This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:36.840
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:43.460
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:53.700
That plane was bound for London, and it crashed shortly after takeoff today.
00:00:58.980
According to the police commissioner in India, it appears there are no survivors.
00:01:03.800
Trump says he plans to phase out FEMA, shifting disaster response to the states after this hurricane season.
00:01:10.140
Another night with a curfew in effect in downtown Los Angeles.
00:01:13.440
As protests against the Trump administration, immigration raids now enter a seventh day.
00:01:20.520
Local leaders argue the president's decision to deploy the military is igniting fears and surging tensions.
00:01:27.440
Federal officials expect another 2,000 guard troops will mobilize today, joining 2,000 already deployed and about 700 Marines.
00:01:36.200
The L.A. protests are inspiring similar demonstrations in other cities like New York, Seattle, and Minneapolis.
00:01:45.420
We're hearing reports that U.S. personnel are being moved out of the region within striking distance.
00:01:50.440
Well, they are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place.
00:01:53.680
Earlier this week, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran had not been cooperating with the organization
00:01:59.460
and that the agency could not certify Iran's program as peaceful.
00:02:04.480
President, how imminent is an Israeli strike on Iran?
00:02:08.580
Well, I don't want to say imminent, but it looks like it's something that could very well happen.
00:02:22.300
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition, Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C.
00:02:31.080
I know, Dominic, two days away from the Army's 250th birthday parade here in Washington, D.C.
00:02:38.480
But is the U.S. military being drawn into another war overseas?
00:02:44.600
Perhaps another proxy war, just like the war in Ukraine is a proxy war against Russia.
00:02:51.160
Would this be backing for a proxy war against Iran?
00:02:55.540
And there's been a number of reports now coming out, the U.S. evacuating key personnel, key
00:03:03.180
establishments across the Middle East, the U.S. coming out and saying that a strike is potentially
00:03:10.440
imminent from Israel on Iran, which, of course, the United States would ultimately have to pay
00:03:16.680
the bill for. And the United States would certainly be left on the hook for the bill regarding a war
00:03:25.440
with Iran. All of this takes place as negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are continuing.
00:03:34.240
And in fact, Steve Whitcoff is going to be meeting with the Iranians this Sunday, as far as we know.
00:03:39.800
So the question is, what's driving this? If we're having negotiations, have the negotiations.
00:03:45.780
Let Whit, let Whitcoff cook. Let him do the job that President Trump assigned to him.
00:03:50.860
And remember, when President Trump went to those rallies in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan,
00:03:57.940
and I was there with him in all three of those states last year, he campaigned against new wars.
00:04:04.600
He campaigned as the peace president, a president whose legacy would be world peace, a president who
00:04:13.040
understood that the true value of America was the American people and putting the issues of the
00:04:20.920
homeland first. That's what America first is all about. And right now, folks, we have so much momentum
00:04:28.900
on the deportation issue. We have so much momentum on the immigration issue. By the way, by the way,
00:04:36.020
it's repatriation. We're going to call it repatriation. Operation Homeward Bound. No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:04:42.680
We're not removing people. We're helping these wayward migrants find their way home. And that's been the
00:04:51.320
issue all along. They're lost strangers in a strange land. We're going to help them get home. It's the
00:04:58.700
Christian thing to do. They ended up here for a variety of reasons. We're not going to go into
00:05:04.740
all that. But what we're going to do is get them a plane ticket, maybe even pay for the flight
00:05:09.640
themselves, put them on that plane, and get them right back where they belong. Be right back. Jack
00:05:14.660
is over. To understand what America first truly means. Welcome to the second American revolution.
00:05:30.200
All right, folks. Jack Posobiec here back live. Human Events Daily. Real America's Voice also
00:05:47.540
want to bring in the Salem Radio Network now with our three Charlie Kirk show. And we've got a very
00:05:57.020
special treat for everyone here. We have the, well, it's an interesting day today because there's some
00:06:04.960
news. But we have right now the Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice, Aaron Reitz,
00:06:11.380
who's joining us. But he's got a little bit of news today regarding that very title. Aaron,
00:06:17.060
thanks so much for joining us. Thanks for having me, Jack.
00:06:20.460
All right. All right. So break it down for us. You announced this a little bit earlier today.
