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.

00:00:59.300 retaliation after the U.S. attacked a critical oil hub. The U.S. striking 90 targets on an

00:01:04.940 island which serves as Iran's main oil export terminal. Israel congratulating the U.S. on the 0.99

00:01:10.620 strikes. The U.S. embassy in Baghdad once again coming under fire as a missile struck a helipad. 0.94

00:01:17.100 President Trump saying that Iran is totally defeated and wants a deal, but not one that

00:01:21.920 he would accept. We never asked for a ceasefire, and we have never asked even for negotiation.

00:01:28.260 We are ready to defend ourselves as long as it takes.

00:01:32.960 And this is what we have done so far, and we continue to do that.

00:01:37.280 The U.S. military has ordered more than 2,000 Marines and an amphibious assault ship to the Middle East.

00:01:43.420 Former employees of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency in the hot seat tonight.

00:01:48.360 You don't regret that people might have lost important income to support their lives?

00:01:55.260 No.

00:01:55.660 The depositions are part of a lawsuit filed by humanities groups that say Doge violated the First Amendment by canceling more than 1,400 grants.

00:02:04.900 Violence is erupting in Cuba as protesters torch Communist Party offices, throw rocks and chant against the regime in a rare show of defiance.

00:02:13.980 Havana is opening talks with the Trump administration while a deepening energy and economic crisis grips the island.

00:02:19.920 The CEOs of 10 major U.S. airlines are demanding Congress end a funding standoff

00:02:26.200 and pay its TSA workers. In a letter, they claim 93 percent of Americans support paying

00:02:32.020 aviation workers during government shutdowns. A letter brief that is online dated October 28,

00:02:42.120 2025 from a group called Human Events. And it's addressed to your honor.

00:02:52.460 And it's in the nature of a brief on the closure issues we've been discussing today.

00:03:00.260 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of Human Events Daily. We're

00:03:04.980 here live, Real America's Voice. Today is March 16th, 2026. Anno Domine. And folks, I got to tell

00:03:15.660 you, you know, a lot of auspicious anniversaries today. Today is, of course, Stone Cold Steve

00:03:21.540 Austin Day. So happy 316 to everyone who celebrates. But also, today is 42 years since

00:03:31.300 And Gary Plouchet, yes, Gary Plouchet became the greatest father in the past century.

00:03:39.980 God bless you, Gary Plouchet, and God bless you for what you did as a role model to fathers everywhere 42 years ago today.

00:03:49.560 And in fact, his son Jody is a Human Events follower.

00:03:52.620 And of course, we stand with you.

00:03:54.540 And I would say go and follow Jody and go and check out his book, Why Gary? Why?

00:03:59.820 Now, speaking of other criminal cases, Tyler Robinson had his day in court or one of his days in court on Friday, and we here at Human Events found ourselves being the ones who were targeted by Tyler Robinson's lawyers.

00:04:20.440 And by the way, I found this photo of Robinson.

00:04:23.640 This is not from Friday.

00:04:24.880 This is actually from the February hearing, but I want to show you guys this photo because I've never seen it before, and I sent it around last night.

00:04:33.440 This is a photo of Tyler Robinson sitting in court while he's looking at a picture of Charlie, and this is a picture of Charlie from, obviously, from a high angle, looking down moments before Charlie was shot and killed.

00:04:51.260 And that's Tyler Robinson looking at that picture in the courtroom.

00:04:55.860 So you're seeing the photo from behind Tyler's over the shoulder, you know, behind his back, and then looking down to see what's on his computer screen.

00:05:05.180 The reason that, you know, this one isn't from Friday is because Tyler Robinson was not even put on camera on Friday.

00:05:13.580 And so we were not if you were not in the courtroom, you couldn't see him at all.

00:05:17.540 And this has become a huge issue. And it's become such an issue that his own lawyers, Tyler Robinson's lawyers, are attacking human events for putting an open letter into the court saying that we demand full public access under the First Amendment to these hearings.

00:05:34.580 And we continue to do so. The courtroom must have live video throughout the course of the trial.

00:05:42.380 The right of the public to have access to this case, the murder of Charlie Kirk, the trial of Tyler Robinson is paramount.

00:05:50.360 It must continue and it must be allowed. There are already too many questions out there.

00:05:54.640 There are too many people who have concerns about what is going on.

00:05:59.680 We absolutely need this. And so we responded. We say we stand by our call for transparency.

00:06:04.580 in this case, and we condemn the misrepresentation of it in court to try to undermine us, to try to

00:06:10.260 intimidate us, we won't allow it. And if they so choose, we are more than willing. I am personally

00:06:16.740 willing to go to court and argue before the judge with Tyler Robinson sitting right there. If he

00:06:23.960 wants to, he can look whatever picture he'd like while he's in court. And we will argue for this

00:06:29.140 right. And we will argue that these proceedings need to be public. Charlie's murder was public.

00:06:37.200 His execution was on live stream. The murderer made that decision, not Charlie. Charlie didn't

00:06:43.960 have a say in his murder, but the murderer did. And as such, since it was public, so too should

00:06:52.760 be the trial. Full public, full live stream for the entire world to see. So let's go. And if you

00:07:02.140 have a problem with that, I'm more than happy to take you to court. Be right back. Jack Posovic,

00:07:08.580 Human Events Daily continues.

00:07:16.740 And in our way in our golden age has just begun.

00:07:20.320 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:07:22.260 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.

00:07:26.920 Welcome to the second American Revolution.

