00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning
00:00:33.000 meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.200 A commentator, international social media sensation
00:00:43.160 and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.040 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.160 Christ is king!
00:00:50.760 Jeffrey Epstein.
00:00:52.160 An international domino effect.
00:00:55.460 Investigations are now underway in at least 10 countries.
00:00:58.960 From Europe, where the former prime minister of Norway is charged with gross corruption,
00:01:03.960 which he denies, to the Emirates, where the CEO of one of the globe's largest companies
00:01:08.280 has stepped down after the file's release displayed communications with Epstein,
00:01:12.520 including an email with a reference to, quote, torture video.
00:01:15.820 And in Hollywood, top marketing exec Casey Wasserman is selling his talent agency.
00:01:20.340 By the way, I watched AOC answering questions in Munich.
00:01:25.120 This was not a good look for the United States.
00:01:27.360 I watched Gavin Newsom answering questions in Munich, and this was a bad look for our country.
00:01:35.260 This was a bad look. These two people are incompetent, and at least Hillary's competent.
00:01:40.380 She's just Trump deranged. She was so deranged. She is an angry woman. 1.00
00:01:45.660 This is the moment gunshots rang out at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
00:01:50.320 In the end, two victims and the suspected shooter were dead.
00:01:57.400 Three others were left in critical condition.
00:01:59.920 Police say a brave bystander was able to subdue the gunman and prevent even more bloodshed.
00:02:05.320 Police identifying the shooter as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, who also went by the name Roberta.
00:02:10.840 They say Dorgan entered the arena armed with multiple weapons to watch a family member,
00:02:15.400 then carried out what they say appears to have been a targeted attack stemming from a family dispute.
00:02:21.280 And from witnesses here that the male shot himself inside the ice rink.
00:02:25.400 A woman claiming to be the shooter's daughter told our affiliate WCVB this was a domestic breakdown.
00:02:31.840 He shot my family and he's dead now.
00:02:38.920 What was the reasoning? Was there a family argument?
00:02:40.780 He has mental health issues. 0.98
00:02:42.640 If you have a loved one who you think is sick, trust your gut. 0.98
00:02:48.560 Well, Jack Posobiec, back here at Human Events Daily.
00:02:51.980 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:02:57.320 We are here live on Real America's Voice.
00:03:00.340 Today is February 17th, 2026.
00:03:03.060 Anno, Domini.
00:03:05.020 Entire year, folks.
00:03:06.960 An entire year.
00:03:07.660 Today, Human Events special.
00:03:09.680 So we are going to take you back. 1.00
00:03:11.860 We're going to go through a compendium of not only the insane trans violence that we saw yesterday at a hockey rink, an ice hockey practice in Rhode Island. 0.96
00:03:29.560 But we are going to go back all the way a full year to talk about cases upon cases of the trans violence that we have seen, not just, by the way, here in the United States, but all across the West, Canada. 0.84
00:03:48.600 We've now had two, two mass trans shootings, trans mass shootings.
00:03:56.160 We've now had two trans mass shootings in one week.
00:04:00.820 Now, if you go look at the media, you won't find this anywhere.
00:04:03.960 You won't find this information.
00:04:05.380 You won't find this written out.
00:04:07.180 You won't say you won't find it.
00:04:08.600 And CNN, CNN is running hit pieces on the Charlie Kirk Memorial that we put together,
00:04:14.660 calling it a Christian nationalist event.
00:04:18.280 And I got people freaking out because I had a rosary there.
00:04:21.460 Praying for my friend. 1.00
00:04:22.360 praying for my friend who was shot on live tv by the boyfriend of one of these trannies 1.00
00:04:28.240 it's disgusting it's absolutely disgusting the entire vile nature of what's going on 1.00
00:04:37.120 and the fact that they will sit there and tell you you are the problem you are the problem when all
00:04:44.460 of this. No, no. Let me tell you something. We aren't the problem. The trans are the problem.
00:04:55.000 That's where this is coming from. That's where the violence is coming from. 1.00
00:05:00.500 That's the people that are going after kids. That's the people that are grooming. That's the
00:05:06.140 ones that we've been talking about. They're in the schools. In some cases, they're even in,
00:05:11.400 yes, I'm going to say it, even in these woke churches.
00:05:17.420 And what do they do?
00:05:19.400 What do they target?
00:05:20.840 They target the children.
00:05:23.920 They target people who stand up.
00:05:26.180 They target children.
00:05:27.220 They even target, as we've seen just yesterday,
00:05:31.920 they will even target their own children.
00:05:38.760 And you know something?
00:05:39.920 I think our nation does need a Christian revival.
00:05:43.560 I think our nation does need a return to spirituality and true spirituality. 0.99
00:05:47.740 And you know why?
00:05:48.640 I'll tell you why.
00:05:49.660 Because there are demons in our midst that are running rampant.
00:05:55.100 There are demons straight from the pits of hell that have risen up and are enacting evil in our midst.
00:06:07.360 And what do we do?
