00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.620 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.240 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.
00:00:49.220 Christ is king.
00:00:51.220 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.
00:00:52.420 Today we have a very special edition of Human Events daily for you.
00:00:55.960 We're here live in Washington, D.C.
00:00:57.960 Look, we are here at General Flynn's new media summit.
00:01:02.540 Today is all about independent media.
00:01:04.940 It's all about disrupting the narrative.
00:01:07.360 It's about getting the truth out.
00:01:09.380 And we're so glad that Real America's Voice, Human Events Daily, are able to be here and
00:01:14.320 to be a part of this great summit.
00:01:16.980 Because we're meeting with people from all across the spectrum, and in fact, all across
00:01:21.220 the world in ways that the mainstream media just will not do.
00:01:26.300 This is the force multiplier.
00:01:29.240 This is how you can be a truth aggregator.
00:01:32.180 How you can actually get the facts, spread it out through using social media, using independent
00:01:37.680 networks like Real America's Voice over the top, and then going and telling that story.
00:01:42.400 Thank you very much, General Flynn.
00:01:46.220 So, I just came from a summit on the ending the persecution of Christians worldwide.
00:01:51.300 I think that's emblematic of where we stand today, is that it's a real indictment on us
00:01:56.680 as journalists that most of the world has no idea that for the past 20 plus years since
00:02:03.600 the day of 9-11, there has been a systematic, organized campaign to massacre Christians
00:02:09.480 across the isolated rural villages of Mildon, Nigeria.
00:02:13.420 And when it finally comes to light, what does Al Jazeera do and all these other journalists?
00:02:20.260 It could have always been denying that it's true.
00:02:23.340 And you're just like, I'm just like, so the last five, six years I spent documenting one
00:02:28.920 massacre after another.
00:02:31.180 I mean, I was walking at dinner on a Friday night.
00:02:32.960 I got a picture of a 17-year-old, 16, 17-year-old girl who was pregnant, having your head hacked 0.99
00:02:38.160 off while they had the body out of, the baby out of her stomach. 0.92
00:02:41.860 And you're going to sit there and tell me that this is something made up by the right
00:02:46.800 wing.
00:02:47.640 I will, I just, I cannot come to you strongly enough and say that we are in an absolute
00:02:55.580 crisis of information.
00:02:58.360 General Flynn has articulated this with Gimmy's Hina, wonderful, much-missed Spoon Cutler.
00:03:02.960 In his book, Set Generation Welfare, that is the battle for our mind.
00:03:07.060 But we are in battle for our minds and our souls.
00:03:10.640 And when you deny that people are being murdered, you lose your soul.
00:03:16.200 And, you know, I just, I see Angela Standing King.
00:03:18.720 She's going to be on the panel later today. 0.61
00:03:20.160 But Angela is one of the people that brought me to a basic truth because she saves babies
00:03:25.860 can abortion. 0.79
00:03:26.700 And she talks about saving children from murder.
00:03:29.300 And I never thought about abortion like that.
00:03:32.440 And so what is so important about that is we as juniors have been derelict in our duty
00:03:38.600 to the truth and, and into pursuing the truth, regardless of person, how else we've become
00:03:45.200 instruments of propaganda and God bless independent media and the rise of independent media.
00:03:50.920 But don't, there's a price for everything.
00:03:53.960 There's a price for everything.
00:03:56.120 So it's when we dance on the graves of, you know, CNN and the New York Times and shows how
00:04:01.040 they deserve it.
00:04:02.660 We, do we ask what fills the void?
00:04:05.600 Because what's, what is filling the void now?
00:04:08.260 You know what you don't have when you lose your advertising revenue from big farmer and
00:04:12.080 you lose the corporations, you lose first-hand journalists.
00:04:16.540 I spent five years in Iraq as the chief foreign firstborn of the CBS News.
00:04:20.920 That costs how many millions, millions of dollars?
00:04:26.000 How many over the years?
00:04:28.100 What independent media or outlet can afford that?
00:04:31.380 Now, it's no use if you're going to put people on the ground and they're not going to tell
00:04:34.460 the truth.
00:04:35.740 So your bureaus mean nothing.
00:04:37.440 I'm not standing in defense of mainstream media.
00:04:39.720 I'm standing in defense of the principles of real journalism and the reality that it
00:04:46.180 takes money.
00:04:48.060 It costs money to do real journalism.
00:04:50.720 It costs money to travel.
00:04:52.120 It costs money to invest in time and in people.
00:04:55.140 And that investment is not happening.
00:04:58.500 And, you know, unless you're the one in a million, I don't know, James does pretty well
00:05:02.600 at it.
00:05:03.080 He's relentless.
00:05:04.180 He does 19,000 different jobs at the same time.
00:05:06.520 And somehow manages to run his own organization, fight off more loose lawsuits that you can,
00:05:12.500 Imelda Martins had shoes, quite frankly.
00:05:14.700 And I still manage his schemes of independent justice.
00:05:17.620 And yet, he's still got to battle the right to even be called a journalist because the New
00:05:21.320 York, the brave lady deems him to be a far-right activist.
00:05:25.060 Please, please.
00:05:26.440 You people belong in the trash den of history.
00:05:28.800 Right?
00:05:28.960 But they, they don't.
00:05:33.440 And I receive this amazing woman, Ava, here, who I look at, you know, I see her as a vision
00:05:40.180 of what I would like to remember myself has been 20 years ago with that face.
00:05:45.480 When I was younger and thinner and, you know, and, and perfect, because every time she comes
00:05:50.260 out, she just nails it. 0.93
00:05:51.520 And she's brave.
00:05:52.260 And she, but what has Ava done?
00:05:54.260 She has consistently, over time, built up a bank of knowledge.
00:05:59.280 There was a time in journalists, it had to be, we had to be historians and we had to
00:06:03.460 be economists.
00:06:04.300 I studied economics.
00:06:06.240 I carried that English as an extra major.
00:06:09.000 I did a Bachelor of Commerce theory, not because I wanted to know anything about Karl Marx.
00:06:14.420 God guides me.
00:06:15.820 He's like, now I'm going to go there.
00:06:16.960 You know, because I have a, I have a shield of protection around and, uh, I had to force
00:06:23.060 myself to go there because I had to understand how money worked because it was obvious that
00:06:28.120 money and power drive these things that you're seeing when you're standing at the door of
00:06:33.000 a mulcher and you're 17 years old and you're making frames with the guy running it because
00:06:38.940 you want to know how many bodies there are inside because the South African government at
00:06:42.560 the time, when I was a young girl doing this reporting, lie about all of that.
00:06:48.240 So I learned the value of firsthand reporting.
00:06:52.120 And that does not mean, God bless them, I'm sorry, showing up in Aurora, Colorado with a
00:06:57.020 small camera, going around asking people if they're a member of the cartel.
00:07:00.760 I mean, that journalist, I'm sorry, put him up against the wall and shoot him in the head
00:07:04.740 and then teach him how to do your journalism.