00:07:33.160 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec back live, Human Events Daily.

00:07:36.600 By the way, this shot of the White House, I want to draw your attention to those clouds.

00:07:40.600 Guys, throw the shot up again real quick because I want to draw your attention to the clouds you see there right above the White House.

00:07:46.500 Apparently, there is a tornado warning in effect for Washington, D.C. today, something that is going to be hitting potentially within the next couple of hours.

00:07:58.840 So it's something certainly that we're looking at.

00:08:00.760 I know the president's looking at Congress.

00:08:03.840 And so, you know, a lot of a lot of plane cancellations, a lot of things, you know, being, you know, being canceled, schedules coming out.

00:08:10.740 So we'll see. We'll see whether or not something as such materializes.

00:08:15.420 but as they say, the storm is brewing.

00:08:19.340 Folks, every major company that you know is using AI right now.

00:08:23.280 Your TurboTax, your Google, your Amazon, your Meta, Microsoft, Apple,

00:08:27.540 the banks, the insurance companies, hospitals, credit bureaus, retailers, data firms.

00:08:31.320 They say it's all about innovation,

00:08:33.660 but the truth is it's about actually turning your personal information into their profit.

00:08:38.820 Big corporations are serving you up on a silver platter to cyber criminals.

00:08:42.760 AI runs on data about real people, your name, your home address, your phone number, your job,

00:08:46.820 your family. That information comes from data brokers and people search sites that build

00:08:51.600 detailed profiles on you without permission. During tax season, that exposure becomes even

00:08:56.980 more dangerous because those same profiles don't just feed corporate AI systems, they're used by

00:09:02.320 scammers. Criminals look people up before they attack. They know who you are, where you live,

00:09:07.080 and how to approach you. And this is the time of year they strike the hardest. Filing fake tax

00:09:11.660 returns, impersonating the IRS, and stealing refunds using stolen identities. AI is making

00:09:17.820 these scams faster and easier to execute and harder to spot. When your information is public,

00:09:23.300 you're exposed. So ask yourself, what defenses do you actually have against this?

00:09:28.140 The Human Events audience knows exactly what that is. That defense is Patriot Protect.

00:09:33.080 Patriot Protect is the only anti-AI tool that actually removes you from this system.

00:09:37.840 Pager Protect deletes your personal information from Google and removes it from over 240 data broker and people search sites, the exact places that AI systems and scammers pull from.

00:09:47.960 Once removed, their search and destroy protocol keeps monitoring and wiping new exposures automatically.

00:09:53.800 So don't just sit there and let scammers use AI to exploit and steal from you and your family.

00:09:58.380 Use Pager Protect and take your data back.

00:10:01.440 Take control of your personal information and reduce your exposure.

00:10:04.400 Use promo code POSO for 15% off all Patriot Protect plans.

00:10:08.080 Go to patriot-protect.com slash POSO and use promo code POSO for 15% off.

00:10:14.620 You know, we're talking about these legal issues.

00:10:16.620 And of course, we know that in order to go through those and work on those, you got to go to the experts.

00:10:21.840 And that's why, of course, we needed to get the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights from the Department of Justice here once again on the program, Harmeet Dillon.

00:10:30.660 Harmeet, how are you?

00:10:33.980 uh guys i am not hearing harm meet can we work on that something uh i think a little

00:10:41.040 little might be off on there but oh there it is there she is sorry about that ask you again how

00:10:48.480 are you i guys i'm not sure what's can we uh let's let's get army harmeet's audio fixed up

00:10:58.080 there guys because i heard her for a second then it went away then we got her back i want to make

00:11:02.580 sure this interview comes in because she's an incredible guest and we love the fact that she

00:11:06.380 gives us the opportunities that we have with her. And there's so much that's going on from the

00:11:12.080 Department of Justice level. And I wanted to get in. One of the things that we need to talk about,

00:11:16.580 of course, is the Save Act, the Save America Act, because we have to focus on the problem with

00:11:20.180 America's voter rolls. And we know this is coming up and we know that as we go into a midterm

00:11:25.520 election, this is huge. This is so absolutely important because it's a real simple question.

00:11:32.020 are illegal aliens voting in our elections? Have they been voting in our elections? And what's

00:11:37.280 interesting is that when Chuck Schumer came up last week and he said, well, if we pass the SAVE

00:11:42.460 Act, then tens of millions of people will be kicked off the voter rolls. And I said, wait a

00:11:46.620 minute. I thought you said that there ain't no illegals on the voter rolls. So if they're not

00:11:53.600 on the voter rolls, who's getting kicked off? It's really as simple as that. Are we good with

00:12:00.820 Harmeet, guys, we have the audio up.

00:12:03.560 Harmeet, let's try this again.

00:12:05.780 Okay.

00:12:06.580 Can you hear me now, Jack?

00:12:08.440 Ah, there it is.

00:12:09.580 Perfect.

00:12:10.180 All right.

00:12:10.840 We love when the technology is fun.

00:12:13.980 You know, there's this storm that's hitting D.C.

00:12:16.280 It's actually, funny enough, it's been a bunch of people have been saying they're getting technical difficulties with all sorts of systems today.

00:12:23.140 So I don't, and yep, our live camera is getting, you can start to see it now.

00:12:27.100 It's overcast.

00:12:27.900 The water's coming down.

00:12:28.900 So I appreciate you being on.

00:12:30.400 I know there's some issues with with weather in D.C. today. Yeah, actually, our building is shut down now.