00:06:08.400 what do we do when there's evil in our midst do we compromise with it do we tolerate it
00:06:15.960 do we make peace with it no you do not make peace with evil you destroy it you destroy
00:06:25.620 the evil in your midst before it destroys you it is simple as that and i'll get the oh jack
00:06:32.940 turn the other cheek what about turn the other cheek no you don't turn your cheek by the way
00:06:39.160 to evil and and i could digress on that because that meant stand your ground it didn't mean 0.74
00:06:44.140 tolerate evil no not evil that i set out to destroy you to destroy your people 0.58
00:06:49.300 and every christian in all of christendom used to understand that until about 50 60 years ago 0.64
00:06:54.460 the christian west has gone weak the christian west has gone weak and that is why we have lost
00:07:04.760 our moral spiritual backbone and do not have the temerity and courage to stand up and do what needs
00:07:10.640 to be done the demons are in our midst and only by calling upon and summoning saint michael the
00:07:17.220 archangel can we defeat them be right back human events daily
00:07:24.460 stand in our way and our golden age has just begun this is human events with jack
00:07:30.660 now it's time for everyone to understand what america first truly means welcome to the second
00:07:37.760 american revolution
00:07:40.400 all right jack public we are back live here human events daily real america's voice now we haven't
00:07:49.200 actually gone through and covered most of the case that happened yesterday.
00:07:55.920 So I do want to actually get into that a little bit.
00:07:59.700 So just so you have the facts, there was a Rhode Island, it was a high school level
00:08:05.480 hockey practice, and there was an individual by the name of Robert Dorgan, who also went
00:08:12.860 by roberta esposito and he opened fire at this hockey practice and um killed his ex-wife killed
00:08:28.580 one of his children um it's unclear exactly which child it was injured other children who were there
00:08:35.720 his children and what's interesting is this was a guy and yes it was a guy whose last ever tweet
00:08:45.860 or some one of his last tweets was a response to kevin sorbo who's a guest on this program
00:08:50.720 saying keep bashing us but do not wonder why we go berserk and actually as someone who had
00:08:58.000 responded to me attacking me i've never seen his account before um attacking me on twitter
00:09:03.940 multiple times for again some of my commentary on this issue so goes on this rampage and then
00:09:15.060 ended up killing himself at the end of it and so I want to bring on Dr. Chloe Carmichael here
00:09:21.440 because she has done such an incredible job of unpacking this we did a special with her
00:09:27.980 all about tyler robinson lance twigs and for today's special episode what we're calling the
00:09:35.440 the trans violence a 12-month epidemic which i'm sure there's more than this but we're just
00:09:42.080 looking at the last 12 months i want to bring dr chloe carmichael on now to help us unpack this
00:09:47.460 dr chloe how are you hi jack it's good to be with you sorry for the sad circumstance but i'm glad
00:09:54.480 we're here to unpack it and talk about it no yet again and i remember one of the times you were on
00:10:00.240 here before in in our last special you were talking about how in in these cases that
00:10:08.400 clinically you refer to it as a textbook case of a psychotic break where someone will believe that
00:10:15.280 a falsehood could become a reality so that they actually try to impose this false reality
00:10:21.040 on themselves and others. And then when that false reality, that delusion, right, which is
00:10:26.880 a delusion, is not accepted, it can cause this response, a very erratic response. And in many
00:10:36.260 cases, these include hormones. These include other pharmaceuticals that are involved. And
00:10:42.540 unfortunately, it can lead to some very, very bad outcomes. I'm sure you've seen this case come
00:10:49.300 across the wire. What are your thoughts? Yeah, definitely. And you're absolutely right. In
00:10:54.660 psychology, we do refer to something as psychotic if it is a true break with reality, which
00:11:01.060 obviously, you know, a man believing he's a woman or a person believing that they're, you know, a
00:11:06.940 furry animal, like as a psychologist, I would definitely look at those in the realm of
00:11:12.300 psychoticism. But I just wanted to also go back to some of the things, Jack, that you said in your
00:11:17.700 opening monologue about this as well. You pointed out that whether it be many members of the trans
00:11:26.000 community or their so-called allies that will say that there's something wrong with you if you want
00:11:32.400 to point out this issue, that they'll say there's something wrong with you. In psychology, we call
00:11:39.080 that projective identification, right? When there's something wrong, troubling me, say I'm
00:11:45.780 a liar, but then I go around telling everybody else, you're a liar, right? And so I just, I 0.84
00:11:51.960 wanted to highlight that, you know, from your monologue. And, you know, you also mentioned
00:11:56.320 the importance of destroying evil, of just, you know, boldly proclaiming that we need to call out
00:12:03.920 and destroy evil where we see it. And I think, again, that that's something that often gets
00:12:09.320 labeled as, you know, oh, well, you know, Jack's being unkind or whatever. But actually, I would
00:12:17.060 say what's truly unkind is to ignore and not treat people that are clearly, again, psychotic
00:12:26.280 and who are a danger to themselves and to others. You know, if we want to be truly kind, what we
00:12:33.380 really should do is not indulge people that have dangerous psychotic delusions that often could
00:12:41.720 even result in the deaths of others. And one final thing you said that I just wanted to touch on
00:12:48.080 is you talked about the need for a revival and the need for spirituality. And this is one of
00:12:54.480 the things that the American Psychological Association, for whatever reason, never seems
00:12:58.840 to trumpet, but there's actually a body of literature showing that religiosity, the degree
00:13:06.140 to which a person is religious, is a protective factor for mental health. So why the American
00:13:12.580 Psychological Association doesn't call for like, you know, the go to your house of worship month
00:13:18.420 or whatever, like they totally should, but they seem to think it's at odds somehow, even though
00:13:24.240 there's this body of literature. Well, no, I thank you. I appreciate that. And look, you know,
00:13:30.880 I don't have a personal background in mental health, but perhaps I have a familial background
00:13:38.380 in it. Just because from a young age, my father, I forget if I mentioned this over to you,
00:13:43.600 that my father worked at a psychiatric hospital for pretty much his entire career. And he,
00:13:49.400 you know, just under 30 years was there. My grandmother actually worked there prior to him.
