00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:40.720 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:47.260 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:50.420 Christ is king.

00:00:52.280 So prices haven't gone up.

00:00:53.580 The only thing that's gone up actually is interest rates.

00:00:56.340 Because we have a federal reserve chairman that is playing politics.

00:01:01.920 Somebody that I've never been very fond of actually.

00:01:05.140 But he's playing politics.

00:01:07.700 Interest rates should be down now.

00:01:09.260 They should be coming down.

00:01:11.020 In Europe, as you know, they reduced them, I guess, seven times.

00:01:15.340 It looks like they're going to reduce them again and again and again.

00:01:18.440 But our guy wants to play cute.

00:01:20.000 But interest rates are pretty much even.

00:01:25.100 Maybe they went up just a slight bit.

00:01:26.680 But that's the only thing.

00:01:27.600 But that's because of the federal reserve.

00:01:30.140 Because they're not very smart people.

00:01:32.220 Do you regret nominating him?

00:01:33.780 Go ahead.

00:01:35.840 Yes, sir.

00:01:36.400 Please.

00:01:37.440 Go ahead.

00:01:38.080 Please.

00:01:38.220 Do you regret nominating him?

00:01:40.360 Throw him out?

00:01:40.820 Look, in the first four years, we had the greatest economy in the history of our country.

00:01:47.360 The stock market went up 88 points.

00:01:49.840 I think he's terrible.

00:01:51.600 But I can't complain because we had the most successful administration economically in the history of our country.

00:01:58.080 I think we're going to do even better this time.

00:02:00.360 Because you will see that the numbers that we're taking in are astronomical.

00:02:05.460 We're taking in tremendous amounts of money with the tariffs.

00:02:08.720 We were treated very unfairly on trade.

00:02:11.640 And countries are having a hard time getting used to the fact that they can't do that to us anymore because we have a real president.

00:02:19.040 We have a president that understands what it's all about.

00:02:22.740 We had presidents that, in some cases, were smart, but they didn't understand business or they didn't like business or, you know, it wasn't like a priority.

00:02:32.740 And then you had, like, the last administration.

00:02:34.700 The only thing they were good at was cheating in elections.

00:02:37.100 That's about all they could do.

00:02:38.180 They couldn't do anything. 1.00

00:02:39.020 They were useless. 1.00

00:02:39.680 They were incompetent. 1.00

00:02:40.420 I mean, worst administration in the history of our country. 0.98

00:02:43.980 Worse than Jimmy Carter.

00:02:45.140 Jimmy Carter died a happy man.

00:02:47.320 You know why?

00:02:48.800 Because he wasn't the worst president.

00:02:51.180 Joe Biden was.

00:02:52.180 So I think you're going to see some fantastic numbers where this all happens.

00:02:58.300 It's happening now.

00:02:59.220 I mean, everybody wants to make a deal.

00:03:01.020 And if they don't want to make a deal, we'll make the deal for them because that's what's going to happen.

00:03:05.580 We'll just say this is what it is.

00:03:07.860 But we want to listen to everybody.

00:03:09.140 And I think I can say for Scott and the other people that are working on it that we're listening and we're going to be very fair to people.

00:03:22.780 But, you know, we're the one that really sets the deal and that's what we'll be doing.

00:03:27.000 Go ahead, please.

00:03:30.140 Go ahead, please.

00:03:30.180 Go ahead, please.

00:03:31.840 A question to our prime minister.

00:03:34.840 Oh, you have a great prime minister.

00:03:36.460 You're so lucky.

00:03:37.500 Yes.

00:03:37.600 In italiano?

00:03:38.620 Oh, yes, that's right.

00:03:39.640 Okay.

00:03:40.360 I'm not sure if they do agree.

00:03:41.440 President Menoni, what do you think of the fact that President Trump is responsible for Zelensky

00:03:48.700 for the war in Ukraine?

00:03:50.160 And then, if you have talked about the spending of Italy, what are the limits of the mass you

00:03:54.620 have said that it will be in Italy, the percentual of the spending of the military?

00:03:58.320 We've talked about the limits of the mass you have in Italy, we've talked about the fact

00:04:02.040 that Italy is maintaining their goals, because it will arrive at the next level of the NATO

00:04:07.840 with the 2% that was already prevailed, that was written by the government before, because

00:04:13.180 we're a serious nation, but we haven't talked about how much this percentual is, even if

00:04:19.640 we're aware that the defense is a particularly important issue in this time.

00:04:24.680 For what about the war in Ukraine, I don't know what I think.

00:04:26.900 I think that there was an invasion and that the invasor, from that point of view, was Putin

00:04:36.320 and Russia, but it's not what, let's say, what we say today is the fact that we want to

00:04:41.660 work together and we're working to try to get in Ukraine a peace that can be right and

00:04:47.660 lasting.

00:04:48.660 I think that these are the efforts that we share our work, and we share our work today

00:04:54.660 that sounded absolutely, that was so beautiful, what the hell was that, what did she say, please?

00:05:07.000 No, I mean, it sounded great, it was beautifully presented, but maybe I could hear what she said,

00:05:15.160 what she thinks about the fact that President Trump holds Zelensky responsible for the war

00:05:25.160 in Ukraine, and Prime Minister Maloney answered, well, actually, we have a

00:05:32.160 nothing will stand in our way, and our golden age has just begun.

00:05:39.160 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:05:40.160 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.

00:05:41.160 Welcome to the Second American Revolution.

00:06:09.160 All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are live, Washington, D.C. here.

00:06:16.020 Today is April 17th, 2025, Anno Domini, and we've got a lot going on today.

