Pozo totally free. The Pozo daily brief. This is what happens when the fourth turning
00:00:33.540
meets fifth generation warfare. A commentator, international social media sensation,
00:00:43.700
and former Navy intelligence veteran. This is human events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.200
Christ is here. Today we are announcing campaign finance, bribery, and conspiracy charges against
00:00:55.120
Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City. Mayor Adams engaged in a long running conspiracy
00:01:00.280
in which he solicited and knowingly accepted illegal campaign contributions from foreign
00:01:06.120
donors and corporations. As we allege, Mayor Adams took these contributions even though he knew they
00:01:12.560
were illegal. This is not surprising to us at all. The actions that have unfolded over the last 10
00:01:22.360
months. Yeah. The leaks, the commentary, the demonizing. This did not surprise us that we reached
00:01:33.600
this day. And I asked New Yorkers to wait to hear our defense before making any judgments.
00:01:41.320
Looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state
00:01:45.740
governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes prioritizing
00:01:51.320
affordable housing. When she was unable to answer the question about, are you better off now than
00:01:56.220
four years ago? I think that was illustrated. Four years ago, literally, we're in a pandemic. It was
00:02:00.600
an easy answer. We can look at exactly what happened. He's already been president. And we can look at what
00:02:06.560
happened when she was vice president. And it's not good, the comparison. Being the president, Joe,
00:02:10.400
as you know, is different than being vice president. It's not close, right? So she can take credit for
00:02:16.140
the good things that happened with Biden, but she didn't have anything to do with the bad. Here's what's a
00:02:20.120
little tricky. She doesn't answer the question around if the GOP is controlling the Senate, if she can't
00:02:25.940
raise corporate taxes, where is she going to get the money from to expand the child's tax credit and
00:02:31.100
do all the things she wants to do? And she says, we just have to do it. And that's great. And that's
00:02:35.760
a campaign promise. But the issue is, if it means we're just going to borrow again, then what we're
00:02:41.660
doing is we're just never addressing the deficit. What's the first word that pops into your head
00:02:47.180
when you hear the name Kamala Harris? Liar. Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board. Today's
00:02:52.920
edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C. Today is September 26, 2024. Anno,
00:02:59.700
Dominic. Folks, we got a big one today. Melania Trump herself. A lot of people ask and they say,
00:03:06.960
where's Melania? We want more Melania. We got to hear more about Melania. Look, look, she does things
00:03:13.080
in her own time. We know that she's had the book coming out. She's had this huge media tour that's
00:03:19.200
been planned. She started the tour just today. And yes, as I see, the great Marley USA says in
00:03:27.920
the comments here, the queen has arrived. Ladies and gentlemen, Melania Trump has entered the race
00:03:35.080
and she has finally told publicly for the first time her side of the story about how it was and
00:03:41.820
where she was when she found out that her husband had been shot through the ear. We have a clip.
00:03:46.800
We're going to play it. The mainstream media, there were a few days reporting about July 13 event
00:03:55.760
and everything then became quiet. So I had a lot of questions. What's going on? It's, this is not
00:04:04.040
normal. And is it really shocking that all this egregious violence goes against my husband, especially
00:04:21.040
that we hear the leaders from the opposition party and mainstream media branding him as a threat to
00:04:31.440
democracy, calling him vile names. They only fueling a toxic atmosphere and giving power, all of these
00:04:41.520
people that they want to do harm to him. This needs to stop. This needs to stop. The country needs to
00:04:48.380
unite. And I encourage everybody to read my letter that I wrote on July 14 again, because that cannot
00:04:59.160
continue. Your son is in college. I understand, but he's still your child. This is his father. How
00:05:06.680
difficult was that to have that conversation? Very difficult. Very difficult. He was outside playing
00:05:12.980
sport and, um, he rushed in and, uh, was very, very difficult. Wow. Just incredible. And I can't wait to be able to share
00:05:24.120
with you guys Melania's side of the story when she told, um, Ainsley Earhart there about what happened
00:05:31.760
where she was and how she first heard that president Trump had been shot. We'll be able to get that for
00:05:37.240
you in the next segment, hopefully, but just listening to her there talking about how her son found out
00:05:44.580
about this. And then you heard her response as well to the mainstream media, your rhetoric and the
00:05:50.680
Democrat rhetoric, calling her president a threat has kept his life under active, active threat.
00:05:58.320
This has to stop. Melania Trump entering the race. We'll be back with more next segment.
00:06:10.040
We talk about influences. These are influences and, uh, they're friends of mine. Jack Posobiec. Where's Jack?
00:06:23.360

00:07:57.740
this interview with Melania Trump discussing the assassination attempts on her husband, the president.
00:08:03.500
It's interesting how quiet and everything became, all of the mainstream media. There were a few days
00:08:16.020
reporting about July 13 event and everything then became quiet. So I had a lot of questions. What's going
00:08:26.000
on? This is not normal. And is it really shocking that all this egregious violence
00:08:37.820
goes against my husband? Especially that we hear the leaders from the opposition party and mainstream
00:08:51.460
media branding him as a threat to democracy, calling him vile names. They only fueling a toxic atmosphere
00:09:03.320
and giving power all of these people that they want to do harm to him. This needs to stop. This needs
00:09:10.740
to stop. The country needs to unite. And I encourage everybody to read my letter that I wrote on July 14
00:09:19.940
again, because that cannot continue. Folks, when you look at Melania Trump there and hear this
00:09:30.220
interview, and she's got her new book out, which I of course encourage people to go and check out
00:09:34.380
number one on Amazon right now. I can't wait to read it myself. You're looking at someone who views all
00:09:40.560
of this through a different lens. See, we think about it in terms of what's the future for the country?
