00:00:39.580 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.180 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.
00:00:49.200 Christ is...
00:00:50.320 You believe the U.S. is moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities.
00:00:54.520 Where's your mindset on that?
00:00:55.680 I can't say that, right?
00:00:56.600 You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question?
00:00:59.200 Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component?
00:01:03.480 And what time exactly, sir?
00:01:05.620 Sir, would you strike it?
00:01:07.380 Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch?
00:01:10.280 I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it.
00:01:12.420 You don't know.
00:01:13.100 I may do it.
00:01:13.700 I may not do it.
00:01:14.600 I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.
00:01:15.940 And here we go.
00:01:21.360 Israeli jets streaking through the skies over Iran, hammering military targets, including
00:01:26.160 missile launchers and Iranian nuclear facilities.
00:01:29.280 This is Iran continues firing missiles into central Israel.
00:01:32.560 And now warning if the U.S. gets involved, there'll be, quote, serious, irreparable consequences.
00:01:38.040 We're not looking for a long term.
00:01:39.680 We're looking.
00:01:40.660 I only want one thing.
00:01:42.780 Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
00:01:44.560 That's it.
00:01:44.980 I'm not looking long term, short term.
00:01:46.700 And I've been saying that for 20 years.
00:01:48.460 President Donald Trump faces a major decision.
00:01:51.460 Sources say he's considering whether the U.S. should join Israel in striking Iran's nuclear
00:01:55.620 sites.
00:01:56.140 Iran warns that U.S. intervention could spark an all out war.
00:01:59.780 No, they had bad intentions.
00:02:01.120 You know, for 40 years, they've been saying death to America, death to Israel, death to
00:02:06.000 anybody else that they didn't like.
00:02:07.980 They were bullies.
00:02:10.620 They were schoolyard bullies.
00:02:13.480 And now they're not bullies anymore, but we'll see what happens.
00:02:16.340 Look, nothing's finished until it's finished.
00:02:18.220 I was the hunted.
00:02:19.880 And now I'm the hunter.
00:02:22.560 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events.
00:02:26.140 Daily Here Live, Jack Posobiec, President Trump now indicating that he is weighing the
00:02:33.660 decision whether or not to strike Iran's nuclear sites, particularly the one that's
00:02:39.780 been in a lot of focus in the variety of National Security Council meetings in those
00:02:46.040 have been this Fordow underground site, which the Israelis do not have the ability to hit
00:02:53.520 on their own.
00:02:54.280 They lack the bunker busting munitions.
00:02:57.040 Today is June 18th, 2025.
00:02:59.180 Anno, Dominic.
00:03:00.540 And we're on with General Flynn, President Trump's first national security advisor.
00:03:06.780 General Flynn, how are you?
00:03:08.380 I'm doing good.
00:03:09.240 I'm watching videos that people are sending me in about launches that are still taking
00:03:14.380 place from Iran.
00:03:15.200 I mean, it's pretty, pretty extraordinary, this moment in history that we are in.
00:03:23.120 And this is not a history lesson, folks.
00:03:24.720 This is reality.
00:03:26.540 And Trump has, he has a god awful lot of pressure on him right now that I know that he probably
00:03:34.000 will put on himself because he wants to make sure that he makes absolutely the best decision
00:03:40.200 for the American people.
00:03:42.100 That's what, that's what Trump's focus is.
00:03:44.320 It's not the best decision for Israel.
00:03:46.440 It's not the best decision for Europe.
00:03:48.640 It's the best decision for the United States of America.
00:03:52.360 That's the pressure that Trump, I know he'll put on himself.
00:03:57.200 We have extraordinary capabilities that will be presented to the president of the United
00:04:02.480 States, and he's well aware of these capabilities from already having served as the 45th president.
00:04:08.120 So he knows about what some of these things can do.
00:04:11.320 I do think that this Fordow site is a really critical site because it is one of their deeper,
00:04:17.360 more hardened targets.
00:04:18.320 And you just can't get there with the, with the normal bunker buster type bombs that, that
00:04:26.180 some of our allies around the world have.
00:04:28.260 And we've used in some smaller target sets.
00:04:31.820 And this particular one is very, very deep underground.
00:04:35.700 The, uh, the U S intelligence community has been watching this, the, the, the build out
00:04:41.980 of this for decades, not just Fordow, but all these other sites as well, going back to
00:04:47.800 the days when they were just holes in the ground and they started to do the construction.
00:04:51.660 So these are things that are known, the, the levels are known, the, the depth are known,
00:04:57.060 the, the, the type of geology, uh, that, that constructs these things is known.
00:05:02.740 All these things are known.
00:05:04.240 So Trump's decision really is a quick break coming up right now, but we've got the general
00:05:11.520 on for a few moments.
00:05:13.080 We'll come right back with him in the next segment.
00:05:15.680 This is huge.
00:05:16.580 We've got all the breaking updates right here.
00:05:19.180 Don't turn it off.
00:05:20.420 Human events daily continues.