00:06:22.520 There's a ton of breaking news stories to get to.

00:06:26.060 Of course, President Trump meeting with Prime Minister Maloney there in the White House just

00:06:31.080 now.

00:06:31.520 We also have the breaking news about the shooting, horrific shooting at FSU.

00:06:36.920 I've seen some of the videos coming out of it.

00:06:38.940 It's extremely gory.

00:06:40.560 We're tracking that, and we're going to get the information to you as soon as possible.

00:06:45.080 Also down in Frisco, Texas, the stabbing case of Austin Metcalf.

00:06:51.380 Well, Carmelo Anthony's family has just held a press conference, and we'll be discussing

00:06:56.460 all of this and more here on Human Events Daily.

00:07:53.480 We have a very special guest, by the way, here in studio straight from Bucharest, Romania.

00:07:59.860 Now, we had him on the program last year when I was over in Bucharest with Tanya in Romania,

00:08:06.920 Tanya Teh.

00:08:07.560 We've had him here on the program recently as well regarding the situation of the presidential

00:08:12.900 candidate who originally won the election.

00:08:15.740 The election was overturned, and now a new election is taking place, and he is currently

00:08:21.080 number one in the polls.

00:08:23.680 Ladies and gentlemen, George Simeon.

00:08:26.420 Great to see you, my friend.

00:08:27.300 Jack, it's an honor for me being here.

00:08:30.900 A friend in need is a friend indeed, and I'm happy to have friends here in Washington,

00:08:37.300 D.C., and I'm honored that you are my friend.

00:08:41.080 Well, thank you very much.

00:08:41.960 Tell me about the situation that's going on in Romania.

00:08:45.660 We've been covering it from our perspective, but you are actually living it, and you've taken

00:08:51.120 the next step to actually declare your own candidacy, and the people seem to be really rallying behind

00:08:57.040 you.

00:08:57.280 I'm replacing Mr. Georgescu, who was banned illegally against our constitutional, against the electoral

00:09:04.820 laws.

00:09:05.940 We'll have elections in two weeks' time, and we are winning.

00:09:09.680 So I'm here in Washington, D.C. to assure all the Romanian citizens that we will have fair

00:09:19.160 and free elections, and we will remain part of the free world.

00:09:22.340 The unelected bureaucrats from Brussels meddled with our elections.

00:09:27.300 They were the ones meddling.

00:09:29.360 They were the ones that canceled the elections, and they were the ones that threw away and banned

00:09:37.260 the most voted Romanian, Colin Georgescu.

00:09:41.160 So I am here to restore democracy, and I am here among friends from the MAGA movement to

00:09:51.440 assure that all EU bureaucrats will lose big time all elections in the 27 states of European

00:09:59.760 Union.

00:10:00.260 Well, I certainly hope that is the case.

00:10:02.720 Tell me, what has the response been?

00:10:04.420 We can see the polls you're currently leading, but what are the issues?

00:10:07.280 Why is it that they overturned the elections, something that's so undemocratic?

00:10:13.220 I can't even think of anything like this.

00:10:15.480 And I was in Munich, Germany, when our own Vice President, J.D. Vance, traveled there as

00:10:20.740 well, who told them to their faces that you cannot say you stand for democracy when you're

00:10:26.180 overturning the will of the Romanian people. 0.98

00:10:29.220 So Romania is standing up against the same cultural and political decay.

00:10:34.320 Why American patriots like you are resisting?

00:10:40.100 Why is it they banned our elected president?

00:10:44.880 Because they do not like democracy, because they are tyrants, because if Colin Georgescu would

00:10:51.740 have won, he would have promoted peace.

00:10:54.240 They do not want peace, they want war, they do not want life, and they are not pro-life.

00:11:02.360 They are for death, for destruction.

00:11:05.060 This is the satanic ideology that is promoted across our beautiful nations.

00:11:13.120 And we will follow on the footsteps of Donald Trump, who is the leader of the free world.

00:11:19.500 My leader in Europe is Georgia Meloni.

00:11:21.860 She is currently now, as we speak, inside the White House.

00:11:27.840 So together with Georgia Meloni, with Slovakian Robert Fizzo, with other European leaders, with

00:11:36.880 Karol Nawrotzki, who will win the Polish elections, actually we have elections in Romania, in Poland,

00:11:42.100 in the same day, we will follow on the footsteps of MAGA and we will be MAGA, the victorious movement

00:11:52.100 across all the 27 countries, nations inside the European Union.

00:11:57.540 It's so true, because when we talk about the cause of humanity and the cause of life, this

00:12:03.880 is something where Romania has had to fight not very long ago for their own freedoms because

00:12:09.920 of the terrible history of the communist regime in Romania.

00:12:15.520 And it was the Romanian people themselves who rose up time and time again until eventually

00:12:21.160 they overthrew communism and took back their country from truly, and I believe it is,

00:12:27.540 satanic, this ideology and the things that were done in the name of equality and justice.

00:12:34.380 They always say it's done in the name of equality and justice.

00:12:37.500 And rule of law.

00:12:38.420 And the rule of law.

00:12:39.220 Always mentioning rule of law.

00:12:41.100 What happened with the rule of law now when the Romanian people went out and voted somebody

00:12:46.640 who was not part of the establishment and part of the deep state?

00:12:51.860 We will continue to battle.

00:12:53.380 We made big marches, demonstrations, tons of internal and external interviews.

00:13:01.100 And now it's time in two weeks that we will win in the first round and in the second round

00:13:06.140 on the 18th of May, when we will have a second round of elections in Romania and the elections

00:13:11.940 in Poland.