00:09:47.520
What's the future for the movement? What's the future for the election? And we play these stories
00:09:54.720
on a daily basis. We play this back and forth of Trump's up today. Trump's down today. Kamala's
00:10:00.360
getting momentum. Is Kamala momentum real? Or it's obviously not. But for Melania Trump and for
00:10:08.260
Barron Trump and for every member of President Trump's family, this is not, okay, this is not a
00:10:15.460
game. This is not a horse race. It's not just some story in the news that they read and they go to the
00:10:22.140
next one. For them, it's their actual lives. So for her, different from everyone else on the planet.
00:10:28.780
She mentioned seeing it there and hearing about it twice now. Wasn't just some story. Wasn't just some
00:10:38.340
piece on the news. This was her husband. This was the father of her son. Shot through the ear. And then
00:10:48.620
again, threatened when they got playing golf, his favorite pastime and her sitting there having to
00:10:57.900
think about the fact that he might not come home at this rally might be the one where he doesn't make
00:11:04.740
it back. And the guy has said that next week he's going back to Butler and that he's going to be
00:11:15.860
appearing at the exact same spot where he almost lost his own life. And we're going to get, I have
00:11:23.940
this other clip coming where she talks about how it was a miracle. And I think we all agree. And that's
00:11:31.700
why when Joshua Lysak and myself put together the Bulletproof Project, we couldn't think of another
00:11:37.220
word that was better than that. Bulletproof. And the image that we chose, now people are asking,
00:11:43.900
why did you choose this image for the cover and not the image, the more iconic image, I think,
00:11:49.300
of the one where his fist is up in the air? And I said, you know something?
00:11:51.560
The image of Donald Trump that we received that day, where he was down, where his hands were up in
00:12:02.340
front of his face, obviously catching himself when he was, he was knocked down by the Secret Service. But
00:12:07.300
it occurred to me months after, and as we were in the process of writing this, which will become the
00:12:13.780
first Bulletproof report for the Bulletproof Project, that this was a Donald Trump that we hadn't seen
00:12:20.280
before. What's the one thing you've never seen Donald Trump do in public? Certainly never at a rally.
00:12:27.720
Get down on his knees and pray. You never saw it before. But you know what? On July 13th,
00:12:37.520
that's exactly what he did. Because he humbled himself. He was humbled. He was brought to his knees.
00:12:47.420
And when you look at that picture, when you see that, his hand in front of his face,
00:12:53.540
he's praying. He's clearly praying. And he's on his knees in front of the entire world. And it's
00:13:04.180
after that moment that he rises up to his feet and his hand raises in the air. But this is the moment.
00:13:11.840
This is the moment where he was brought down, where the bullets are still raining all around him.
00:13:20.660
And that's the moment where I believe, and I think a lot of people believe, that God spoke to him.
00:13:28.200
I want to play that clip now. Lania Trump talking about it being a miracle.
00:13:32.520
The TV. And I rewind it. And I watched it. I was only a few minutes behind. And something, I guess,
00:13:44.340
looked over me. So I didn't really see live, live. But maybe, you know, three minutes, few minutes later.
00:13:52.680
But when I saw it, I, you know, it was only nobody really knew yet. Because when you see him
00:14:00.800
on the floor, and you don't know, you don't know what really happened. And then a few weeks later,
00:14:08.940
there's another attempt on your husband's life at your golf course. Where were you? And what was your
00:14:14.520
reaction to this attempt? I was in New York City, actually. And I saw it on the television. And as
00:14:25.120
I saw it on television, I called again. And he was okay, because Secret Service were great. The guys
00:14:35.900
that they were with him. They were fantastic. And I think both of the events, they were really a miracles.
00:14:46.800
If you really think about it, the July 13 was a miracle. Like that much. And he could,
00:14:54.780
you know, he could not be with us. And he normally doesn't call for that one screen.
00:15:00.620
He waits till the end of the screen. Correct. So just looking at that screen allowed him to turn
00:15:05.800
his head. I think something was watching over him. I think he's, it's almost like Kant really,
00:15:13.020
really needs him. Something up there is watching over him, protecting him,
00:15:22.680
because this country needs him. There you go. That's not me saying that.
00:15:30.620
That's not J.D. Vance saying that. He bannin. It's Melania Trump. His wife. Who's gotten in the race.
00:15:42.420
Who's using her own voice to give truth to what so many of us believe. That this was an act of God in
00:15:52.060
response to an act of evil. That when evil acts, God will respond. The evil act of Thomas Matthew
00:16:00.480
Brooks, the evil act of Ryan Wesley, Ralph, and potentially even future. Keep in mind, folks,
00:16:07.860
keep in mind. You think that he's having these briefings with Homeland Security and ODNI and
00:16:14.560
Secret Service, and they're all telling him that his life is under active threat. And he's not going
00:16:18.080
to mention that a little bit to his wife. Or you think that she's not going to know she follows him
00:16:22.160
on Twitter. She knows what's going on. She gets it. She knows that his life is under active,
00:16:29.600
open threat. So is hers, by the way. So is her son's life when he's up there at NYU.