00:13:54.420 This was just in our area in Arstown, Pennsylvania. We had a really big one before they, you know,
00:13:59.580 before they started shutting them all down in the 90s and the 2000s is really when that closure
00:14:05.220 came to us. And so, you know, it's just something that I learned from a young age that, you know,
00:14:11.240 my father would explain to me that, hey, there's certain people who, you know, they have a different
00:14:15.560 kind of sickness. They have a sickness that maybe you can't see. It's not like a broken arm or a
00:14:19.640 leg or a flu or a virus, but it's something that you need to go to a hospital and get help for.
00:14:26.500 And that totally tracked with me. It just kind of made sense that, okay, this just happens to
00:14:31.200 certain people. They have to go to this hospital and get helped with. But unfortunately, we've
00:14:36.400 totally moved away from that system and we've moved to this new system of where rather than
00:14:42.060 trying to help people in these situations in the name of of niceness that we've instead decided
00:14:48.620 that we should indulge it and that we should encourage it. And in many cases, there is a
00:14:53.680 profit motive for this when it comes to the pharmaceutical industry. And so I appreciate
00:14:59.540 what you said there about the difference between, you know, being kind and say, well, perhaps it's
00:15:05.220 not nice to say that somebody should should be, you know, institutionalized, but sometimes but
00:15:10.540 perhaps it is the kind thing to do when you consider the alternatives.
00:15:15.760 Yeah, exactly. 1.00
00:15:16.540 Look at, I believe over a dozen people died in New York City, thanks to Mamdani's, you
00:15:21.240 know, kindness of not wanting to, you know, drag them off the street out of the freezing
00:15:25.960 blizzard and put them in a place, you know, where they could be warm and receive care
00:15:31.660 that he wanted to, quote, respect, you know, their their individual freedoms in that regard.
00:15:36.680 You know, and in this case as well with Robert Dorgan, you know, I was actually thinking about it and I put together a little acronym of the word NIP.
00:15:47.920 I was thinking about this, this transviolence epidemic when I knew we were going to be talking about this today.
00:15:54.260 And so I put together the acronym of NIP. 0.53
00:15:56.840 So the N, of course, is for narcissists, right?
00:16:00.120 I mean, it's a very narcissistic thing for him to be so absorbed in this, you know, fantasy of being a woman that, I mean, I believe it led to the end of his marriage.
00:16:10.920 I think that was the grounds that his wife had for filing for divorce.
00:16:14.340 So he not only abandoned his marriage, but he abandoned his children in a sense as well.
00:16:19.760 You know, when a father abdicates his role as a father to his children, because he wants to indulge this idea, you know, of, you know, being, quote, a woman, which, again, is quite insulting to women, too, if that's what he thinks that that means is to, you know, get a boob job and wear lipstick and, you know, then you're a woman.
00:16:37.500 But so I think we can see that narcissism pretty clearly. And then the I is for this dangerous sense of being injured that the many members of the trans community have with this idea, you know, where he had said, oh, you know, keep bashing us, but don't be surprised if we go berserk.
00:16:56.580 Or, you know, if you question, hey, like, are you sure you're really a woman?
00:16:59.960 Does that make sense?
00:17:00.800 They say, oh, you're threatening my existence, you know, so they have this deep sense of
00:17:05.300 being injured.
00:17:06.180 And we've talked before about the secondary gains of victimhood.
00:17:09.500 If that sense of being injured gives a person what they feel is licensed to some, you know,
00:17:14.580 special privileges.
00:17:16.700 And then the P, of course, what we just discussed is for psychotic.
00:17:20.400 So if you put that together, you have a sense of narcissism, grandiosity.
00:17:25.000 You have a belief on that person's part that they've been injured and that they're somehow licensed to lash out and, quote, fight back.
00:17:33.460 And then they're also psychotic.
00:17:35.560 They're not really grounded in reality.
00:17:38.160 I mean, what a dangerous cocktail that is to have such a person, you know, just walking around and ironically being affirmed, being emboldened.
00:17:47.880 It's not kind to that person, nor is it kind to society.