00:06:26.580
What's the news? Yeah. So last night I submitted my resignation to the President of the United States
00:06:33.780
and the Attorney General in my position as Assistant Attorney General of the Office of Legal Policy
00:06:38.280
at the Justice Department. But it's not because I'm in retreat or moving on to something else that's
00:06:45.420
less significant for our country. But I'm stepping out today, effective today, and announcing my
00:06:51.420
candidacy as the next Texas Attorney General of Texas to succeed Ken Paxson.
00:06:59.240
Well, this is huge. Walk me through this a little bit because there's a bit of musical chairs going
00:07:05.040
on here because Ken Paxson is the current Attorney General of Texas, but he is expected to run in
00:07:11.720
primary as the Senate candidate against John Cornyn. Yeah. No, that's exactly right. Look,
00:07:18.600
Ken Paxson has been our great Attorney General for over a decade in Texas, and he's decided to throw
00:07:25.760
his hat in the ring to primary John Cornyn for the United States Senate, representing 31 million Texans,
00:07:31.560
which provides Texans with a unique opportunity that they haven't had in over a decade to introduce
00:07:38.860
or elect a new Texas AG. And I think that when Texans are looking at who ought to carry on Ken
00:07:45.180
Paxson's legacy, it's somebody who, like me, the president described as a true MAGA attorney and
00:07:52.700
a warrior for the Constitution. And the reason why he called me those things when he brought me to the
00:07:58.180
Justice Department is because of the three years that I spent fighting alongside Ken Paxson as his
00:08:03.380
deputy. And then the two years that I spent fighting alongside Senator Ted Cruz as his chief
00:08:08.080
of staff. And folks want to know, folks in Texas want to know, okay, if Ken Paxson is going to vacate
00:08:14.980
the AG seat, we want to make sure that we can turn the keys over to somebody who can handle an office
00:08:20.760
with that kind of horsepower. And I think when folks look at my background, the litigation,
00:08:26.660
lawsuits, appeals, defenses, investigations on all of the issues that Texans care about from
00:08:32.820
election integrity, border security, woke corporations, transing of the kids, environmental
00:08:39.620
overreach, I have borne battle scars on all of those issues. And so when Texans are looking for
00:08:45.940
somebody that they can trust, somebody that they can say, okay, this guy needs to be our next attorney
00:08:51.000
general to continue pressing in, pressing hard on the gas that Ken Paxson, on the course that he's put
00:08:56.440
us on, Aaron Reitz is the guy. And if you want to know more about me, your viewers can go to
00:09:05.800
Well, Aaron, this is huge news. Congratulations on the candidacy. Have to ask you,
00:09:11.660
first and foremost, though, when it comes to the issue, illegal immigration. Obviously,
00:09:16.360
this is a huge issue for Texas. It's an issue where AG Paxson has stood in the breach. And it's
00:09:22.520
an issue that is really uniting, I think, a lot of Americans in the face of all of these riots that
00:09:29.060
we've been seeing kicked off in LA, then it spread to New York, it spread to Philadelphia. And in fact,
00:09:34.460
just last night, we saw Dallas and San Antonio had a level of violent riots as well. So response to
00:09:41.920
the riots in particular, and then a general response on illegal immigration in this issue.
00:09:47.120
Yeah, look, it's a great question. And it's an important issue. A lot of times people think
00:09:52.880
that the scenes that we've seen in Los Angeles couldn't possibly be happening in Texas. But as
00:09:59.400
you rightly said, and folks can just do an image search for the riots that are happening in Texas's
00:10:04.500
major cities, they'd be shocked to see that the roots of anti-American, insurrectionist,
00:10:11.960
pro-alien ideological rioting is happening right in the Lone Star state. You need an attorney general
00:10:20.580
who is going to help crack down on that sort of thing, who's going to make sure that the ideologies,
00:10:26.560
as well as the funding that provides the resources for these rioters, doesn't take root in Texas.
00:10:34.280
And once we identify them, we prosecute them, we investigate them, we expose them, we get them out
00:10:38.540
of the state. And the question more generally, though, of illegal immigration, I'm with you
00:10:44.580
during your opening monologue. I'd like to see mass repatriation of millions and millions and millions
00:10:52.140
of illegal aliens that have been invading our country in particular over the past four years,
00:10:57.260
but it's been a problem for decades. And so I love to see what this administration is doing
00:11:02.580
to identify, round up and deport or to repatriate those illegal aliens, just get them back home
00:11:09.900
where they ought to be. And the Texas attorney general plays a critical role in this. And I will
00:11:14.620
tell you, Jack, at the very beginning of the Biden administration, if it's any reflection of the
00:11:19.280
kind of AGLB on the issue of immigration, Ken Paxton and I partnered together for three years.
