Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - Pres. Trump Calls For Unconditional Surrender From Iran - How Will Iran Respond？

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, it's Jack. I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.

00:00:09.260 So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends.

00:00:16.640 Make sure they're all going and downloading as well, because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.

00:00:22.380 Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're only going to do so much more.

00:00:29.300 Let's get it.

00:00:33.660 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:42.780 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:49.500 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:52.520 Christ is king.

00:00:54.080 Congressman Tony Gonzalez will not seek re-election. He is dropping out of the runoff

00:00:59.820 race. This all comes just one day after Gonzalez admitted to the affair with his former staffer,

00:01:06.200 Regina Santos-Aviles, on the Joe Pag show. Sources tell CBS News the U.S. military used

00:01:11.300 Claude for its attack on Iran over the weekend. Now, the Pentagon's ongoing use of Anthropik's

00:01:17.200 AI model comes despite a falling out with the company over its refusal to grant the military

00:01:23.340 unrestricted access to the technology. Now, hours after the Trump administration

00:01:28.520 ditched Anthropic over the dispute, OpenAI swooped in and struck its own deal with the

00:01:33.920 Pentagon. Now, the details of that agreement appear to be changing. After facing backlash,

00:01:39.880 CEO Sam Altman says he's working with the government to, quote, make some additions.

00:01:44.680 We're in very good shape now. I want to let you know that and we will continue forward.

00:01:48.620 but it's a great display of military strength. Kurdish dissident groups based in Iraq are

00:01:55.480 preparing to potentially join the ongoing fight against Iran. This is according to the Associated

00:02:00.600 Press. A Kurdish official told the news agency some of their forces have moved near the Iranian

00:02:06.380 border and are on standby. Should Iranian and Iraqi Kurdish groups become involved in the war,

00:02:12.340 it would mark the first entry of a significant ground force. Officials say executives from

00:02:17.320 defense contractors are set to visit the White House. They say the gathering is to talk about

00:02:21.960 ramping up production as the war continues. President Trump says no deal with Iran short

00:02:27.440 of what he calls an unconditional surrender. There will be no deal with Iran except 0.98

00:02:33.060 unconditional surrender. After that and the selection of a great and acceptable leader, 0.99

00:02:38.320 we and many of our wonderful and brave allies and partners will work tirelessly to bring Iran back

00:02:43.700 from the brink of destruction. This just coming in here from Truth Social, as we did hear President

00:02:48.140 Trump saying he wants to have a say in who the next leader will be and that Khamenei's son is

00:02:54.200 an unacceptable pick. All right, and ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of

00:03:00.300 Human Events Daily. Today is March 6, 2026. Anno Domine. President Trump now this morning calling

00:03:10.180 for unconditional surrender of Iran's forces, Iran's regime, of course, calling for not

00:03:18.560 only full regime change, but a new leader of Iran to make with a total change of the

00:03:25.840 Islamic Republic.

00:03:26.800 President Trump, of course, focused on changing this.

00:03:29.580 Also talked about the potential for looking at Cuba for a new operation, potentially a

00:03:36.040 new deal, a new regime change, or a new situation there.

00:03:40.180 Opening up and reestablishing diplomatic ties, however, with Venezuela on the same day.

00:03:45.660 Also, we've seen reports about the reestablishment of U.S. to Venezuela direct flights from Florida.

00:03:53.480 So, you know, really seeing a model with Venezuela that where very quickly we saw the Operation Maduro, which just a couple of weeks ago, now to the resumption of diplomatic ties.

00:04:05.200 Could this be a model for Iran?

00:04:08.000 Could this be a setup whereby in the United States is able to see with a new leader, new leadership in Iran, an ability to have these relations, these tensions, these operations lead to a better place, not only for the United States, but for also the people of Iran and the world?

00:04:29.940 What have we also seen since then? Look, Iran has struck the U.S. base in Kuwait. We saw fires taking place over there. Patriot systems, tankers, Iran also, of course, losing their Iranian drone carrier as the U.S. attacks on tankers also heat up.

00:04:46.480 So we're seeing both sides target the economic situation, both looking to impose those economic financial hardships on each other.

00:04:57.260 Multiple explosions outside of Shiraz, where an Iranian army ammunition depot near Bushir was hit.

00:05:05.460 Of course, the Bushir is also the site of Iran's nuclear power plant.

00:05:10.380 We also know Israeli forces struck S-300 launchers in the Isfahan area and multiple strikes carried out on Tehran itself, particularly on the Parchin military industrial complex, the IRGC's Paran base, the 5th Intelligence Police base, the District 18 municipality building, the Waterfall Public Park and the headquarters of Iranian intelligence.