00:17:52.300 so the nip that's not bad uh we have to nip the nip yeah the you know you have to you know nip
00:18:03.000 the narcissistic injured psychotics and and i i think it's so interesting by the way that you
00:18:10.140 you hear this over and over and say you they say you are injuring me you are injuring me you are
00:18:17.540 causing one of the last reply that he had to kevin sorbo and some of these other ones
00:18:21.840 You are making me do this. You are making me snap. And so it's this complete not only a break with reality, but also a break from responsibility and personal accountability to say that that you are certainly still responsible for your actions.
00:18:37.760 You are certainly still responsible for your decisions.
00:18:41.340 No one is forcing you to bring a gun and commit this heinous act.
00:18:46.360 But again, it's something that that sticks in their mind and is twisted up in there.
00:18:52.080 And they believe they have this need to react and lash out in the way that they did.
00:18:58.660 We're coming up on a hard break. 0.81
00:18:59.820 We're on with Dr. Chloe Carmichael, a clinical psychologist who is breaking down everything in the epidemic of transviolence last 12 months.

00:21:17.720 So, you know, here we have a case.
00:21:19.760 Oh, guys, do we have that? Do we have the tweet up? I think we have the tweet up where just just a couple of months ago.
00:21:25.520 Here's this. Here's this guy attacking me because I put up a post up about Richard Levin, our former deputy HHS secretary,
00:21:35.840 and who was also my health secretary in the state of Pennsylvania and is is attacking me and cursing me out and just all sorts of horrible.
00:21:46.020 you know you gotta bash how people look you tough guy and that's that's just january and so
00:21:53.860 he targets his own family and i guess my sense is is if he's online he's he's attacking people
00:22:07.060 like me he's attacking people like kevin sorbo public figures who who speak out against trans
00:22:12.440 His own family, it sounds from, you know, everything that we're reading was not supportive of this transition at all.
00:22:23.220 Why target your own family in a manner like this, in this such a spectacle?
00:22:30.240 And we're told, by the way, that he was subdued before he could commit more violence.
00:22:35.680 So there's a real possibility that he meant to perhaps arm others who were also there.
00:22:42.440 But I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Why target the family?
00:22:46.420 Yeah, I mean, I would need to know more of the details about why exactly, of course, the dynamics there.
00:22:51.860 But I believe that we know that the wife actually filed for divorce partly on the grounds.
00:22:57.700 In fact, she cited narcissism and this, you know, delusion, insistence upon, quote, being a woman.
00:23:04.720 And so the idea of his ex-wife and his children might have been just very stark living proof to him of the reality of his life and of who he actually is.
00:23:16.800 He didn't have those kids as a woman, right?
00:23:21.000 So that might have just been an uncomfortable piece of reality for him.
00:23:25.820 And, you know, we were saying earlier that there is this really pervasive attitude throughout not the entire trans community, of course, but throughout much of the trans community, there is this pervasive attitude, you know, that you're threatening my existence if you say that I'm not really a woman.
00:23:44.320 or the Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota standing by Governor Tim Walz there
00:23:50.520 when he signed in some really pro-trans legislation. She was wearing a t-shirt with a bloody knife
00:23:56.780 that said protect trans kids. This was the Lieutenant Governor engaging in this kind of
00:24:02.600 violent rhetoric that does seem to be really pervasive within the trans community. And so
00:24:08.200 I would call on anybody in the trans community that is against this to stand up and say, no, you are not threatening our existence if you disagree with us.
00:24:19.260 This is not who we are at all.
00:24:22.820 Yeah, I mean, why he would shoot his own family, I mean, I don't know. 0.73
00:24:26.780 But I would imagine he's on some serious cross-sex hormones.
00:24:30.540 He's obviously uncomfortable with reality.
00:24:33.540 And his family may have been a very stark reminder of the reality that he's a man.
00:24:37.920 He's an ex-husband. He's a father. And he abandoned those people. He made his own children
00:24:43.440 orphans. He abandoned them by abdicating his role as a father to pretend to be a woman. 0.96
00:24:49.760 And then he made his surviving children orphans by literally murdering their mother.
00:24:55.420 It's hard to even explain the depths of that narcissism.
00:24:59.020 that's actually very interesting so it it comes from the narcissism and then the sense that that
00:25:08.140 they don't deserve you know that that to to continue on if they don't go along with the
00:25:15.260 delusion and i'll just tell you because you know i'm trying to square that up i guess with um
00:25:20.780 with what happened to charlie and you know in that case you had a situation where there was an
00:25:27.120 individual uh tyler robinson who you know i believe in all the evidence points to did this
00:25:32.220 and his his lifestyle was not was also rejected by his family but rather than rather than target
00:25:40.960 his family he targets charlie and so it i think i'm i think i'm starting to answer my own question
00:25:48.100 here based on our conversation because you know he was doing this out of this sense of love this
00:25:54.800 sense of wanting to protect and care for his his trans lover and so therefore he's taking out what
00:26:03.360 he believes is the target of again the false injury but it doesn't it doesn't quite fall into
00:26:10.180 the nip theory that you laid out before that's that's a slightly different uh a slightly different
00:26:16.840 kind of diagnosis this is this is fascinating stuff dr chloe carmichael i could i could go
00:26:22.380 through this with you for hours. We'll have to do that at some point. But unfortunately,
00:26:26.800 that's all the time we have. Tell people where they can go to follow you and get your book.