00:13:12.480 We will be on the eastern flank of NATO and of Europe, two presidents in Romania and Poland,

00:13:22.620 Georgi Simeon and Karol Navrotsky, that will stand for the MAGA ideology and with President Trump

00:13:30.460 and with the American people.

00:13:33.200 President Trump is a peacemaker.

00:13:36.300 He will manage to overthrow all the opponents here from the democratic neo-Marxist woke side.

00:13:45.960 And he will do this as a symbol also in Europe because it will be also the victory of Donald

00:13:52.380 Trump winning in the Romanian and Polish elections.

00:13:55.460 We're working every single day here.

00:13:58.240 We're fighting those people because they want war.

00:14:00.440 They don't care which war it is.

00:14:01.920 They want war in the Middle East. 0.99

00:14:03.220 They want war in Europe. 0.87

00:14:04.420 They want war all around the world. 0.68

00:14:06.160 This is part of their ideology.

00:14:07.880 And if you stand against it, if you say you are against them and if people even support

00:14:12.160 you, they will take away your election.

00:14:14.340 And you saw what happened here in Washington and here in America, I should say, where President

00:14:18.720 Trump faced not one but two assassination attempts.

00:14:22.180 But what did he do?

00:14:22.980 He stood for peace and prosperity.

00:14:24.880 He's the man of God.

00:14:25.760 We saw this only one second away and God saved him and God has a plan with him.

00:14:34.040 Now, across the free world, faith, family and rural traditions are under attack.

00:14:40.740 We must protect them.

00:14:41.960 And we are a young, driven, anti-corruption movement that is shaking the system in Romania.

00:14:52.760 And we will win this battle and we will protect NATO as a defensive, and I stress as a defensive

00:15:01.940 alliance led by the Trump administration.

00:15:04.800 And what better time to talk about rebellion and shaking off the chains of hell itself than

00:15:11.580 Easter time right here as it is Easter.

00:15:14.360 And for once, the Western Easter and Eastern Easter is the same. 0.74

00:15:19.240 So, I will say to you, Christos Vazquez.

00:15:21.780 Christos Anviat.

00:15:23.360 Adevarat Anviat.

00:15:24.600 Happy Easter.

00:15:25.120 Thank you, Happy Easter to everyone.

00:15:28.060 Happy Passover to our Jewish friends.

00:15:33.640 Indeed, Jesus has resurrected from the death and has stepped over the symbol of Satan, of

00:15:44.280 death, of evil itself.

00:15:47.840 The victory over death, the victory over evil.

00:15:50.860 George Simeon.

00:15:51.980 Today, you know, they talk about influences.

00:15:54.320 These are influences.

00:15:56.220 And they're friends of mine.

00:15:58.600 Jack Pesovic.

00:16:00.140 Where's Jack?

00:16:00.980 Jack.

00:16:02.060 He's done a great job. 0.71

00:16:04.200 Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien, MS-13 gang member, and foreign terrorist who was 0.95

00:16:10.040 deported back to his home country. 0.69

00:16:12.180 Abrego Garcia was also arrested with two other well-known members of the vicious MS-13 gang.

00:16:17.640 And two separate judges found that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13, and that finding

00:16:22.800 has never been disputed.

00:16:24.440 And just this morning, it was revealed through Maryland court documents that Abrego Garcia's

00:16:28.900 wife petitioned for an order of protection against him for two instances of domestic violence

00:16:34.520 in May of 2021.

00:16:36.320 He is not a Maryland man.

00:16:37.760 He is not a Maryland anything.

00:16:39.620 He is an illegal alien from El Salvador with a deportation order from the United States.

00:16:45.520 I just want to meet with Mr. Abrego Garcia.

00:16:47.980 He said he was not able to make that happen.

00:16:50.600 Why are we not protecting our children?

00:16:52.440 And to have a senator from Maryland who didn't even acknowledge or barely acknowledge my daughter

00:17:02.700 and the brutal death that she endured, leaving her five children without a mother and now a

00:17:12.220 grandbaby without a grandmother, so that he can use my taxpayer money to fly to El Salvador

00:17:20.480 to bring back someone that's not even an American citizen.

00:17:25.680 You said that you were going to make a relationship with President Xi.

00:17:28.000 Why not pick up the phone and call him and make a deal?

00:17:29.960 Oh, we're going to make a deal.

00:17:31.220 We'll have a deal.

00:17:32.060 I think we have a...

00:17:32.780 Mr. President...

00:17:33.360 I think we're going to make a very good deal with China.

00:17:35.660 That's diplomatic envoy Steve Witkoff is in Russia with hopes of reaching a peace deal

00:17:40.580 in the war with Ukraine.

00:17:42.360 And then Witkoff jumps over to Oman tomorrow to talk about Iran's nuclear program.

00:17:47.480 All right, Jack Posobiec here.

00:17:48.560 We are live human events daily.

00:17:51.320 I want to welcome in the Salem Radio Network on hour three of the Charlie Kirk Show and his

00:17:56.760 audience.

00:17:57.960 We're in Washington, D.C.

00:17:59.360 Folks, I want you to pay close attention because they're not talking about this on the news.

00:18:04.800 In the last 30 days alone, 145 bank branches, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Chase included

00:18:13.200 have quietly shut down.

00:18:14.860 No headlines, no warnings, just closed.

00:18:18.400 Could these bank closures lead to bank failures?

00:18:21.340 Imagine you go down to your bank and it's closed.

00:18:23.940 If that doesn't feel like deja vu from 2008, I don't know what does.

00:18:28.860 We've seen this movie before and it doesn't end well for people who wait too long to act.