00:11:27.040
And out of the nearly 50 lawsuits that I brought with him during my time in the Texas AG's office,
00:11:34.240
nearly 20 of those 50 were on immigration and border security. We litigated on abuse of the parole
00:11:41.020
system, on abuse of the asylum system, canceling of border wall contracts, sanctuary cities,
00:11:47.880
and the list just keeps going on and on and on. I've been at the front lines of fighting illegal
00:11:53.860
immigration at the Texas AG's office before alongside Senator Cruz. And my commitment to
00:11:59.600
Texans moving forward is to continue to partner with this Trump administration to absolutely get
00:12:05.700
our country and our sovereignty and our border back under control. And you don't just have to take my
00:12:10.360
word for it. Texans just have to look at my record, which is in greater detail at my website,
00:12:14.960
AaronWrites.com. Aaron, yesterday we had a long discussion with the Congressman on Hipsy regarding
00:12:25.040
the cartels and this cartel activity. Obviously, as Attorney General, this is something that we know
00:12:30.740
that the cartels operate on both sides of the border. What is your policy on that? How would you
00:12:37.500
look to crack down on these cartels, the rat lines, the human trafficking, the fentanyl, which we know as
00:12:42.700
even as great as President Trump has done, a lot of this is still going on?
00:12:47.400
Yeah, no question. I mean, you use a critical term, Jack, on having control of both sides of
00:12:52.820
the border. I think a lot of Americans, we hear this term, the cartels have operational control of
00:12:57.320
the border. And they don't really fully visualize what that means. What that means is that ingress and
00:13:03.020
egress in and out of the country, whether you are moving for commercial purposes, you know,
00:13:08.680
quote-unquote legitimate commercial purposes or illicit purposes, drug trafficking, human trafficking,
00:13:14.200
sex trafficking, it means that you don't come in and you don't come out with the either express
00:13:19.500
or implied permission of the cartels. Now, these cartels have spread, their nodes have spread into
00:13:25.020
all of the major cities of Texas. So what the Attorney General can do is partner with aligned
00:13:32.340
sheriff departments and police departments to launch extremely invasive investigations into where these
00:13:40.180
cartel cells are taking root and then assist the local law enforcement in prosecuting these crimes.
00:13:48.040
The Attorney General also has tremendous civil discretion to investigate these non-profits that
00:13:54.460
are aiding and abetting the illegal invasion of our country. You know, all these nicely named
00:14:01.760
non-profits that are presenting themselves as just innocuous and humanitarian. These organizations
00:14:09.860
are taking Soros and Soros-adjacent money to assist the invasion of millions of illegal aliens,
00:14:17.840
and they want to pat themselves on the back for being forces of good, when in reality, they're forces
00:14:23.840
for evil. And you need an Attorney General who knows what he's doing, who can take the weapons of
00:14:30.500
legitimate statutes of law and common law to investigate them and root them out and hold
00:14:35.440
them to justice. Exactly. Aaron Wrights, we're just about out of time. Tell people where they can go
00:14:41.020
to follow you and to get more information as you continue this quest to make Texas great again.
00:14:47.720

00:15:06.960

00:17:05.960
today on X. The question, essentially, should the U.S. get involved in another war in the Middle East?
00:17:15.300
Should the U.S. back military action against Iran? 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com.
00:17:23.760
And I'll just read you some of the ones that we got. I have to jump to this one that came in from
00:17:28.740
Devin. It just really struck me. He said, on the topic of Iran, one of my first girlfriend's father
00:17:36.120
fled Iran when the Ayatollah took over. Her grandfather was close with the Shah, and because
00:17:41.320
of that, the Ayatollah kidnapped his children, so my girlfriend's father and uncles. They were
00:17:45.920
tortured for information, shot in the abdomen, and dumped in an alley to die. Three of them survived
00:17:50.800
and fled Germany to the U.S. The Ayatollah and radical Islam were the worst of the worst,
00:17:55.340
but we must focus on our homeland instead of going to war. The only people who will benefit
00:18:04.000
from a war with Iran are BlackRock and the military-industrial complex, definitely not
00:18:09.500
the American people. Also got an email from Lance in Texas. President Trump was elected twice on a
00:18:17.000
mandate to force out the neocon war hawks that had subjected Americans to endless war and
00:18:22.140
interventionism. Provoking a war with Iran would be a betrayal of that mandate. We cannot allow the
00:18:27.140
political goals of other regions to drag us into a conflict that will bring continued instability
00:18:32.960
to the world and more heartbreak at home. I can tell you that a major reason for Gen Z's dramatic
00:18:38.660
shift to the right was that we sought a return to the peace of President Trump's first term.