00:12:35.520 So this is my last thing before I head home for safety. And this is very important.

00:12:39.620 So happy to discuss it with your audience. Well, I appreciate that so much.

00:12:43.720 And I was wondering, though, if I could, if you would indulge me, just given your legal background as well,

00:12:49.060 this question that, you know, we find ourselves in this fight for transparency in the Tyler Robinson criminal case,

00:12:55.640 this issue over cameras in the courtroom. And now this is a state level case, not a federal case.

00:13:00.820 But I was I was wondering if you could sort of put in perspective this, you know, this issue,

00:13:05.700 because we're here at Human Events standing for full transparency. Yes, obviously, we have a

00:13:10.460 direct tie to the case as well. But I certainly didn't think that this would be anything that

00:13:16.080 would be brought up by his lawyers. But they decided to name us in court on Friday.

00:13:20.620 Well, look, I mean, I wasn't really prepared to discuss this particular issue and the DOJ, I don't know, has a particular position on it or not.

00:13:28.960 Not from an official standpoint, of course, just a high level.

00:13:33.320 I think there are arguments on both sides. One of the arguments for is, of course, I've represented numerous media organizations and certainly I think the media should have the right to comment on things, whether that includes up to the extent of cameras in the courtroom, I think is a separate issue.

00:13:47.360 But definitely I've gone to court to fight for the right of the media to be able to report on cases.

00:13:52.300 And, you know, I've followed amicus briefs and even gone and represented journalists in that regard.

00:13:56.360 On the flip side, there's a concern that when you have cameras in the courtroom, it distorts how the judge rules on things and it distorts how the lawyers play to the cameras as opposed to to the jury.

00:14:09.180 And frankly, it intimidates some jurors.

00:14:11.480 And so I would say the main purpose of the criminal justice system is to obtain justice, and it then relies on both legislators as well as in some cases on a case-by-case basis judges to determine whether the prejudicial factor of a blow-by-blow of media reporting, a media circus, if you will, on a high-profile case may be inimical to that goal of justice.

00:14:35.280 And then you look at the OJ case and you look at some other cases where there have been cameras in the courtroom.

00:14:40.560 And, you know, I think it is a bit of a mixed bag. So I'll just leave it at that.

00:14:45.380 No, I certainly get what you're saying from that perspective.

00:14:47.300 I think I think in terms of this case, it's it's there's there's I'm not sure if there's any way to get it out from being so high profile.

00:14:54.100 It just it already is as it comes down. I did want to ask you, though, about the because we were talking here about the Save America Act.

00:15:00.960 We've been talking about it here on the show for months.

00:15:03.300 it feels like now. You're focused as well on the voter rolls. And ultimately, yes, I know there's

00:15:08.220 other provisions of it. This is all about trying to get bites on the same apple. Would the Save

00:15:14.960 America Act empower you at the Department of Justice to focus on these voter rolls? And can

00:15:20.340 you tell us what are some of the issues that we are looking at in terms of the voter rolls?

00:15:24.660 Well, Jack, as you know, for many years before I joined the department, I've been focused on

00:15:29.000 cleaning up our elections and increasing voter confidence as well as doing that from a partisan

00:15:34.320 perspective. And of course, now that I'm at the DOJ, we aren't partisan and I don't even

00:15:39.380 particularly take a position on pending legislation. That said, we already have tools

00:15:45.360 on the books that we're using here at the DOJ, some for the first time regarding our attorney

00:15:52.500 general's right under the 1960 Civil Rights Act to access and review these voter rolls and then

00:15:58.400 help states comply with their Help America Vote Act federal law requirements. We're doing that

00:16:04.180 in multiple ways. We're helping clean up the voter rolls, comparing them with some federal

00:16:08.060 databases, returning returns back to the states to help them do their jobs. Some of the states

00:16:14.160 are doing that voluntarily. Some of them are resisting doing their jobs and they're, I think,

00:16:19.400 obvious reasons for why they're resisting. But there's other aspects of the Help America Vote

00:16:23.800 Act. We're reminding states preemptively that if they don't do certain things, they could be in

00:16:29.280 violation. Some states have some funky record-keeping loopholes, if you will, like Minnesota's

00:16:38.060 vouching standard that allows one voter to vouch for up to state eight other voters regarding their

00:16:44.860 address, which is dilulu and inconsistent with federal law. And so we're in pre-litigation

00:16:55.000 discussions with them to try to get them to drop that. Some other states have been back and forth

00:17:00.580 with us, including North Carolina, which has a consent decree, and Arizona, who we're talking to

00:17:04.960 regarding some irregularities in their voter registration procedures that have led to people

00:17:10.060 being put on the voter rolls without any form of verification that they're citizens. And that's a

00:17:15.760 violation of federal law for federal elections. And so it's just a lot of record keeping and

00:17:22.040 admin type work that simply prior administrations haven't wanted to do. To the contrary, prior

00:17:27.640 administrations, particularly Democrat administrations, have actually sued states

00:17:32.420 that have tried to clean up their voter rolls voluntarily. I mean, Georgia had a, I think,

00:17:37.860 shambolic election in 2020. And as a result of that, they passed some legislation to clean up

00:17:44.780 their act. And then, of course, what did Merrick Garland do? He went and sued them over that to

00:17:49.860 punish them for cleaning it up. And so states get it on both sides. And I get why some of them feel

00:17:55.900 whiplash, because in the past, if they tried to take people off the voter rolls because they were

00:17:59.680 dead or hadn't voted for a number of years or maybe had moved, they got punished by the DOJ.