00:07:06.760 Because every person in that building will be killed if they tell you that they're a member
00:07:11.020 of the cartel or that there's cartel there.
00:07:13.100 So that's not what I mean by firsthand journalism.
00:07:17.700 And in our way and our golden age has just begun.
00:07:21.540 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:23.280 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:27.980 Welcome to the second American revolution.
00:07:33.740 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, we're back here.

00:08:47.200 We got New Year's.

00:09:01.340 Support a company that shares your values, supports American jobs, and fuels your freedom.
00:09:06.700 One strong cup at a time.
00:09:11.160 I mean, we have a dearth.
00:09:12.920 We have forgotten how to mentor.
00:09:15.040 We have forgotten we don't have newsrooms anymore.
00:09:18.240 If I had a nickel for every time I was bouncing into my boss's office and told him about a story
00:09:24.380 and he ripped me to shreds in four and a half seconds, you know, because reality intrudes.
00:09:30.380 We have a saying in journalism that never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
00:09:35.320 Whenever you hear, oh, that's a good story.
00:09:37.580 I'm going to do that.
00:09:38.600 You start to investigate and what do you find?
00:09:40.440 It crumbles.
00:09:41.500 And what did I learn?
00:09:43.180 Never be afraid to walk away.
00:09:45.720 Don't stick with it because of belief or ideology or anything else.
00:09:50.240 Journalists are not lawyers.
00:09:51.280 We don't go into court and cherry pick evidence to make a case.
00:09:54.560 We're not advocates.
00:09:55.800 We don't campaign on behalf of people.
00:09:57.800 That's not our job.
00:09:59.780 Our job is to do everything we can to find not just part of the truth, but the whole truth.
00:10:05.820 Because something can be true, but if you distort it and you focus on it and you put that out,
00:10:09.920 but everything else, you can still be as deceptive and misleading as the people who lie blatantly.
00:10:16.000 And it's not hard.
00:10:16.860 It's not easy to find the whole truth.
00:10:19.500 These things take time.
00:10:21.660 Beat reporting is value because you know why?
00:10:24.180 Because when a Christian truly understands the subject, it's of value to all of us.
00:10:29.080 If I never understood I'm living in Iraq, I know Shiite militias, I know Iraqi terrorists, 0.92
00:10:35.580 I know the government, I know soldiers, I know people all across the country.
00:10:40.240 And yet somehow every U.S. ambassador or state department official or military official or, you know,
00:10:47.200 White House official who came to the country, they wanted to bring that enter from New York
00:10:51.500 but never spent four and a half seconds in the country.
00:10:54.400 And they opened the doors, the red politics, and you'd think, but why?
00:11:00.920 And it's because they don't want to sit down with someone who knows enough to join them.
00:11:06.400 They don't.
00:11:07.520 The superficial is the death of real journalism.
00:11:11.880 And they use a superficial.
00:11:13.800 It's good in a crisis.
00:11:15.200 The rest of the time, worthless.
00:11:16.400 And when journalists don't have resources behind them, what they do is superficial.
00:11:23.140 What I do half of them, commenting on things online.
00:11:26.120 Superficial, unfortunately.
00:11:28.260 You know, I don't want to do that.
00:11:30.340 But we have created a monster.
00:11:33.640 Independent media is both our salvation and also our monster.
00:11:37.220 And if we don't guard it and protect it and fight for it,
00:11:40.600 and if we don't recognize that there are real principles to real journalism
00:11:44.180 and separate that from opinion, which is completely valid,
00:11:49.220 opinion journalism, there's always an opinion pages in newspapers.
00:11:52.860 There's always room for analysis when you take someone.
00:11:55.640 But when you, and I hear people who are not lawyers,
00:11:58.760 and I see judges and lawyers on TV talking to you about,
00:12:01.740 nobody's going to prison for treason and tradition,
00:12:04.020 and by the way, there's a statute of limitations.
00:12:06.460 I'm like, are you serious?
00:12:10.240 I'm not even a lawyer.
00:12:12.180 And I know that's a lie.
00:12:14.680 Allowing people to get away with this nonsense is,
00:12:18.480 I mean, to me it's the equivalent of being a co-conspirator
00:12:21.080 in treason and sedition.
00:12:22.600 And we have to hold people accountable for that.
00:12:25.820 You can't take the murderer that's accused of serial,
00:12:30.500 being a serial killer, and put him up there as if he's an expert
00:12:33.500 when he's talking about his own crimes.
00:12:36.760 Sure he's an expert because he's guilty.
00:12:39.220 John Brannan.
00:12:41.720 Right?
00:12:42.120 I mean, it's insane.
00:12:45.720 And to allow CBS News to put a guy on there as the deputy head of the CIA
00:12:50.240 and then he retires and then he goes out,
00:12:52.240 you're doing the biggest cover-up of one of the most damaging
00:12:56.560 intelligence operations against this country and against this nation,
00:13:00.800 and you're allowing him to go out there like he's some independent,
00:13:03.500 neutral analyst who's just well-informed.
00:13:05.620 It's an outrage, but they get away with it because we allow them to get away with it.
00:13:11.220 Fear no evil.
00:13:12.740 So it's hard to know what that really means unless you've been through it.
00:13:18.140 You can watch the movies, read the books.
00:13:19.940 I know you've been through it.
00:13:21.660 We were all sitting together at the breakers and it was like everyone,
00:13:24.680 all of us,
00:13:25.160 it's been raided by the feds.
00:13:27.160 But I'm a journalist.
00:13:29.240 That's crazy.
00:13:31.160 It continues to be crazy.
00:13:33.820 It's so crazy that if another country did it,
00:13:36.380 our State Department would be issuing sanctions against that country.
00:13:40.120 It's actually,
00:13:41.360 hopefully.
00:13:42.120 So there's that part of it.
00:13:47.000 So I've been asked to talk about what independent media is and what my views are
00:13:52.100 on the current situation.
00:13:53.400 I second again what you said about money.
00:13:57.480 I don't know if the,
00:13:59.080 this is a controversial statement to make,
00:14:00.840 I don't know if the commercial imperative is compatible with truth-telling.
00:14:04.660 I don't know if the commercial imperative is compatible with investigative journalism.
00:14:08.900 I mean,
00:14:10.260 how many,
00:14:11.200 you know,
00:14:12.080 you at 60 minutes,
00:14:13.140 you watched your piece dozens of times before you aired it?
00:14:16.700 Hundreds of times.
00:14:18.120 And now everything's live.
00:14:19.900 I just started to do live myself,
00:14:21.620 but there's something missing in live.
00:14:23.580 You don't package it.
00:14:25.260 There's no who,
00:14:25.900 what,
00:14:26.140 none,
00:14:26.360 or why.
00:14:26.960 There's no,
00:14:27.420 there's no concise,
00:14:29.060 succinct presentation of the information.
00:14:31.240 So as a result,
00:14:31.940 our brains are everywhere.
00:14:33.900 There's no discipline.
00:14:35.400 And the discipline of verification is what separates propaganda from,
00:14:38.820 journalism.