00:18:44.140
Blessed are the peacemakers. And he says he's a pro-Trump Gen Z conservative. Here's an email from Mike.
00:18:52.460
I'm totally against the U.S. being involved or backing other countries in efforts against war on Iran.
00:18:58.080
If these countries want war with Iran, they can have it without our assistance. If Trump decides to go
00:19:02.800
to war with Iran, he will lose my support, as does JD. Here's an email from Nick.
00:19:07.640
No intervention in Iran. All caps. I am a Republican and do not support any sort of in our inter any sort
00:19:15.240
of intervention. People have been claiming Iran is about to have a bomb for over 30 years. Why do we
00:19:21.920
believe them at this point? And and that's true, by the way, the intelligence community has continually
00:19:27.520
assessed that Iran has not restarted their weapons of mass destruction program. Here's another another
00:19:33.720
email. Hey, Jack, this is from Dean. I'm a Trump supporter since the escalator. No one in the Banga
00:19:39.420
movement wants war with Iran. That's why Trump himself sidestepped the Israelis and focused on a
00:19:45.900
deal with Iran. However, Iran has to accept Trump's olive branch and give up its uranium enrichment.
00:19:52.720
This helps the Middle East have a sense of peace. Trump is trying. The Iranians should help him in his
00:19:58.100
bid to bring peace, not waste time. Well, one of the latest updates that we have is that the
00:20:03.280
peace talks will be continuing this weekend. Steve Whitcoff will be meeting as it is planning to
00:20:08.920
meet with Iran this Sunday and has also put out statements and there's reports now coming out
00:20:14.220
that Whitcoff has stated that there would be mass casualties to the U.S. and the U.S. currently has
00:20:21.360
40 to 50,000 troops and personnel assigned throughout the Middle East and that there would be mass
00:20:28.160
casualties in any response from Iran to retaliate on these strikes, whether by U.S. or a U.S. proxy
00:20:35.700
in the region. Look, folks, that's what I've been saying. I said this on Charlie Kirk's show earlier
00:20:41.420
and hour one that the U.S. is going to be on the hook for the bill of this, whether we like it
00:20:47.700
or not. That's why I keep saying back Whitcoff, back the negotiations, let the man cook. After
00:20:55.400
all, this is what President Trump was elected for. Peace is the prize. You want a legacy of
00:21:01.700
peace rather than a legacy of war? We'll be right back. Jack, I want to see you.
00:21:21.240
Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always
00:21:26.500
talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the guys who'll be getting
00:21:31.440
policies. All right, folks, Jack was so big. Here we are back. Human events daily, Washington, D.C. But
00:21:41.940
of course, we're talking about the events of California and how all of this anti-ice rioting
00:21:49.620
has descended into abject violence, chaos. I'm not going to call it anarchy, though, because it's
00:21:56.480
anarcho-tyranny. It's anarcho-tyranny because this is a tactic. It is a destabilization tactic used
00:22:04.120
to shake the foundations of our civilization and shake the foundations of the state of California,
00:22:09.240
a state which, by the way, is a fantastic and has been for years and centuries, an incredible
00:22:16.140
place to live. It has only been through recent years and these destabilizations that have made it
00:22:23.260
what it is today. New author is out with a book called Failed State, all about California and
00:22:31.240
these issues. His name is Chris Moritz, and he joins us now. Chris, how are you?
00:22:38.780
Chris, tell me about the book and how it relates to what we're seeing playing out across the streets of
00:22:44.980
L.A. and so many other cities. I can't imagine. Now, by the way, I do have to ask the question,
00:22:49.980
did you organize these riots as a way for marketing of your new book?
00:23:00.880
But we do share a publisher, folks. Full disclosure.