00:05:31.820 Also, we saw last night an Israeli F-35 fighter supposedly, we're told, shot down an Iranian fighter over Tehran.

00:05:40.440 This would be the first confirmed kill for the F-35 air platform in combat operations.

00:05:47.040 The F-22, I mentioned this the other day, still has yet to score a confirmed kill in any operation.

00:05:53.420 So the first for the F-35 platform, this being, of course, the variant purchased by Israel, scoring that kill over Tehran.

00:06:01.820 We haven't seen American pilots and American fighters operating over the skies of Tehran yet in this instance.

00:06:09.940 That is more what Israel is focused on with their Operation Rising Lion, whereas with Operation Epic Fury, you're seeing the more standoff attacks taking place.

00:06:21.300 We also saw Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating that drone attacks were carried out from Iranian territory.

00:06:28.040 Now, Iran, interestingly enough, is denying this. And so real questions as to whether or not this was militia that set that off, as well, these real questions about the Kurds in Western Iran will, or I should say in on the border of Western Iran on Iraqi territory, will they be sending this ground force, which has been much discussed, will they be sending that ground force into Iran?

00:06:51.480 Qatar also reported shooting down two Iranian Su-24 bombers from approaching Al-Adid Air Base.

00:06:58.540 So the United States Air Base in Qatar facing a lot of attacks.

00:07:02.700 And then, of course, seeing a lot.

00:07:05.340 We're seeing a lot about questions about attacks on Abu Dhabi, UAE, and Dubai.

00:07:12.020 Human Events Daily, Jack Posobiec.

00:07:13.620 We'll be back with so much more after this.

00:07:21.480 Ended our way and our golden age has just begun.

00:08:59.520 All right, very excited to have this next guest

00:09:02.860 on the program.

00:09:03.760 It's been a while, but we're having him back on

00:09:06.100 because we need to go through everything to run

00:09:09.560 with someone who'd know better than to do it

00:09:12.540 than Mike Benz from the Foundation for Freedom Online.

00:09:16.360 Benz, how are you?

00:09:17.300 Hey, great, Jack. How are you doing?

00:09:20.620 So, you know, this has been something where we know that all the way back to Operation Ajax, all the way back to World War II, CIA, MI6, Western powers have really focused on Iran as a country where we've tried to install pro-U.S. government.

00:09:42.000 and of course at the same time seen Islamic radicals, seen pro-Soviet types take over in

00:09:49.820 the past. When we look at what's going on with the Iranian regime right now, how would you say

00:09:56.000 that history plays into what we're seeing take place on the ground today? 0.99

00:10:01.880 Well, it's an inextricable part of it. The fact is we are trying to accomplish regime change

00:10:09.140 and this was something that we tried to do in 1953 it was done at that point you're you're

00:10:17.320 correct to point out that that point that was a joint u.s uk operation and notably the uk is on

00:10:24.440 the other side of it this time there's a there's a pretty significant dispute happening right now

00:10:29.920 between the U.S. and U.K. over the U.K. posture around what's just transpired.

00:10:38.260 But at that point in 1953, we installed a pro-U.S. regime in Iran that was precipitated by the Iranian attempt to nationalize Anglo-British petroleum and several other matters.

00:10:54.380 that Shah regime lasted from 1953 to 1979.

00:10:59.220 At that point, the Iranian revolution happened

00:11:02.680 at a time that Jimmy Carter had decimated the CIA.

00:11:07.520 So that set off a new era.

00:11:12.400 Pardon if there's background noise.

00:11:14.380 That set off a new era of a national security state

00:11:17.440 in the United States after the 1979 revolution. 0.89

00:11:21.540 And what you're dealing with fundamentally here is that there is mean reversion back to what the Shiite Muslim population there wants without very heavy CIA, U.S. military, USAID support. 0.71

00:11:41.540 There was a pretty savage secret intelligence state in Iran during those periods of American effective occupation. 0.72

00:11:53.000 There was the Savak, there was a pretty famous heavy hand that was used to suppress the, unfortunately, organic will of the people of Iran for some sort of Islamic state.

00:12:13.940 My concern about what's happening here is I'm concerned that the scale of the protests has been overstated.

00:12:24.940 stated you have a basically 95 shia population and it you know at about 90 million people that's

00:12:35.620 about 80 some million shiite muslim folks at who are supportive of a shiite muslim state

00:12:46.400 What we have here is basically a minority that we've been supporting, and that minority will not be able to rule without a permanent stability apparatus installed.