00:14:40.560 The discipline of verification is what separates journalism from propaganda.
00:14:46.060 And there is no verification of anything.
00:14:48.340 Why?
00:14:48.940 Because the incentives aren't aligned.
00:14:51.120 The incentives are to make money and to get clicks.
00:14:54.580 But,
00:14:55.040 and you say a lot of crazy shit, 0.61
00:14:57.200 because that's what your audience wants to hear.
00:14:59.180 But that's not the truth though.
00:15:01.280 So,
00:15:01.840 and I'm not going to give any examples,
00:15:03.100 but you know what I'm talking about.
00:15:04.760 Is your people are just saying crazy bulls because there's money in it.
00:15:09.560 There's no money in what I do.
00:15:11.560 And when you look at the world,
00:15:13.360 which you,
00:15:13.920 everyone does,
00:15:14.580 because we all run organizations,
00:15:15.940 whether we're NGOs or corporations or LLCs or five,
00:15:18.720 one,
00:15:18.800 six,
00:15:18.980 even five,
00:15:19.600 one C threes,
00:15:20.380 which are non-for-profit enterprises.
00:15:22.480 You have a statement of that assets.
00:15:24.060 You have assets and you have something called the flyability.
00:15:27.260 And guess what?
00:15:28.220 My liabilities are always going to exceed my assets.
00:15:31.860 So that's a,
00:15:32.680 that's a very difficult challenge.
00:15:35.520 I will second another thing you said,
00:15:37.420 which is that you have to be,
00:15:39.480 you look at someone like Charlie Kirk,
00:15:41.000 who Jack was extremely close to.
00:15:42.440 I didn't know as deeply,
00:15:43.360 but I knew,
00:15:44.080 especially Echo Spark from Project Eritus,
00:15:45.920 Charlie,
00:15:46.680 and I became very close.
00:15:48.040 Charlie was there for me when that happened and lifted me up.
00:15:51.040 And I mean,
00:15:51.600 you have to,
00:15:51.920 you have to be a,
00:15:53.520 you know,
00:15:54.160 he wasn't an investigative reporter,
00:15:55.760 but he was an organizational entrepreneur.
00:15:56.960 You have to be a good speaker.
00:16:00.440 You have to be a good fundraiser.
00:16:02.280 You have to be a good chief executive officer.
00:16:04.600 You have to be a good entrepreneur.
00:16:06.300 You have to be not a hypocrite.
00:16:08.260 You have to be a good Christian.
00:16:09.680 You have to be a good father.
00:16:11.020 You have to be a good husband.
00:16:12.680 You have to inspire people.
00:16:14.480 You have to give a good public presentation.
00:16:16.820 I mean,
00:16:17.100 no one can do all these things,
00:16:18.760 but that's what you have to do to,
00:16:21.480 to be an independent journalist.
00:16:23.220 If you lap any one of those things,
00:16:25.100 you will fail in my opinion.
00:16:26.960 And,
00:16:27.760 you know,
00:16:29.740 can they find someone else to do what he does?
00:16:32.260 I don't think so.
00:16:33.280 I suppose they can,
00:16:34.120 they can have a contest for,
00:16:35.560 you know,
00:16:35.800 a couple of young guys to go on campuses.
00:16:37.440 The problem is you will not find the ethics.
00:16:40.760 You will find the talent,
00:16:42.440 but you won't find the integrity.
00:16:44.320 And the hardest thing about what I do is to find people with the integrity.
00:16:51.000 It is so,
00:16:51.720 it's such a cliche,
00:16:52.640 isn't it?
00:16:53.180 Ethics.
00:16:53.740 And what does it mean?
00:16:55.300 It means that you have no price.
00:16:58.720 You have no price.
00:17:00.520 It's such a hard thing to find.
00:17:02.500 And then to also find someone with the talent,
00:17:04.400 forget about it.
00:17:05.560 One in a hundred million.
00:17:07.420 Not one in a hundred million.
00:17:08.960 Right.
00:17:09.940 Um,
00:17:10.840 so I think it's a problem that we have all this opinion.
00:17:15.140 I,
00:17:15.300 I agree that you need opinion,
00:17:16.820 but when there's only opinion,
00:17:18.880 it's toxic.
00:17:20.280 It's,
00:17:20.620 it's,
00:17:20.900 it's radioactive people.
00:17:24.160 So,
00:17:24.680 so that's the bad news.
00:17:25.540 Here's the good news.
00:17:27.000 Um,
00:17:27.600 because I am,
00:17:28.200 I am an optimist for reasons I will tell you right now.
00:17:31.420 Um,
00:17:32.300 I,
00:17:32.540 I just did this story last week about,
00:17:34.160 I saw it,
00:17:34.680 but I went undercover and I wore this ridiculous wig,
00:17:37.740 which was from Amazon.
00:17:41.000 And you might say,
00:17:42.180 why would count them?
00:17:43.720 How would they not recognize you?
00:17:45.320 Okay.
00:17:46.620 You guys,
00:17:47.720 you guys,
00:17:48.580 you literally said this walking in here.
00:17:50.560 It's like,
00:17:50.800 you don't understand.
00:17:52.460 These people,
00:17:53.340 they're not held accountable for anything.
00:17:55.920 And I was,
00:17:56.620 I did that intentionally.
00:17:57.760 I did that intentionally.
00:17:58.800 Number one,
00:17:59.100 I did it because they're so incompetent and corrupt.
00:18:02.640 I wanted to demonstrate that.
00:18:04.280 And number two,
00:18:05.220 I wanted to show you that you can do it too.
00:18:07.180 What's your excuse?
00:18:08.860 Cause I get from every,
00:18:09.740 well,
00:18:09.880 I'm so famous in Tennessee that I,
00:18:11.980 well,
00:18:12.040 I'm always reckon.
00:18:13.040 Well,
00:18:13.260 I'm James O'Keefe.
00:18:14.760 And I still go undercover with the FBI,
00:18:16.700 the state department,
00:18:17.540 the people on the federal,
00:18:18.420 and they don't recognize me.
00:18:21.900 So,
00:18:24.680 so when you have an excuse,
00:18:27.300 it better be good.
00:18:29.460 Of course,
00:18:30.160 when you were actually going to the psychology of it,
00:18:32.080 it's just been,
00:18:32.620 it's,
00:18:32.920 it's an excuse for their own inaction.
00:18:35.440 Thank you.
00:18:37.360 Thank you,
00:18:37.840 Shannon Flynn for the invitation.
00:18:40.140 For those of you who don't know me,
00:18:41.500 my name is Eva Flardinger-Broek.
00:18:43.960 I do not expect you to repeat that very long Dutch last name.
00:18:48.580 I'm absolutely honored to be here.
00:18:50.860 And I'm listening,
00:18:51.580 as I'm listening to both of you,
00:18:53.660 to Lara and to you,
00:18:54.860 James,
00:18:56.020 I once aware,
00:18:57.880 I'm extremely aware of how different our situation in Europe is.