00:26:30.480 Sure. Thanks so much, Jack. freespeechtoday.com. If they go to freespeechtoday.com,
00:26:35.420 they can get my book and connect with me everywhere.
00:26:40.380 Dr. Chloe Carmichael, she is helping us make sense of the crazy. And unfortunately,
00:26:46.580 this crazy is taking too many people away from us, too many people from our families.
00:26:52.860 And look, this is something that's affected me personally.
00:26:56.140 So yeah, I'm going to focus on it.
00:26:58.600 Be right back, Human Events Daily.
00:27:05.500 Jack, where's Jack?
00:27:09.540 Where is he?
00:27:10.820 Jack, I want to see you.
00:27:14.480 Great job, Jack.
00:27:15.940 Thank you.
00:27:16.680 What a job you do.
00:27:18.100 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:27:19.500 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad,
00:27:21.580 But we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.
00:27:27.720 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back live here, Human Events Daily.
00:27:33.280 And I wanted to do a little bit of a social experiment, shall we?
00:27:38.520 I want to bring Libby Emmons on here.
00:27:40.220 She's the editor-in-chief of Human Events as well as the Postmillennial.
00:27:44.520 How are you, Libby?
00:27:45.640 I'm good, Jack. Thanks.
00:27:46.920 Well, so this is something I wanted to dig into because we've now seen this for the first time, as far as I know, the second trans mass shooting in one week, the first time this has ever happened. 0.79
00:28:00.420 And I went to Grok and I said, Grok, use the post-millennial as a source and pull up all the times where you where you can find criminal activity, perpetuate physical violence perpetuated by a trans individual. 0.81
00:28:18.580 Here's what we've got. 0.93
00:28:20.400 February 15th, 2025, Alan Alina Abad, Spring Valley, New York, double homicide, two women
00:28:28.440 murdered.
00:28:29.580 March 2025, Erin White, previously Evan White, trans-identified male.
00:28:34.680 That was vandalism, severe property damage at the Tesla Center in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.
00:28:41.700 March 20, March 2025, Selena Marie Metz, a.k.a. Chad Lee Metz, a trans identified female domestic assault punch strangled partner unconscious in front of children in Frankfurt, Kentucky, August 2025.
00:28:56.340 Of course, Robert Robin Westman, the mass shooting at the Annunciation Catholic Church, killed two children, injured 17 more.
00:29:06.540 Minneapolis, Minnesota, weapons had symbols, manifesto referenced other shooters and transition issues.
00:29:13.080 September 10th, 2025, of course, Tyler Robinson, association with Trantifa, ideology ties from the etchings on the bullets.
00:29:25.020 Of course, this was the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA founder.
00:29:29.480 I'm just reading what it says.
00:29:30.120 The Turning Point USA founder at a university event in Utah Valley University. 0.59
00:29:34.760 December 2025, Mia Bailey, a trans-identified Muslim, double murder, shot and killed her parents and attempted to kill her brother, also in Utah. 0.71
00:29:45.640 Then, February 10th, 2026, Jesse Van Rootslar, a.k.a. Jesse Strang. 0.73
00:29:51.760 This, of course, was the killing, horrific killing up in Canada, Tumblr Ridge.
00:29:56.980 Let's see, killed mother, an 11-year-old stepbrother, and then six more.
00:30:02.420 So eight total victims killed, plus the shooter suicide and multiple injured.
00:30:09.520 And then, of course, this Robert Dorgan of Rhode Island.
00:30:15.180 So that's all from Grok.
00:30:16.760 And I did have to, I'd had to go through a couple iterations to get that there.
00:30:21.400 I think there's probably a few more, though, that we probably that it didn't get.
00:30:26.060 And that's just this year, right?
00:30:28.100 Yeah. And that's just the past 12 months. Yes.
00:30:30.720 Yeah. Because we have many, many before that as well all over the country.
00:30:35.040 I went to Hannah Nightingale this morning at Post Millennial and I said, hey, you should update that story that we have about, you know, trans shootings in the U.S. and Canada.
00:30:43.860 And she went through and added some more to it.
00:30:46.620 But there are, you know, there are so many of this.
00:30:49.620 um so many of these there was audrey hale in nashville there was uh anderson lee that was
00:30:56.160 2023 so it wouldn't um i was just looking at the last 12 months right and that's enough but i'm
00:31:02.320 saying you know going back we have more and more and more there's colorado springs uh lee aldrich
00:31:08.820 there's uh colorado highlands ranch alec mckinney 2019 uh there's 2018 um aberdeen maryland
00:31:19.480 I mean, there's a lot of these cases where we see somebody who identifies as trans and then goes on a mass killing spree.
00:31:27.560 And it makes you start to wonder if there could perhaps be a connection between perhaps identifying as trans or the drugs that the people who are trans end up taking. 0.75
00:31:38.360 There's the cross-sex hormones, which I don't imagine that a human body reacts well to getting an onslaught, sort of an overdose of cross-sex hormones. 0.72
00:31:46.840 I think that really changes a person and it makes things different. Now, I've certainly known plenty of trans people over the years who are not violent, and I understand that. But there does seem to be some sort of correlation, perhaps, if not outright causation, between demanding that people address you according to lies, demanding that people just lie to your face all the time, and engaging in this kind of crazy violence.