00:13:01.400 installed. So even in the best case scenario of a regime change, you are still talking about

00:13:07.240 decades or centuries of internal meddling and suppression in order to stop mean reversion back

00:13:17.900 to, I mean, unless you basically try to eradicate an entire religion of a quarter billion people,

00:13:26.240 the Shiite faith around the world, and knocking out their key religious figure,

00:13:36.620 in addition to all the assassinations, what we've bit off here is not a small amount to chew. 0.97

00:13:51.640 No, I think that's exactly right.

00:13:53.160 And when you're talking about a country of 90 million people, this is a country that's far larger than Afghanistan.

00:13:58.500 It's far larger than Iraq.

00:14:00.160 This would be the largest country the United States has attempted this in in the past couple of decades.

00:14:06.680 Now, at the same time, I have seen a lot of people point this out, and I want to get your thoughts on it.

00:14:12.940 This is actually happening at a time when the Iranian regime is certainly at its weakest in the past 47 years.

00:14:20.500 Its proxies have been largely decimated.

00:14:22.600 They've lost their ally in Syria in terms of Bashar al-Assad.

00:14:27.100 Russia, of course, their major partner and major supporter, has been bogged down in Ukraine with those operations.

00:14:34.520 So not to say that it's going to be easy, but if there were a time to do this, this would actually be the moment.

00:14:42.520 Well, that's why it was done.

00:14:45.280 It wasn't done because there was an imminent threat in that sense.

00:14:49.900 It was done because there was an imminent opportunity. 0.96

00:14:52.600 Syria is gone. Bashar al-Assad, Hamas is decapitated. Hezbollah is literally decapitated. 0.71

00:15:02.240 Iran was so weak in late 2024 that it was one of the—Iran's weakness at that time,

00:15:11.980 post the Israeli offensive after October 7th, that it was unable to prop up Assad against the

00:15:19.440 CIA and Turkish-backed moderate rebels, so to speak, in Syria. It is undoubtedly true that 1.00

00:15:27.300 they are at their weakest, so to speak. It certainly is. That being said, you have a

00:15:42.600 situation where, and I want to be clear about this with everybody, that the Iranian regime

00:15:47.380 is extremely repressive. We just saw them take out thousands, and we'll leave it there.

00:15:53.100 At the lower end, I've seen people say 5,000. At the upper end, 35,000 of these protesters

00:15:59.020 just a couple of months ago, and that was the besiege. That was the IRGC. And when those

00:16:04.860 individuals are recruited, they are recruited specifically for their fealty to the regime,

00:16:11.100 for their loyalty to radical Islam and specifically in this case, radical Shia Islam. So, uh, you know,

00:16:19.120 the distinct sect from the Sunnis doesn't mean they won't work with Sunnis like Hamas, but at the same 0.96

00:16:24.380 time, they are an extremely powerful force and one that's going to have to be dealt with. They're not 0.97

00:16:29.620 one that's just going to sit down and let an opposition rise up and take over. They will

00:16:34.740 respond militarily. They've done so very recently. They will use martial arms on this. They're not

00:16:40.680 going to be a situation where they allow protests to grow. They will go Tiananmen Square day one.

00:16:46.100 And that's really the big push here is who can outlast the other? Can the United States

00:16:52.380 maintain these operations? And certainly we have offensive weapons that far exceed the Iranian 0.98

00:16:58.140 military and the Iranian regime. The question is, can they hang on? And that's really what

00:17:02.440 their fights for is for survivability, isn't it? Yeah, this is Vietniran. The concern is not

00:17:15.040 who's got the better military hardware. There has been concerns that after the 2015 Iran deal,

00:17:24.000 that a sanctions-free Iran per what the Biden and, well, really what the Obama framework was

00:17:33.180 calling for, would allow Iran to supersize its military and its long and short-range missiles.

00:17:40.800 But the situation we're in now is not really about whether or not we are militarily stronger 0.82

00:17:52.600 them. There is a durability issue, obviously, the much vaunted debate right now over the cost

00:17:59.900 of interceptors and really the validation of the $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget proposed by

00:18:06.880 the president. We're now seeing why that is perceived as necessary. It will be to support

00:18:18.620 this because of the sheer cost. We saw that all the heads of the defense companies were all

00:18:26.060 brought into the White House this week and by media reports tongue lashed about the need to

00:18:34.800 radically upscale production because of the relative asymmetry in the cost of a cheap

00:18:42.720 Iranian drone versus multiple expensive interceptors. But the fact is, is that simply

00:18:48.600 a question of budget, not capability. But that question of budget is going to

00:18:56.040 tear at the heart of the debate inside America about what we're spending our money on. And

00:19:04.000 this is happening right ahead of the midterm elections. And there's domestic concerns that

00:19:10.900 a lot of people are starting to bring up.