00:19:03.180 as much as I love hearing you guys talk about how you should do better,
00:19:07.940 how,
00:19:08.400 you know,
00:19:08.780 you should work together.
00:19:12.180 Today,
00:19:12.900 you know,
00:19:13.300 they talk about influences.
00:19:14.860 These are influences.
00:19:16.720 And,
00:19:17.100 uh,
00:19:17.320 they're friends of mine.
00:19:19.100 Jack,
00:19:19.860 where's Jack?
00:19:21.600 Jack?
00:19:22.580 He's done a great job.
00:19:23.980 You know,
00:19:27.160 you should work together.
00:19:28.740 How there is too much opinion.
00:19:31.280 It's great.
00:19:32.100 You have so much standards,
00:19:33.380 so many standards for yourselves,
00:19:34.740 but we in Europe,
00:19:36.900 man,
00:19:38.300 we have a lot of work to do to even get to that point.
00:19:42.600 And still,
00:19:42.860 I'm from the Netherlands.
00:19:45.660 So I'm from a very small country in Europe.
00:19:48.800 And I'm sorry if I get a bit technical here,
00:19:51.640 but I'll just sketch out our media landscape for you for a second.
00:19:55.340 So you understand our situation.
00:19:58.460 We don't have not even one media outlet that pretends to be right way.
00:20:05.700 Not one.
00:20:06.440 So there's no,
00:20:07.780 there's no Fox news,
00:20:09.440 right?
00:20:10.240 We don't have institutional media.
00:20:13.480 We don't have legacy media that even pretend to represent their rights from the center.
00:20:18.980 It doesn't exist.
00:20:20.840 So go figure what our legacy media landscape looks like.
00:20:26.880 And then think about how important the rise of independent media voices in our countries really is.
00:20:34.340 And that process is also going way too slow because we don't have a Lara.
00:20:41.500 We don't have a James O'Keefe.
00:20:43.060 We don't have a Jack the Sobek. 0.56
00:20:44.520 If we did,
00:20:45.960 the situation wouldn't be as gayer as the one that we are in today.
00:20:50.920 And now I personally,
00:20:53.460 I'm on X and I'm on Instagram.
00:20:56.060 And it's funny because listening to you guys,
00:20:57.900 I realized that I have never called myself a journalist.
00:21:00.980 Haven't ever called myself a journalist because I never have called,
00:21:04.180 a journalist by the people who call themselves journalists.
00:21:07.180 Even though I think,
00:21:09.480 I hope I have more objective reporting and I do more objective reporting than they ever will.
00:21:16.600 I also think that at this point,
00:21:18.780 I might have more reach and influence than they combined do,
00:21:24.100 especially online.
00:21:25.020 Yet,
00:21:26.180 again,
00:21:27.280 I call myself a political commentator because I do openly voice my opinions.
00:21:33.680 Instead,
00:21:34.580 you know,
00:21:35.100 I'd actually do.
00:21:36.200 And I acknowledge that I say,
00:21:37.960 look,
00:21:38.220 this is my analysis of the situation.
00:21:39.960 And my analysis of the situation in Europe is,
00:21:42.760 is that we are heading for utter and total destruction.
00:21:47.140 Europe,
00:21:47.360 as we know it,
00:21:48.580 and Europe,
00:21:49.340 as we have known it for centuries on end,
00:21:52.860 is coming to a rapid end.
00:21:56.940 We look at mass migration.
00:21:59.140 That's one of the subjects that I focus most on in my recording because it is underreported.
00:22:04.220 The statistics are skewed.
00:22:07.240 The consequences of mass migration,
00:22:10.060 impoverishments,
00:22:10.980 culture of decay,
00:22:12.740 they're lied about,
00:22:13.840 they're hidden,
00:22:14.280 even though we can all tell with our own eyes.
00:22:18.580 Those are the things that I try to bring to the forefront.
00:22:22.100 And of course,
00:22:22.640 that requires opinion.
00:22:24.200 That requires saying,
00:22:25.280 this is not good,
00:22:26.580 even though you would think that it's obvious for everyone.
00:22:29.580 But it's not.
00:22:30.900 And the problem that we face in Europe,
00:22:33.060 of course,
00:22:33.760 is that we have many different cultural identities.
00:22:37.500 We have many different languages,
00:22:38.900 many different countries.
00:22:39.840 That's something that we cherish.
00:22:41.380 That's something that we're proud of.
00:22:42.780 But it makes working together,
00:22:45.140 and it makes pointing out the similar issues that we are dealing with difficult
00:22:51.480 when it comes to these types of cases,
00:22:55.040 the rigs,
00:22:56.100 the assaults,
00:22:57.440 the murders that you are hearing about in Europe as a result of mass immigration.
00:23:02.120 They're happening on a daily basis,
00:23:04.100 but they're not collected by the legacy media.
00:23:08.160 They're not even rigging about.
00:23:09.600 And so what I try to do is highlight as often as I can what is happening.
00:23:16.080 And I truly feel like a broken record talking about these cases day in,
00:23:21.540 day out.
00:23:22.580 Rape of a 60-year-old girl there.
00:23:25.380 Murder of a 70-year-old boy there.
00:23:28.240 Even just bad assaults, right?
00:23:31.600 They usually don't even get published.
00:23:33.560 So I try to focus on that.
00:23:35.380 I try to give these people names.
00:23:37.560 I try to let people look.
00:23:39.120 This is a Senate issue.
00:23:40.780 This is not incidental.
00:23:42.300 And this is all by design.
00:23:46.440 Because we are still at that point.
00:23:48.220 We are still at the point where I have to tell people that over and over again.
00:23:53.980 And so this is for us,
00:23:56.580 I think one of the biggest challenges when it comes to independent media is that we,
00:24:01.340 of course,
00:24:01.820 we unite,
00:24:02.600 but we also have to fight DAF against the institutions that try to silence us.
00:24:07.340 because again,
00:24:09.160 let me allow me to go back to my small country for a moment,
00:24:12.500 the Netherlands.
00:24:13.520 We don't have freedom of speech the way that you do.
00:24:16.560 We don't have the first amendment.
00:24:18.440 I'm sure it's health.
00:24:19.520 Don't have a second amendment.
00:24:21.800 We have criminal codes that make it illegal to offend groups.
00:24:29.160 So if I say something that is offensive to a group,
00:24:34.640 which is weird,
00:24:35.780 right?
00:24:36.040 Because how do you offend the group?
00:24:37.820 How can a judge decide on behalf of a group that they are all collectively offended?
00:24:43.700 Well,
00:24:44.140 they do it.
00:24:45.080 They do it on the basis,
00:24:46.420 of course,
00:24:46.780 of sex.
00:24:47.580 They do it on the basis of race. 0.76
00:24:49.020 They do it on the basis of sexual preference,
00:24:52.280 religion,
00:24:52.640 and people actually get convicted for those types of hate crimes,
00:24:59.340 right?
00:24:59.580 Of hate speech.