00:16:37.060
This is what this family has been up to. And this is what they have been through. And this is what they
00:16:43.640
are willing to continue to live with. And that's why we put together the Bulletproof Project. Because
00:16:50.480
if they can go up, and if they can face that on a daily basis, and keep their heads up high,
00:16:57.740
then they can be an inspiration to all of us. And we owe it to them to get to the bottom of what is
00:17:03.900
going on and to get to the truth about the assassination attempts on Donald Trump. And this
00:17:09.980
is an ongoing investigation. I'm telling you, we have private investigators that are going to continue
00:17:15.780
working on this. They're going to continue pounding the pavement device selection and analysis. We are
00:17:22.640
going to go through running the rat line, doing whatever we have to do, get the information out and
00:17:28.200
get the information out to you, the people, and then of course, to get it to the family. And
00:17:34.860
just truly honored to have Donald Trump Jr., his son, his oldest son, who have written the forward for
00:17:42.780
this, because they understand all too well, we're just one inch away. Human Events columnist Kenny Cody

00:19:20.460
Kenny Cody, Human Events columnist. Kenny, I got to ask you, what did you think of Melania's
00:19:26.400
interview this morning, the first sit down interview that she's done since the assassination
00:19:30.900
attempts? Well, I think it is a good timing because I think that America not only needs to know the
00:19:36.120
political side, the Secret Service side, the Trump and the campaign side of it. But from a personal
00:19:42.080
standpoint, I think Melania needed to talk about her fears that day, along with Barron and the rest
00:19:46.720
of her family about the attempt on her husband's life. Look, when you're married to the most beloved
00:19:51.300
and simultaneously the most hated man in the world, depending on who you ask, there's going to be a lot
00:19:56.420
of things that you have to deal with. I can't imagine how many death threats her family has gotten.
00:20:00.020
I can't imagine how many threats to her family and to her household that her family has gotten. But
00:20:04.200
you know, these last two attempts, I'm sure has had a vast impact on her. And when the wife of an
00:20:09.740
attempted, you know, as a president that's been attempted to be assassinated comes out on television
00:20:14.000
and says, we need to unite. We need to realize what America first stands for. We need to realize that
00:20:19.140
there has been too much rhetoric surrounding, you know, my husband being a threat to democracy
00:20:24.160
over the last two of the last, really the last decade. This isn't anything new to any Trump
00:20:29.060
supporter since 2015, that he's been called a fascist. He's been called the next Hitler. He's been called,
00:20:33.400
you know, a authoritarian, totalitarian, you know, for the last 10 years of his political
00:20:38.860
career. And it's finally culminated in two assassination attempts. So to hear from Melania's
00:20:43.280
perspective, to hear from, you know, the fears that she had in her mind, to be thanking the people
00:20:47.640
that helped her husband and to be really just calling for the country to unite behind her husband
00:20:52.300
is a really inspiring message. And I think just the rhetoric she has been formulating for weeks up
00:20:57.160
until this interview has been very ideal for the Trump campaign.
00:21:01.740
Well, and again, you know, see someone, it kind of even ties back to her be best when she talked
00:21:06.920
about, you know, keeping the rhetoric down. And, you know, Kenny, something that's interesting is that
00:21:10.780
when I saw J.D. Vance in Hershey, Pennsylvania with Tucker this past weekend, that J.D. talked about how,
00:21:17.780
yes, we do have polarization in America, but we have one side that is trying to censor the other
00:21:26.080
side. And I said, okay, that's interesting. Where are you going with that, J.D.? And he connected the
00:21:30.340
dots in a very brilliant way, I believe, where he pointed out that first they tried to censor
00:21:36.760
conservatives. Then they censored Trump from Twitter. They censored him from social media.
00:21:42.420
He kept going. So they realized by creating his own social media through social, then they went
00:21:47.840
further and said they tried to strip him from the ballot. That didn't work. So they tried to arrest
00:21:52.020
him. That continued to not working. And so it's through the beginning of censorship where you start
00:21:58.640
to realize that there's something, and it's again, through the same rhetoric, they're dangerous.