00:18:05.080 And now the DOJ is simply trying to follow the letter of the law and help states do that and make sure that particularly in this age of ballots being sent en masse through the mails in many jurisdictions, some states vote entirely by mail today, which, you know, maybe they're rural or what have you.

00:18:20.180 I think that's problematic. And it's especially problematic when you don't have perfect or near

00:18:26.180 perfect voter rolls. And so every citizen is entitled to know that the vote they cast is

00:18:30.840 going to count only with other American citizens and only once and only in that one state. Yet,

00:18:35.520 that is not the standard that we've been applying in this country. And so I'm really proud

00:18:38.800 to be the leader of this effort here at the DOJ and have the attorney general and the White House

00:18:44.240 is backing on it. Well, there's no question. And you've absolutely been a leader on it.

00:18:49.700 Thank you so much, Harmeet, and we'll have you right back over the break here.

00:18:53.600 Human Events Daily continues.

00:20:31.420 of early vote action as well as the senior fellow for app paula scanlon joins us here

00:20:38.720 human events daily paula how are you i'm good it's good to be back with you jack

00:20:42.840 Well, it's great to have you on. By the way, I've got to commend the fact, you know, you guys over at Early Vote Action with Scott Pressler, you're working so hard and have had so much success on the SAVE Act. I'm sure you're working hard behind the scenes. Do you have any information for us update wise on the SAVE Act as it stands right now? I know Scott's been putting a lot out.

00:21:06.220 I don't have any updates, but all I will say is it's something that needs to be passed. And so I urge the Senate to get that done. I really don't understand what the delay is. I think it's disappointing for us as American citizens that have voted for things like this. But I guess we'll see if it passes, but it's needed and it's necessary. And I urge, again, all of the people in the Senate to get this done.

00:21:26.920 it's it's 100 correct and and i i love what scott had put out before saying that um you know it's

00:21:35.900 possible that there's a consortium of house members that are joining together saying that

00:21:40.920 they're not i saw congressman gill uh tweeting about this and i i quoted him and spoke with him

00:21:45.440 a little bit over the weekend saying that he's not going to vote for any legislation that comes

00:21:48.620 from the senate that doesn't include the save america act and we just had harmy dylan on she

00:21:54.240 was talking about how how bad our voter roles are in this country and the fact that you guys have

00:22:00.360 looked at this we know scott has looked at it it's something where it's really simple do we want

00:22:04.640 secure elections or not we're going into midterms we've got a lot coming up in the midterms a lot

00:22:08.940 riding on this we need to be in a situation where only american voters are voting it's really simple

00:22:13.940 you would think yeah exactly that i mean this is something that i don't understand why people are

00:22:19.820 against it of course the democrats every time there's an issue that i'm looking at something

00:22:23.280 thinking it's bipartisan, whether it's what I went through with women's sports or call it anything

00:22:27.920 else. I'm looking at it saying this is a common sense thing. Of course, only Americans should

00:22:32.320 vote in American elections. It's the case in pretty much every other democratic country 0.72

00:22:35.800 in the entire world. Yet Democrats are suggesting that it's misogynistic somehow to say that we need

00:22:41.100 voter ID to be able to vote in elections. There's so many things you need an ID to do in this

00:22:46.260 country. Voting should absolutely be one of them. And for whatever reason, if you can't figure it

00:22:50.120 out and can't find the paperwork. I don't know. Maybe it's deserved that you can't vote. It's

00:22:54.840 really not that difficult. Everyone's able to have one. It's not racist. It's not misogynistic

00:22:58.860 yet. Here we are having no idea why the Democrats keep pushing it. It's because they want to cheat.

00:23:06.060 It's exactly because they want to cheat. There's no, there's no question about that.

00:23:10.560 And the fact that the Senate Republicans, look, I get that the Democrats are going to do that,

00:23:14.420 but what's the deal with the Senate Republicans though, Paula? Why won't the Senate Republicans

00:23:18.660 give this the interest, give this the level that it's due. And it's taking so many people

00:23:24.880 to have to push and put pressure on the Senate Republicans, and not all of them, to be fair.

00:23:29.580 There's some great senators like Senator Mike Lee and others that have been fighting tooth

00:23:33.020 and nail for this. But we shouldn't have to go to that level to get something that's so common

00:23:36.860 sense as this past. You know, exactly that. I mean, as a voter that voted for and helped

00:23:42.780 campaign for a lot of these people, unfortunately, in my home state, there's no Republican senators.

00:23:48.320 so I can't say that it was my state that did this, but it's really upsetting to see what's

00:23:52.700 going on here. And I think a lot of voters are very upset with this. They're feeling like what

00:23:57.500 they voted for to elect these officials is not getting done. And so the only thing I can say is

00:24:02.200 I just urge them to listen to the American people and to do their job. I mean, they're there to

00:24:06.000 represent the people that voted them in. And the lack of effort on this really makes us feel like

00:24:11.240 that's not the case. No, and this movement, whether you want to call it the MAGA movement,

00:24:20.360 the America First movement, whatever, if it's going to mean anything, just conservatism in

00:24:24.740 general, it's got to mean that American elections are secured by having only American people voting

00:24:31.240 in them. And you got Chuck Schumer up there saying, well, he says that tens of millions of

00:24:35.120 people are going to lose access to voting if we pass the Save America Act. But Chuck, I thought

00:24:40.160 you told me that there were no illegals voting. So which is it? Exactly that. I mean, the story

00:24:46.160 keeps changing. I really don't understand, again, what the drawbacks are here for them. But I think

00:24:51.220 it just shows really how corrupt the voting is. I mean, when I voted in Pennsylvania when I was

00:24:55.620 in college, I saw firsthand what was going on here. I saw people able to mail in a ballot and

00:25:00.820 vote in person. I mean, voter fraud is happening across this country. During the election, I

00:25:05.000 I remember back in 2024, we were sitting there all on standby hearing stories of suppression,

00:25:10.500 voter suppression, voter fraud in this country.

