With no end in sight, and the U.S. now careening toward a hunger crisis, 48 states now warning if the shutdown continues by the end of the week, they ll be forced to stop distributing SNAP food assistance. The FBI makes an arrest in a chilling murder-for-hire plot targeting Attorney General Pam Bondi. The man accused of assassinating conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was back in court today, but he did not show his face.
00:01:22.420And, of course, there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer.
00:01:28.280We take that responsibility very seriously.
00:01:32.180But it is one of the few leveraged times we have.
00:01:35.920The Department of Justice is getting involved with New Jersey's election, announcing the agency will monitor polling sites in Passaic County to, quote,
00:01:43.440ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law.
00:01:48.260U.S. kills 14 alleged drug traffickers in strikes on four boats in Eastern Pacific.
00:01:54.320That's according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
00:01:57.180Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes
00:02:02.480on four vessels operated by designated terrorist organizations trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific.
00:02:08.640The FBI making an arrest in a chilling murder-for-hire plot targeting Attorney General Pam Bondi.
00:02:16.880The man accused of assassinating conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was back in court today.
00:02:22.68022-year-old Tyler Robinson appeared virtually in Utah, but he did not show his face.
00:02:28.720Today, that judge granted a motion to appear in street clothes moving forward, but denied his request to appear without restraints.
00:02:36.960The judge said that there were some safety concerns, and also the charges against him are very, very serious.
00:02:48.140All right, Jack Vazovic, here we are live, Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
00:02:53.860We are here today as October 28, 2025, Anno Domini.
00:02:58.340Well, folks, as you know, we've been covering the murder of Charlie Kirk since literally the very moment that it happened here on Human Events Daily.
00:03:09.540I was live the day that Charlie was shot.
00:04:00.600In the Fourth Judicial District Court of Provo for the county of Utah, state of Utah,
00:04:06.620the defendants reply to sheriff's response to motion to appear at all in-person proceedings in civilian clothing without restraints and random in support.
00:04:14.380OK, so so this these are the lawyers, Catherine Nestor, Richard Novak, Michael Burt and Stacey Visser.
00:05:04.000The court should limit media coverage or video and photographic coverage at the least.
00:05:09.660So defendants physical appearance is no longer the subject of interest.
00:05:13.160And he has some chance of securing a fair and impartial jury.
00:05:15.840So they're trying to say they're now trying to say that showing the defendant is prejudicial to just showing him, just showing him as a defendant.
00:05:27.940So what they're doing here is they're trying to play games with the case, play games with all of this and get to the point where and now listen to this.
00:05:37.060They want television cameras to not be allowed in the courtroom of the criminal case or where television news crews are, quote unquote, turned loose on those eager to obtain fame or fortune concerning a pending trip.
00:06:28.920And the fair trial does not change because you see a picture of Tyler Robinson.
00:06:34.780It changes when you get the evidence, all the evidence and all of it in public.
00:06:40.880Now, by the way, not just for the fairness of the trial, but for the good of the country, for the public interest.
00:06:47.380And so I announced earlier today, and I'll say here as well, Human Events is currently preparing an open letter that we will be filing with the court in Utah, calling for an opposition to this ban and the allowance of full live streaming and full camera access for the entire proceedings of the trial.
00:07:06.120We'll get into that and more later on with Will Chamberlain.
00:08:32.920But if you want to go a little bit more premium, you got the American Wagyu beef tallow, $12 a jar, and with a rich, buttery taste that you're absolutely going to love.
00:09:06.380You're going to love their beef tallow.
00:09:08.040Now, we've been talking about the rise of political violence, particularly from the left, and we've also been talking about left-wing networked violence.
00:09:18.380We participated in a White House panel discussion, a roundtable on that, but there was one man who I believe, there's a lot of people who could have been there and should have been there, et cetera, but there's one man that I definitely wanted in that room, and though he wasn't there that day,
00:09:33.280I wanted to kind of pick his brain on this because he's an absolute expert on the networks, on the money, on connecting the dots, and his name is Mike Benz.
00:09:48.580So, Benz, we spent a lot of time while we were in there talking about, you know, for my part, I talked about how the violence is getting worse, how we see these tactics moving now more towards assassinations as opposed to the traditional black bloc protests
00:10:01.840or the violence against, you know, a random Starbucks or random cars, that type of thing.
00:10:06.340We're now seeing more and more targeted violence, including asymmetric threats such as assassinations.