00:22:04.140
Their beliefs are dangerous. Their ideas are dangerous. Their words are violence. You know,
00:22:09.120
where do we keep hearing this? It's always from the left. And then that eventually leads to someone
00:22:14.260
finally going and deciding and taking matters into their own hands and potentially not just their
00:22:19.340
own hands, potentially others involved, which is something that we're investigating. But the idea,
00:22:23.840
of course, being that shutting down one side is good. You only ever see one side doing that. And so
00:22:31.100
what J.D. did was point out that because they were unable to censor him, because they were unable to
00:22:37.920
stop him from running because they were unable to take away his freedom. Now they are trying to take
00:22:43.340
away his life. It's actually been progressive escalation ever since that in day one. And you
00:22:50.100
just don't hear that from the right. You don't hear the right ever calling to censor the left. It's just
00:22:55.280
not something we talk about, is it? No, it's not. I mean, over the last 10 years, if you look about all
00:23:00.960
the political violence that has happened in our country, most of those threats have consisted of those
00:23:05.780
towards Republicans. Look at the shooting that involved Steve Scalise. You look at the assault
00:23:10.660
on Rand Paul by his next door neighbor. You look at the threats to Nancy Mace when she got sent,
00:23:16.360
probably anthrax in the mail. You see the threats to Lee Zelda when he was running for the governor
00:23:20.420
of New York. I mean, there's been so many instances of the left committing political violence or
00:23:25.160
threatening political violence to Republicans. And you just don't see that from the right. You don't see
00:23:29.820
because we have discourse that we make death threats. You just don't see that in America on the
00:23:34.400
conservative, right? Because we do strive to be better. Not only just as political operatives,
00:23:40.280
but we strive to be better people. And that comes different when you're going campaigning and
00:23:44.820
trying to label the left for what they are. But when it comes to just treating them, we're not the
00:23:48.980
ones trying to kill candidates. That's the left. The left are trying to kill our presidential nominee.
00:23:54.300
They call all the time, we call for a rhetoric change. And I've saw you, I've tweeted it before,
00:23:59.780
and there's been many other people say, well, why don't you just stop trying to kill our candidate?
00:24:04.400
And JD is right about that. I think when you have had this rhetoric for 10 years of this man being
00:24:10.160
labeled the way he's been, when he's been silenced the way he's been, the man had to found his own
00:24:14.020
social media platform to have a voice in American politics because Twitter banned him, Facebook banned
00:24:20.740
him, Instagram banned him. He literally had to start an entire new platform to even have a voice on the
00:24:26.780
internet. How crazy is that to even discuss? And it's, it's all leads up to this. This was the last
00:24:33.900
step. Like you can label somebody what you want to, you can call them what you want to, you can name
00:24:39.220
call you want to, but what has ultimately happened is the culmination of the last 10 year demonization
00:24:44.880
of Donald Trump's political career and the politicization of Donald Trump and demonization of
00:24:49.060
Donald Trump as a man. We have culminated in what has happened to Donald Trump over the last
00:24:54.740
three to four months. This is nothing new. You know, even in 2015, I don't know if anybody remembers
00:25:00.180
in 2015, there was a man who tried to storm the stage at Donald Trump and that's barely ever talked
00:25:03.860
about. I wouldn't necessarily call that an assassination attempt, but we might as well.
00:25:08.220
Actually, I'm sure. Believe it or not, Kenny, we actually, uh, we detail that in the new book
00:25:13.160
and bulletproof. We get into that. There was another event in Dayton, Ohio, right around the same
00:25:16.840
timeframe that again, people just don't talk about where that guy who tried to storm the stage and that
00:25:22.180
was in Las Vegas. He was, well, Kenny, I think you're about to say, what did the media do with
00:25:26.140
that guy who tried to storm the stage? They, they swept it under the rug. Like they, they want to
00:25:31.240
in every single aspect of America. Well, originally, but, but, but originally, so eventually they swept
00:25:36.580
under the rug. Originally though, CNN put him on and interviewed him. They interviewed him. They
00:25:41.600
gave him a profile and they said, why is it that, and, and, and of course, you know, we, we just went
00:25:46.720
back and we were reviewing all these for the book. And so CNN gives this guy a profile and they,
00:25:50.500
they make him famous. They make him famous for trying to storm the stage. And if you look in the
00:25:55.040
video, it's very clear, by the way, that he is attempting to take one of the firearms, the side
00:26:01.360
arm of a secret service agent. So again, right. Attempting to arm himself, attempting to storm the
00:26:07.020
stage. And what does CNN do? They make him famous. And that's what the tacit agreement is here. You try
00:26:12.280
to kill Trump and we'll make you famous. We'll make you a hero. You'll be loved. And that's exactly what
00:26:18.020
this guy, Ryan Wesley Routh was saying. He was saying, we all know what needs to be done.
00:26:22.480
Everyone around the world, young and old. And then the DOJ comes out and puts up a bounty and
00:26:27.940
makes it public. I mean, this is insane. And Stephanie rule over on MSNBC in this crazy propaganda,
00:26:34.600
state propaganda level, you know, something that would make, this would make Stalin blush the level
00:26:40.880
of propaganda that MSNBC is doing right now, because they're like, she's, she's up there singing the
00:26:45.400
McDonald's jingle with her doesn't even answer or ask one question. So Kamala Harris, how are you
00:26:51.620
going to make America better versus you go over to conservative media and we're sitting there going,
00:26:56.120
how are we going to keep our candidate alive until, you know, until election day? It's completely
00:27:02.500
insane. Kenny, the way the media is acting about how like president Trump hasn't been sought and David
00:27:07.920
Muir cuts president Trump off, you know, well, you know, I was shot by an assassin's bullet. Excuse me,
00:27:14.160
sir. Excuse me. We we've got a lot of important information to get to. Excuse me. We never asked
00:27:18.900
him a question about it. Sorry to go off on you, man. But it's, it's just totally insane how the
00:27:23.380
media acts like this isn't happening right now. Well, a hundred percent. I mean, it's just the,
00:27:28.280
the amount of hiding. I mean, they're allowing one candidate to hide in the basement and not give
00:27:33.520
any media interviews. Meanwhile, J.D. Vance has done what 90 media appearances, but they won't even
00:27:37.580
talk about the, literally the last two assassination tips on one of the candidates for the presidency
00:27:42.100
never before in American history. Have I seen not only the sort of demonization of one political
00:27:47.720
candidate and the wish for death for political candidate, but like you've said, Jack and that
00:27:51.120
guy getting interviewed back in 2015, about 2015, literally being viewed as a hero, being viewed as
00:27:58.100
a figure in the political movement. You know, back in the day that that person would have been
00:28:01.420
ostracized, put in a mental institution or put in prison and never heard from again. But in the current
00:28:05.520
political world, the mainstream media on the left want to idolize this guy and make him a hero.