00:25:12.320 And it's something that's really upsetting that we have to look at.

00:25:14.900 And if we can't trust the outcomes of these votes, how can we trust anything that's going

00:25:19.840 on here?

00:25:20.320 So I think it's so important we clean this up.

00:25:22.480 Everyone should want this.

00:25:23.680 This should be bipartisan.

00:25:24.960 But yet here we are listening to Democrats calling it names, saying it's somehow, again,

00:25:29.440 racist and misogynist is all I keep hearing about this.

00:25:32.060 I do not understand how that is their answer to everything. Let's just have secure elections and figure the rest out afterwards. I don't understand why they're holding back here. But again, they lack common sense. And I think that we've seen that over the years. And I can't say that I'm surprised.

00:25:47.280 Well, look, this is the time for all the people who are in the grassroots, whether you are someone who is a full on Trump supporter, whether you're an independent, even if you're a Democrat, doesn't matter.

00:25:58.600 We will accept you. This is something that's about being an American.

00:26:03.140 And you've seen the polls on this thing. It is an 85-15 issue. It's a 90-10 issue.

00:26:08.360 This is something that polls unbelievably. It's across every demographic. People want the Save America Act.

00:26:15.200 and and paula even you look at yourself even as a woman you have found a way to be able to register

00:26:20.900 to vote i have i know it's shocking and surprising and also as a so-called minority i've also found

00:26:27.820 a way to vote and i've registered in multiple states because i moved to a different state

00:26:31.760 and was able to re-register and vote wow you were able to move and vote again paula scannon hold on 0.99

00:26:37.360 a second i want to hold you over for we'll have libby edmonds joining us here in the next segment 1.00

00:26:41.700 human events continues somehow these women just keep registering to revolt i don't know 1.00

00:26:46.860 how it is and wow look at that shot from the white house you can see the storm is

00:26:50.820 rolling in wow this is getting serious

00:26:52.540 jack where's jack where is he jack i want to see you

00:27:03.080 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always

00:27:10.520 talking about the fake news and the bad. But we have guys and these are the guys should be getting

00:27:15.480 policies. All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back. Human events daily. You see there the live shot

00:27:22.760 of the White House, this storm rolling in. You can see the droplets there on on our live screen,

00:27:30.640 the tornado watch in effect for the nation's capital. President Trump still at work. You also

00:27:38.320 just noticed something. I can't believe I didn't see this before. The flags are down. So you see

00:27:42.820 the large flags. Wow, look at that. The large flags that President Trump added to the north

00:27:49.900 and south lawns of the White House have been taken down because they're predicting 60 to 70

00:27:55.420 mile an hour winds. Those would destroy those flags. And so you're seeing those flags are down

00:28:00.720 right now. And we're going to keep an eye on this. People are looking for potential tornadoes and

00:28:05.520 certainly high winds, and that's something that absolutely do a lot of damage to flags. I remember

00:28:08.780 being in the Navy, and it was the same exact protocol. If you're going to have weather like

00:28:12.300 that, you've got to take the flags down. Folks, let me tell you something straight up. I'm a picky

00:28:16.820 man. I'm extremely picky about what I put in my body and what companies I support, and one of those

00:28:22.120 is Blackout Coffee. Blackout Coffee, they check every single box. We're talking about a family-run

00:30:01.660 right really excited now we're going to do a little bit of a panel here human events three up panel

00:30:05.560 we've got paula scanlan that we held over and we're now bringing in libby emmons from the

00:30:10.280 postmillennial and human events libby how are you i'm good jack thanks so libby actually let me let

00:30:17.160 me ask you this um kind of a non sequitur from what we'd planned but the fact that and i'd have

00:30:23.120 to get your take on this. The fact that Tyler Robinson and his lawyers were openly attacking

00:30:30.600 the letter that you and I wrote to the court, which set off in motion, this entire chain of

00:30:35.960 events about having cameras in the courtroom. Erica came out and in an interview and said that

00:30:41.060 she wants cameras in the courtroom. You then saw multiple media organizations filing motions 0.86

00:30:46.760 regarding this. Why is Tyler Robinson's legal team going after human events by name over this issue?

00:30:54.640 Because they don't want cameras in the courtroom and they know that we made really good arguments

00:30:58.860 and they don't want anyone to hear those arguments. And that's why they are really

00:31:02.140 interested in obfuscating this trial as much as possible in making sure that the American people

00:31:07.600 do not see what goes on in the courtroom. They have been obsessed with preventing press from

00:31:13.580 having any information about the trial. They really don't like how it's been portrayed on

00:31:18.720 social media and they don't like how it's been portrayed in the press. And those are things

00:31:23.360 that they can't control. They can't control the press, first amendment rights. And so they're 0.85

00:31:27.780 trying to control what goes on in the courtroom and making sure that people can't see it.