00:05:21.660 What America first truly means.
00:05:28.180 Welcome to the second American revolution.
00:05:34.080 All right, Jack Posobiec.
00:05:35.720 Here we are back live human events daily.
00:05:39.460 We're on with general Flynn, president Trump's first national security advisor, general Flynn,
00:05:46.320 as, uh, as we just went on our last break, you were talking about the, the pressure,
00:05:51.660 that's on president Trump.
00:05:52.640 Can you walk us through, uh, obviously not revealing any classified information, but you
00:05:57.460 know, when you're in a national security council meeting like that, walk us through what it,
00:06:02.600 what it feels like.
00:06:03.780 How is the information presented to the president?
00:06:06.400 Does he, does he bring in, you know, the intelligence staff or is it high level?
00:06:10.680 Is it casual conversation, put us in the room at, you know, as, as best you can.
00:06:15.860 Yeah.
00:06:16.260 Uh, so everybody that's sitting at that table with the president of the United States has
00:06:20.240 access to an extraordinary amount of information through their own networks, through the U.S.
00:06:24.980 intelligence community, through the department of defense, through homeland security, through
00:06:29.700 international, uh, partnerships and relationships like Marco Rubio is an example.
00:06:34.380 And some of the diplomatic, uh, conversations that I'm sure that he's had with leaders around
00:06:39.140 the world, as well as president Trump, the vice president is also a player in these as
00:06:43.660 well.
00:06:43.980 These are really critical moments.
00:06:45.680 The, the ambassadors in the region are probably on, uh, secure video teleconferencing systems
00:06:53.360 to be able to get real time on the ground, uh, you know, information and intelligence, as
00:06:59.460 well as the ability for Trump, if he needs to make a phone call to any world leader, he
00:07:03.760 can do it right then and there at that moment.
00:07:05.940 So, so at, at, at the fingertip feel, uh, in an environment like that, the president has
00:07:12.820 an extraordinary amount of information.
00:07:14.900 Now the challenge is going to be on the ground intelligence in, uh, in, uh, Iran for where are
00:07:25.380 the, where are the, the, the, where's the head of the Iranian people at right?
00:07:29.440 I mean, we're seeing all kinds of videos coming out where they're, where they're, you know,
00:07:34.840 they're clapping for the Israeli attacks, they're, you know, they're, they're, you know,
00:07:39.040 rising up, but are they ready to go ahead and sacrifice to, to basically overturn the
00:07:44.980 regime that's still in charge right now, still appears to be in charge.
00:07:48.740 Although there's been reports of three aircraft that have flown into Oman in the last probably
00:07:54.960 12 hours.
00:07:55.760 One of, one of those aircraft I'm told is the presidential aircraft from Tehran.
00:08:00.860 So there's a lot of activity.
00:08:02.780 There's a lot of movement going on.
00:08:04.820 Does Israel have the, you know, have the capacity to continue to, you know, wage this campaign
00:08:10.900 that they're involved in with, you know, the ability to respond to what appear to be thousands,
00:08:16.640 at least a thousand of these ballistic missiles.
00:08:18.820 And I just posted something at, at Jen Flynn, just to give some people some of the, some
00:08:24.120 of the capabilities and the ranges of what these missiles are capable of doing.
00:08:28.980 Remember, you have China is right there.
00:08:32.820 North Korea, North Korea has a stockpile of these type of ballistic missiles.
00:08:38.220 And we know the North Koreans, they provided some of this, some of this ordinance to, to
00:08:43.880 Russia.
00:08:44.400 So who's to say that they can't divert some of these into, uh, into Iran.
00:08:49.880 And maybe they have done this in the past, you know, six months or so.
00:08:53.900 So, so there's some other intelligence gaps that we're going to have that the president's
00:08:58.180 going to have when he's trying to make these types of decisions.
00:09:01.420 One of the things that I'm very concerned about is I'm concerned about the, the way that the
00:09:07.380 intelligence and particularly the intelligence community will shape the narrative going to
00:09:12.180 the president of the United States.
00:09:13.800 This is where, this is where Tulsi Gabbard, who I'm a big fan of, uh, she's going to have
00:09:18.780 to have great discernment.
00:09:19.980 She's going to have to give her own gut feel on this.
00:09:22.120 And, and there are going to have to be experts.
00:09:24.980 I can tell you, I work with many of them down at the U S central command when I was the senior
00:09:29.060 intelligence officer for U S central command.
00:09:31.020 And some of the best intelligence personnel in the arsenal of the United States intelligence
00:09:36.940 community are sitting down at Tampa.
00:09:39.420 So I guarantee that the commander, Eric Carilla, general Carilla is also going to be on a secure
00:09:45.500 video teleconference with the president of the United States at this moment, as well as,
00:09:50.380 you know, Pete and the, uh, and the, and the chairman of the joint chiefs, you're going to
00:09:54.940 have possibly leadership, military leadership from the region that will likely be on a secure
00:10:01.000 video teleconference with the president of the United States.