00:28:10.080
And if it was really up to them, they would make Ryan Ruth, Crooks, and that same guy that we were
00:28:15.780
talking about that's going to be in your book, all heroes, because they want Donald Trump dead and
00:28:19.660
they want every one of us dead as well. By the way, one of the interesting, interesting pieces,
00:28:26.500
the individual Michael Sanford, who, who charged the stage in 2016, eventually pled guilty. And this is
00:28:36.140
actually great. This is great because back in 2016, he was sentenced, uh, to 11 months of custody.
00:28:44.220
Then Trump becomes president in January, 2017. And actually Donald Trump's administration
00:28:51.660
deported Michael Sanford out of the United States in, in 2017. So he actually deported the guy who tried
00:29:00.460
to storm the stage back to, uh, he was a British citizen. So he was able to deport him back to the
00:29:05.580
United Kingdom. So just, just kind of amazing that, uh, Donald Trump was able to deport a guy who
00:29:10.920
actually tried to try, potentially tried to kill him. Yeah. What goes around comes around. And I'm
00:29:17.480
hoping along with all, all the deaths that we've seen through illegal immigration, you know, those of
00:29:21.800
Lincoln Riley and others, I'm really hoping that the same kind of thing happens to the migrants
00:29:26.420
coming over the border to try to kill not only Donald Trump, but other Americans as well.
00:29:30.640
It's as simple as that, Kenny, we've got a quick break coming up. You've got a new column
00:29:34.640
up all about the impact of a certain endorsement that you and I had discussed a while back and
00:29:42.160
as to whether or not it would shake up the race. And it looks as though the endorsement itself is being
00:29:48.460
shaken off. We're going to get into that and more as human events daily continues right back.
00:30:13.220
Where is Jack? Where is Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you.
00:30:21.000
Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're
00:30:28.340
always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the guys
00:30:32.920
who should be getting policies. Well, ladies and gentlemen, back here, human events daily,
00:30:38.220
Washington, D.C. Folks, after Roe v. Wade fell, the abortion industry radically changed their tactics.
00:30:44.660
Today, their top scheme is brainwashing the most vulnerable minds out there, those of young
00:30:50.180
people. Planned Parenthood and their cronies target college, high school, and even middle
00:30:54.780
school students through academic indoctrination, social media algorithms, and downright lies.
00:31:00.480
In fact, nine in 10 Planned Parenthood abortion clinics are within walking distance of a college
00:31:05.180
campus. But you can stop the merchants of death from poisoning the heart of your child or grandchild
00:31:10.920
before it's too late. That's why I'm partnering with Students for Life of America. I need you to

00:31:55.480
now. Tell me, is a certain celebrity endorsement shaking up the race or is the nation shaking it off?
00:32:02.840
The nation is shaking it off just like my great state of Tennessee did back in 2018. I think a lot
00:32:07.340
of people forget when Taylor Swift endorsed Phil Bredesen, who was a very popular Democratic
00:32:12.860
governor in Tennessee from the years of about 2000 until 2010, 2008, you know, his popularity went
00:32:20.160
up and down. He ran against Marcia Blackburn in 2018 for the Tennessee U.S. Senate seat. And a lot
00:32:25.960
of those thought, well, this hometown girl, this home, if you want to call it that, she's really
00:32:30.640
Pennsylvania and moved, but she was, you know, moving to Tennessee. She thought that her hometown or
00:32:36.020
proclaimed hometown of Nashville, she can make a political endorsement and have an impact on
00:32:40.580
helping a former governor, a former decently popular Democrat governor, win over Marcia
00:32:44.740
Blackburn. And that did not happen. Most polls thought that the race was a toss up. Those had it
00:32:50.340
within a margin of three to four points, whether that was for Blackburn or Bredesen. And after Taylor
00:32:54.560
Swift endorsed, she had literally no impact on the election whatsoever. And Marcia Blackburn, our great
00:32:59.960
U.S. Senator from Tennessee, absolutely trounced Phil Bredesen by nearly 11 points and a expected
00:33:06.280
margin of about five to six points, even more than people thought that the margin would actually end
00:33:10.940
up being, whether it was for Blackburn or for Bredesen. Democrat Party poured millions into this
00:33:15.620
race, especially after Swift's endorsement and ultimately had no impact at all. Huh? How does that
00:33:22.200
sound familiar? It sounds familiar of what the Kamal Harris campaign thought that Taylor Swift,
00:33:26.640
Beyonce and all these celebrities are going to do for her and it's going to have absolutely zero
00:33:30.480
impact. It's not going to have a voter registration impact. It's not going to have an impact on popular
00:33:34.860
culture because Taylor Swift, people hate Taylor Swift more than they hate politicians. She gets shown on
00:33:40.600
Kansas City Chiefs games all the time and NFL campaigns get so mad because she has nothing to do with