00:18:34.180 Many lost a lot of their hard-earned savings and some never recovered at all.

00:18:39.140 It happened fast.

00:18:40.280 That's exactly why I partnered with Allegiance Gold.

00:19:31.920 All right, folks.

00:19:32.540 Here we are.

00:19:33.420 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:19:36.080 Just a couple of minutes to mention this incredible story that broke in the New York

00:19:42.180 Times last night.

00:19:43.100 They had it out.

00:19:44.360 They've got some of the facts.

00:19:45.940 They don't have it completely right.

00:19:47.400 It is the New York Times after all.

00:19:49.420 But I've got some of my own reporting that I can confirm on this at all as well regarding

00:19:55.720 potential strikes on the nuclear facilities of Iran.

00:20:00.720 And President Trump was getting a lot of pressure from outside to unilaterally begin strikes on

00:20:09.600 Iran, specifically using the bombers of Diego Garcia, where they're currently located there 0.85

00:20:15.280 in the Indian Ocean, to fly up and use the refueling to be able to drop 30,000-pound

00:20:21.320 bunker-busting bombs on Iran's underground nuclear facilities.

00:20:25.380 Now, what I believe is actually going on is that President Trump has embarked on a grand

00:20:29.700 strategy.

00:20:30.840 He understands that the Iranians, or he wants that the Iranians, they're not just going

00:20:36.880 to give up their nukes.

00:20:38.420 So he needs leverage.

00:20:39.720 Part of that leverage is potentially the threat of strikes.

00:20:43.920 But the other part is working directly with them in negotiations with Whitcoff.

00:20:48.640 Whitcoff is going to be meeting with them in Rome this weekend after having met with

00:20:52.440 them in Oman.

00:20:54.240 He's also putting on pressure, back-channeling through who?

00:20:58.080 That's right, the Russians. 0.58

00:20:59.700 Because the Russians have leverage on Iran.

00:21:02.480 They're the ones who built their nuclear reactor in the first place.

00:21:06.780 All of this is coming together.

00:21:08.260 But understand, there are patriots inside the Trump administration that are being targeted

00:21:14.960 by the bureaucracy now.

00:21:18.260 Why?

00:21:18.800 Because they don't understand MAGA world peace.

00:21:22.480 They don't understand that this movement stands for peace around the world.

00:21:27.620 We are going to get it, whether you like it or not.

00:21:32.960 We'll be right back.

00:21:33.780 Human Events Daily.

00:21:34.580 Jack, this over.

00:21:35.080 And Jack, where is Jack?

00:21:48.540 Where's Jack?

00:21:50.680 Where is he?

00:21:51.940 Jack, I want to see you.

00:21:53.400 Great job, Jack.

00:21:57.060 Thank you.

00:21:57.560 What a job you do.

00:21:59.220 You know, we have an incredible thing.

00:22:00.620 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the

00:22:05.080 guys who'll be getting Pulisic.

00:22:06.380 Friend, your sins are forgiven.

00:22:12.940 What did he just say?

00:22:15.240 I think he said that man's sins were forgiven.

00:22:18.200 After God forgave him, I assume.

00:22:21.180 He didn't say anything about God.

00:22:24.220 That's blasphemy.

00:22:25.760 Pure and simple.

00:22:26.840 Why are you thinking these things?

00:22:30.500 Tell me, which is easier?

00:22:32.460 To say to this paralyzed man, their sins are forgiven?

00:22:36.620 Or to say, stand up, take your stretcher, and walk home?

00:22:44.380 I want you to know, the Son of Man has authority on Earth to forgive sins.

00:22:53.400 Now stand up, take your stretcher, and walk home.

00:23:05.100 All right, folks, we're back.

00:23:07.100 Human Events Daily.

00:23:08.280 Jack Posobiec, what you just saw or heard was the clip.

00:23:14.780 A couple of clips from the great new film, The King of Kings.

00:23:19.500 Now this is, I mean, it's the passion of the Christ for children.

00:23:23.640 This is a way to really expand the Easter season into just everyone.

00:23:30.480 The whole family can go see this film.

00:23:33.760 You know, we were just talking in the last segment here with the Romanian presidential candidate.

00:23:38.260 Now, of course, Romania is an Eastern Orthodox country.

00:23:41.620 And so for the ortho bros out there, I always say that, you know, the Orthodox Easter is actually generally on a different date than on Western Christianity's Easter.

00:23:52.220 However, this year, coincidentally, or perhaps not a coincidence, they're actually one and the same for the first time in a long time.

00:24:01.520 And so, folks, folks who don't know, my wife, Tanya Tay, is also Orthodox.

00:24:07.500 And so, you know, I always joke we're mending the schism a little bit. 0.91

00:24:10.600 But this is a great Easter.

00:24:12.040 It's a big Easter is what I'm trying to say.

00:24:14.280 And this movie coming out at a time where we are in the culture is really an incredible moment.

00:24:21.360 We talked about how Snow White was this massive debacle for Disney because woke is a joke now.

00:24:29.120 Woke is over.

00:24:30.580 Peak woke is done.

00:24:32.220 We've passed through it.

00:24:33.460 And now what is blowing up at the box office?

00:24:37.200 Well, it's Jesus.

00:24:38.500 Between the chosen and now this King of Kings at the box office, we had to get Angel Studios back on.

00:24:45.920 And that's why we've got Jeffrey Harmon, the co-founder of Angel Studios, right here with us.

00:24:51.300 Jeffrey, congratulations, by the way, on all the success, King of Kings, and just everything else you guys have going on.

00:24:58.280 Thank you, Jack.