00:10:03.640 So the president is going to gather and take in all of this information, you know, typical
00:10:08.600 Trump, he'll go around and he'll, if you're in that room, he's going to go around and ask you,
00:10:12.040 what do you think?
00:10:12.440 What do you think?
00:10:12.920 What do you think?
00:10:13.400 What do you think?
00:10:13.800 He's going to take it all in, synthesize it, and then he's going to make a decision.
00:10:17.640 And he's got the one thing that he will make a decision on.
00:10:20.520 And like he says, unconditional surrender, he will make a decision that will ensure trust
00:10:27.080 me on this.
00:10:27.560 It will ensure that, that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon under, you know,
00:10:32.520 while he's the president of the United States, they will never have a nuclear weapon.
00:10:36.600 And then I guarantee that that's going to be the case.
00:10:38.760 So if that, if that has to be the commitment of a particular capability to, to, to have
00:10:45.880 such a destructive effect on whether it's Ford out or some other place, Trump will make that
00:10:51.480 decision.
00:10:51.960 He will make that decision.
00:10:53.240 The other thing is, is all this talk about military, you know, another military quagmire
00:11:00.520 in the Middle East.
00:11:01.320 Hey folks, we're already in the Middle East.
00:11:03.720 We provide billions of dollars.
00:11:05.560 We provide military forces.
00:11:07.560 We provide all kinds of training and equipment and education to every single Arab country
00:11:15.960 in that region, nevermind having headquarters and, and, and our own military footprint already
00:11:21.640 there.
00:11:21.880 So we're already there.
00:11:23.160 We're already there.
00:11:23.960 So stop it.
00:11:24.680 Stop it with the, we don't need another.
00:11:26.680 Yeah.
00:11:27.000 We don't need to be sending military divisions and, and, and Marine regiments.
00:11:31.800 We don't need to be sending large numbers of troops.
00:11:35.000 We do need to make sure that we are protecting our own people that are in those embassies
00:11:39.480 and in some of the basing that we do have in that region, that's got to happen.
00:11:42.920 That's the, that's the responsibility of the president of the United States.
00:11:46.440 There is commitment of great naval force capabilities.
00:11:49.720 I think we're on our third aircraft carrier battle group.
00:11:52.440 That's a big deal.
00:11:53.160 Those are big commitments, whether it's in the Eastern Med, whether it's in the, uh, in
00:11:57.240 the, uh, the, the Arabian Sea, you know, whether it's in the Persian Gulf.
00:12:01.320 So those, the, with those capabilities come extraordinary, uh, arsenals and capability.
00:12:08.120 So I want people to understand that Trump has got a big decision.
00:12:11.000 Jack, I'll, I'll turn it back to you.
00:12:12.200 And I know, I know we've got a short on time.
00:12:16.280 And Joe Flynn, the, uh, as we look at this decision, so let's take us capabilities, uh,
00:12:21.000 considerable as they are, we're now hearing, by the way, the breaking news that I just wanted
00:12:24.040 to throw out is that we're hearing that a third, uh, aircraft carrier may now be making
00:12:29.240 its way to the region, not in the Persian Gulf, but on the, in the East Med.
00:12:33.320 So off, off the coast of Israel.
00:12:36.760 And, uh, the, the question that I have though, let's say Israel and Iran, just their capabilities
00:12:42.280 back and forth.
00:12:43.000 People are watching these salvos, uh, take off.
00:12:46.680 Israel's flying the air sorties.
00:12:48.680 Iran is firing missiles, but is this something that can go on indefinitely?
00:12:53.800 President Trump tweeted using, of course, the Royal, we control the skies above Tehran,
00:12:59.400 but is, is this something going indefinitely?
00:13:01.800 Or are we witnessing a sort of war of air attrition between Iran and Israel?
00:13:07.400 Yeah, that's a great way to describe it, Jack.
00:13:10.200 Um, it cannot go on indefinitely.
00:13:12.680 These, the, uh, the, the capacity of these nations, they do not have the capacity.
00:13:18.600 To continue this forever, right?
00:13:20.760 So at some point in time, uh, you know, you're going to see a, a diminishing capability and
00:13:25.800 a diminishing capacity from both countries.
00:13:28.680 Now, in terms of Israel, if Israel continues to get the support from the United States of
00:13:33.080 America, there's an awful lot that we can do.
00:13:35.560 I don't, you know, we got to look at what, what is, what are the Chinese doing?
00:13:38.920 What are the North Koreans doing?
00:13:40.920 What are the Russians doing?
00:13:42.440 I understand that Putin also put out a statement, very strong statement today about
00:13:46.520 U S involvement, uh, in the Middle East.
00:13:48.760 So I haven't seen the formal statement yet, but I understand that that came out earlier
00:13:53.400 today.
00:13:53.800 So we'll have to wait and see what does that mean?
00:13:56.440 So there, the capacity doesn't exist to continue this thing.
00:14:00.040 One of the things that, that Israel has done in Iran is they've gone after the targeting
00:14:04.840 mechanisms, the ability to be able to precisely launch these missiles at specific targets.