00:25:01.320 And so speaking about the cases that I just mentioned to you,
00:25:05.580 the rapes,
00:25:06.220 the assaults,
00:25:06.940 the connection between mass immigration and crime,
00:25:09.820 the sacrificing of our children on the altar of mass migration,
00:25:13.880 that is and can be qualified as illegal hate speech,
00:25:19.120 and you can get sent to jail for it.
00:25:21.360 That's our situation.
00:25:23.780 So to tie this all back to independent media,
00:25:27.900 without X,
00:25:29.200 which is the platform that I use most,
00:25:32.140 we wouldn't even hear about half of these stories,
00:25:35.300 half this,
00:25:36.760 even an optimistic estimate,
00:25:38.860 I would say.
00:25:40.160 So that's where we are.
00:25:43.020 The independent journalists of Europe are on X.
00:25:45.200 That's the only place where we can voice our opinions somewhat safely,
00:25:49.000 but even X is being targeted by the European Union with the Digital Services Act.
00:25:54.480 I don't want to bore you with all of the details of that,
00:25:57.280 but it's a censorship act.
00:25:58.860 And it's a censorship act that is now official law in all European countries,
00:26:05.960 designed by unelected bureaucrats.
00:26:08.600 We don't have sovereignty.
00:26:11.280 Our democracy is an illusion.
00:26:13.400 It does not function.
00:26:14.900 A supranational organization decides for us what our laws are,
00:26:18.520 and what we are allowed and not allowed to say.
00:26:21.280 So once again,
00:26:22.440 I want to instill in you the urgency of the situation in Europe,
00:26:26.200 and how much you look to you in America,
00:26:28.640 and how much we need your help to get this message out there,
00:26:33.240 because we're fighting many monsters at the same time.
00:26:37.220 That's why I'm very thankful to be here.
00:26:39.060 Thank you so much.
00:26:50.300 So a couple weeks ago,
00:26:53.040 I went on CNN for the first time,
00:26:56.640 and I never thought I'd be in a situation
00:27:01.060 where CNN would be ever allowing me
00:27:05.480 to sort of talk about me enough and all of us.
00:27:11.240 And Jack, where is Jack?
00:27:14.280 Where is Jack?
00:27:16.600 Where is he?
00:27:17.880 Jack, I want to see you.
00:27:21.540 Great job, Jack.
00:27:23.000 Thank you.
00:27:23.760 What a job you do.
00:27:25.180 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:27:26.360 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad,
00:27:28.860 but we have guys,
00:27:30.220 and these are the guys who should be getting policemen.
00:27:35.240 Never thought I'd have the opportunity to be on,
00:27:37.400 and of course it was in the wake of Charlie's murder.
00:27:41.380 And the reporter, field journalist who came on,
00:27:44.560 not one of the anchors,
00:27:46.000 she was fine, totally fine, by the way.
00:27:48.080 And there was a question that they asked me,
00:27:50.240 and you know,
00:27:51.480 when you go into one of these interviews with anyone,
00:27:55.360 with any outlet,
00:27:56.060 with any journalism platform,
00:27:59.040 you have to think,
00:27:59.680 well, who am I speaking to, right?
00:28:01.060 Because all of the audiences are bifurcated now
00:28:03.700 and trifurcated and quadricated
00:28:06.540 because there's no one single monoculture,
00:28:10.360 mono audience.
00:28:11.580 Like,
00:28:11.820 Laura,
00:28:12.260 when you were on CBS,
00:28:13.460 you could,
00:28:13.940 you know,
00:28:14.120 60 Minutes used to set the tone for everyone.
00:28:17.420 It was the nation's leader in terms of stories,
00:28:20.640 in terms of news,
00:28:21.380 but now it's all totally separate.
00:28:24.020 Who you listen to determines your worldview,
00:28:27.380 determines your views,
00:28:29.080 and so you may hate your neighbors,
00:28:31.340 even though they might look like you,
00:28:33.020 they might sound like you,
00:28:34.340 they may go to the same schools that you do,
00:28:36.960 they shop at the same places that you do,
00:28:38.560 but you completely hate them
00:28:40.200 because you listen to a different form of media
00:28:42.140 and you take your worldview from them.
00:28:44.440 Of course,
00:28:44.680 you're not talking about any of this,
00:28:45.960 or I'm talking about the other side.
00:28:48.080 But,
00:28:48.340 so I know this is going out to CNN audiences,
00:28:51.080 which is a different group of people
00:28:52.180 that I usually speak to.
00:28:53.940 And I thought,
00:28:54.620 you know,
00:28:55.400 I wasn't really thinking about it at the time,
00:28:57.160 but I'm sure that
00:28:57.760 I'll be probably not going to be invited back.
00:29:01.500 And,
00:29:01.940 and I had a question about this,
00:29:04.240 and this is,
00:29:05.600 because two days after you were shopped,
00:29:06.760 and they,
00:29:09.680 they asked me a question.
00:29:11.140 We're,
00:29:11.560 we're in the turning point.
00:29:12.900 I just say building.
00:29:14.140 This is the first time I've been back to the building
00:29:15.820 since Char was murdered.
00:29:17.700 And my wife was,
00:29:19.360 you know,
00:29:19.620 sitting,
00:29:19.920 she's right there,
00:29:20.720 by the way.
00:29:21.360 Tanya is here today in support.
00:29:23.220 And thank you for being here,
00:29:23.980 John.
00:29:24.680 And,
00:29:25.340 and they said,
00:29:26.560 are we in a civil war?
00:29:29.980 Are we headed for a civil war?
00:29:32.280 And there was a real question.
00:29:33.760 And I think there was a question at the time of,
00:29:36.080 you know,
00:29:36.920 will this political violence beget more political violence?
00:29:41.520 And will this historic cycle that we've seen,
00:29:44.460 a downward cycle,
00:29:45.180 which is extremely dangerous,
00:29:46.480 will it play out again?
00:29:47.680 Is it playing out again right before our eyes?
00:29:51.260 And I,
00:29:51.880 I looked at her and I said,
00:29:53.240 we are seeing asymmetric civil warfare breaking out across the country.
00:30:00.080 And if you don't believe me,
00:30:02.060 go ask my friend because he's in a box right now.
00:30:05.520 For speaking truth,
00:30:07.480 Charlie Kirk wasn't murdered because he lied.
00:30:12.420 Charlie Kirk was murdered because he told the truth.
00:30:15.940 And he told the truth to people that never would have otherwise heard it.
00:30:20.360 And because they couldn't beat him in debate,
00:30:22.840 because they couldn't beat him on the facts,
00:30:25.020 because they couldn't beat him in terms of his reach,
00:30:27.780 which was growing exponentially every single day.
00:30:31.260 And they tried to silence her.
00:30:34.380 But let me tell you something.
00:30:35.820 They,
00:30:36.120 they are,
00:30:36.820 they absolutely failed because of all the people in this room,
00:30:40.460 because of all the people who saw what happened,
00:30:42.360 because of thousands upon thousands of students and young people,
00:30:46.740 new generations of Gen Z and even Gen Alpha,
00:30:49.760 if you can believe it or not,
00:30:51.060 that saw what happened are never going to forget the murder of Charlie Kirk.