00:23:07.040
You know, the thing about these riots is that it really is comes as no surprise to any of us
00:23:15.640
living here, at least any of us who have been paying attention while living here,
00:23:20.980
that this has boiled over in the manner that it has. In fact, I think we should be almost kind of
00:23:25.420
blessed that it's been as contained as it has been. And that's in great, you know, we have
00:23:31.860
Donald Trump a great deal of thanks for that. California has been on a, I would say, a path to
00:23:43.020
suicide, civilizational suicide for at least a decade, arguably longer. And we have arrived at
00:23:53.060
a point where in California, immigration law is white supremacy and borders are violence.
00:24:02.420
And indeed, the people of California and the people of Los Angeles are actually hostages of this one-party
00:24:10.620
regime. And I consider the action by ICE to be welcomed as liberators to, it's a rescue operation.
00:24:21.200
But I think it's also a crystallizing moment to expose not just underlying problems in California or Los
00:24:31.080
Angeles, but really what the future of America could look like. If, if, you know, for instance,
00:24:38.180
the Biden lawlessness of the border had, had continued, I think that that is the fate that we
00:24:45.600
would have all been suffering for. So, well, and by the way, as, as you're writing this, we have some
00:24:52.860
breaking news that's going on right now. And I'm going to do a little production on the fly. If you can
00:24:57.100
get this, I'm seeing that one of these, uh, senators, um, Alex Padilla, Democrat Senator of
00:25:06.200
California, seems that he crashed Secretary Noem's press conference in, uh, Los Angeles had to be
00:25:14.240
forcibly removed. People are saying that it looks like he may have even assaulted, uh, some of the
00:25:20.260
federal agents as he was trying to make his way towards the secretary or, and obviously they were,
00:25:27.340
uh, her protective detail. Uh, he was handcuffed. I'm seeing in some of these idiot videos. He was,
00:25:33.740
he was detained. Um, I don't know if he's been fully arrested, et cetera, but, uh, this is a, a huge,
00:25:39.860
not, not just an endorsing of political violence, but actually a, a use guys. Do we have this video?
00:25:45.480
Can we play this video really quick? Well, you're seeing it there and I'm seeing some of this the
00:25:50.380
first time that, so secretary Noem is, and, and for folks listening on the radio, this is breaking.
00:25:56.160
This just happened within the last 10 minutes. Um, just seeing it on Twitter X where, uh,
00:26:02.120
secretary Noem was giving a press conference in the Los Angeles area about what's going on.
00:26:07.520
And here you have a Democrat leader who is using political violence against our federal officials.
00:26:16.520
And he is brought out, Chris, and you write about this in your book, Failed State, how we've gotten
00:26:22.440
to this place where, how can you have elected officials acting in such a manner?
00:26:27.860
Well, I think that, and that's an amazing, amazing image. Um, I think though the, the visceral
00:26:34.920
response from people like the Senator, uh, and, and others, as we've been seeing over the last few
00:26:40.980
days, this extreme response, um, is not only indicative of a, a state that has been in a kind
00:26:50.140
of de facto, uh, uh, I would say rebellion against the United States and, and executing that rebellion
00:26:57.780
through lawfare and re, and simply rejecting, um, U S federal laws respect with respect to immigration.
00:27:06.220
Um, this is because the democratic party in California has been able to achieve its political
00:27:13.700
hegemony and create the one party state in which 75% of the state legislature is held by a single
00:27:21.640
party. And we haven't had a Republican statewide official elected since Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:27:28.320
Um, that was, I think, 2006. This is all happened because sometime in the nineties, really in response
00:27:37.200
to Pete Wilson and some ballot initiatives that tried to rein in on welfare benefits for illegal aliens,
00:27:43.980
there was a, uh, a kind of counteract to that, um, that put in place policies, uh, like sanctuary state
00:27:54.280
policies and others that have resulted in California having the highest percentage of foreign born people
00:28:01.520
in the United States. It's in California, it's 27%. There are at least 2 million illegal aliens in the state
00:28:08.780
state to, and as the foreign born population has, has risen since the nineties, California has also in parallel
00:28:19.100
become a concentrated political economy. So in other words, the power that Sacramento has consolidated,
00:28:27.820
um, is, is very significantly tied to demographic engineering.
00:28:38.780
Folks, we're showing new footage here as well. Chris Moritz is our guest. He's the author of
00:28:46.060
failed state all about, uh, California, the twilight of empire and talking about how California has
00:28:53.460
descended into chaos. And it's, it's the same chaos that we've seen play out across the streets,
00:28:57.760
but here you have another example of this chaos where a Democrat Senator has rushed secretary.
00:29:04.620
Kristi Noem. Uh, I don't have much more information on this. We're working to get more information.