00:14:10.840 And that's why you see a lot of the missiles that are coming out of, out of, uh, Iran are
00:14:17.000 hitting, are hitting civilian targets and they're doing it part, partly on purpose, but also because
00:14:21.880 these are not precision guided munitions.
00:14:24.360 These are not precision guided capabilities.
00:14:26.680 These are now launched in a particular direction on a particular azimuth, you know, on a, on a, on a, uh,
00:14:32.200 uh, uh, a launch, um, uh, direction.
00:14:36.040 And, and they're going to just hit whatever targets they hit.
00:14:39.400 So they're going to hit a lot of civilian targets where the Israelis on the other hand
00:14:43.160 are going after military, uh, infrastructure and infrastructure that is part of the military
00:14:49.480 industrial complex of Iran.
00:14:51.960 And, and that's why you're not hearing screaming about numbers of civilians that the Israelis
00:14:57.800 are killing, but you're, but you're seeing, uh, Israel or Iranians killing and, uh, and
00:15:03.320 targeting civilians.
00:15:04.440 It's, I mean, this is coming up on a quick break here.
00:15:08.360 We're on Jack Posobiec, general Flynn, human events daily.
00:15:12.280 This is real America's voice.
00:15:14.520 Your only place to get the unfiltered truth.
00:15:17.640 We'll be right back.
00:15:23.480 Today, you know, they talk about influences.
00:15:25.880 These are influences.
00:15:27.720 And, uh, they're friends of mine.
00:15:30.120 Jack.
00:15:30.520 Jack Posobiec.
00:15:31.560 Where's Jack?
00:15:32.360 Jack.
00:15:33.800 He's done a great job.
00:15:38.040 All right, Jack Posobiec.
00:15:38.920 We're back.
00:15:39.400 Real America's voice.
00:15:41.800 We're on with General Flynn, President Trump's first national security advisor,
00:15:49.320 former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
00:15:52.600 General Flynn, you were telling us before about some of the on-the-ground intel and how, obviously,
00:15:58.040 in any cases of a conflict like this, the war of information becomes the first thing.
00:16:06.440 The first casualty is always the truth.
00:16:07.960 And so it's very hard to get to that ground truth.
00:16:11.240 But you were talking about how what's on the ground in Iran is going to be critical for the
00:16:16.680 president's decision-making process going forward.
00:16:19.640 And you were breaking down some of that real-time intelligence for us.
00:16:24.360 Yeah, I mean, I think what we have, and there is, you know, there is information that is coming
00:16:29.080 from inside, and some of that is not through normal intel channels, to be honest with you.
00:16:34.840 The intel community, particularly the CIA has, you know, they should have so many years of on-the-ground
00:16:41.720 knowledge, and they really don't.
00:16:44.840 Where you have really good intelligence is coming from people that are in the region that have been
00:16:50.280 there for a long time that we have developed relationships with for so many years because
00:16:55.080 of on-the-ground combat operations fighting alongside of some of these people in places
00:17:00.040 like Afghanistan and Iraq and other places in the region. And they don't trust the U.S. intelligence
00:17:07.960 community, to be very blunt. But they trust those of us who have, you know, in many cases,
00:17:14.600 fought alongside them. So the type of intelligence that Trump really is going to need to be able to make
00:17:21.480 decisions about. You know, and one of the things that I want to take a little bit of a step back,
00:17:28.120 Jack, on, is this is not about the Iranian people. So this is about the Iranian regime.
00:17:33.960 This is not about going after the Iranian people. And I think Trump has been very clear on this.
00:17:39.080 There are others that are spewing this nonsense that, you know, Trump is doing this, you know,
00:17:44.840 it's against Iran and Iranian people. No, this is against the Iranian regime to decapitate
00:17:50.920 the Iranian regime. And as he said, he's calling for unconditional surrender. And I'm for it. I
00:17:57.320 mean, we cannot have the kind of the kind of tyranny and hatred and basically the threatening,
00:18:04.600 like I think, I think President Trump called it, you know, like a bully, right? A bully.
00:18:08.600 They've been a bully for three decades. So that on the ground intelligence that is coming out and
00:18:15.640 providing good tactical information about the sentiment and the feeling of the Iranian people
00:18:22.600 and where things still are happening or still are occurring, what is going on when we know about
00:18:28.840 aircraft. For example, when we get reports about aircraft taking off, right? Or we get reports about
00:18:36.040 family members, regime family members that are gathering their Gucci and their gold and starting to
00:18:42.120 move into different places to get, you know, absconded out of the country by some of these,
00:18:48.120 some of their foreign partners like Russia or China. That kind of stuff is good to know because
00:18:52.840 it tells, it gives the president a sentiment of, of the conditions on the ground, never mind what our
00:18:59.320 capability is or what capacity or whether we can fly a B-2 bomber out of this place or that place.
00:19:05.240 Can they have, you know, all of that technical stuff, we have all of that in abundance.