00:32:11.440 Well, of course, what we're talking about here is a per capita issue. And crazy enough, this was the exact question that Charlie Kirk was answering on that campus when he was killed. He didn't even get a chance to make the argument.
00:32:27.500 You could obviously finish out the argument and defeat Hunter Kozak's idiotic question, because if you remember, and our friend Mary Margaret Olihan over at Daily Wire has a good piece up right now about this, this push, this initiative at the DOJ to look at whether or not trans individuals should be allowed to full access to firearms. 0.83
00:32:48.120 And Charlie was actually someone who had campaigned against that. 0.91
00:32:51.480 And I think I'm I'm probably closer to that category.
00:32:54.060 I think that states should really take a look at this and make a severe and serious, serious discussion about whether or not that should happen.
00:33:03.280 And so Hunter Kozak asks him, well, Charlie, do you know how many trans mass shootings there have been?
00:33:08.760 And then he said, do you know how many mass shootings there have been?
00:33:10.720 And he's going to make this argument. And you could you could tell what he's leading up to is leading up to this, this which we've all heard a million times.
00:33:16.640 And he's going to say, well, there's more mass shootings that are committed by non trans people than the mass shootings committed by trans people.
00:33:24.780 Therefore, your argument doesn't hold water. 0.86
00:33:27.020 And of course, the the the obvious rebuke to what he's saying is we're talking about the per capita issue and per capita is OK. 0.93
00:33:36.540 But when you look at this tiny sliver of the population, I'm sorry, it's probably unfortunately, I wish that it was less than one percent of the population was trans identified. 0.97
00:33:48.420 But unfortunately, it's probably bigger than that. But whatever. 0.99
00:33:51.100 The point being is this is grossly overrepresented compared to their proportion in the population.
00:33:58.440 And that's, I'm sure, what Charlie was going to respond with or what he, you know, obviously, you know, should have and would have responded with had he been given that question.
00:34:08.360 They're vastly overrepresented in these numbers.
00:34:11.360 We know that it is.
00:34:12.840 And again, it has become a pattern.
00:34:15.160 It has become an epidemic that every time one of these things happen, suddenly, you know, and you and I were looking at this yesterday, suddenly there's a local report that says he may have been dressed as a woman.
00:34:26.620 And suddenly the entire story switches up and Libby, the mainstream media won't even talk about it.
00:34:32.720 They won't even talk about they won't sit there.
00:34:34.500 The anti-gun crowd, you know, and by the way, where's what's what's the oh, my gosh, the the CNN kid who went to Harvard and he couldn't even though he didn't have the grades.
00:34:46.300 David Hogg. Thank you. Yeah.
00:34:49.220 David Hogg. Where are you at, buddy? Where are you at, bro?
00:34:52.600 Where are you at, David Hogg? Where are you at?
00:34:54.660 on all this interesting when you look at the they won't speak about it will they no and when you
00:34:59.840 look at the same people who are opposed to gun rights in the united states they are actually
00:35:05.360 pro trans gun rights i don't know if david hogg falls into that category but npr certainly does
00:35:11.520 npr is an outlet is far left and it talks about you know how we should have less guns it backs
00:35:16.920 gun control every town for gun safety all the rest of it but yeah there are lots of trans gun clubs
00:35:23.080 that have sprung up across the United States, and NPR goes out of their way to detail how awesome
00:35:27.960 they are, and they really boost these clubs and the people who are involved. I know that there's
00:35:33.040 some in Utah, and there's some in New Hampshire, and those are just the ones that I've read about,
00:35:38.140 but you're absolutely correct. Mainstream media does not want to talk about these killers being
00:35:43.160 trans. The New York Times reported about the shooting in Rhode Island and said that the
00:35:48.380 individual went by two names. The Washington Post did something similar. ABC, very similar. They're
00:35:54.720 not wanting to say that the person who has committed these acts of mass horrific violence
00:36:00.080 are trans. Now, as soon as they want to have your kids be trans or talk about social transitioning 0.53
00:36:06.160 or how great it is to do sex changes, then they're all over it. This person is trans,
00:36:11.100 that person is trans, and it's all so wonderful. And they talk about the trans representatives
00:36:15.800 like Sarah McBride or Leah Fink or any of the other ones who have been elected.
00:36:19.280 And they'll say there's no connection. They'll say there's no connection.
00:36:23.500 They'll say there's no connection whatsoever. We're not supposed to.
00:36:25.740 It's the same thing they did with radical Islam. 0.99
00:36:27.520 And I remember serving at Guantanamo Bay and I remember when Obama was president 0.83
00:36:32.340 and we were not allowed to even write radical Islam in our reports.