00:29:10.620
She appears to be safe. Uh, but he was arrested. Uh, he was, uh, or at least detained. He's certainly
00:29:18.740
handcuffed. And we see that video. And this is, this is theater, by the way, this is classic political
00:29:23.780
theater. He'll use this the same way Gavin Newsom. I was surprised it wasn't Gavin Newsom, by the way,
00:29:28.940
trying to rush this because we know he's been daring, uh, the, uh, the administration to arrest him,
00:29:34.320
saying Tom Holman, come arrest me, tough guy. These are theater kids. These are theater kids
00:29:38.840
who are playing emotional drama and he'll use this to raise funds. I'm sure all and all the rest of
00:29:44.840
it. And meanwhile, the actual Angelenos, and as you say, the Californians who are living under this
00:29:52.060
occupation force, don't ever have anyone that's coming to help them out until now, at least because
00:29:58.200
you've got these ridiculous theater kids and morons like this individual who are actually in elected
00:30:04.660
office in California. Yeah, that's so well put, Jack. Um, look, the reality for, for ordinary people
00:30:13.060
in the state of California is that in the 1990s, crime was very violent, especially in Los Angeles,
00:30:21.020
just historically violent, but it was concentrated in certain, uh, you know, small areas, neighborhoods,
00:30:30.340
right in South LA and whatnot. Today, it may not be quite as violent, but the violence is directed
00:30:38.400
outwards to all of us all the time. And this is what I was, I was, uh, uh, was informed to me by,
00:30:46.420
by, by multiple law enforcement sources for my book. And, and it certainly has played out in my own
00:30:52.320
life. So the reason I wrote this book was because in 2023 on one weekend, my family home was home
00:31:01.520
invaded style burglarized, um, meaning I was in the house at the time, but didn't encounter, um, the,
00:31:09.180
uh, the burglar, but nevertheless, two nights in a row while I'm sleeping, um, by an MS-13
00:31:16.400
gangster, illegal alien from El Salvador, um, uh, seven years in state prison for gun crimes.
00:31:25.120
And when he got out in 2017, Trump, uh, President Trump's administration, uh, at that time, uh,
00:31:32.280
had him immediately deported to El Salvador. Well, during the Biden invasion, he came back into the
00:31:38.840
country, back to LA and went on a crime spree committing dozens of these types of hot prowl burglaries
00:31:45.860
or home invasion style burglaries, uh, all over Southern California. And in Los Angeles County,
00:31:52.720
he was never even brought up on charges where, where I live in Santa Monica. Um, the detective
00:32:00.280
assigned to the case never even, uh, called me to interview me. So it wasn't until, uh, he started
00:32:07.560
committing these crimes up to the North in Ventura County that he was actually apprehended. And when he
00:32:14.240
was, uh, when he was arrested, uh, at a stoplight, he had on his person, a stolen loaded gun, um, uh,
00:32:23.100
body armor, knives, much of the stolen property, um, and other paraphernalia. Um, and, uh, when he was
00:32:32.900
brought into interrogation, the lead detective, uh, on the case came up to him and said, look,
00:32:37.900
we know you had a gun on you. Thanks for not opening fire on us. And he said, well, don't thank me
00:32:43.260
because if my wife and kid had not been in the backseat of the vehicle at the time, I was planning
00:32:49.980
on opening fire and murdering you because I'm never going back to jail. Well, this guy got sentenced to
00:32:56.040
only two years, probably will serve less in state prison and a $300 fine. And as I learned about all of
00:33:03.840
this, I was just so beyond shocked. I mean, I knew it was bad, but could it have been that bad?
00:33:10.200
And I started talking to law enforcement, um, from, you know, the lowest level beat cop up to Tom
00:33:16.500
Homan and on the prosecution side, uh, you know, uh, junior prosecutors up to Steve Cooley, the former
00:33:24.580
district attorney of Los Angeles. And what emerged from these interviews was a picture of California
00:33:30.040
that was in such disarray. This story, as harrowing as this is, we're, we're just about out of time
00:33:38.040
in the segment. I want people to go and read the full thing to find more of it. The book is
00:33:43.340
failed state, California, twilight, a vampire go follow Chris words. Chris, thank you so much for
00:34:22.040
All right, folks, I've got a special guest here at Human Events Daily, Jack Posobiec.
00:34:47.120
First time, first time, first time that she's, well, I suppose not the first time ever appeared on the program, but certainly the first time like this.