00:19:12.920 Jack Posobiec, Mike Benz, right back, Human Events Daily.

00:19:17.020 You talk about influences.

00:19:18.780 These are influences, and they're friends of mine.

00:19:23.040 Jack Posobiec.

00:19:24.560 Where's Jack?

00:19:25.520 Jack.

00:19:26.520 He's done a great job.

00:19:27.920 All right, Jack Posobiec, back live, Human Events Daily.

00:19:35.160 We're on with Mike Benz.

00:19:36.800 We're talking about the potential. 0.79

00:19:39.320 Is this is this the final showdown with Iran and Nicolo Soldo, who once wrote the essay Turbo America, says, yes, says that this is the final showdown with Iran.

00:19:54.480 And he writes that when you strip away is a great essayist, people can follow him stripping away moral considerations, domestic policies, biases.

00:20:02.740 The author contends this is the best time to, quote, finish off Iran once and for all, with Iran being severely weakened, isolated, vulnerable, making it, quote, ripe for the plucking. 0.71

00:20:13.460 Removing the Islamic Republic would eliminate the last major state level challenger to U.S. hegemony in the Middle East, finally pacifying the region, incorporating it fully into what he calls the U.S. sphere of influence.

00:20:25.920 So it talks about the protests, talking about the 40-year regional strategy, which has largely collapsed in the last couple of weeks, the recent joint strikes. 0.76

00:20:35.280 Of course, we've seen the U.S. and Israel damaging Iran's nuclear infrastructure, Iran's retaliation, seemingly as if they're mortally wounded, and international isolation, where, you know, of course, as we know, Russia is bogged down in their existential war, where China is playing a long game without intervening.

00:20:54.180 And you have these these allies like Assad and Hezbollah either either exiled or humbled and, you know, really, really seeing Al Qaeda and, you know, the rebranded Al Qaeda taking over Syria.

00:21:10.380 So here are the U.S. objectives. Secure U.S. secure oil supplies, fuel the global economic growth, exert leverage on non-aligned states, control of energy resources, protect and expand the position of Israel, heavily influenced, of course, by pro-Israel domestic constituencies in the U.S.

00:21:27.960 And you look at the past interventions which have served these goals with side effects, obviously, 9-11, no question, tied to U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, which have offended Islamic norms.

00:21:39.220 But you really look at this regional picture of the secular Arab regimes having been removed and Iran, of course, being the sole remaining state opponent to U.S. designs.

00:21:53.660 So, so, Benz, that's the that's the Niccolo Soldo analysis, the final showdown with Tehran.

00:22:02.260 In a summary, I wanted to get your your sense of where you stand on that.

00:22:05.860 i'm not soldo

00:22:09.060 not soldo on that uh this is a

00:22:15.960 how does how does that come to pass let's just so let's assume that it's going to take

00:22:25.700 weeks and not years best case scenario to install a a pro-us government

00:22:33.060 even though we just heard this week this is going to probably take until at least september is what

00:22:40.860 uh is what you know this when when the strikes were announced they said four or five days now

00:22:44.860 it's four or five months um i don't think anyone will be surprised if it's four or five years

00:22:50.540 um let's just but let's just say that you best case scenario you install

00:22:56.800 Reza Pahlavi or whoever, now you've got a minority government that is going to have to be

00:23:07.580 protected, midwifed against the fact that most of the people in Iran are still going to have

00:23:18.780 loyalties to the previous regime, the majority of the people there, arguably the vast majority

00:23:24.700 of the people there and they are going to have fresh memories of their entire senior leadership

00:23:32.020 being decapitated of uh thousands of of people dead of i mean possibly tens or even hundreds

00:23:44.260 of thousands by the time this is this is over you're going to need every everything that the

00:23:51.020 that Vahk was famous for in terms of having this secret intelligence state that is constantly going 0.82

00:23:57.940 around murdering challengers to the state. You're going to need that inside Iran to stop folks 1.00

00:24:04.960 loyal to the previous regime. You're going to need this regime propped up from the outside 0.88

00:24:11.740 from now until the end of eternity to stop the mean reversion. And I keep coming back to this

00:24:18.260 point. This is the main issue with regime change in the first place, is that if an exogenous force

00:24:25.980 is necessary to install a regime during that short turbulent period leading up to the regime

00:24:34.460 change, that exogenous force is needed to maintain the regime or else it mean reverts back to the

00:24:42.200 regime it was before the artificial change. And that's what we saw in 1979. After the 26 years

00:24:51.700 of the Shah, that is what we will need forever in Iran in order to keep this and keep this even in 1.00

00:25:02.240 the best case scenario. So even after you spend tens or hundreds of billions of dollars waging 0.99

00:25:11.620 the kinetic war, you will need tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in USAID and foreign

00:25:17.760 assistance and foreign internal defense and security and peacekeeping forces every year

00:25:26.880 until the end of time in order to keep the regime propped up that you install.