00:31:33.360 And that's right. I think that's right. And, and, and again, we saw that picture of him smirking

00:31:38.980 in the courtroom and they can't control their client. And that's why they want to ban him and

00:31:44.520 block him from the cameras. This smirk that he has on his face, they can't control it. It's as

00:31:50.280 simple as that. So we'll do a little bit of a round round. Paula Scanlon, I want to ask you

00:31:54.180 now, one of the headlines that we keep getting in over and over, Gen Z and the war, Gen Z and the

00:32:01.340 war, the reaction of Gen Z to the Iran strikes, to the situation in Iran, everything that's going

00:32:08.060 on over there. I wanted to kind of get your take on that. You run in these circles yourself. What

00:32:13.260 are you hearing? You know, yeah, there's a lot of people who are very against it. And I understand

00:32:18.300 that. I think in general, right, when we look at wars, young people are generally less likely to

00:32:22.620 be pro-war because first, if there's some type of draft, right, those would be the people going in.

00:32:26.880 They're more concerned about things going on at home because they're young in their careers or

00:32:30.520 they can't afford homes. And it makes sense why young people generally speaking are against wars.

00:32:34.000 What I will say on this particular issue is I, as a 26-year-old, will never once imagine to know the level of intel and information that President Trump has as his administration, okay?

00:32:44.180 There's plenty I do not know about Iran, and I don't think I know enough to have a strong opinion to say, you know, this is what Trump should be doing.

00:32:51.960 I'm in no position to know more than the President of the United States of America.

00:32:55.620 And so I will say about Gen Z, is that something a lot of people don't consider?

00:32:58.820 There's a lot of people who are voicing these opinions do not know in specific and are still able to freely say, which they should be allowed to.

00:33:06.320 But I do understand also that Gen Z people in general, again, are not seeing the full picture here. 0.62

00:33:11.440 They're not the president. They don't have the same information he does.

00:33:14.480 And so that can kind of explain this mismatch going on here.

00:33:17.620 And it's not surprising. Again, young people are always sort of in this position.

00:33:21.600 And this does not shock me in the slightest.

00:33:23.100 and no it doesn't libby emmons you're someone who participated in the anti-war movement

00:33:30.540 in 2003 for iraq what is your take here yeah i'm not a big fan of foreign wars and i'm not a big

00:33:38.140 fan of this one i wasn't a big fan of iraq either i will say that now that we are involved in this

00:33:44.460 my primary interest in me is making sure that the u.s comes out on top and that our troops come

00:33:49.900 home safely. And that is really my entire concern here. And I think that there will be plenty of

00:33:55.320 time after this is over. Hopefully it's over in a short period of time. President Trump had said

00:34:00.300 at the outset, four to five weeks. We're coming up on that. We're, I think, in the third week now.

00:34:05.580 So we'll see how that goes. He's also said that it's open-ended. And we've seen from CENTCOM that

00:34:10.960 they are preparing for this to go through September. I don't know that the American

00:34:15.060 people have the stomach for a long, drawn-out conflict in the Middle East. I'm not sure that

00:34:20.060 that's going to be what people are interested in voting for when it comes to the 2026 midterms,

00:34:26.700 but I do know that the American people are heartful enough and smart enough to know that

00:34:31.740 an escalation like this is best when America wins, and that what's best for our troops is

00:34:37.500 what's best for the country. It certainly is. Now, I want to jump topics again here on our

00:34:42.920 round robin panel to the oscars and i wanted to play this clip from the oscars last night let's

00:34:50.080 throw it up guys i should warn you tonight could get political okay and if that makes you

00:34:57.440 uncomfortable there's an alternate oscars being hosted by kid rock yeah it's at the david busters

00:35:04.040 down the street a lot of tickets for that all right so uh libby emmons you know we just uh

00:35:10.880 what's up producer fuzz good to see you on uh uh hanging out there and libby emmons wanted to ask

00:35:16.220 you what's going on why is it that conan o'brien just if you were just going after the turning

00:35:21.800 point halftime show i yeah i thought it was actually a win for turning point that we went

00:35:26.780 after the halftime show and if there was a kid rock hosted dave and buster's award ceremony down

00:35:32.740 the street i would totally go to that and i would get in some skeeball while i was there um yeah

00:35:37.880 Conan O'Brien had a laugh at Turning Point's expense and it wasn't really at their expense

00:35:42.980 because Turning Point did such a kick-ass job on their halftime show. And also it speaks to the

00:35:48.020 fact that most Americans are not particularly interested in watching these lavish awards

00:35:52.400 ceremonies. We all know that they're getting like thousands and thousands of dollars in little gift

00:35:56.800 bags backstage and that they love awarding themselves these special prizes, you know,

00:36:03.240 and I think most of us are not that interested in watching them do it anymore.

00:36:08.560 Paula Scanlon, when it comes to Gen Z, when it comes to you, do the Oscars still rate the way

00:36:14.460 they used to? You know, I didn't even know the Oscars were happening, guys, off screen before

00:36:19.680 we started this segment. I actually asked, what are the Oscars for? Is this acting or music?

00:36:24.160 Because I had no idea. I might be the exception. I've never once followed these Hollywood events.

