This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
If you go to Singapore, Rich, everything else, they had a huge drug problem.

If you want to get rid of it, it's not easy to say the death penalty.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
Today is June 21st, 2023.
Anno Domini.
Today is the 500th episode of Human Events.
So I want to say thank you to everyone who has stuck with us for like 500 episodes.
How did we do this?
I must have been double counting something.
I don't know.
But look, I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone that supported us over the few years that we've been on Tens of millions of downloads.
Look, when they came to us and said, let's do a show, I said, alright, let's do it.
But, you know, I want it to be...
The show that we want to do, not just a show that other people want us to do, and I just appreciate the support, and we couldn't do this without all of you.
When I talk about shows and movies that need support, my wife and I, Tanya Tay, we went to Washington D.C., we went in downtown last night, and in Washington D.C., we were able to watch the hardest movie that I've ever seen in my entire life to sit through.
And this film, and we've got a clip for it that I want to show you, it will bring you to tears within the first few minutes.
How many pedophiles you got?
- Yeah.
288.
- What kind of kids you found? - It is the fastest growing international crime network that the world has ever seen.
It has already passed the illegal arms trade, and soon it's gonna pass the drug trade.
Because you can sell a bag of cocaine one time to the child five to ten times a day.
God's children are not for sale.
In fact, some of the footage that you see right there in the trailer is actually footage that's not from the movie.
That's real footage.
That's not something that was filmed extra.
Those films of child snatching.
I'll just say this.
Tanya turned to me at one point and asked me if I was saying something to her during the film.
And then she realized that I wasn't saying anything.
I was just praying.
I didn't know how else to express or deal with the emotions that I was running through while I was watching this movie because it follows the path of two children who are stolen from their home under false pretenses and it shows what happens to those children.
Throughout the film.
As they are trafficked.
They're shoved into a container.
I don't want to give it all away, but they're shoved into a container.
And they are bought and sold.
And I will say that it's not explicit in terms of what you see.
It's not graphic in terms of what you see.
It's emotional.
And I would certainly just say that this is not a film that you want to bring kids to.
I would say, you know, teenage and up, right?
You make the decision, but definitely not something for young kids.
This is, this is rough.
There's a heist element to it.
There's lots of action, but the underlying emotion of what's going on with these children and these sick, I mean, folks, I did a year at Guantanamo Bay, alright?
I came face-to-face with those guys, working as an analyst down there, and...
This is different.
This is different than a terrorist.
This is different than a murderer.
This is different than a criminal, you know, petty crime.
Because this is someone who is going after children.
Little children.
And they know what they're doing.
They all know.
And you hear the screams of the children.
You see the look in their eyes before it happens.
You see their tears right after.
And all I have to say is everyone must see this film.
They must share the truth.
Thank God that Jim Caviezel and everyone we got to meet with them made this.

I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
Alright folks, we have to talk about this because we are splitting things up.
The woke corporations, they're out there.
The LA Dodgers, etc.
We are tired of them.
We're exhausted.
We don't want a virtue signal anymore when we're just trying to buy products.
Look, progressive corporate America is pushing their crazy messaging that is alienating conservative families.
It's eroding the future of the American dream.
It is prominent all over the country.
You got Starbucks strong-arming their customers on abortion, PayPal is canceling people, makeup companies like Maybelline are making a mockery of women by supporting trans models, and then of course you see what Disney's doing, forcing gender ideology in every single movie now.