00:25:34.640 and this is of course this is of course what happened i would just say in afghanistan and

00:25:43.920 iraq yeah and in iraq has 45 million shiite muslims this is what's happening right now is

00:25:53.980 going to you know i mean i think we're already seeing uh i think what was it nine protesters

00:26:02.340 who were killed in Bahrain with the Shia protests that surrounded the US embassy there.

00:26:09.100 Which also has a Shia population, but a Sunni ruler. 0.90

00:26:12.580 Right. But there was a set of, I think we killed nine protesters who were

00:26:17.820 surrounding the embassy right there. You're going to see Iraq inflamed over this. We just saw, 0.99

00:26:23.980 I think, three of the four major Gulf states, including Saudi,

00:26:28.280 threatened to peel back U.S. invest their investments that they promised President Trump

00:26:34.060 last year in the U.S. over this, unless this comes to a close very quickly.

00:26:41.120 I think that we're coming up on a on a quick break, but I would love to delve in with that

00:26:45.740 with you a little bit more, because I've seen reporting from the Financial Times and others

00:26:49.280 regarding that question. The Gulf states and I was on Fox last night, brought that up as well.

00:26:54.660 What will the reaction of the Gulf states be?

00:26:57.740 Will they put money over regional power?

00:27:00.940 Right back, Human Events Daily.

00:27:02.760 Jack Posobiec, Mike Benton.

00:29:32.980 left, we started talking about the questions of the Gulf states, the Gulf nations. Financial Times

00:29:38.700 had a big piece last night that a lot of people were sending around talking about how

00:29:43.700 Qatar, how Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Dubai, Jebel Ali, Abu Dhabi, how they are putting

00:29:53.140 pressure on the administration to say, wait a minute, we need to keep the party going. We need

00:29:59.080 to keep the economic money flowing as well as the oil itself. So here's the real question.

00:30:05.480 Are they going to go along with the United States escalating these tensions or do their economic realities and their economic models want them to sue for peace?

00:30:18.680 What say you?

00:30:20.460 No one knows.

00:30:22.060 It's it doesn't look like their consent was secured prior to the attacks.

00:30:29.860 This is now it's I suppose it makes sense.

00:30:34.140 The surprise nature of the attacks probably necessitated in the eyes of the White House, a very small need to know basis.

00:30:43.560 But I think that all the Gulf states learned about the attacks at the same time we did, which is unusual in the Bush administration, in the regime change wars at that time.

00:30:57.460 I think the Saudis were brought in at the ground floor level.

00:31:07.900 I think that there's widespread recognition in the region 0.58

00:31:12.840 that this is an event of enormous implication and long-term implication.

00:31:24.200 As you said, they want the party to keep going.

00:31:26.420 They had a good thing going. There was relative stability. Iran was weak and not posing an imminent threat to shutting down the Strait of Hormuz or to, frankly, an economic threat even to the Saudis or the other Gulf partners because of the sanctions that have been in place.

00:31:50.560 And now everything's up in the air and we don't know.

00:31:56.420 And when we see this, I want to go through the list.

00:32:01.040 Again, we're talking Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates.

00:32:07.520 And particularly when it comes to Dubai, people have been talking about the plight of the influencers and the OnlyFans models, the OnlyFans capital of the world.

00:32:19.000 But really, Dubai has pitched itself and positioned itself for years.

00:32:23.860 It's taken them 15 years to establish themselves as sort of the Las Vegas of the Middle East.

00:32:30.580 And rapidly, that reputation is going to be leaving because they are losing all of it.

00:32:37.300 Every time you see a missile flying overhead, whether it be air defense or an Iranian missile,

00:32:41.980 they're directly striking into that reputational investment that they had built up so much 0.74

00:32:49.480 because simply you're not going to be able to have these parties, this nightlife, all these things going on

00:32:54.920 if people still revert back to, as you say, revert back to mean,

00:32:58.400 and the mean being that the Middle East is a hot area, it's a place of war,

00:33:02.020 and it's a place where wars constantly break out.