00:10:12.640I even went on CNN and walked them through this.
00:10:15.420I'm not sure if they understood, but I tried to do what I could to explain it to CNN.
00:10:20.400But, Benz, when we hear the response from these types, they say, well, Antifa is decentralized.
00:10:35.360Go to any one of these Antifa websites, although they're getting rarer and rarer as so many of them are starting to shut down right now to try to hide their own secrets.
00:10:44.020But they all have .org as their websites.
00:11:37.160And one way to understand it and to try to depoliticize it a little bit for a second here, there were very radical right-wing decentralized cluster cells of networks for political influence operations and brass knuckles, breaking up meetings, acts of domestic terrorism that were conducted in the 20th century under what's known today as Operation Gladio.
00:12:02.380This was a NATO network of stay-behind groups, paramilitary street militias in Italy, in Central and Eastern Europe.
00:12:12.580There were dozens of these cluster cells that were organized in a decentralized fashion where it brought together basically captains of industry, government regulators, international aid organizations, and then violent political, at the time, right-wing anti-communist forces that were secretly working with the Central Intelligence Agency and NATO's political affairs units
00:12:40.440in order to nudge domestic politics in order to nudge domestic politics country by country in the emerging soup of the Democrat turbulence post-World War II from the 1940s to the early 1990s.
00:12:51.820And this was done because we were fighting a cold war against international communism and these stay-behind networks, which were licensed to do dirty work and were on the ground in the streets, were essentially sanctioned by U.S. and NATO intelligence to do a department of dirty tricks of violent activities often in order to stop the emergence of left-wing communism.
00:13:19.220I believe the best way to understand Antifa and its various connective tissues at the foundation level, at the nonprofit level, and at the U.S. government level is as a left-wing counter-populist faction organized with a very similar structure and for a very similar purpose that the right-wing anti-communist cluster cells were set up internationally during the Cold War.
00:13:44.560The difference is the American people have not known until just the past few years that this type of structure even existed or that we were even in a kind of second Cold War against international Trumpism in the way that there was an initial Cold War against international communism.
00:14:03.300And so you've got these leave-behind networks, you've got them bounced out, and by the way, and you and I have talked about this, that's exactly what I told the president when I was in the room.
00:14:15.040I pointed out that all of this goes back to World War II.
00:14:20.100If you look at the way that Antifa was used as the international arm of the Bolsheviks to destabilize countries like revolutionary Spain and like the Weimar Republic,
00:14:30.120and certainly we all saw what the destabilization of the Weimar Republic turned into if you go back to the 1920s, 1930s.
00:14:36.180But it was always meant to be the international arm of the revolution, funded by the Russian people, funded by looting the Russian treasury.
00:14:46.140And so you fast forward that to the Cold War era, and they were using it for the exact same thing.
00:14:51.880So when President Trump brought up that question, should they be designated a foreign terrorist organization, you'll notice that I was the first one.
00:14:59.280I said, yes, Mr. President, absolutely.
00:15:01.180They have networks all across Western Europe, and in fact, people are looking at it a little bit backwards if they think that Antifa started here.
00:15:08.800Antifa started in Western and Eastern Europe and then came to the United States, not the other way around.
00:15:15.500That's why these leave-behind networks are so important, and that's the way they were set up in the very first instance.
00:15:22.040It's exactly right, and it's a seamless interchange.
00:15:24.440As you've covered, Mark Bray is the Antifa professor at, I believe, Rutgers, and then as soon as he feels he's running into legal trouble, tries to flee to Spain to join up with cluster networks there.
00:15:38.800And there is this kind of – I think Michael Lodenthal, another Antifa professor and organizer, described in one of his books, he called it networked clandestiny, this kind of secrecy and this cluster cell organization they refer to as a network of networks.
00:16:00.200This is the exact same language, by the way, that NATO used during the Integrity Initiative, where they targeted right-wing nationalist forces in Spain.
00:16:11.360Pedro Baños, famously, his nomination to be the security director, the military head in Spain, was nuked by a clandestine operation by NATO called the Integrity Initiative, of which, according to the documents, both Ann Applebaum and Nina Jankovic were a part of.
00:16:29.960They were part of the U.K. inner cluster cell of this NATO-funded secret influence network.
00:16:37.260And if you look country by country in Europe and around the world, it is impossible to disentangle the goals of Antifa and the goals of the Joe Biden, Barack Obama, CIA, State Department, and USAID.
