonymous with being professionals, being good coaches, and Mahomes already having
00:39:21.340
a case to be a all-time great quarterback, there's a reason that Kelsey never gets mentioned
00:39:27.040
And it's because he says yes to whatever he can or to make a dollar.
00:39:31.600
And after his professional career is over, when he's not a tight end, and eventually when
00:39:36.720
he's not Taylor Swift's boyfriend anymore, he's going to realize he has said yes to far too
00:39:41.820
And the reason Harrison Butker is a model and is a role model for men is because he
00:39:48.980
And the reason that Travis, Travis Kelsey, or like you said, Taylor Swift's boyfriend is
00:39:55.040
And Harrison Butker, I think, has gave one of the most significant speeches on masculinity,
00:40:02.000
Because like I said, he decried Biden in that speech as well.
00:40:06.020
He has decried the Democrats' handling of COVID-19, and he decried so many things that
00:40:12.960
They're using this and trying to mince his words to cancel him in mainstream and in public
00:40:19.020
But the reason that they're concentrating on that one word is that they're attacking their
00:40:25.340
They're attacking a conservative position on abortion.
00:40:28.500
And I really think that that's the reason he is being targeted.
00:40:31.660
It's not because of his position on male and female gender roles.
00:40:35.640
It's solely because he is an enemy, because he is willing to speak out and willing to
00:40:40.740
be polarizing when a lot of other people are saying yes instead.
00:40:50.180
We'll be right back, because this is a conversation that the country needs to have.
00:40:54.900
We've been needing to have one for a long time.
00:41:01.640
We let the women decide to be in control of everything.
00:41:12.020
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:22.960
I'm thinking maybe maybe we have to do a surprise MAGA meetup tomorrow night in Charlotte, North
00:41:30.360
If you're around in Charlotte, North Carolina, stay tuned.
00:41:36.300
Getter telegram might might have to be announcing a little bit of a little bit of a surprise MAGA
00:41:42.740
But Kenny Cody, I want to want to dig back into this issue with you here, because the question
00:41:48.660
of masculinity in our society and this idea that, you know, people say, like, oh, well,
00:41:56.540
I think it's time for I think the best way is for balance.
00:41:59.280
I think the best way is for balance is that men and women should each have a say.
00:42:03.340
But this is a huge problem because I look at government schools.
00:42:07.580
I look at public schools all the time and you see these programs for girls.
00:42:12.560
And yet boys are told from the very start that the way they're acting and the way they're
00:42:17.780
being and they're just their natural state is completely wrong, that they shouldn't be
00:42:23.480
And the minute that they start acting up, boom, it's like, let's throw some pills into
00:42:27.240
that kid and turn him into a zombie just for acting like a little boy.
00:42:31.840
Yeah, I mean, I mean, it's it's it's very evident.
00:42:34.440
It's like I'm glad in Tennessee, at least we have passed laws to prevent biological women
00:42:38.980
from participating in men's sports and vice versa, because I think that we have been
00:42:43.600
integrated in society that boys need to be raised to be masculine and females need to
00:42:51.100
Now, that doesn't mean that women don't have a voice in politics or in the household or
00:42:55.260
anything else, but we all have innate responsibilities.
00:43:01.520
I think the whatever podcast and he was talking about, you know, there is a sense of, you
00:43:06.820
know, women are better at some things than men are.
00:43:16.600
Women are better at understanding people, understanding conversations, understanding relationships
00:43:23.220
And that is an OK thing that where that has been lost and the nuclear family has been
00:43:28.360
rejected has come over the last 10 to 15 years.
00:43:31.400
And that's not anything that is at the fault of the conservative right or the religious right.
00:43:36.740
It's because of the embrace of world values, spiritual and nuclear family values.
00:43:41.640
And, you know, that's one of the reasons Harrison Bucker's speech was demonized by the media.
00:43:44.640
It's we're willing to get away from the original Christian values that the United States was
00:43:52.340
And I don't really understand why that's been rejected so much, because it's made men the
00:43:57.900
best and most successful men and women of the world where they are.
00:44:01.400
And, you know, if you looked at to the to the top millionaires, billionaires, CEOs of
00:44:05.820
companies, I mean, a lot of them are backed by family values.
00:44:10.880
An eight family structure, a two parent household is what leads people to being successful.
00:44:17.040
And I think that that chasing away is leading to men not graduating college and at the associates,
00:44:24.800
It's encouraging them to go away from vocation.
00:44:29.160
And I think that the erosion of society that we're seeing is us going away from masculine,

And if we're able to embrace that, like Harrison Bucker said in his commencement speech, I think
00:44:42.780
And hopefully by this, these new political movements with the MAGA movement, with the
00:44:46.120
socially conservative movement that we're seeing in so many states and different countries,
00:44:49.800
I think we're going to be able to get back to that.
00:44:51.980
But it's going to take the embrace of men like Harrison Bucker over the embrace of people
00:45:02.480
You know, in a perfect world, I think Trump said it himself.
00:45:05.860
He said, do I wish Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey well?
00:45:15.260
And we understand there's they're just savage, straight savagery.
00:45:18.580
And we understand that there's something generally wrong with the way our society is being run.
00:45:32.600
And so there's something where Trump being this this traditional self-actualized man is is so shocking to the system because that the system itself,
00:45:45.380
the systemization of using a system to deal with your problems and any of all problems in the the avoidance of direct confrontation.
00:45:54.240
That's completely female coded that we're going to have a system.
00:45:59.380
We're going to have a committee and people will submit their complaints to a committee.
00:46:11.260
So I'm going to say we're going to sell that man to man.
00:46:16.400
Or if I go to my son, I say we're going to have a man to man talk and he knows what that means.
00:46:20.160
Or if I tell my wife, we're going to have a man to man talk.
00:46:29.280
But the problem is that we have spent billions and billions of dollars and all of these years trying to remove that masculine coded masculine coded action and behavior from our society that we have created an unnatural form and an unbalanced society.
00:46:50.480
Like we're trying to all be equal and we're just not.
00:46:53.460
Like the reason that like a community organizer eventually got elected president in 2008, it's because we have went away from the traditional masculine values that men are supposed to have.
00:47:02.800
We all have to get in a meeting room and we all have to have the same voice.
00:47:06.480
But, well, no, that's not the way society has worked for hundreds of years.
00:47:09.820
It's not the way that the most successful men and women in our world have become and risen to what they have risen to.
00:47:24.940
There isn't anything wrong with separating those roles and people succeeding in those roles.
00:47:32.040
It's why the nuclear family is the most successful structure in all of human life is because when a man and a woman raise children, when they are both present in the household, you see such a high collegiate success rate.
00:47:49.080
You raise people to go away from addiction, from drug and alcohol addiction, or going out and being worthless.
00:47:55.820
If you have a nuclear family, you are much less likely to raise children that are going to go into those things.
00:48:02.540
You're more likely to raise people who are going to be the men and the women that are going to facilitate the most successful family structure that there can be in American life.