00:19:10.040 It is the tactical, very exquisite, very, very hard to get intel that he needs right now.
00:19:16.120 And, and some of that is being provided. I know that some of that is being provided to people that
00:19:20.600 are, that are trusting and, and providing it to the right people at the right moment. I think that's
00:19:27.320 really critical. I mean, really what we have is we, you know, we've got the, the president has a couple of,
00:19:32.440 of options here. You know, he's called for unconditional surrender. So he might say,
00:19:36.760 I'm going to give you another clock to look at there, Khomeini. And if you, I'll give you 72 hours,
00:19:42.840 maybe, maybe a week, but you're going to have to do some, you know, here's some criteria that
00:19:47.400 you're going to have to follow, or maybe he just says you got 24 hours, right? I mean, so Trump,
00:19:53.560 I think in the next, in the next 24 hours, I said this two days ago that the next 72 to 96 hours are
00:20:01.480 going to be some of the most intense moments in U S history that we have ever experienced.
00:20:07.000 And I believe, I personally believe that right now we have the, you know, as, as governor Huckabee,
00:20:12.040 the ambassador to, uh, in Israel said, you know, we have the, the right person at the right moment
00:20:18.280 in history, uh, in Donald J. Trump, probably dating back to, uh, as far back as maybe Truman,
00:20:24.840 when Truman had to make the decision about dropping bombs on, uh, on, uh, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
00:20:30.760 And I'm not talking about Trump having to make a decision about dropping any kind of
00:20:34.680 nuclear capabilities. I'm just talking about newer capacities that we have, or newer capabilities.
00:20:40.040 He certainly is the right man for the job chosen by the American people.
00:20:44.120 General Flynn, I know you've got a hard out. Where can people go
00:20:48.040 to follow you and collect all the information, the syrups that you're putting out?
00:20:52.840 Yeah, they can follow me at Jen Flynn on X, and I'm, I'm on about seven other social media
00:20:57.720 platforms, but at Jen Flynn, G E N Flynn, or go to general Flynn.com. And, uh, and you can
00:21:02.760 follow me there as well. All right, general Flynn. Thank you so much for your expertise,
00:21:07.240 your analysis and putting us right inside the room. That's what you get the inside story
00:21:13.080 from human events daily on real America's voice and nowhere else. We'll be right back.
00:21:17.240 Jack, where is Jack? Where is Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you.
00:21:32.280 Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always
00:21:37.560 talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting
00:21:42.520 police. All right, Jack Posobiec. We are back here live human events daily, by the way, guys,
00:21:49.960 leave that shot up for a second. So for those watching on, uh, on screen here, we've got, uh,
00:21:56.040 a live shot. You can, it's weather's not cooperating, but you can actually see the, uh, the one,
00:22:02.520 the first flagpole that president Trump has raised just today. And, uh, unfortunately the weather's not
00:22:09.160 cooperating for the second American flag, but it's the first time you've seen actually an American
00:22:14.200 flag flown from the lawn of the White House. And, uh, I wish the, uh, wish the weather were
00:22:21.880 cooperating a little bit better, but you know, it's, uh, it's, uh, storming, uh, booming and
00:22:26.440 storming here in Washington, DC, but the flag looked really great at least when we were first able to
00:22:32.200 see it, but we're not able to quite get that shot, uh, in as much as, uh, well, we'll wait for the
00:22:38.120 weather to be a little bit nicer, but at just incredible view. And of course, uh, of course,
00:22:43.320 we love seeing old glory flown in all of its glory there on the lawn of the White House.
00:22:50.040 Before we bring in our next guest here, I'd love to go to, uh, we've got two sots and guys,
00:22:56.200 if we can, I'd love to play them both here. Uh, we've got Lindsey Graham and James Lankford.
00:23:02.280 So their thoughts on the current conflict or potentially brewing conflict between the U.S.
00:23:08.280 and Iran. I would like to see this regime fall, but I'm going to leave it up to the president
00:23:13.880 as to what to do and when to do it. But I do know this, if we don't take out
00:23:18.040 their nuclear program now, we'll all regret it. We're very close. Be all in Mr. President
00:23:23.400 in helping Israel finish the job and let's see where we're at after we, uh, neutralize our nuclear
00:23:28.840 program. Do you think the United States should assassinate the supreme leader if they can?
00:23:34.280 The assassination of individual and any foreign dignitary or leader on this,
00:23:37.960 but we most certainly need to have regime change in Iran. Uh, this is the same regime that's
00:23:42.920 threatened America and Americans. This is the same regime that oppresses their own people,
00:23:47.240 that they use the money that they get from oil, money to be able to put towards terrorism,
00:23:51.560 to be able to kill us and our allies. They chant death to America in the streets.
00:23:55.800 We definitely need a new regime there.
00:23:58.840 All right, Jack Posobiec back here on Human Events Real Micros. I just want to bring in now Libby
00:24:03.640 Emmons. She's the editor in chief of Human Events and the Post Millennial. So Libby, um, you know,
00:24:10.440 you run, uh, both of the sites, you run the Post Millennial, you run Human Events.