00:36:29.440 Do you know what I spent my night doing last night? Watching Selection Sunday and thinking

00:36:32.980 about what I'm going to be doing in my March Madness bracket. So maybe this is just telling

00:36:36.360 for me but i think that these out of touch hollywood celebrities doing much of anything

00:36:40.380 is not something i'm interested in i looked through the list of winners for this oscars and

00:36:45.380 i'm going to be honest i have never seen one of the movies that were involved and i haven't even

00:36:49.040 heard of most of the actors who have won these awards and so maybe that's just me but it's not

00:36:54.600 something that really piqued my interest and again them making jokes like that i wouldn't even have

00:36:59.320 known that if you hadn't showed me that clip no exactly and they're just jealous because at the

00:37:03.800 end of the day we had double i'm looking at this we had double the ratings of the oscars we had

00:37:08.160 40 million in the first 24 hours uh that's households by the way they're they're lucky

00:37:12.720 if they broke 19 the oscars and by the way i'm just gonna say it they've become the award show

00:37:17.560 for the most anti-white woke film that people can make paula scanlon libby edmonds thank you so much

00:37:22.960 for joining us here today human events right back guys that storm continues wow look at it look at

00:37:28.300 down there at the white house this storm is really serious

00:37:35.020 the jack basobic appreciation hour i can say confidently i believe i think josh

00:37:39.500 shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for jack basobic and that that is

00:37:51.980 all right folks jack so big back live human events daily real america's voice and folks

00:37:56.300 Guys, leave that shot up. Look at this. This is the White House right now. The flags are down.

00:38:02.500 Now, we don't have control over this shot, but I want to I want to look at the trees a little bit to see whether or not the trees are starting to whip back and forth.

00:38:09.940 We know the storm is expected to be hitting the White House with full force here just in the next couple of minutes.

00:38:18.700 And so you look at what's going on. That's why the flags are down, of course.

00:38:21.580 But the president is still at work. The president could have stayed down in Florida.

00:38:24.540 The president could have, you know, obviously worked in the Southern White House, the Winter White House.

00:38:28.800 Still a little bit of winter, I suppose, but it's, you know, we're getting very, very closely.

00:38:32.440 The first day of spring is Saturday. So the president is hard at work while the storm commences there at the White House.

00:38:40.480 But yes, those large flags, those large flags removed there at the White House.

00:38:46.120 I wanted to get into something that I discussed while making my media rounds this morning,

00:38:51.440 that one of the things that people have been saying, and I keep hearing this back and forth

00:38:56.240 regarding the Iran situation, has to do with boots on the ground. Where are the boots on the ground?

00:39:04.320 What's going on? Is this Marine Expeditionary Unit, which is headed? So what's currently

00:39:09.340 happening is the Marine Expeditionary Unit, which is the 31st, they're based out of Japan,

00:39:14.260 they were conducting operations in Asia, they are now speeding and steaming at full speed,

00:39:20.400 You know, not quite flying speed, but certainly very quickly through the Strait of Malacca, down through Malaysia, and then up to the Persian Gulf, where they will arrive in about a week's time or so, maybe about a week, week and a half at that speed.

00:39:35.300 They're going to pick up a couple littoral combat craft and some others to bring them

00:39:40.340 on board, and then they will be on station to be able to provide what the president would

00:39:45.700 refer to in the military community as optionality.

00:39:49.440 Optionality will be given to the president regarding boots on the ground.

00:39:53.760 And the biggest piece that everyone's talked about over and over, they keep saying, well,

00:39:57.800 we need boots on the ground potentially for Karg Island, that Karg Island is necessary

00:40:03.760 to be taken so that the Iranian economy will then be severed from the Iranian leadership.

00:40:12.480 And Kargah Island, why is this important? Because 90% of Iran's oil flows through this island. It's

00:40:18.120 an island processing center just up the coast of Iran, where they then have the ability to load and

00:40:24.200 offload their ships. And those ships then are sent out through the Strait of Hormuz, down through the

00:40:28.900 Gulf, out through the strait, and then on predominantly towards China. So this is a key 0.59

00:40:33.460 node in China's energy resources. And why does this matter? Their Belt and Road Initiative.

00:40:40.280 Because this entire thing, if you look at Ukraine, you look at Iran, what's it really all about?

00:40:44.420 China and Russia. And President Trump has always said that everything is about China and Russia

00:40:48.460 and getting them on sides. It's also why early this morning you heard what? Caroline Levitt,

00:40:53.700 Press Secretary, and then Secretary Besant both sort of came out and said,

00:40:57.280 looks like that meeting that was planned for later this month or in April is going to be

00:41:03.400 postponed. The meeting between President Trump and Xi Jinping, which was meant to take place,

00:41:08.540 by the way, in Beijing, in China. So the president was going to fly to China. It looks like that

00:41:12.960 at the moment has been taken off the cards. But it was not in the cards. But I want to talk about

00:41:19.760 the Kargisland situation and as pertains to the Persian Gulf so that everyone can get

00:41:25.880 some understanding on this. This is this is key, because it's being presented in the media as some

00:41:33.160 sort of binary situation that either President Trump has to put boots on the ground, or he has

00:41:39.380 to destroy all of the oil infrastructure of Karg Island, which is located in the Persian Gulf. We've

00:41:45.800 got numerous maps on this. And what we can do then is to say, well, Mr. President, you've got

00:41:52.120 to choose one or the other, either destroy all the infrastructure, put boots on the ground,

00:41:55.220 destroy all the oil infrastructure, put boots on the ground. Those are the only two options.