00:24:59.140 It's been a whirlwind of week.

00:25:00.960 I can imagine.

00:25:01.900 So you have to tell me that, you know, going into this when you said, you know, an animated Jesus film,

00:25:07.880 you know, people have seen this story before.

00:25:10.220 What was it that made you think this was the right time to go all in the way that you did?

00:25:16.340 We just have a totally different system than Hulk.

00:25:20.680 There was a recent article by Film Threat where they talked about how Angel Studios is doing something audaciously, radically different.

00:25:29.420 They're listening to their audience.

00:25:31.480 And what they mean by that is we have what we call the Angel Guild.

00:25:34.800 It's a million people, over a million people, that have come together as a community, and they're all guild members,

00:25:41.300 and they vote on all the movies that come into Angel Studios.

00:25:45.220 So I can't, as a co-founder, take a movie into Angel Studios unless it passes the Angel Guild.

00:25:50.220 Well, King of Kings has one of the highest scores we've ever seen in the Angel Guild.

00:25:54.800 And so we said, this movie has got everything it needs.

00:25:58.900 These filmmakers did an incredible job.

00:26:00.860 We're going to go all in on King of Kings for Easter, and it has proven out.

00:26:05.660 The Guild got it right.

00:26:06.720 This is one of the highest audience-scored movies in history.

00:26:10.620 It's got an A-plus cinema score, which only five animated films outside of Pixar have ever done.

00:26:15.760 It's also 97, 98 on Rotten Tomatoes.

00:26:19.200 It kind of switches back every day.

00:26:20.960 It's even doing okay with the critics at 65%.

00:26:23.960 But it's also blown up at the box office.

00:26:26.820 It just passed Prince of Egypt's record for the highest box office opening of any biblical animated film ever.

00:26:36.860 And it just keeps surging because it's loved.

00:26:42.140 This movie is, like you said, it's passion of the Christ for kids.

00:26:46.140 I took my four-year-old to it, and he watched the entire thing,

00:26:49.640 and he was asking questions about the gospel that made me realize I'm not a great teacher

00:26:54.100 because I thought I'd taught him these things before.

00:26:58.000 Hey, but that's part of it.

00:27:00.260 I've got a four-year-old and a six-year-old as well, and that's part of it.

00:27:04.800 There's a lot of questions, right?

00:27:06.620 There's always going to be a lot of questions, but what you're saying is it's engaging, right?

00:27:10.760 He's thinking about it.

00:27:12.200 He's working through it, and that's a perfect way.

00:27:14.900 Because, look, sometimes when you go to church service, we're sitting there, and we're reading,

00:27:21.160 and you've got a scripture reading, and you've got the sermon, you've got the homily,

00:27:24.820 but then people are saying, well, hold on.

00:27:26.260 There are a lot of questions that get raised, and by the way, this is what Christ teaches us.

00:27:31.760 He says, be like a child to enter the kingdom, and so that's exactly what he wants.

00:27:38.540 And this film, it's based on Charles Dickens' book that was published 65 years after Charles Dickens' death

00:27:46.260 that he read to his kids every year, and Charles Dickens wrote this book as a love letter to his children,

00:27:52.320 and so Charles Dickens is in the movie telling this book's story to his own son with his wife,

00:27:58.780 and Charles is played by Patrick Brahe, and Uma Thurman plays his wife,

00:28:03.260 and it's got this incredible cast.

00:28:05.760 It's got Pierce Brosnan, Oscar Isaac plays Jesus, Forrest Whitaker from Rogue One plays in it,

00:28:12.060 James Arnold Taylor, the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

00:28:15.680 It's funny because there's a whole bunch of Star Wars names.

00:28:18.200 Jim Cummings, who plays in Star Wars, also plays Weenie the Pooh.

00:28:24.260 Jim Cummings is a legend in the voice acting community.

00:28:26.880 Yes, he's an absolute legend.

00:28:27.900 He's got Aladdin credits. He's got everything.

00:28:29.060 It's got Dee Bradley Baker from Clone Troopers.

00:28:34.720 Anyway, there is a, it turns out the filmmaker Jay, he's a guy from, this director is from South Korea,

00:28:42.960 and he makes a lot of movies, and he's a legend in South Korea,

00:28:46.480 and he decided 10 years ago he was going to make this movie,

00:28:50.400 and he pulled together the Star Wars cast because he loves Star Wars to the point that he actually named

00:28:56.480 one of his daughters, Princess Leia, and so he pulled together, it's like a Star Wars reunion

00:29:01.640 on this film of all these major characters, and film threat, or not film threat,

00:29:07.580 there's a, there's a, there's a blog post I read just the other day that went through,

00:29:11.460 and was like, I'm just in love with this because you have another epic movie,

00:29:14.860 but it's like a Star Wars reunion.

00:29:16.060 And, um, well, so I gotta ask you, I gotta ask, I'll bring it up,

00:29:20.300 because I, I get, whenever I talk about King of Kings, people say, especially my audience,

00:29:24.260 you know, I've got, we've got a lot of MAGA people in the audience,

00:29:26.340 they say, all right, Mark Hamill, right, because this guy, he's not very MAGA friendly,

00:29:31.040 he's pretty antagonistic towards, towards the MAGA side, so where, where does he come in in all this?

00:29:36.660 Yeah, so Mark Hamill plays King Herod, which I've seen a lot of comments say,

00:29:41.740 oh, that seems appropriate from people who are on the other political side of the spectrum,

00:29:45.500 but Mark Hamill's actually been out posting about this movie, and he's proud of it.