00:24:15.640 A week ago, we weren't talking about regime change in Iran. We were talking and I remember being here on
00:24:22.440 this network and on this show talking about the bill, the deportation bill. We were talking about
00:24:28.520 mass deportations. We had these huge ICE protests and which turned into riots very quickly in Los
00:24:33.800 Angeles and other places. President Trump had his military parade. What's going on that has driven
00:24:40.040 all of this so quickly?
00:24:42.440 Yeah, it's been a huge, quick diversion. Sometimes I think of media like the Eye of Sauron in Lord of the Rings.
00:24:49.800 And it's just that the big eye will shift suddenly and then everyone looks in that direction without paying
00:24:56.120 any attention to the things that they were literally looking at just five minutes ago.
00:25:00.600 So last week, of course, we had all of this stuff start to heat up in Israel. Israel took aim at Iran. Iran,
00:25:07.480 of course, hates Israel. And all of a sudden, we're all supposed to look overseas. We're all supposed to look at
00:25:13.640 these, uh, this fighting between other nations, one of which is allied with America and one of which is not.
00:25:19.400 And of course, America provides a great deal of support to Israel. Um, but the things that are happening here at home are
00:25:26.360 still happening. The deportations are still underway. The, uh, issues between ICE and Democrat lawmakers
00:25:33.240 is still happening. Um, city comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander in New York City
00:25:39.400 yesterday was detained when he tried to obstruct an ICE arrest. He was demanding a judicial warrant for a
00:25:45.400 man whose asylum hearing had failed. He was not permitted asylum. And so he was going to be, uh,
00:25:51.960 deported and Lander got in the way of that. He was arrested. We'll see what happens there.
00:25:56.200 This follows a number of Democrat lawmakers who are either getting arrested or really trying to get
00:26:02.120 arrested because they think that this will do better for them in the long run. At least that's
00:26:07.080 my theory. We also still have Trende Aragua in Aurora, Colorado. Police in that city released body
00:26:13.480 cam footage showing Trende Aragua members in Aurora, which we remember from last summer,
00:26:19.720 terrorizing residents in that apartment building. So that's still going on. You still have riots going
00:26:25.800 on in Portland, uh, Oregon, where, you know, that's like the main hobby is to riot. You have residents
00:26:31.640 there basically begging Antifa not to destroy their property and not to, um, you know, make things
00:26:37.640 miserable like they did back in 2020 when they rioted for a hundred straight days. But there's a lot going
00:26:43.320 on stateside. Uh, there's a lot going on with the Supreme Court. You know, we actually had a win today,
00:26:49.160 which I was very excited about where the Supreme Court upholds, um, Tennessee's ban on child sex
00:26:56.280 changes. So that's a huge win, not just for Tennessee, but for America at large and the 26
00:27:00.840 states that have put that, uh, into place. Um, I know that a lot of, a lot of, uh, women in America
00:27:09.240 are super excited about this. A lot of people have been fighting for this for a really long time.
00:27:14.040 Um, so that's awesome. I just, I can't even contain my joy about that. It's way more awesome
00:27:19.400 than what's going on between Israel and Iran. Uh, so I think, yeah, I think we should keep looking
00:27:25.480 at these things. Libby, if I can, can I, can I ask you and just, uh, interesting tidbit, but
00:27:33.560 you mentioned before something to me about the click-through rate on stories that you're seeing
00:27:39.320 on the back end. So obviously the, the way that it usually works post-millennial covers the day-to-day
00:27:46.040 news domestically, and then human events, we've got the opinion, but also the international news.
00:27:51.320 Can you tell me which side is picking up more traction right now, even as the Iran-Israel conflict
00:27:57.240 takes off? Yeah, our readers are primarily interested in domestic American news and the
00:28:03.880 opinions on domestic American happenings. That's what people are looking to us for. And that
00:28:09.240 is what we're focusing on. There's plenty of news out there on Iran and Israel and will we, or won't
00:28:15.560 we, or trying to analyze, you know, Trump's last truth social post and how that interacts with,
00:28:22.680 you know, Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz and whatever else is going on. But our readers are really still
00:28:28.840 interested in the things that impact their lives, right? Yesterday, we got word from, uh, Customs and
00:28:34.840 Border Patrol that they had released zero illegal immigrants into the country in May. That's zero,
00:28:41.000 that's zero, uh, illegal immigrants released by CBP into the, into the country in May. And that
00:28:47.480 contrasts with 64,000 in May of last year under the Biden administration, 64,000 to zero. That's pretty
00:28:54.840 impressive. We also saw a release of some numbers that showed that, um, uh, real wages for blue collar
00:29:02.040 workers are up. I think, uh, you know, a couple of percentage points for something like the first
00:29:06.760 time in 60 years. And that's what a lot of our readers are interested in. That's what we've been
00:29:12.280 seeing in the numbers of what gets traction and what people want to read. I think also, um,
00:29:18.760 we had a story out yesterday about the fact that the majority of Americans across race, gender
00:29:24.280 and party lines are opposed to American intervention in this, uh, new fight between
00:29:30.680 Israel and Iran. So Americans want to know. Can you walk me through that? Can you walk me through
00:29:36.120 some of that, that poll that you're seeing? What was that? Can you walk me through some
00:29:41.320 of that poll that you're seeing? You're talking about all Americans. Was that the economist poll?