00:30:56.680 But going out there into the modern public swear at the modern,
00:31:01.080 what could be more of the modern public swear than going on to Apollos Chambers
00:31:04.820 and debating all of these issues in public.
00:31:08.500 And I thought something that was really interesting that I've,
00:31:12.400 after this occurred to me recently,
00:31:13.580 because so I also,
00:31:15.600 in addition to working with Fernie,
00:31:16.860 I work with Postmillennial Human Events.
00:31:19.860 And our editor,
00:31:20.880 Njig Libby Emmons is also here with us. 1.00
00:31:23.100 And she does an incredible job every single day,
00:31:25.620 working in independent media to do the verification,
00:31:29.680 to do the truth,
00:31:31.000 to make sure that everything that gets put out is true.
00:31:34.100 And of course the media is very upset with us because not only do we have
00:31:37.300 White House passes now,
00:31:38.500 but we are now part of the new Pentagon press corps because they,
00:31:43.560 they didn't want to follow the rules.
00:31:46.220 So we had now replaced the legacy media inside the Pentagon.
00:31:50.820 And the New York times asked me yesterday,
00:31:53.520 he said,
00:31:53.980 you know,
00:31:54.220 how are you going to report?
00:31:55.340 And I said,
00:31:55.700 well,
00:31:55.800 I'm going to tell the truth.
00:31:57.240 And I know that's maybe radical for you guys here,
00:31:59.340 but we're just going to tell the truth about what's actually going on in,
00:32:02.980 in our government,
00:32:03.760 in the military,
00:32:04.460 in the national security base and everywhere,
00:32:06.880 the same way we do every single day,
00:32:08.840 the same way we always have.
00:32:09.900 But one of the,
00:32:11.020 one of the things that was kind of existential and interesting for us is that
00:32:15.200 we're,
00:32:15.480 we're in this situation now where we're,
00:32:18.020 we're doing our job every day,
00:32:19.400 try to report the news,
00:32:20.420 tell people what's going on,
00:32:21.500 tell the truth.
00:32:22.180 But in this case,
00:32:24.160 our,
00:32:24.400 our colleague,
00:32:25.580 our friend,
00:32:26.880 our,
00:32:27.500 the leader of turning point is the,
00:32:30.600 his death is a murder.
00:32:33.140 It's the news.
00:32:33.880 And we're following the case.
00:32:35.620 We're following all of the updates.
00:32:37.120 And there was this buried line that came out.
00:32:39.760 I think it was on last Friday in one of the filings of,
00:32:43.340 and we're not going to get too technical,
00:32:45.520 but this will,
00:32:47.480 this will illustrate,
00:32:48.200 I think what we're all talking about here.
00:32:50.800 The lawyers for Tyler Robinson,
00:32:53.420 the suspect,
00:32:54.340 just put up a client to say they want to ban Hanra's from a courtroom in the 0.60
00:33:00.940 Charlie Kirk murder fix.
00:33:04.320 And I thought about this and they said,
00:33:06.140 well,
00:33:06.240 we have,
00:33:06.520 we have to do it because of privacy.
00:33:08.380 So we have to do it because of privacy.
00:33:09.720 And,
00:33:10.000 and no,
00:33:10.580 I have a,
00:33:11.380 obviously emotional reaction to this,
00:33:12.860 but I thought about the issue,
00:33:14.300 right?
00:33:14.840 The right to privacy.
00:33:15.920 This is a right,
00:33:16.740 right?
00:33:16.840 This is a right that we want in a free society.
00:33:20.440 But then Libby Evans wrote some.
00:33:22.400 I want,
00:33:22.820 I want her to put a spot back on her first act because it was so beautiful.
00:33:26.000 What she wrote.
00:33:27.280 She said,
00:33:28.380 Charlie Kirk didn't have a say in whether or not his murder would be public.
00:33:36.560 Only his assassin had a say in that.
00:33:40.180 And therefore Charlie Kirk's trial of the murder of Charlie Kirk should also be done in public the same way that his murder was.
00:33:51.520 So human events just file a submission with that port room and Utah completely opposing this ban and saying that we are going to come down and oppose this.
00:34:02.060 We're going to get law lawyers involved if we have to,
00:34:04.360 to make sure that everyone has a full open and accounting of the situation,
00:34:09.520 every single piece of evidence.
00:34:11.520 And we got human events,
00:34:13.180 the post millennial.
00:34:14.060 I'm happy to announce court TB just came in and is also supporting the effort now.
00:34:19.760 And so this is growing.
00:34:21.580 It's going to continue to grow because the public has a right to know the public has a right to know everything.
00:34:28.560 And this,
00:34:29.320 and I thought about this and I said,
00:34:31.680 you know what?
00:34:32.780 This is the difference between a free society and a closed society.
00:34:37.620 And Ava,
00:34:38.000 the society that you're talking about,
00:34:40.760 I don't know what you say.
00:34:43.000 That's,
00:34:43.400 it doesn't sound very free.
00:34:44.600 It doesn't sound very open at all.
00:34:46.440 And the difference is because when you say you have a courtroom in your port,
00:34:53.560 you have your,
00:34:54.380 you have your lawyer,
00:34:55.520 you have your prosecutor,
00:34:56.960 you have your defense,
00:34:58.240 you have the judge,
00:34:59.500 but when you have cameras rolling and you have the doors open,
00:35:05.600 and even here in federal court today,
00:35:07.060 and as,
00:35:08.400 as general Flynn knows,
00:35:09.560 the federal courtroom does have the ability to members of the public to go and
00:35:14.160 attend.
00:35:14.880 This is one of our oldest traditions.
00:35:17.580 And it is one of our best traditions that justice should be done in public.
00:35:23.220 Justice should be done before the people.
00:35:25.320 And if you have something to tell that you shouldn't be able to hide it,
00:35:29.140 you should put it out because that is a check on the entire system by the people in a free society.
00:35:37.000 And this very transparency is the line.
00:35:41.120 It's the absolute line that you draw between a free society and a totalitarian society.
00:35:48.080 Because a free,
00:35:49.080 in a free society,
00:35:50.240 who has the power?
00:35:51.380 The people.
00:35:52.360 The people have the power and the people had a right to know.
00:35:55.900 And all of these issues come into bear there because you think,
00:35:59.260 of course the public has a right to know.
00:36:01.940 Of course the public should have a check on the system.
00:36:03.980 Because the public ultimately,
00:36:06.340 ultimately is the backstop of every single system of media,
00:36:11.360 of power,
00:36:12.160 journalism,
00:36:12.980 government,
00:36:13.720 of corporate power in the entire world.
00:36:15.760 You are nothing without the people.
00:36:19.040 Those are the people who should be empowered.
00:36:21.120 And if we are going to be truth tellers,
00:36:22.880 and if we are going to continue to fight for the legacy of Charlie Kerr,
00:36:26.940 then we have to do the same thing that he always did.