00:33:46.080
football in the same way she has nothing to do with politics. And Tennesseans were really the first
00:33:50.340
person to say, hey, Taylor, maybe stick to this poppy teen girl music that you make for
00:33:56.520
some reason and people like for some reason and leave the politics to us, leave the sports to the
00:34:01.060
football players and stay out of our lives. And Tennesseans first shown that in 2018 and have a
00:34:06.540
really, really good feeling that Americans and Republicans are going to show her that we could
00:34:10.020
care less what she has to say about politics as well. And that's that's really interesting because
00:34:15.580
I think there are actually some polls that came out that said people were less likely to support
00:34:20.600
Harris after hearing that Taylor Swift had supported her rather than had heard it before. So suddenly,
00:34:28.880
yeah, that becomes a situation where an endorsement cuts more against you than it does help. By the way,
00:34:36.080
I do want to make a quick mention of something. In the last segment, I was talking about CNN
00:34:41.120
interviewing someone who rushed the stage at President Trump. CNN, and I wanted to clarify something I
00:34:47.040
said, CNN interviewed the guy who rushed the stage in Dayton, Ohio, and the Las Vegas guy was the one
00:34:54.700
who was deported. So two separate instances, the earlier one and the first one was when was the guy
00:35:01.820
who later got a sit down interview with CNN. The other guy was the one who was later deported. But
00:35:08.580
Kenny, when it comes to these situations with celebrities and Taylor Swift in general, isn't there also
00:35:15.240
potential for look, the idea isn't so much that it's going to help her win the race, but it's going
00:35:21.000
to help her with certain demographics. And you mentioned, you know, teenage girls are really that
00:35:25.200
that young 18 to 24 year old age group. Do you think that Taylor Swift has the ability to turn
00:35:31.540
them out? Because look, you know, I like a lot of other people had really called that Taylor Swift would
00:35:37.760
endorse and then she certainly did. But at the same time, we haven't really seen her put in any
00:35:43.120
other way. She's not appearing at rallies with Kamala Harris. She's not really doing TikTok videos
00:35:47.660
or anything like that. Do you think that we're going to see more of that? Or is this Taylor sort
00:35:51.720
of dropping her endorsement and running back out of the race? It's running back out of the race. You
00:35:56.760
know, if you look back to Taylor Swift, and I mixed this in the article, if you look back to Taylor
00:35:59.960
Swift's political history, she advocated for the Black Lives Matter protests. She advocated for
00:36:04.740
gun reform. She advocated and actually endorsed Joe Biden in 2020. She endorsed Phil Bredesen back in
00:36:10.800
2018. And now she's endorsed Kamala Harris. But the only impact she's ever really had is in some
00:36:15.360
states, she's increased voter registrations of young people. But the thing about it is, Jack,
00:36:19.540
and I think me and you, if I follow politics long enough, know that doesn't really matter
00:36:22.580
unless you actually turn those votes out. And I think that Swift has went far too early in her
00:36:27.120
endorsement. She's not gave it. She gave a full throat in endorsement, but she hasn't appeared at
00:36:30.680
rallies. She's not advocating or wearing Harris gear on stage. She's not going into performing at
00:36:36.440
Kamala Harris rallies or anything. It's just her bowing down to the establishment and bowing down
00:36:42.580
and making the endorsement because she's basically been forced to. And I think that that's really
00:36:46.460
reflective of a lot of celebrities in politics, you know, in the same ways that we don't want
00:36:50.540
sports or politics in sports. You've seen the rejection of Colin Kaepernick in the NFL.
00:36:55.940
You're seeing the same thing in music. You know, we've talked about probably before about the
00:36:59.760
hiccalybs and country music. And we know we want those those country music people who have
00:37:03.880
stood for concerted politics for so many years to stay out of politics, just make good country music
00:37:08.640
about Appalachia and the Southern life and stay out of politics. And we're kind of sending the same
00:37:13.160
message to Taylor Swift. Yeah, you may be a significant figure, unfortunately, within football
00:37:17.920
and now in music, but you don't know anything about politics. You've been on the wrong side of history
00:37:22.280
over the last 10 years, whether it comes to gun reform or gun policy and assault weapon ban reform.
00:37:28.140
You know, you want to talk about, you know, the BLM protests. We saw the reflection of that in public
00:37:32.380
polling and the reflection of that and the reaction to protests like Kamala Harris advocated
00:37:37.700
for in Minnesota. You see all of these impacts and the opinions that she's had on politics and
00:37:42.520
the activism she's had on politics over the last 10 years. And all of them have came to failure.
00:37:49.000
You know, Phil Bredesen got beat by 11 points when he was only expected to get beat by four or five.