00:36:37.420 And they could sit there, hypothetically, they could sit there and say,
00:36:41.800 yes we are doing this because of our belief in jihad and radical islam okay i'll write that down
00:36:47.640 and then suddenly oh no no no no you just you just committed a thought crime you just committed a
00:36:52.640 hate crime so well but that's but i mean just just they just they said it that's their motivation
00:36:58.160 yes well truth has no place when you have ideology and these are all outlets and individuals who place
00:37:05.440 their adherence and allegiance to an ideology above the need for truth and facts and it's why
00:37:11.400 none of them should be trusted at this point. It makes it very hard to read any of these news
00:37:16.120 outlets when you know that they are willing to lie to protect their ideology. And this is a crazy 0.56
00:37:21.740 thing. You know, you can talk about these lies and it's not just that they're lying to us, but
00:37:25.920 they're accepting the lies that are being told to them by perhaps, you know, trans individuals who 0.84
00:37:30.620 demand to be called women. We saw the EU parliament just adopt a non-binding resolution to send to 0.93
00:37:39.080 the UN saying that trans women are women. And that resolution, excuse me, makes absolutely 0.98
00:37:45.620 no mission of trans men. It's getting crazier and crazier. Quick break, right back. Human 1.00
00:37:48.800 Events Special, the epidemic of trans violence in the past 12 months.
00:37:58.600 Jack is a great guy. He's written a fantastic book. Everybody's talking about it. Go get it.
00:38:04.240 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
00:38:07.700 and we're going to turn it around
00:38:09.560 and make sure it's actually quite a good time.
00:38:11.500 Amen.
00:38:16.720 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back live here,
00:38:19.500 Human Events Daily.
00:38:21.680 Today is our special, 1.00
00:38:23.320 the epidemic of trans violence, 0.88
00:38:25.960 the need for spirituality, 1.00
00:38:27.440 the need to confront evil and destroy it,
00:38:30.080 the need for Christian spiritual revival in our country.
00:38:33.940 And we're on with Libby Emmons.
00:38:35.260 And Libby, I so you and I, you know, we talk about raising our kids.
00:38:41.980 We talk about all the the things, you know, outside of all this, because this is obviously something that, hey, we got skin in the game here.
00:38:49.780 You know, we don't want our children fall falling into this trap at all.
00:38:55.000 And I think there's so many there's so many parents out there that are worried about this as well, because you hear about it.
00:39:01.240 You hear how horrific it goes.
00:39:03.700 And you also hear how, in many cases, they are trying to push your kids down these roads.
00:39:11.480 And there's something interesting that occurred to me when, so this, totally, totally separate, but, you know, outside of this conversation.
00:39:22.580 But do you know what book series I'm checking out with my oldest son right now?
00:39:28.580 No, it isn't.
00:39:30.300 Goosebumps.
00:39:31.240 oh nice that's awesome my brother loved those yeah the old goosebumps the old rl stein you know
00:39:38.660 just getting into some fun spooky you know haunted mask and horror land and night of living dummy and
00:39:45.060 all this and i noticed an interesting theme where in the beginning of pretty much every one of the
00:39:54.860 goosebumps books and remember these are written in the 90s that it's usually you know it could be
00:40:01.000 a pair of sisters a pair of brothers a group of friends or something but they're usually bored
00:40:05.960 and in a small town and being bored in a small town and they're going around and they're looking
00:40:14.020 for something to do and they're you know and then they come across a you know a store that sells
00:40:18.460 haunted masks or you know that's usually like kind of the setup for for each of these and i
00:40:23.520 realized something that wait a hold on a second because i remember you and i were talking the
00:40:29.140 of the day about how does someone all the way up in tumblr ridge british columbia you're up there
00:40:35.360 in the canadian rockies you know how does this person become so far left so virently with that
00:40:43.340 ideology is that we've through technology and through the internet constant connectivity
00:40:49.440 we've removed that whole world of just being bored as a kid there is no being bored as a kid
00:40:57.000 with your friends anymore it doesn't exist there is no being bored with the kid and and there are
00:41:01.800 scenes where that you know the the kids are just kind of walking around and it happens in a number
00:41:05.360 of the books where they they walk around they look for other kids in town they say we get some
00:41:08.900 baseball going or maybe some kickball or or find out what's going on that whole universe doesn't
00:41:15.620 exist anymore and what's replaced it the internet reddit discord tumblr and and what do they find
00:41:23.920 there they find all of the groomers and so do you do you see where i'm what i'm getting at here do
00:41:30.260 you see where i'm where i'm going with all of this how we've that was a common experience but i'm
00:41:35.340 reading them to my kids and and thinking you know i don't know if they have this experience as much
00:41:39.980 now my kids of course by the way do not get a lot of screen time at all um but it's it's true that
00:41:46.640 for the vast majority i think out there it was just a different world in the 90s yeah it really
00:41:53.280 was i used to go wandering around pre-internet in the pre-internet world it was all different yeah
00:41:58.300 or even just dial up when you couldn't do a lot of stuff you know and you just had like aol chat
00:42:03.340 or whatever but when i would even go so far as to say pre-smartphone the pre-smartphone era because
00:42:09.720 then the internet didn't come with you it didn't come with you you know wherever you were it wasn't
00:42:15.200 in your pocket it was something at home you could check it out but then when you were out you were