00:29:45.240 I think it was a you gov poll. I think it was economists you go up together. Yeah. And so I
00:29:52.280 looked a little bit at that. Hannah Nightingale covered that for the post-millennial. I didn't
00:29:56.360 dig too much into it, but I was surprised to see that it was across all parties. I mean,
00:30:02.840 both parties don't want to get involved. All sexes, you know, male and female don't want to get
00:30:07.960 involved. All races don't want to get involved. And it was across class lines too. If I recall,
00:30:13.000 there were income, uh, categories as well. And people don't want to have America get involved
00:30:20.040 in this conflict. You had president Trump when he was campaigning for office, uh, touted his record
00:30:25.960 in the first term that no new wars were started, no new foreign wars were started. And that was
00:30:30.680 certainly something that was part of the impulse for a lot of people to vote for him this time around.
00:30:35.720 Americans love when we're not at war and we can focus on the issues we have here at home instead of
00:30:41.320 being a policeman to the world. But yeah, and, and I've just sort of been,
00:30:46.840 I've noted anecdotally, and I threw this out on X earlier today, and I'd love for people to respond
00:30:52.840 1776 at humanevents.com that I've just been noticing an uptick. And so Libby, do you remember
00:30:58.680 when the Ukraine war kicked off? There were all of these billboards that just mysteriously popped up
00:31:05.160 around the country, uh, you know, about Ukraine, it was the Ukrainian flag, just all over the place.
00:31:10.600 And you would see it everywhere. And I was driving around and I would just, I would just see it even
00:31:14.520 in like rural areas, just paying for all these billboards and malls, et cetera. And, and it was,
00:31:20.440 it was, it was, um, inescapable, completely inescapable. And now all of a sudden I've noticed,
00:31:27.080 and, and, you know, I'm in the DC area, but I'm seeing on X that people are also tracking this all
00:31:32.760 over the country where they're seeing ads on YouTube and ads on podcasts and Apple podcasts
00:31:40.440 and Spotify, when they do those programmatic ads, all of a sudden beating the drums for war with Iran.
00:31:46.440 And it's like, there is a paid campaign to actually manipulate America into getting into war with Iran.
00:31:54.040 And, you know, clearly the military industrial complex would put a lot of money behind that.
00:31:58.280 And I keep saying that the neocons hear cash registers every time they see a map on TV with
00:32:03.800 arrows on it. But I said, look, wait a minute, no one's going to manipulate the president of the
00:32:07.640 United States. And certainly no one's going to manipulate Donald Trump. He is going to make a
00:32:12.440 decision, whether it be peace, whether it be negotiations, a limited strike, a full on war,
00:32:17.000 he's not going to be allowing anyone to lead him into something he doesn't want to do.
00:32:22.280 And I look at this campaign and I find it repugnant. I really do.
00:32:26.520 Yeah. And I've also noticed that I listened to a ton of podcasts all the time, you know,
00:32:30.840 weekly ones, daily ones. And I've noticed that a lot of these podcasts that cover American affairs
00:32:36.360 are also sort of pro war all of a sudden. And I'm like, where did this, where did this come from?
00:32:41.800 How is this suddenly the subcurrent of, you know, this podcast I listened to that's about history?
00:32:46.840 Like, why is this what's going on all of a sudden? So it has been it has been pretty rampant. I agree
00:32:52.280 with you, though. I think Trump learned a lot of lessons during his first term where he chose
00:32:58.520 advisors who did not necessarily have his best interest at heart or the best interest of the
00:33:03.080 American people at heart. And he has pushed a lot of those advisors away. He's not doing that anymore.
00:33:08.280 He's not taking the same kind of, you know, judicial nomination recommendations that he took during
00:33:14.440 his first term. And he's being a lot more careful about that. And I think we can see that, too,
00:33:19.160 in that he's not showing his cards at all. Even when he was asked earlier today, hey,
00:33:24.200 Mr. President, what are you going to do about Iran? He was like, you think I'm going to tell you? No,
00:33:28.360 I'm not going to. I'm not talking about that. I'm not telling you about that. I'm talking about these
00:33:31.880 flagpoles, which also I think are pretty cool. But yeah, I think that I think that he should be
00:33:38.520 a hard man to sway because that's what America should be. It should be hard.
00:33:44.840 We've got a quick break coming up here. But General Flynn said it, I think, best earlier
00:33:48.280 is that President Trump is going to make his decision based on what's in the best interests
00:33:52.840 of the American people. And the American people sent him to office resoundingly with the trust and
00:33:59.720 backing and representation that he would put their interests first. That's what came up on the
00:34:06.600 campaign trail. Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada. And that's what we trust
00:34:14.360 President Trump to do. Just a quick break. We'll be right back here. Jack Osobic, Human Events Daily.