00:37:53.080
And that may be what happens to Kamala Harris in 2024. Her one successful endorsement,
00:37:57.940
if you want to call it that, I guess, was of Joe Biden in 2020. But he had she had no feasible
00:38:03.840
or marginal impact on that race whatsoever. I mean, literally, there is no metric to prove that
00:38:09.320
Taylor Swift helped him in any single state, Pennsylvania, Tennessee or otherwise. So
00:38:14.620
seeing her be on the wrong side of every single political position that she's ever taken is kind
00:38:21.140
of heartwarming to me, but really reflective of the reaction to the public when celebrities get
00:38:25.580
involved in politics in general. And this is a huge thing. I mean, the American people are not
00:38:31.600
we're not dumb, right? You know, people are busy, but they're not stupid. So people say people say to me
00:38:36.680
all the time, like, how can you, you know, watch that movie? Or how can you listen to that song? Because
00:38:41.460
of, you know, some political leanings of the of the person. And, and by the way, what I do try to say
00:38:46.020
is, I don't try to financially support people who are working against my interests. That's the big
00:38:53.600
one. I do not financially support with not my money or my, which is not my money. It's my family's
00:38:58.220
money, right? Every dollar I earn does not belong to me. It belongs to my family. That's number one.
00:39:02.780
But the idea is, if you don't financially support that, then you're not giving money to them. And they
00:39:08.980
say, well, how could you even like it? And it's like, these people aren't and it just seems by and
00:39:14.020
large, it just seems by and large that the American people understand that, yeah, just because I like
00:39:19.180
the way someone can sing or like just the way I like someone can act, that doesn't mean I like the
00:39:23.720
way that they think. If you're going to get your political views from some actor or some celebrity,
00:39:29.820
you know, that's like going to, it's like going to get your car fixed by one of them too. It just,
00:39:35.280
it ain't gonna work. It ain't gonna work. And I'm not going to ask her to fix my tire. I want to sing
00:39:40.160
her song. Great. Sing my song, but I'm not interested in your opinions. Last minute to you,
00:39:43.820
Kenny Cody. Yeah, Jack, I completely agree. I mean, there's many artists that I enjoy
00:39:48.580
and many things that I watch that I know those people don't agree my political beliefs, but
00:39:52.400
you know, TMZ is not going to come ask me to go on and talk about what relationships are going on
00:39:57.480
in Hollywood for the same reason that Taylor Swift should be talking about politics. Stick to what
00:40:01.180
you know, and don't try to demonize half your fan base. When you are advocating for, you know,
00:40:06.340
Kamala Harris, you're literally making mad most of your, at least half of your fan base at every
00:40:11.200
turn of the epic of your tour or what you're trying to do. So just don't demonize. We should
00:40:16.420
listen to what Taylor Swift has to say about politics at all. Couldn't agree more. And that's
00:40:20.100
exactly what Melania Trump has said. Kenny Cody, go give him a follow folks and check out his article
00:40:24.700
on Taylor Swift and all of his articles right back. Libby Emmons.
00:40:33.920
Buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office. I'm trying to listen to the new
00:40:38.660
human events with Jack Posobiec. All right, Jack Posobiec here back live human events daily. And
00:40:45.780
since we're doing the human events on human events show today, we had human events columnist,
00:40:50.620
Kenny Cody. We now have human events editor in chief Libby Emmons joining us. Also the editor
00:40:56.100
in chief of the post-millennial Libby, you're a New Yorker. I'm trying to understand these Eric
00:41:03.440
Adams charges, the first sitting New York mayor to ever be indicted. And he got some upgrades on
00:41:10.320
some flights or something. And that's why he's getting indicted. I'm so confused. What's going on
00:41:15.280
here? Yeah. So these are allegations that came out from the Department of Justice. They've been
00:41:20.640
going after Adams in earnest since about this time last year, which coincidentally is when Adams
00:41:27.060
started speaking out against the Biden-Harris border crisis and saying that the crisis was going to
00:41:34.160
destroy New York City, that they were unable to accommodate all of these migrants who were pouring
00:41:39.040
in. And it was in fact, as he was heading to DC to give Joe Biden a piece of his mind and where he
00:41:45.200
was scheduled to meet with some other mayors and the president, that he learned that his former
00:41:50.240
campaign manager had her home raided in Brooklyn by the FBI. And it turned out that there were
00:41:56.200
allegations that there were improper campaign donations from Turkish officials, Turkish airlines,
00:42:03.180
things like this. So now after a few weeks of us seeing different members of the Adams administration
00:42:10.460
resign or be forced out over, you know, after their homes were raided and things like that,
00:42:16.580
we see this indictment come down for Eric Adams. It alleges bribery. It alleges that he took,
00:42:23.140
you know, campaign donations. The basic premise of what the DOJ said is that Turkish officials gave him
00:42:30.300
a bunch of money and that they funneled it through individuals in the U.S. since it's not legal to
00:42:37.260
take campaign donations from foreign agents and things like that. So that's the big thing. And then it
00:42:43.520
says that one thing that he did also was get a bunch of free upgrades on Turkish airlines, that this is
00:42:49.560
illegal and that he in turn allowed the Turkish consulate, a rather large building in New York, to be occupied
00:42:57.800
without it having passed fire inspection. Okay. So, I mean, look, that's there. I mean, I'm not
00:43:05.680
sure if there's anything in terms of actual donations of Turkish money. Sure, that's illegal.