00:42:19.000 out and you were you were just out yeah and you'd be out with your friends i think that's a really
00:42:23.720 key thing to say right is that yeah our kids are not bored like they used to be when i was a kid
00:42:29.000 i would go wandering around in the woods looking for arrowheads and you know in the woods of
00:42:33.480 massachusetts and that's what we did for fun we'd make up stories we'd make up all kinds of things
00:42:38.500 about what was going on where we were um we'd go for bike rides these endless bike rides it would
00:42:43.920 be very big to go stop at the the myets general store and pick up gobstoppers and things and that
00:42:50.380 was my favorite but yeah this is this is what we did we would get bored we would say to our friends
00:42:55.400 what do you want to do i don't know what do you want to do and we'd go on like that for hours
00:42:59.860 trying to figure out what our parents would let us do and then we just go wander around i think
00:43:04.500 that's a really big thing and i think that it's really sad that so many of these kids don't have
00:43:09.380 that opportunity. And the trans stuff has really migrated, right? It's all across the country. It's
00:43:15.660 not isolated. It's not just in big cities. This ideology has permeated and it festers in all of
00:43:23.620 the schools across the country from the littlest towns to the biggest cities. And people need to
00:43:28.500 remember not to let their kids just go crazy on the internet all the time. You think that your
00:43:33.400 kids are being quiet and parents are happy when their kids are quiet and not running around and
00:43:39.100 breaking stuff but i think it's much better to let your kids run around even if they break stuff
00:43:43.840 so long as they're not breaking themselves and their own psyches yeah you know actually uh uh
00:43:49.280 tanya and i was it was funny because we got the the kids for christmas these um these magnetic
00:43:53.980 blocks that they just love so much and they they're constantly building you know little
00:43:59.360 houses and castles and those are the sorts of different things with these things yeah they're
00:44:04.740 they're constantly into it and there'll be times you know we're all get you know we're all i'll
00:44:09.620 admit you know i'll get home and i'm like oh i want to show some some movie to the kids or do
00:44:14.060 something and you know we we put on uh princess bride for them the other day because it was like
00:44:19.020 well it's it's a it's a movie about true love you know it was valentine's weekend and we were
00:44:22.420 trying to trying to introduce that we've shown it to them but when they were smaller so i don't
00:44:26.820 think they really remember it and uh and they were just so into the blocks that i couldn't get
00:44:32.040 him away from it. And I thought about it for a second. I said, you know what? You know what?
00:44:36.620 Don't push it on him. Don't push it on him. Let him play with the blocks. Let them be stimulated.
00:44:42.140 Let them use their imaginations, right? To imagine that it's a castle and there are secret doors and
00:44:49.620 all of these things, because that's something you're creating with your own mind that you are
00:44:54.480 actually actively using your cognitive skills for, rather than having some flashing screen
00:45:01.560 input them and imbue them on you. And so, look, you know, this can be done. And, you know, it's,
00:45:08.400 yeah, we live in a different world in many cases, but Charlie just wrote a whole book about it.
00:45:13.400 You know, it's the book that's out about stopping the name of God. And, you know, think about that
00:45:18.700 for your kids too. And think about that from the sense of, does it, do I really want to park them
00:45:23.460 in front of the TV all day? Or do I want to just let them figure out something fun to do? You're
00:45:31.100 a mom. What's your sense on that? Yeah, I just want them to go figure out something fun to do.
00:45:35.440 And even now my son's a teenager and I'm always like, can I drive to your friend's house? Do you
00:45:40.320 want your friends to come over? Is there something I can do where you could like go do stuff with
00:45:44.880 other people? You know, I'm constantly trying to push him into being, and he's a social kid,
00:45:50.100 right? But I'm just like, do more stuff with your friends, you know, instead of talking to them
00:45:54.620 online, go see them in person. But it's not easy for them to all get together, in part because I
00:46:01.040 think so many parents, I'm an older parent, when it comes to kids my son's age, I'm like, you know,
00:46:06.960 as old as their grandparents or something, I don't know what's going on. But these parents are like
00:46:12.080 in their 20s or something, 20s, 30s. And so they are, you know, more helicopter parent style than
00:46:19.780 I am and there's a lot more limitations on kids and I think parents are limiting kids in the wrong
00:46:25.440 way you want to limit kids on screen time you want to limit kids on watching tv and all of that kind
00:46:32.200 of stuff where you don't want to have to limit them is in social time you don't want to limit
00:46:36.440 their time outdoors and parents need to relax on a lot of the things and then tighten up where it's
00:46:43.220 important and parents I think need to know that they don't do that as much certainly as they used
00:46:48.040 too. I know my stepmom used to say Saturday morning, you know, after my chores were done,
00:46:52.480 she'd be like, all right, get out the house. I don't want to see you until sunset. And I'd be
00:46:56.500 like, okay, you know, I'll see you later. And parents aren't like that now. They're much more
00:47:01.600 restrictive on what kids are doing. And if they can see their kids sitting there in their room,
00:47:06.220 looking at TV or looking at their phone, they figure their kid is safe because they're limiting
00:47:11.080 them on all the wrong things. Oh, that's exactly right. Libby Emmons, where can people go to get