00:35:46.440 When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:35:51.640 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, Real America's Voice, Human Events Daily. And if you want unfiltered
00:35:56.920 coverage, President Trump, all things MAGA. You know that Real America's Voice is the place to be.
00:36:03.400 Jack Posobiec, along with Stephen K. Bannon, Charlie Kirk, Steve Gruber, Stinchfield, and all the rest of the
00:36:12.280 crew here. This is your spot. Libby, we're talking about, I think that the general sense of what we're talking about here is,
00:36:20.600 are we taking the eye off the ball of the domestic agenda and all of these wins, these W's, like the
00:36:29.080 Supreme Court case that just took place, the huge momentum, and I was making this point on Timcast last
00:36:34.200 night about the deportations. We had a 55 percent, it was CBS, had to pull up 55 percent of Americans now support all
00:36:43.000 illegals being deported. And yet, as you say, the momentum is now suddenly being shifted into other
00:36:50.280 places. And as we do that, suddenly it's like, hey, where did the vote for the bill go? Where did
00:36:56.520 all the momentum go for pushing the deportation bill across, funding that, funding ICE, getting more ICE
00:37:03.000 rates up? And all of this was taking place, and now that energy seems to have been just dissipated and
00:37:09.400 pushed elsewhere. Yeah, I think you're right. It's really important to not deflate the domestic
00:37:15.160 agenda where we don't have a ton of time left before the midterms. We really need to nail a lot
00:37:20.200 of these policies and make sure that this stuff is implemented, such as the deportations, rounding up
00:37:26.600 criminals, you know, illegal immigrant criminals, all of this stuff. I think it's super important.
00:37:31.880 And if we do take our eye off of it, we leave the Democrats an opening to put a stop to it.
00:37:38.440 We already saw, you know, the Trump administration is having trouble getting a judge to agree that
00:37:43.640 they can take the ex-gender marker off of passports. That's something too that's going on.
00:37:49.480 So I think it's really key to keep the focus on what we have control over, which is the domestic
00:37:57.240 agenda. Not we personally, but Americans, right? I mean, Americans are petitioning their government to
00:38:04.520 do what is in the best interest of the country, and there's no reason for them to take their foot
00:38:08.760 off the gas there. We just have, you know, several months left until the midterms. Democrats are already
00:38:15.320 gearing up to try and figure out how to get a majority back in the Senate and the House.
00:38:20.600 This big, beautiful bill is facing trouble in the Senate. There's all kinds of negotiations that
00:38:26.040 have to happen before it can go through. And they were looking at a deadline of July 4th. I saw
00:38:31.800 a report yesterday that questioned that that would even be able to happen. And of course,
00:38:35.720 these kinds of things need to go through if we want to continue the MAGA agenda through 2026.
00:38:42.200 So yeah, Americans, call your congressperson, call your representatives, let them know that they
00:38:47.960 work for you. You don't work for them. We don't work for Israel. We don't work for,
00:38:53.080 you know, regime change in Iran. We don't work for any of that stuff. The government is here to serve
00:38:58.520 us and to serve what America needs to have done. And those are the most important things. And those
00:39:04.600 are the most important things to keep an eye on.
00:39:07.080 Well, I think that's where President Trump is coming from. And I agree with General Flynn on
00:39:11.320 that, that President Trump's decision, whatever it may be, is going to be a decision that's made by
00:39:17.560 himself, not manipulated by outside groups, not manipulated by ad campaigns, but not manipulated by
00:39:24.440 and, you know, any of the talking heads on TV. And, you know, I say that with full self-awareness,
00:39:29.320 podcasters, et cetera, President Trump is his own man. And he is not going to, and he understands
00:39:36.280 the very, very real risks of war and peace. That's why he's always stood for these things. And he also
00:39:44.280 understands the risks of nuclear war. And I think that's why he's taking this nuclear program so
00:39:49.960 seriously. And I think that's why he's always taken it so seriously, because he understands that nuclear
00:39:56.200 war would mean the end of the planet and life as we know it. It's one of the main reasons that
00:40:01.800 he's called for negotiations with Russia. And it's one of the main reasons that I think it's smart
00:40:06.760 that he has continued to keep that open line with the Russians and even brought it up at the G7 when
00:40:12.040 he said, look, you know, perhaps the Ukraine war wouldn't have even taken place if you hadn't kicked
00:40:17.160 Russia out of the G8 when it was called the G8, because you had the ability for dialogue. And he's,
00:40:23.880 look, he is the first president since when Reagan sat down with the Russians at Reykjavik in Iceland
00:40:31.160 that could actually credibly do this with Russia, with Iran, with China, which he already did with
00:40:37.240 North Korea. He is the man who can get the job done. Libby Edmonds, where can people go to follow