00:36:29.860 Empower people.
00:36:31.240 Share the information with people.
00:36:33.100 Share truth with people.
00:36:34.460 Share his platform with people.
00:36:36.180 Like he did every single day.
00:36:38.860 He allowed me even onto his platform for some reason.
00:36:42.580 And he would allow,
00:36:44.200 all of us,
00:36:44.920 all of us would go to turning point events and be up there.
00:36:48.320 And,
00:36:48.400 you know,
00:36:49.080 James would have these elaborate musical performances.
00:36:52.980 And,
00:36:53.120 but it's,
00:36:55.280 it was,
00:36:55.540 it was multimedia and push the boundaries and interact with people in ways
00:36:59.080 that you never call it possible.
00:37:00.540 That's what Charlie was all about.
00:37:01.840 And another piece that I think that I've,
00:37:04.200 I've come to,
00:37:05.580 I've come to appreciate a little bit more was that Charlie never lost sight,
00:37:09.860 even in the rise of digital,
00:37:11.920 even in the rise of social media.
00:37:13.420 And of course,
00:37:13.780 Charlie was on every social media dominated every single platform he ever even
00:37:17.980 thought about.
00:37:18.680 He never lost sight of trying to connect with people in person,
00:37:24.500 in the physical space on those campuses.
00:37:27.740 And when he would bring someone up to the front and he would always say this,
00:37:30.940 and we saw JD and Erica were down at university of Mississippi,
00:37:34.300 old miss last night,
00:37:35.220 10,000 people came out last night,
00:37:37.600 by the way,
00:37:38.360 we had 7,000 in Montana.
00:37:40.060 We had Nebraska,
00:37:41.260 we had Indiana thousands upon thousands,
00:37:43.460 biggest events we've ever had,
00:37:45.260 but Charlie didn't care about the numbers.
00:37:47.620 If there was someone in front of them,
00:37:49.160 he would care about that person.
00:37:51.020 And for that moment,
00:37:52.540 he would even tell people,
00:37:53.480 say,
00:37:53.640 Hey,
00:37:54.040 Hey,
00:37:54.880 don't heckle.
00:37:55.900 Don't cut them off.
00:37:57.300 Don't yell.
00:37:58.120 I want to connect with this person individually in real life,
00:38:02.220 not through a screen.
00:38:08.480 Jack is a great guy.
00:38:10.080 He's written a fantastic book.
00:38:11.720 Everybody's talking about it.
00:38:12.940 Go get it.
00:38:14.100 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
00:38:18.020 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great.
00:38:20.560 And I think in so many ways,
00:38:25.260 this is the,
00:38:25.860 this is the negative side,
00:38:27.220 right?
00:38:27.700 Of independent media and social media,
00:38:29.300 because when we do things through the virtual space,
00:38:34.160 when we do things on these little pieces of glass that we carry around in our
00:38:37.000 hands and in our pockets every day,
00:38:38.860 we lose sight of the fact that there's a real person on the other side,
00:38:42.140 right?
00:38:42.380 Before AI takes over,
00:38:43.580 of course.
00:38:44.380 And that a person who shot Charlie Kirk didn't think of Charlie Kirk as a
00:38:50.400 real person.
00:38:51.320 This was,
00:38:51.800 this was someone.
00:38:52.440 And,
00:38:52.680 and,
00:38:53.020 you know,
00:38:53.620 assuming that this,
00:38:55.100 yeah,
00:38:55.360 this is correct.
00:38:56.080 And this is the suspect.
00:38:56.960 This is someone who,
00:38:57.920 when you look at how disassociated,
00:38:59.860 this young man was,
00:39:01.440 who Eric for dope forgave in an incredible act of Christian charity.
00:39:05.320 But you look at how disassociated he was from reality.
00:39:08.220 He was someone who was involved guests in a transsexual relationship with a
00:39:12.860 man.
00:39:13.620 He is someone who was involved with extreme pornography,
00:39:17.220 uh,
00:39:17.660 and which,
00:39:18.200 which included,
00:39:18.780 by the way,
00:39:19.520 uh,
00:39:20.640 transhumanist pornography,
00:39:22.760 where he was watching simulators that allowed him to pretend he was,
00:39:27.000 uh,
00:39:27.820 a furry.
00:39:29.340 And so he would,
00:39:30.260 he would participate as a,
00:39:31.540 this sort of half animal,
00:39:33.840 half human hybrid performing extreme sexual acts on other furries.
00:39:40.380 And this was a game that he played in his era of time.
00:39:42.780 So total disassociation with reality and throwing himself into this internet
00:39:48.120 based personality.
00:39:51.180 This is a real threat.
00:39:52.800 This is the,
00:39:53.360 one of the biggest threats of our time is that if we forget about the real
00:39:57.620 world,
00:39:58.080 if we forget about reality,
00:39:59.580 if we forget about truth,
00:40:00.900 if we forget about meeting one another as an individual and totally throw
00:40:05.400 ourselves into these internet based identities,
00:40:08.200 which are false identities,
00:40:10.120 which are not godly ordained identities,
00:40:13.360 which are not identities that are provided to us by our creator.
00:40:17.540 Then that is where the devil will steep in.
00:40:20.220 That is where the demonic will seep in.
00:40:22.040 And that is the trap.
00:40:24.000 And that is the biggest trap of all.
00:40:25.480 And that's why I realized that Charlie focused so much on bringing people
00:40:29.940 back to the physical space and bringing people together.
00:40:34.020 And I'll end with this,
00:40:35.720 that I realized too,
00:40:37.960 that in,
00:40:38.800 because of what Libby wrote,
00:40:39.880 the fact that Charlie was murdered on live stream.
00:40:43.080 Think about that.
00:40:44.400 It wasn't just an attack on Charlie.
00:40:46.800 It wasn't just an attack on Western culture and Western civilization.
00:40:51.280 It was even an attack on independent media,
00:40:55.020 the fact and everyone who consumes it.
00:40:57.160 Because if you were watching that live stream,
00:40:59.380 and I don't even have to ask people to raise their hands.
00:41:03.180 I know you've all seen the video.
00:41:04.440 I know you've all seen it.
00:41:06.100 And I know that Charlie's kids will see it one day,
00:41:07.880 this little girl and this little boy,
00:41:09.220 who are so young,
00:41:10.120 they have no idea what's going on.
00:41:11.820 It's an attack on us and it was designed to be an attack on us through social media.
00:41:20.760 So we need to become wary as well when we are consuming this,
00:41:25.640 that these are new attack vectors on all of us,
00:41:29.100 that we need to build not just physical defenses of,
00:41:33.200 but psychological and spiritual defenses of as well.
00:41:37.000 And that's why everything that Charlie did and what we're trying to do even more and more
00:41:41.940 is to put God at the center of every single thing that we do,
00:41:46.600 because nothing that comes from God can be bad,
00:41:49.660 and everything that comes from Satan is.
00:41:54.720 Wow.
00:41:57.780 Unbelievable.