00:29:49.560 Mark Hamill's a very talented voice actor, and we're a merit-based company,

00:29:54.500 so when you go in the Angel Guild, you actually don't get to see who the names of the producers were,

00:30:00.020 or anything, you just vote on the storyline of the movie.

00:30:04.580 So as a guild member, when you go in and you vote, you don't get to see if Steven Spielberg made it,

00:30:09.420 you don't get to see who the director was, you just vote on the story.

00:30:13.120 And what the, what the guild voted on is that this story is biblically accurate,

00:30:17.180 and they went and got the best voice talent they could possibly find,

00:30:21.140 and that happens to have Mark Hamill as one of the voices, who lent his voice as King Herod.

00:30:27.500 But if you look at the reviews, you'll see that people are saying,

00:30:31.200 this is the most biblically accurate animated biblical show of all time.

00:30:35.300 Look, and that's what people want, you know, you want to, you want to be able to just

00:30:39.920 take the politics out of it for once, and say, you know what, it's about getting this story

00:30:45.480 in front of children, and as a way, not just getting in front of the kids,

00:30:50.520 you start that, you start that buzz, you start that good word of mouth.

00:30:53.640 And by the way, there is really great word of mouth for telling us.

00:30:56.600 I do, I do want to point out something.

00:30:58.760 Mark Hamill gets a lot of heat from the right for being in this movie,

00:31:02.900 or the movie gets some heat, but when he went and posted on,

00:31:05.880 I think it's called Blue Sky or Blue Ski, I don't know how to say the name of that,

00:31:10.140 that like Twitter competitor.

00:31:11.080 I don't know, because I don't think anyone really uses it.

00:31:13.620 He got eaten alive by his own followers saying, why are you in a Jesus movie?

00:31:18.860 And so he's losing, like, you have to hand it to him for coming out and saying,

00:31:26.100 I like this part, I liked playing King Herod,

00:31:29.380 and he doesn't care what either side thinks,

00:31:32.400 who are both hating him for taking the part.

00:31:35.600 Well, you know, we'll have to see how it is.

00:31:37.960 Even if you completely disagree with his politics, right?

00:31:40.420 Yeah, look, you know, and this is what it is, right?

00:31:42.860 You know, we all grew up, you know, kind of watching Star Wars, loving Star Wars.

00:31:46.420 He also played the Joker famously as a voice actor

00:31:49.500 in the original Batman animated series in the 1990s,

00:31:53.500 and people absolutely loved that.

00:31:56.500 So I don't think there's anything you can say about, you know, certainly about his talents.

00:32:00.620 But when it comes down to it, what I was saying is,

00:32:02.880 the word of mouth around this movie, it isn't even about the cast.

00:32:06.180 You do have an all-star cast.

00:32:07.300 By the way, Kenneth Branagh is just fantastic.

00:32:09.260 I love his Poirot movies.

00:32:11.640 I get the Christie ones.

00:32:12.500 My wife and I go see every single one of them.

00:32:14.940 That the word of mouth is good,

00:32:17.540 and I know this because the members of my family

00:32:19.700 that are, like, you know, kind of more in the normie camp,

00:32:22.600 they're just, you know, they're the cousins, the aunts, the uncles,

00:32:24.840 they're all talking about it.

00:32:26.140 When are you going?

00:32:27.100 Are you going to see the kids?

00:32:28.060 We plan to go see it this weekend, full disclosure.

00:32:30.440 Haven't seen it yet, but we're going to go get everyone together

00:32:33.220 and maybe do, like, a little video of, you know,

00:32:35.260 sort of our review and our experience going to see King of Kings.

00:32:40.220 And by the way, before I let you go,

00:32:42.980 and before we run out of time,

00:32:44.100 I want to also point out that there's a way

00:32:45.880 that Angel Guild is actually offering two free tickets to King of Kings.

00:32:51.640 Tell our audience about that.

00:32:54.840 Okay, so if you come join the Angel Guild,

00:32:56.820 you get two free movie tickets to the King of Kings.

00:32:58.960 So you go to angel.com, just join the Guild,

00:33:01.080 become a premium member, and you'll get two free movie tickets.

00:33:03.820 And on top of that, you get a vote on all future movies.

00:33:06.240 So if you were a member of the Angel Guild just a few months ago,

00:33:08.960 then you were able to vote on this movie, King of Kings.

00:33:11.600 You were able to vote on The Sound of Freedom.

00:33:13.780 You were able to vote on Cabrini.

00:33:15.280 You were able to vote on Homestead,

00:33:16.820 which was a big hit at Christmas.

00:33:18.380 You get to pick all the movies that come into this community.

00:33:21.500 So when you join the community, you have a voice,

00:33:24.340 and I can't take a movie unless you vote for it.

00:33:26.600 Then your membership helps pay for future movies

00:33:31.960 and TV series inside of the system.

00:33:34.600 Here's something I think is really interesting.

00:33:36.340 In my family, we say, I have six kids.

00:33:39.480 They're 13 down to two years old.

00:33:41.640 And we say when they're watching too much screen time,

00:33:44.040 Harman's live on the other side of the screen.

00:33:46.460 We live on the creator side,

00:33:47.940 not on the consumption side of the screen.

00:33:50.580 And what the Angel Guild does

00:33:52.160 is it takes that culture of living

00:33:53.900 on the other side of the screen to the masses.

00:33:57.520 You get a million people and growing of people

00:34:00.360 who are living on the other side of the screen.

00:34:02.180 They're voting on the movies.

00:34:03.640 Last year, they gave 51,000 plus comments to filmmakers,

00:34:07.660 and filmmakers changed their movies.