00:34:57.380
Folks, it's Lori Posobiec, my mom, and she is here because she has an op-ed up at humanevents.com that is currently number one on humanevents.com.
00:35:11.480
It is the top article on the site at the moment.
00:35:17.120
And so, Mom, Lori, you wrote a story all about the unfortunate situation of getting swatted a couple years ago on Christmas.
00:35:30.480
And they've caught the swatter, at least, or one of the two, at least at this point.
00:35:41.420
Yeah, we just have been kind of living with this for a year and a half now.
00:35:45.840
But since the person was actually pled guilty, we knew his trial was coming up.
00:35:52.660
We had been informed that he had been caught and was on the trial.
00:35:57.860
Dad was all like, I'm going down there, I'm getting in his face, I'm going to stare at him.
00:36:07.320
So, yeah, now that it was done, I said, well, you know, I think now would be a good time to just kind of write our experiences of it.
00:36:15.360
But, yeah, so it was, you know, kind of, it could have been scarier.
00:36:22.560
Just, you know, if you read the piece, it was like the way it happened, I was able, I was, I actually had just left the house.
00:36:35.600
I thought they were going to the neighbor's house.
00:36:37.480
I'm like, oh, what's going on with the neighbors, you know?
00:36:40.400
And then he rolls the window down and he says, did you come out of that house right there?
00:36:44.160
I'm like, yeah, you know, and they proceeded to tell me what was going on.
00:36:49.220
And I had, there had been some recent swattings of mostly conservative media recently.
00:36:56.780
I can't remember the names right now, but it was, you know, I knew that it was probably a prank.
00:37:03.720
I said, you know, I'm pretty sure it's a prank.
00:37:08.240
And when the guy was writing the information down, he was shaking.
00:37:11.280
And when we spoke later with some cops at the station several days or weeks later, because the detective was assigned to it, he said, yeah, we totally believed it because it was right before Christmas.
00:37:23.620
And, you know, the tensions are high, you know, expectations and all that with Christmas.
00:37:30.480
And they had called and said that there was an incident at the house, that there was an active shooter at the house.
00:37:43.260
So they claimed that the swatters claimed that I was the active shooter and that I was shooting family members and holding other, holding my wife hostage.
00:37:55.140
They went after our children and they went after, they said that I was holding my wife hostage and that I was shooting people and that the police needed to arrive immediately.
00:38:06.040
And so, to your point, that puts the police in a heightened sense of response mode because they hear an incident like that.
00:38:15.780
Were they coming in with the sirens on, were the sirens on?
00:38:22.120
But, yeah, they were like, well, who is Jack Posobiec?
00:38:28.100
And I said, well, I'm sure it's a swatting thing then, you know, because he's not here.
00:38:32.460
I can get him on the phone for you so you can talk to him.
00:38:35.020
Right, and so they couldn't find my address, so they went and found your address.
00:38:41.320
We now employ a variety of measures to protect that information, by the way, and so hopefully this never happens again.
00:38:51.640
Yeah, they caught him, and, you know, but they're still copycats.
00:38:55.500
And what I would have to tell people is, if you even think you might be a target of a swatting incident, call your local police, talk to them, and say, hey, you know, if I get a call like this, or if my house does, you know, like maybe call me first or let me FaceTime or something,
00:39:15.720
so that it's not this full-blown guns drawn in the middle of the night, whatever kind of incident, which, you know, people have been killed for this sort of thing.
00:39:27.760
And, you know, in situations where, you know, you and dad are Second Amendment supporters and exercisers, you as well as dad, by the way.
00:39:36.900
And you never know what happens in the middle of the night like that.
00:39:43.880
And you've been living with this now for a couple of years.
00:39:48.380
Do you feel better that they've caught the guy?
00:39:54.960
And I was more like, well, you know, these things happen, you know.
00:40:11.940
This is really our life, being in this movement, doing what we do.
00:40:19.560
But if you mess with our families, we will come for you.
00:40:24.740
And I don't care if you're on the other side of the planet.
00:40:29.380
You will be found and you will be brought down.
00:40:31.700
And that's exactly what happened here and exactly what will happen to anyone who ever.
00:40:37.260
Tries to mess with my family or the families of anyone else in this movement.
00:40:44.020
Can you help me out with a little something, mom?
00:40:45.720
There's usually a little something we say here at the end.
00:40:47.780
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to...