00:16:52.260Look at, for example, what Antifa does in Germany, targeting the AFD party, the right-wing populist party there.
00:17:02.440Look at what they do in Spain, targeting the Vox party.
00:17:05.320Look at what they do in France, targeting Marine Le Pen.
00:17:08.480Look at what they do in Brazil, targeting Bolsonaro.
00:17:11.940Look at what they do in Belarus, targeting Lukashenko.
00:17:14.800It is impossible to see a lick of daylight between the foreign policy goals of the Central Intelligence Agency, under Joe Biden and Barack Obama, and the on-the-ground domestic political actions of Antifa as a kind of street muscle.
00:17:31.300It's all the way down to the commercial investments of the political donors to the DNC.
00:17:38.020As George Soros and Bill Gates and Tom Steyer and Al Gore and all of these billionaires with multibillion-dollar assets under investment management funds are promoting things like climate change and shifting profits within the energy, the global energy market, to portfolio companies that require government mandates to wean off of fossil fuels and into renewables or ethanol-based fuels.
00:18:04.700George Soros and Al Gore and Tom Steyer and this entire DNC investor class are pre-invested in those markets, while Antifa serves as an eco-fascist battering ramp to promote those stocks.
00:18:17.580The same thing in the public health space.
00:18:19.700Look at how Antifa brings up anti-vaccine protests.
00:18:24.460They're the paramilitary arm of Pfizer.
00:18:29.020And they don't even realize it half the time because they aren't in that part of the cluster.
00:18:33.880We're coming up on a quick break, but I just want to point out that not only did Mark Bray head over to Spain, seamlessly integrate with Spanish anarchists, which is exactly what we saw during the Spanish Civil War, he's publicly identified himself as part of the Black Rose Anarchist Federation.
00:18:51.300He stated this, and he stated that he participated in the Hamburg attack on the G20, where they were burning cars, and he specifically talked about how he was targeting luxury vehicles to make sure they didn't burn any working-class cars, only wanted to target those of the wealthy.
00:19:08.340Again, this is a guy who's now taking Dr. Antifa, who's taking a taxpayer-funded vacation to Spain.
00:19:42.440What if those who were once called conspiracy theorists turned out to be, well, right again?
00:19:48.180A new study by Korean doctors claimed that COVID vaccines raise the risk of six cancers, including lung, breast, and prostate.
00:19:57.780Now, researchers analyzed health records for more than 8.4 million adults between 2021 and 2023.
00:20:03.240And findings were then published in Biomarker Research.
00:20:08.260This is a respected scientific journal.
00:20:11.000Critics dismiss it, but the data raises concerns that spike protein exposure may be tied to long-term health risks.
00:20:17.980Dr. Peter McCullough has been aware of this since 2020, which is why he collaborated with The Wellness Company to create Ultimate Spike Detox,
00:20:27.300which is designed to help your body clear spike proteins, reduce inflammation, and support heart health.
00:20:31.920With natural ingredients like the tequanase, dandelion root, and bromelain, it's your daily proactive defense from a man-made virus.
00:20:39.300Don't wait until symptoms strike or something unexpected happens.
00:20:42.680Experience the only formula approved and used by Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the top doctors who risked it all.
00:20:49.800Head to twc.health.poso and use promo code POSO to get 10% off plus free shipping.
00:20:55.440Again, that's twc.health.poso and use promo code POSO for 10% off.
00:21:10.660They've got direct action militants and agitators.
00:21:14.700The question is, what should the federal government be doing and where should they be looking in terms to break up these networks, to disrupt these operations,
00:21:24.180and ultimately to stop these activities from destroying our society like the cancer that it is?
00:21:32.680I consider Antifa and U.S. government adjacencies to it to be part of the weaponization toolkit that the Biden administration used that spanned lawfare, FBI targeting and the like.
00:21:47.780I consider paramilitary street violence and the condoning of it or the tactical tacit blessings for it to be a part of that weaponization toolkit.
00:21:58.380And Tulsi Gabbard at ODNI just stood up an interagency working group on weaponization of intelligence and foreign affairs type functions.
00:22:08.600This spans ODNI, CIA, State Department, USAID, FBI, DHS, and other equities.
00:22:15.740I believe that, for example, search terms can be inputted into internal searches at USAID, the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency.