00:43:12.180
But you know what? There's lots of Democrats who take foreign money. Joe Biden has taken foreign
00:43:16.260
money through his son. We know that he did that. We've had so much foreign money. And yet this guy gets
00:43:22.580
indicted over a couple of flight upgrades, some seat upgrades on an airplane. Meanwhile, Libby,
00:43:30.000
I just got to ask you, right? Eric Adams is the only big city mayor in America who has directly
00:43:36.380
criticized Joe Biden and the White House for years about the migrant crisis, about illegal aliens,
00:43:43.500
about the strain on New York. And suddenly he's indicted just a month before the election.
00:43:47.940
Don't tell me that's not connected. I also am with you on that. I think it's connected also.
00:43:55.660
I've seen a lot of people on social media saying like, oh, it's not connected, you know,
00:43:59.760
you and your conspiracy theories or whatever. But he is the only big city mayor. And it's the
00:44:04.900
biggest city. It's the city that is the jewel of the country, you know, if you can take my biased
00:44:10.600
opinion for it. And he is a, you know, he is a Democrat. He's a very prominent Democrat.
00:44:15.520
And, you know, he's been a big voice in New York for a long time. And he has come out
00:44:20.340
repeatedly and said that the Biden-Harris administration was destroying the city.
00:44:24.960
He used those words that this crisis would destroy the city. New York City, for all of its
00:44:30.300
faults, has many more, including that it's a sanctuary city, including that it has a right
00:44:35.420
to shelter law, meaning that if someone seeks shelter in the city of New York, the city is
00:44:39.760
responsible to provide it. These things have been used for years for New Yorkers, for Americans.
00:44:47.680
You know, if there's someone sleeping on the street and they want somewhere to sleep inside,
00:44:51.300
the city will provide it for them. To a certain extent, that's absolutely a beautiful thing.
00:44:55.400
But it's not something that you can extend to 10,000 extra people who show up every month in
00:45:02.460
your city looking for handouts. And this is a very different immigration crisis than the
00:45:08.240
massive immigration influxes that we've seen in past years, right? The largest year, I think,
00:45:14.080
for immigration in the U.S. prior to this was through Ellis Island. It was either 1907 or 1912.
00:45:19.220
I can't remember. And it was a little bit over a million people. They all came in. They were
00:45:24.080
processed through Ellis Island. And for the most part, what they wanted to do was assimilate into
00:45:29.060
the country. They wanted to become American. They wanted their kids to become American.
00:45:33.260
And my grandparents, who were from Italy, all changed their names so that they could be more
00:45:38.060
American. You know, they didn't teach any of us Italian because they wanted to be Americans.
00:45:42.400
That is not what's happening now. You do not have a bunch of people coming in who want to be
00:45:47.380
Americans. You just have people coming in that say that they want to, you know, get what America has,
00:45:54.100
that they want to get what America is giving out. So that is a that's a big difference.
00:45:59.200
And Libby, to your point, you know, to your point as well, I would just add that 50 percent of the
00:46:04.220
Italians who arrived through Ellis Island returned within the first couple of years. So you had this
00:46:10.160
massive influx, but also you had people who returned very quickly. So it wasn't this like
00:46:15.180
massive imposition on the country. There were certain areas, but that was about it. And at the
00:46:21.180
same time, we're not the same country we were 100 years ago. Again, this has been going on for 50
00:46:26.680
years now where and President Trump has said that we are we are changing our cities. We are changing
00:46:32.400
our towns. And that has to stop because I love that quote that he gave the other day about how
00:46:37.440
it takes centuries to form the unique character of a state. And that can be changed overnight
00:46:44.420
through mass migration. It's just perfect. Yeah, I think that that's 100 percent right.
00:46:50.400
And it is very different. It's not at all the same, you know, country we have taken in everybody.
00:46:55.300
We have assimilated everyone into our nation. We have, you know, taken on new customs. But we also
00:47:02.080
have a situation now where the leadership class hates America. They say it outright. You even had
00:47:07.220
Tim Waltz had appointed someone for education who called for the overflow of the United
00:47:11.500
overthrow rather of the United States government, which is, of course, overflowing. But this is what
00:47:17.100
they're on about. So when they are inviting immigrants in, they're saying, come on in to America,
00:47:21.940
the worst place on earth. We'll give you everything. And it doesn't matter what you take from us because
00:47:27.480
we're already trash. Why is that what's going on? That's a very different message as well. When we
00:47:32.720
had the immigration in the past century, we had people coming in because they heard America was
00:47:37.200
great. Now people hear America is terrible. And they have the president saying it's terrible.
00:47:41.720
They have the vice president who wants to be president saying that it's terrible.
00:47:45.400
The only one who's out there really banging the drums of patriotism is Donald Trump and, you know,
00:47:51.500
people who are part of that movement. So I think that it's I think that it's really a shame what's
00:47:56.300
going on here. And I do think that, you know, Adams, guilty or not guilty, is being politically
00:48:02.540
prosecuted. Well, I think that's right. Libby Emmons, go give her a follow. Make sure to check her out when