00:34:09.300 They did edits.

00:34:10.340 They made changes to their movies.

00:34:12.280 We had a movie that just recently got announced

00:34:14.540 that had a whole bunch of swearing

00:34:17.860 that took the Lord's name and vain a bunch.

00:34:19.280 We're just about out of time, man.

00:34:21.240 But I want people to urge everyone again,

00:34:23.280 go and join the Angel Guild.

00:34:25.220 And this weekend, take your kids, 1.00

00:34:26.740 go check it out.

00:34:27.820 The King of Kings.

00:34:30.140 Let's send a message to the culture. 0.71

00:34:32.760 Jack, we'll be right back.

00:34:33.620 Jack is a great guy.

00:34:43.800 He's written a fantastic book.

00:34:45.440 Everybody's talking about it.

00:34:46.700 Go get it.

00:34:47.820 And he's been my friend right from the beginning

00:34:49.720 of this whole beautiful event.

00:34:51.860 And we're going to turn it around

00:34:53.140 and make our country great again.

00:34:54.920 Amen.

00:34:55.320 And all I'm going to say,

00:34:58.560 so it don't be asked later,

00:35:00.980 is that was disrespectful

00:35:03.060 and just shows you all

00:35:06.660 the character

00:35:09.380 who was not invited.

00:35:13.900 He knows that it's inappropriate

00:35:17.260 to be near this family.

00:35:19.640 But he did it.

00:35:20.360 And so I say to people,

00:35:23.480 actions speak louder than words.

00:35:26.880 Okay?

00:35:28.200 What he has failed into

00:35:30.080 is the political operatives

00:35:32.980 that want to make this thing

00:35:35.680 a political thing of hate,

00:35:39.560 yet bigotry,

00:35:40.900 and yet racism.

00:35:43.100 We have conservative operatives

00:35:45.820 that have been posting

00:35:47.340 nonstop

00:35:48.860 about this case.

00:35:51.240 All right, Jack Wasoba,

00:35:52.100 here we are back live

00:35:53.180 Human Events Daily.

00:35:54.060 Now, just as we were going

00:35:55.680 to air today

00:35:57.820 for the show,

00:36:00.020 and I want to also welcome

00:36:01.360 in the Charlie Kirk audience

00:36:03.640 on the third hour

00:36:04.740 of Salem Radio Network

00:36:06.340 that Carmelo Anthony's

00:36:09.040 family advocate

00:36:10.820 decided to hold

00:36:12.220 a press conference.

00:36:13.540 This is something

00:36:14.560 that is

00:36:15.580 so egregious

00:36:17.360 and so uncommon

00:36:18.560 that I honestly

00:36:20.060 couldn't believe it

00:36:20.920 when I heard it

00:36:21.660 that he was holding

00:36:22.500 a press conference,

00:36:23.720 again,

00:36:24.180 after the person

00:36:25.980 he represents,

00:36:27.040 a minor,

00:36:27.960 stabbed another minor

00:36:29.580 to death

00:36:30.720 at a track meet,

00:36:32.620 and he proceeded

00:36:33.820 to hold this press conference,

00:36:35.820 and throughout the conduct

00:36:37.960 of the entire press conference,

00:36:39.600 what did he do?

00:36:40.420 This Dominique Alexander,

00:36:42.540 himself,

00:36:43.300 someone who's gone to jail

00:36:44.300 for violently assaulting

00:36:46.320 a toddler,

00:36:47.980 he decided to employ

00:36:50.800 something that I've written

00:36:53.260 about in the past

00:36:54.160 in Unhuman's book

00:36:55.220 called the Darvo tactic

00:36:57.540 because he spends

00:36:58.620 the entire time

00:36:59.500 acting like Carmelo Anthony

00:37:01.860 is in fact the victim,

00:37:04.200 and the perpetrator

00:37:06.400 he claims

00:37:07.120 is the internet

00:37:08.140 or some such thing,

00:37:10.040 he doesn't really explain

00:37:11.100 what he's talking about,

00:37:13.360 but he claims that

00:37:14.900 and acts

00:37:15.740 like he's playing

00:37:16.580 the victim card,

00:37:17.660 he certainly plays

00:37:18.880 the race card

00:37:19.620 throughout the entire

00:37:20.420 press conference,

00:37:21.560 this is sort of

00:37:22.300 a BLM junior

00:37:23.980 type organization

00:37:25.360 there in Frisco, Texas,

00:37:27.600 and this individual

00:37:28.500 employs the tactic

00:37:32.840 of Darvo,

00:37:33.660 and what does that mean?