00:22:25.920And you can start right there and simply put in terms like Antifa or anti-fascist or authoritarian in these type terms and start with a basic review of all files around, for example, energy policy in Germany.
00:22:42.360The Biden administration blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.
00:22:45.940The Antifa groups in Germany were champing at the bit for that and have been used as a battering ram against the AFD party there.
00:22:52.620We were giving tens of millions of dollars in aid to various organizations within Germany.
00:23:00.420You can start right there and simply look for all Antifa adjacencies blessed by the foreign policy establishment or used or even had peripheral awareness by CIA, State Department, USAID, with Antifa networks that were going against those agencies' political enemies.
00:23:18.200I think it is impossible that there are no linkages there.
00:23:21.700You start with that and you make it sunlight, the best disinfectant.
00:23:29.400Now, what you'll hear from the national security state is, oh, you can't disclose the involvement of the U.S. government and Antifa in Germany
00:23:37.920because then no other dissident group will want to work with the United States knowing that their cover will be blown
00:23:44.060because the U.S. government betrayed these Antifa groups by disclosing internal memos and conversations with various leaders on the ground.
00:23:57.100If you use this as a sword abroad, for example, if you use Antifa networks to go after the AFD party in Germany or Marine Le Pen's movement in France,
00:24:06.840you can't use that secrecy as a shield at home because Antifa operates here at home.
00:24:12.440So I think it starts with taking the lid off of the den of vipers, the cage that they've been with classification and simply exposing the snakes inside to sunlight.
00:24:27.420Given how the layers of secrecy and OPSEC that Antifa moves through, that itself will have a tremendous on-the-ground impact in those countries themselves,
00:24:37.300potentially violating FARA-type laws if these were not disclosed in accordance with each country's process.
00:24:45.460For example, we know that Syria units were, according to Rolling Stone, the closest allies on the ground of the U.S. military in Syria
00:24:53.460as we were backing the ISIS and al-Qaeda forces against Bashar al-Assad.
00:24:59.280We know because the military was working directly with these Antifa units,
00:25:03.820we know that there is connective tissue between the U.S. military, the Central Intelligence Agency, and Antifa in Syria.
00:25:10.080Does anyone doubt those linkages in Germany or France or in other European and Latin American countries?
00:25:17.460And Mike, by the way, those linkages that you're talking about, the foreign fighter flows that we saw traveling to YPG and other affiliates,
00:25:25.580it wasn't just American Antifa that were coming.
00:25:28.180They were sourcing them from Germany. They were sourcing them from Greece.
00:25:31.120They were using that area of northeastern Syria as a training ground for Antifa to receive battlefield experience.
00:25:38.880And in fact, I know of at least one individual who received that battlefield training and then traveled back in 2019,
00:25:45.580then traveled back to the United States to participate in what?
00:25:48.720The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, where he was manning the armed barricades in Chaz in Seattle just a year later.
00:25:55.540That's right. They go straight from targeting the CIA's enemies abroad to the CIA's political enemies here at home.
00:26:02.080That's how this international network works. And the capacity building for it moves through foundations.
00:26:06.940And this is really the layer that I think would break this whole thing open.
00:26:10.120You take a place like the Tide Center, the Tide Center, which gives the 501c3 to the Black Lives Matter Global Action Group
00:26:18.760and to many of these Antifa funding pass throughs.
00:26:22.420The Tide Center, as I've documented, has gotten about twenty seven million dollars in U.S.
00:26:27.760State Department and USAID grants for some very peculiar things,
00:26:31.300including the Tide Center getting a two point five million dollar grant to, quote,
00:26:36.060secure concrete commitments from foreign governments on behalf of the U.S.
00:26:40.220State Department. And this is the group that is giving the 501c3 to a nonprofit status,
00:26:47.560the fiscal sponsor to these Antifa groups and these BLM Street Muscle groups in 2020.
00:26:53.620Tony, how is this foundation serving as the shadow diplomat formally for the U.S.
00:27:00.260government internationally and getting funded?
00:27:02.500They need to be fully investigated. Mike Benz, Mike Benz, we're up against the hard-out.
00:27:09.500Declassify all of it. Benz, we'll get you in.
00:27:12.340We will do the work of digging all the way down on this like any.
00:27:16.960Please go follow Mike Benz, Mike Benz Cyber across all platforms.
00:27:20.980We'll be right back. Jack. Where's Jack?