00:33:05.380 Yeah, we'll see if the attacks there escalate.

00:33:08.900 I think that the physical stability, I think if there were to be a very serious attack on Dubai,

00:33:16.340 It's hard to say. We don't know all that much about Iran's stockpiles. The big

00:33:24.760 target, we're told, this week has been the remaining stockpiles of missiles at all the

00:33:32.720 various sites, both above and underground, inside Iran. While there is considerable,

00:33:39.960 I think, hysteria within our own military establishment about our own stockpiles.

00:33:48.100 There is a unknown unknown about Iran's. And while it's true that they've struck out it,

00:33:55.580 I think the list is up to 13 different countries and territories all over the Gulf.

00:34:01.860 You can't keep that up forever while still trying to hit Israel and U.S. military bases.

00:34:09.240 We've seen that the largest munitions deployments in the past two nights, for example, have been at Tel Aviv.

00:34:17.940 And I'm not sure that Dubai will be under physical kinetic assault a month from now in the way that the U.S. and Israeli assets are likely to be.

00:34:30.120 But who knows? It's what we've done now with the Iranian Navy, which was intended, I think, to stop the ability for Iran to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, may drive Iran to pursue some sort of surprise attack against something like Dubai proper.

00:34:53.300 Or we saw, I think it was even one of the hotels associated with the Burj Khalifa, you know, basically.

00:34:59.500 I mean, they may attack something of great symbolic value.

00:35:06.960 You know, for example, if you were to have some of these marquee projects in Saudi or in Dubai struck in the way that some of the ones in Iran were, I think Iran will be looking for pressure points.

00:35:20.660 And the best case scenario is that they don't strike them.

00:35:28.240 But now there's talks about boots on the ground, which will be necessary even in the event of success.

00:35:39.180 As I said, you're going to need boots on the ground to support whatever regime you prop up at the end of this. 0.57

00:35:44.320 There's simply no way that the small minority of the folks inside Iran that we've been supporting and who are trying to throw off the yoke of a pretty nasty regime, the fact is they are a minority.

00:36:07.920 And it will require boots on the ground one way or the other, whether you call that a invading military force or whether you call that a peacekeeping internal foreign defense force.

00:36:23.180 And the response, I believe, from the Iranian foreign minister on on the news last night, I think he was interviewed by MSNBC or CNN, and he he said, bring it on so that we're waiting for them.

00:36:42.300 They are certainly preparing for it. And they're certainly, I would say, baiting President Trump and trying to say that that they are not going anywhere, that they want to be out.

00:36:53.420 We're also seeing, by the way, Bahrain, as to your point, just banned public gatherings.

00:36:58.120 I'd also throw out that, you know, the question of these drones, the question of Iran's massive drone stockpiles and construction capabilities,

00:37:08.580 the same way that we've seen them be able to supply these to Russia for the Ukraine fight are going to be another huge factor in all of this, 0.80

00:37:17.180 Because, yes, the ballistic missiles are far more powerful, but these kamikaze drones are an asymmetric capability that Iran has built up over the last couple of years and been using to such great efficacy that even the United States has reverse engineered them. 0.56

00:37:34.020 Unfortunately, that's all the time we have with Mike Benz today. 0.78

00:37:36.660 Benz, where can people go to follow you to get more of your cheery and optimistic analysis?

00:37:43.420 You know where to find me.

00:37:44.620 I'm on X at Mike Benz Cyber.

00:37:47.180 Mike Ben cyber. God bless me. Have a great weekend. Mike Benz. It is Friday folks. It is Friday. Go

00:37:53.440 into your emails in the next segment. Call this the Jack Posobiec appreciation hour. I can say

00:38:01.900 confidently. I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it

00:38:06.200 wasn't for Jack Posobiec. And that is, I'll be honest. All right, Jack Posobiec. We are back

00:38:16.600 live human events daily oh breaking news uh from the post-millennial president trump

00:38:23.600 coming out now saying deploying u.s ground troops to iran would be a waste of time says they've lost

00:38:31.840 everything they've lost their navy they've lost everything that they can lose uh president trump

00:38:38.120 said that he would not rule it out originally but now is saying to nbc that such a move would be

00:38:46.240 a waste of time, but that he's also looking, of course, for that new leadership.

00:38:52.660 So the question that we've asked to the audience, and we've got your emails, we've got your

00:38:58.160 comments in, let's go through some of those today.

00:39:00.820 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com, will Iran agree to President Trump's unconditional

00:39:08.060 surrender terms?

00:39:09.560 First is in from Andrew.

00:39:11.420 Yes.