00:41:59.420 And obviously, the reason being is that they want boots on the ground. There's a lot of people like

00:42:03.760 Lindsey Graham, who's been jestergooning for a wider war, who wants the mission creep, who wants 0.99

00:42:07.800 boots on the ground, who wants to see the U.S. engulfed and entrenched in a much wider war in

00:42:12.420 Iran with those boots on the ground, which, of course, would certainly come under fire because

00:42:16.320 Karga Island is under, could potentially be under direct artillery fire because it's within range

00:42:22.520 of Iranian conventional artillery, not to mention drones, not to mention missiles, et cetera,

00:42:27.580 et cetera. But are those really the only two options? I don't think so. And this is something

00:42:33.460 where the tactical and the strategic picture are actually connected. So let's talk tactics for a

00:42:38.860 second here. What is the goal? What's the operational goal? Well, if the operational

00:42:43.260 goal here is to sever the oil flow, there's a couple options that you could be given that the

00:42:48.860 United States has on his desk today if he wants them. Number one, the pier itself. You don't have

00:42:55.700 to be a Navy intelligence officer to know that the US Navy can take out a pier. We've been doing it 0.74

00:43:02.340 for 200 years. You can take out the pier and then guess what? The boat can't park. If the boat can't

00:43:09.240 park, it's called mooring. So if you take out its ability to moor, then the boat cannot be loaded

00:43:15.700 with its cargo, in this case, oil. So there are many ways to neutralize the island without having

00:43:23.600 to take out these wider facilities. This, of course, could apply to numerous other implements

00:43:29.560 there. And by the way, then if they tried to repair the piers, well, all you have to do is

00:43:33.780 go take out the repair ship too. I mean, it's really not that hard. This actually can be done

00:43:38.140 from the air. There's no real necessity for this whatsoever to be done by boots on the ground or

00:43:44.960 for the from like a carpet bombing situation. So I don't really get why people are trying to say

00:43:49.700 that. From a technical perspective, I know why they're saying it from a strategic perspective,

00:43:54.420 because they want something else. And that's one of the problems that you have in any of

00:43:58.000 these situations that people don't actually say what they mean. They say something else,

00:44:02.740 because they don't want to say what their truth is. So you don't need boots on the ground to take

00:44:07.440 Carter Island to neutralize them and take them out of the fight. That's number one.

00:44:10.980 Also, by the way, cyber, cyber offensive capabilities could be used here very quickly.

00:44:16.020 So anything that has a computer in it that has to do with the loading and unloading of

00:44:20.180 oil on any of the ships out of Iran, you could fry it in a second. 0.59

00:44:24.260 Israel themselves did this all the way back in 2010 when they used the Stuxnet virus.

00:44:28.240 It was sort of a worm to shut down Iran's oil infrastructure and oil, or excuse me, 0.88

00:44:32.320 their nuclear research program was easily done and done so overnight by getting this 0.79

00:44:37.300 virus into their systems.

00:44:38.920 Really simple.

00:44:40.060 You could do that as well for Karg Island.

00:44:42.560 Now they don't have the ability to load the ships

00:44:44.920 because the computers can't talk to each other.

00:44:47.380 Now there's other options as well.

00:44:49.080 So if you're talking about the oil flow,

00:44:50.920 if that's really what you're going after,

00:44:52.680 why target the island at all? 0.88

00:44:54.600 Use the Strait of Hormuz to your benefit 0.74

00:44:56.300 because all of the oil that is going to be coming 0.82

00:44:58.900 from Karg Island also has to go through

00:45:02.720 the maritime choke point of the Strait of Hormuz.

00:45:05.440 And so what could you do then?

00:45:07.540 You could seize the oil.

00:45:09.720 the same way that we've seen the United States Navy. Remember, just a couple of months ago,

00:45:13.360 the U.S. Navy was seizing those Venezuelan tankers. The Russian ghost fleet was being

00:45:18.300 seized on, you know, up in the northern Atlantic and places not too far off the coast of Greenland,

00:45:22.900 by the way, so many other areas. So again, this choke point is a problem for the Iranians as well.

00:45:29.720 It's a risk for them as well. Seize the oil. Just seize it. It's really simple. And then if China 1.00

00:45:35.440 wants it, guess what? China could cut a deal with the Americans because that's exactly what the

00:45:39.860 president wants. He wants China to come to the negotiating table. Now, of course, the president

00:45:45.240 knows this. The president knows everything that's going on. He knows that he's using these key

00:45:49.640 leverage points as well as he conducts this operation. We're now entering week three of it.

00:45:55.500 So we'll do questions of the day tomorrow. We didn't do one today, but question of the day

00:46:00.340 for tomorrow will be as follows. How do you feel about the Iran operation as we enter week three?

00:46:06.780 And our email is 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com. How do you feel about the

00:46:13.620 Iran operation as we enter week three? President of the United States clearly has a plan in place.

00:46:20.260 President Trump is a generational leader. President Trump is a transformative leader.

00:46:24.540 And when you have a generational leader, a transformative leader, you are going to require,

00:46:29.340 You're going to absolutely require change.

00:46:31.540 You're going to need change.

00:46:32.600 And it's through that change that we get great things.

00:46:37.520 By the way, guys, throw that shot of the White House up again.

00:46:40.980 I think I actually thought I just saw a lightning flash there.

00:46:43.900 I'm not sure.

00:46:44.920 But we know the storm is definitely hitting.

00:46:47.200 We know the storm is getting hot and heavy there tonight or today, I should say, in Washington, D.C.

00:46:54.760 And it certainly will be continuing tonight.

00:46:57.140 So pray for the president.

00:46:58.060 pray for everyone who's in the storm's way, and certainly pray for our troops who are in harm's

00:47:04.600 way as well as the troops that are on their way to harm's way. Ladies and gentlemen, as always,

00:47:09.680 you have my permission to lay ashore.