00:37:34.620 Darvo is a tactic 0.99

00:37:35.800 employed by narcissists

00:37:38.080 called deny,

00:37:40.300 attack,

00:37:41.180 and then reverse

00:37:42.100 victim and offender,

00:37:43.600 D-A-R-V-O, 1.00

00:37:45.000 Darvo,

00:37:45.660 and of course

00:37:46.740 you'll see psychologists

00:37:47.620 talk about this,

00:37:48.580 anyone who understands

00:37:49.300 narcissists,

00:37:50.500 you know,

00:37:51.600 psychology in relationships

00:37:52.920 knows about these

00:37:53.760 types of tactics,

00:37:54.660 it's what they do,

00:37:56.160 in fact,

00:37:57.020 this is what they do,

00:37:58.520 so the entire point

00:38:00.060 of the spectacle

00:38:01.160 was to try

00:38:02.940 to make it out

00:38:03.940 that Carmelo Anthony

00:38:06.540 was in fact

00:38:07.560 the victim,

00:38:08.180 but the problem

00:38:09.320 is,

00:38:10.400 is that when

00:38:11.340 the press conference

00:38:12.160 began,

00:38:13.440 there was someone

00:38:14.080 there that they

00:38:15.080 hadn't inspected,

00:38:16.480 and it was in fact

00:38:17.540 the father

00:38:18.440 of Austin Metcalf,

00:38:21.180 standing quietly

00:38:21.980 in the back

00:38:22.420 of the room,

00:38:23.380 and he stood

00:38:24.680 back there,

00:38:25.700 and he waited

00:38:26.880 patiently

00:38:27.380 for the press conference

00:38:28.780 to begin,

00:38:29.800 didn't say a word,

00:38:30.420 Carmelo Anthony's

00:38:33.180 family and the advocate

00:38:34.120 asked him to leave,

00:38:36.800 he said,

00:38:37.180 no,

00:38:37.300 I don't want to leave,

00:38:38.140 I'd like to be here

00:38:39.080 and to view

00:38:39.840 the press conference,

00:38:40.860 again,

00:38:41.660 this is a press conference

00:38:43.080 where they invited

00:38:44.240 the public

00:38:45.560 to attend,

00:38:47.140 they wanted

00:38:47.660 to get their voice out,

00:38:49.100 they wanted

00:38:49.520 to get their message out,

00:38:51.300 but the problem

00:38:52.980 was,

00:38:54.880 Austin Metcalf's

00:38:55.880 father

00:38:56.340 would ruin

00:38:57.380 the entire narrative,

00:38:58.820 do you know why?

00:38:59.620 because the actual

00:39:01.780 victim

00:39:02.380 of the situation

00:39:03.720 was Austin

00:39:05.260 Metcalf,

00:39:06.700 and his father

00:39:08.280 is the advocate

00:39:09.540 for his son,

00:39:10.800 his father,

00:39:11.340 by the way,

00:39:12.040 who already

00:39:12.840 came out publicly

00:39:13.840 and said that he

00:39:14.920 forgave

00:39:15.620 Carmelo Anthony,

00:39:17.820 and what was

00:39:18.640 the response?

00:39:19.960 What was their

00:39:20.760 response

00:39:21.360 from the Carmelo

00:39:22.360 Anthony family

00:39:23.280 to see the father

00:39:24.880 there?

00:39:25.320 Did they

00:39:25.820 invite him up?

00:39:27.480 Do they

00:39:27.820 have a moment

00:39:28.700 and say,

00:39:29.420 let's try to have

00:39:30.460 unity in this country,

00:39:31.640 let's not rip apart

00:39:32.480 this community,

00:39:33.840 let's stand together

00:39:34.720 and say,

00:39:35.540 we're both very sorry

00:39:37.340 about what happened?

00:39:38.440 No,

00:39:39.200 no,

00:39:39.400 that's not what they did.

00:39:40.400 You know what they did?

00:39:41.280 They called the cops

00:39:42.620 on him

00:39:43.140 and had him thrown

00:39:44.580 out of the press conference

00:39:46.020 rather than have

00:39:47.460 someone there,

00:39:48.780 God forbid,

00:39:50.220 who was an advocate

00:39:51.140 and a representative

00:39:52.220 for the boy

00:39:53.500 whose life

00:39:54.460 was lost

00:39:55.500 who bled out

00:39:56.560 on the bleachers

00:39:57.500 at a track meet.

00:40:01.800 I can't even say

00:40:03.180 as a father,

00:40:04.660 I can't even begin

00:40:06.000 to tell you

00:40:07.260 what I would do

00:40:08.920 if I were in that situation,

00:40:11.340 were I in that situation.

00:40:12.600 I can't.

00:40:13.500 All I can tell you is

00:40:14.920 this is disgraceful,

00:40:17.820 it's despicable, 0.88

00:40:19.140 it's absolutely disgusting

00:40:20.560 what they're doing

00:40:21.580 to this community,

00:40:23.380 what they're doing

00:40:23.780 to this country,

00:40:25.220 raising money

00:40:26.100 left and right,

00:40:27.460 flagrantly,

00:40:28.080 and then just throwing it

00:40:29.080 back in the face

00:40:29.700 of the public

00:40:30.240 and saying,

00:40:30.980 no,

00:40:31.240 it's your fault. 0.68

00:40:32.960 It's your fault

00:40:33.960 for being upset

00:40:34.660 without what happened.

00:40:35.760 It's your fault.

00:40:36.900 And in fact,

00:40:37.500 many of these people,

00:40:39.180 if you go online,

00:40:40.540 are saying that it was

00:40:41.340 Austin Metcalfe's fault.

00:40:43.760 Well,

00:40:44.140 he can't be here

00:40:45.560 because he's dead,

00:40:47.060 because you robbed him

00:40:49.300 of his life

00:40:50.640 and then

00:40:51.880 when his father

00:40:53.060 showed up

00:40:54.180 just to be there,

00:40:56.800 you had the police

00:40:57.920 throw him out.

00:41:00.400 Texas needs to wake up. 1.00

00:41:02.140 This entire country

00:41:03.160 needs to wake up.

00:41:04.580 We've got a lot

00:41:05.320 further to go,

00:41:07.200 but guess what, folks?

00:41:08.240 We're going to go

00:41:08.960 all the way through

00:41:09.820 because it's Easter time

00:41:11.660 and Christ

00:41:12.880 is crashing down

00:41:14.520 the gates of hell.

00:41:16.880 Ladies and gentlemen,

00:41:17.600 as always,

00:41:18.020 you have my permission

00:41:18.680 to lay short.

00:41:19.680 Jack, you're safe.