00:39:11.900 And to quote Darth Vader, I find your lack of faith disturbing.

00:39:15.660 All the best. Next is from Turnkoff. He says, no, they will not, because that would leave Iran

00:39:21.380 completely and utterly defenseless and no country would do that. Why? Because whether they leave

00:39:26.400 themselves defenseless by agreeing to Trump's terms or simply lose the war, it'll have the same

00:39:30.600 effect. Be wiped off the face of the earth. And let's see where else are we going here.

00:39:38.700 Okay. Next, we've got Jerry from California. We've had several administrations that did

00:39:44.580 absolutely nothing and allowed Iran and their proxies to attack our bases, our ships and our 0.99

00:39:48.360 people. They've supplied Hezbollah and the Houthis and have wreaked havoc on the world. God bless 0.98

00:39:54.340 President Trump. He is the only one who has the stones to go out and try to fix this mess. Also

00:39:59.600 taking in some comments from X and Rumble. So if you guys are on Rumble or Getter, if you're in the

00:40:06.560 live chats, please send your comments, your messages in. We'll get to them if we can. This

00:40:11.840 one from open society lens. Iran has been preparing for this war for the last 20 years. And when the

00:40:16.960 magic moment finally comes, you think they will give up absolutely no chance. They are eagerly

00:40:21.400 waiting for the USA to land boots on the ground. This one from Michael. I doubt it. Time to quit

00:40:26.720 being so nice. This one from JC three. The answer is no, Jack. It was no before you typed the

00:40:32.060 question. It was no before Trump sent the email was no approximately 3000 years into Iran's

00:40:36.360 existence, but please keep checking. Keith Uncensored says, counter question. Is there

00:40:41.780 anyone left to accept terms? Base James, I highly doubt it. What else do they have to lose? Political

00:40:47.100 how? They won't have to. There won't be any leadership left to agree with it. Let's see.

00:40:54.020 I want to find some good ones. I want to find some good ones. Trump's legacy will know

00:40:58.360 no unconditional surrender. N like K-N-O-W. How about this question? Will Israel send its 0.97

00:41:05.320 Navy to the Strait of Hormuz to allow oil to flow out of the Gulf states. Chad, not a chance.

00:41:11.000 Thaddeus, the terms are no different before we legally attack them. There's no such thing as

00:41:15.100 an illegal war, by the way. They're rejected because there's no such thing as international

00:41:18.260 law. They were rejecting them. And that's why Trump and Bibi attacked because unconditional

00:41:22.680 surrender is kind of a nonstarter in negotiations. John says, no, but I've officially become a

00:41:28.580 panicking over this. How would this not turn out being a disaster? Frank, not only are they

00:41:35.220 surrendering, but they are buying up the Trump gold card visa program in droves. Never seen

00:41:39.740 anything like it. I don't know if that's true. Is the RGC buying the Trump gold card? Okay.

00:41:45.300 This one from William, he says, yes, and they will agree to Trump's unconditional surrender

00:41:49.200 about time he realized that, oh, Trump's unconditional surrender about time he realized

00:41:54.880 U.S. and Israel have lost. Another Michael says, why would they think they want to have a regime

00:41:59.820 change because the U.S. said so? They are also pounding Israel. This one from John. Trump

00:42:06.420 surrendered to the neocon Israel first Republicans. Bobby says they have already told us to screw off.

00:42:13.980 We just attacked them twice during negotiations and they, along with the rest of the world,

00:42:17.240 have learned their lesson. What country would ever trust us now? The lesson is if you don't

00:42:22.600 have a nuke, you better race to one. That one from Bobby. Latest email from Edward. Jack,

00:42:29.900 how do you feel about that? Mike Benz states, no matter which way you go, they will need boots on

00:42:34.440 the ground or either as an invading army or as a peacekeeping force a la Vietnam. So as the host

00:42:40.640 of human events, are you going to make a comment on those specific statements? Boots on the ground?

00:42:47.500 I don't think that we'll see American boots on the ground. I personally just don't think we're

00:42:51.220 going to see it. I don't think that it's in the cards. You saw President Trump's statement

00:42:55.920 last night about that. He thinks it would be a waste of time. I think that's true. I think it's

00:43:00.960 unlikely. Is it impossible? No, it's not impossible, but I think it's unlikely. I think

00:43:06.500 that what you're going to see is something more similar to the Venezuela option where someone

00:43:13.540 pragmatic is going to step up and say, I will be the leader, but I also want to make this deal

00:43:20.820 with the United States for peace and hopefully on their perspective, stability. And you're going to

00:43:28.080 see that. So the boots on the ground to uphold the regime will be their own boots, not US boots.