00:41:59.340 Earlier, and you guys weren't here,
00:42:00.900 I listed off a group of character traits of what I felt from these people that I have gotten to know
00:42:08.240 over the many years,
00:42:09.280 and one of them has to do with courage and passion,
00:42:13.180 and you saw that up here,
00:42:14.620 and I know that the deal of a couple other people,
00:42:16.400 but those that have already spoken today,
00:42:19.220 but this idea of unifying under some umbrella,
00:42:24.160 and really the umbrella is our ability to be able to speak freely about what we want,
00:42:28.080 what we believe in, right, our country, our faith, right,
00:42:31.960 the freedoms that we cherish, that many, many have sacrificed for.
00:42:36.740 But one of the things, and Lara is actually,
00:42:41.180 there's a reason why I'm up here today,
00:42:43.740 and we're here today, because her and I, a couple of years ago,
00:42:46.460 she, and she probably didn't even remember the conversation, but I do,
00:42:50.620 we talk about figuring out how do we grasp what has happened in the world of the media,
00:42:58.660 and we had a long conversation about the Washington, D.C. Correspondent Bureau,
00:43:02.980 and, you know, the failure of that organization, frankly,
00:43:05.680 because they'd given up the truth.
00:43:08.900 And so the main points, and they just talked about it,
00:43:14.100 it's to be truthful, be accurate, and be responsible.
00:43:17.280 I mean, if you think about that, be yourself, right?
00:43:20.780 Use good common sense.
00:43:22.260 And so, you know, I know everybody's got busy lives here.
00:43:26.400 I particularly appreciate you guys being here and being part of this
00:43:31.040 and doing what you're doing,
00:43:32.720 because what you're seeing is this is a tectonic shift in the world of information, okay?
00:43:43.220 And that's a world that I am very familiar with.
00:43:46.340 And we are going through this very, very historic move
00:43:50.440 that is causing the world to go in a different direction.
00:43:54.200 And Jack, we're not really going to talk too much about it today.
00:43:57.420 That'll be something down the road is artificial intelligence.
00:44:00.440 And he highlighted it a little bit, you know,
00:44:02.440 the world of artificial intelligence, right?
00:44:04.340 I mean, and so that's another aspect of being able to discern.
00:44:10.300 You know, you used the word, and we've heard the word discernment,
00:44:12.940 and Larry used it as well, this idea about discernment,
00:44:16.220 which is take it to me, I just take it as take a deep breath,
00:44:19.960 make a step back, you know,
00:44:22.200 understand what it is that you're hearing and seeing,
00:44:25.420 what is it that are, you know, what values you have
00:44:28.000 that kind of will synthesize all that information together,
00:44:30.920 and then respond, right?
00:44:33.240 Instead of, like you were talking about,
00:44:34.880 we're very sort of, we're fluid online.
00:44:37.200 Sometimes we repost things, you know,
00:44:38.740 we do things that are, you know,
00:44:40.340 they're just to make us feel good.
00:44:41.780 But actually, we are going to face trials here, right?
00:44:47.300 We're going to face trials here, I know, in our country.
00:44:49.920 We're going to face trials here in the coming weeks,
00:44:52.780 coming months, and we don't know.
00:44:55.340 But when we do, it's this body,
00:44:58.500 because the other side of what we're facing
00:45:01.440 is what Eva talked about. 0.72
00:45:04.100 And what we heard earlier, you know, from Ukraine.
00:45:08.400 I mean, the other side of what we're talking about,
00:45:11.180 it doesn't exist.
00:45:12.540 Freedom doesn't exist, right?
00:45:15.300 And I've done all over the world, and I'm telling you,
00:45:17.360 there's no actual, I'd tell pastors, I'd tell pastors,
00:45:19.900 look, you ought to be talking about politics
00:45:22.380 in our country from the pulpit,
00:45:24.500 because the only reason you can talk from the pulpit
00:45:26.900 about your religion is because there's something
00:45:28.980 called the Constitution.
00:45:31.160 So you can't, you know, like, let's get with it.
00:45:34.120 You know, so I know there's little things,
00:45:36.180 and Trump actually did us all a favor with, you know,
00:45:39.260 kind of minimizing the Johnson Act.
00:45:42.380 So that's helpful.
00:45:44.060 But, you know, I always talked about it,
00:45:46.000 and Don talked about it with what we're already seeing
00:45:48.860 in the United Kingdom, you know, in the Netherlands,
00:45:52.500 Italy, I mean, across the world, Ukraine.
00:45:56.900 And trying to figure out, because things happen,
00:46:00.660 and now all of a sudden, you know,
00:46:02.240 they begin to happen here.
00:46:04.220 I don't know where we're going to end up.
00:46:05.580 I don't know where we're going to end up.
00:46:06.860 But without fighters, without courageous fighters,
00:46:09.200 and that's kind of, you know, all of you
00:46:11.180 that are in this space, right?
00:46:13.260 There's courage, there's passion,
00:46:14.620 there's entrepreneurial spirit, there's having that, right?
00:46:17.380 It's doing the right thing.
00:46:19.740 And I forget which one of you talked about,
00:46:22.860 oh, James did.
00:46:24.520 Very, very powerful.
00:46:25.860 If you didn't catch it, you know?
00:46:27.380 He basically said Psalm 23, right?
00:46:30.720 Yea, that I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
00:46:32.900 I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
00:46:35.580 Right?
00:46:36.280 I mean, I've said this before,
00:46:38.900 and I'm stealing a little bit of time here.
00:46:42.500 Remember, this country, I used to talk,
00:46:45.420 and I've done it for the last number of years,
00:46:48.120 I've lived it.
00:46:49.640 We're not on the precipice.
00:46:52.080 We are in the valley of the shadow of death.
00:46:54.560 And the way I describe it,
00:46:56.320 as I say, we have two choices.
00:46:58.160 That's it.
00:46:58.880 Not 50 choices.
00:47:00.540 You have two.
00:47:01.660 One, you can sell your soul, okay?
00:47:04.600 You can go for the bright light, shiny thing, right?
00:47:07.700 Or you can take the very difficult path,
00:47:11.100 which is a very dim light,
00:47:13.900 and it's a long journey out of that's about it, okay?
00:47:18.020 And I'm getting chills because I have been there.
00:47:20.640 And when you think about just these four,
00:47:23.680 and of course, you know,
00:47:24.580 others that we've had here represented already,
00:47:26.780 and some of you,
00:47:28.100 but these are people who have been in that valley,
00:47:32.080 and it's like, you know, like my mother would say,
00:47:34.240 get off your knees and get out there.
00:47:37.840 Go do something, right?
00:47:38.860 And so these are people that are warriors,
00:47:41.560 fighters in that valley.
00:47:42.800 And I am so grateful for you guys
00:47:45.920 for taking the time and just being here,
00:47:48.740 all right, and everything that you're doing.
00:47:49.980 So guys, bring your heart to us.
00:47:52.480 And remember, we're winning.
00:47:54.580 They are losing.
00:47:59.640 Thank you.
00:48:00.260 You