00:43:34.140 Let's see this one. Oh, here's a MVG says you're asking a narrow question in a multi-vector

00:43:42.020 scenario. When and if Iran surrenders to the contract that the powers that be require based

00:43:48.200 on past history of similar regime change scenario, factional fighting will continue and exacerbate

00:43:53.160 instability in the region and beyond. Or as Charlie put it, regime change warfare in Iran

00:43:58.740 is a big mistake. Tamper with that the NWO, both in New Age Intel and New Age weaponry,

00:44:03.660 it looks as if we landed in the net exactly where the enemy would prefer us. But as for enemies,

00:44:09.420 it would seem more dire for America to address the enemy within drain the swamp. And since oil

00:44:14.260 may be the only factor regarding this war.

00:44:16.600 Please consider my crypto prepay gasoline disruptor idea for the industry.

00:44:20.860 It would sure help farmers and truckers around the globe.

00:44:23.740 That doesn't sound like a bad idea.

00:44:26.040 This went in from Joe.

00:44:27.440 Remember, 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com.

00:44:32.120 No, they will not give up.

00:44:34.920 These people are, if you think these people are crazy, 1.00

00:44:38.420 if we want our way, you'd have to kill them all. 1.00

00:44:41.040 When we get closer, they will use the better stuff to hit one of our ships. 0.99

00:44:44.260 We still have a chance to pull out now. If we don't and they get their say, we will be dragged

00:44:49.000 in. If a ship, if a ship gets sunk, we are going all in. These people think differently. We need

00:44:54.400 to focus on the Western hemisphere. Even if Trump gets someone, I think I feared Netanyahu will 0.96

00:45:00.140 kill him. And of course, we saw that where Israel came in and was striking leadership. President 0.70

00:45:05.560 Trump even said himself that some of the people that they were looking to work with, Israel had

00:45:10.240 already killed. So obviously being a factor here that people want, are going to have to,

00:45:16.880 to understand is that will the United States agree or will other people not agree to whoever

00:45:23.060 the, uh, whoever the next leader is and what, look, when you start assassinating people,

00:45:29.880 right, this becomes, it changes the incentive structure. It changes the incentive structure

00:45:34.400 for everyone because people are going to be saying, should we be assassinating them? Should

00:45:38.900 we step up and be the leader if i'm going to be assassinated next who wants to be the leader and

00:45:43.840 of course who wants to be there i want to hop into the i'm in the rumble chat right now uh this one

00:45:50.660 from poigon kid says we asked for unconditional surrender by japan right before we dropped the

00:45:57.380 bomb on them fisherman 85 that was their big drone launching warship bursting into flames

00:46:03.940 turning Iran into glass.

00:46:07.000 Memzi, finally a person with an intelligent question.

00:46:10.420 Kurt Bass, while President Trump has delivered time and time again,

00:46:13.760 all these doubters are wearing me out.

00:46:15.300 Why is it so hard to trust him?

00:46:18.740 Let's see. 1.00

00:46:19.540 Someone, Memzi, now talking about the Palestinians

00:46:22.200 and question about and, you know, calls it a genocide.

00:46:26.720 What's going on with the Palestinians?

00:46:30.740 Trucker, Trucker69 says, 0.96

00:46:33.620 Obama gave them billions to wreak havoc around the world, destroy the regime in Iran.

00:46:37.660 Trump was cleaning up the past administration's treason.

00:46:41.140 Darth Brooks, 77.

00:46:42.700 Our boys are—Darth Brooks, that's funny.

00:46:45.260 Our boys are fighting our tax dollars Obama gave them.

00:46:49.360 You know, so that getting to that point again, asking about the Abraham Accords.

00:46:53.960 Let's see.

00:46:55.040 Alyssa says, well, they tried to assassinate Trump.

00:46:57.680 And this, of course, is something that the president has said himself.

00:47:00.960 I got him before he got me.

00:47:02.840 What has the president seen in terms of the assassination attempt, which we were told, and it's been reported, and I heard this as well, even back during 2024, back during the campaign, that there was an assassination attempt on the president that was tied to Iran.

00:47:19.500 What does the president know about that?

00:47:21.620 And will he come out and tell the people of the country all about it?

00:47:26.900 Folks, that is it.

00:47:28.020 It has been a week here on Human Events.

00:47:30.760 Thank you so much for sticking with us.

00:47:33.020 Thank you so much for being here.

00:47:34.820 And as always, ladies and gentlemen, you have my permission to lay ashore.