Also, really excited to bring on our next guest.
I almost met our next guest when we were out in L.A.
last week, but it turns out I couldn't find her within the throngs of thousands of praying and prayerful and peaceful Catholics.
But ladies and gentlemen, we have the great author, writer, and mom, And domestic extremists, by the way.
Peachy Kanan joins us now.
Peachy, thank you so much for being here on Human Events with us.
Thank you for having me, Jack.
It's great to be here.
Well, tell me, so we didn't get to link up at the rally.
You wrote an incredible article about it.
What, just for the audience, you know, for someone who was there, what did it feel like to see something like that right in the heart of deep blue L.A.?
I mean, that was incredible.
I've never seen that many, like, base Catholics in one place in my entire life.
I mean, even when I go to mass.
And just all the cops that were there, I mean, and they were, I don't know if you noticed, but the police were definitely on our side, the LAPD.
As we processed up to- Big time, big time.
Yeah.
They were saying, God bless you, to the people.
People were being so kind and polite to them.
I mean, honestly, here in LA, that was probably a new experience for them, to be welcomed and treated respectfully by people in LA.
For the first time in, what, 30 years?
Yeah, right.
I mean, it was a different story here in the summer of 2020.
And so, you know, we see all this, we see the piece, we see the amazing, and there's something to me, it feels like, and we saw The Sound of Freedom last night, and I have to tell you, you need to see this movie if you haven't seen it.
Everyone needs to see it.
And I feel like there's, in some way, the rally that we did, the prayer rally at the LA Dodgers, The fact that Sound of Freedom is coming out, the fact that your book is now out there.
Now, it really is part of this huge pendulum swing back to the norm, just back.
It's not even all the way to the right, right?
This isn't some like, you know, right-wing, you know, fantasy, whatever.
This is just back to norm because it's swung too far to the left and things have gone too far.
Can you thread that needle for us?
How does it all fit together?
Yeah, absolutely.
That's why I wrote my book, Domestic Extremist, a practical guide to winning the culture war.
It's not about being a real domestic extremist.
That's what they think we are.
All we are is extremely domestic.
You know, we want to live our inborn identities as men and women.
We want to get married.
We want to raise children.
And right now we need to protect those children.
I mean, our kids feel like they're under attack everywhere, at school, on all their screens.
It's really coming from all directions.
And so that's really what the book is about.
It's not about being some kind of crazy person.
It's about a return to norms.
And I'm not talking about going back to the 1780s.
How about the 1980s?
When it was normal for a woman to have three children, when marriage was considered a good way to be happy.
These things have become totally taboo.
That's exactly right.
I mean, you look at some of this and, you know, people say, oh, you know, women in the workplace, women caring for kids.
I mean, my mother worked a full career.
She was professional.
She went up and then she, but what she did was that she went to college, then had kids, like right away.
Took a couple of years where she was sort of working half time, part time, et cetera.
Then after we were older, she went back to school, got her master's, continued on in her career and was perfectly fine having both.
And yet we were told and women were told that there's no possible way you can do that.
It's completely insane, you know, and conservatives just want people in the, you know, just want women in the in the in the home shackled to the kitchens.
But that being said, if there's also a mentality that I would also point out to say, like, what's wrong with a parent staying home?
Like we live with this mindset as if like that's that's Prison, that's slavery.
Okay, really compared to driving for an hour and a half each way every day Yeah, I mean, I write in the book about my experience.
I mean, look, I'm a working mom.
I work at home.
When I had little kids, I stayed home.
- He didn't make it a way to work in that movie though.
Last I can tell.
And that this idea that you're being shackled to a cubicle is somehow liberating as opposed to having a family, I don't think so. - Yeah, I mean, I write in the book about my experience.
I mean, look, I'm a working mom.
I work at home when I had little kids, I stayed home.
We took a huge financial sacrifice for me to do that.
But I didn't wanna outsource my parenting of a newborn to strangers.
I just feel like that is a normal maternal instinct that young women are like told to ignore that, that feeling that, that you should be with, want to be with your newborn.
You're not allowed to even say that.
And then when my then four year old was in preschool, I had an incredible opportunity.
I went to work at a huge, um, giant entertainment company here in Los Angeles.
And, you know, it was sort of like a dream job.
I couldn't turn it down.
And these women would have their babies and come back to work after six weeks.
And I would be like, where, where's your baby?
You know?
And they were like, well, he's at school.
And that's what they would call daycare to kind of like make it feel, sound better than it was.
And it was incredibly sad.
And then I got pregnant, luckily, and I went home and I never went back.
And I mean, yes, you can work.
You can have a career.
But when your little kids are small, I mean, they want mommy, and I think it's time we have to listen to what the babies want from us.
That's so important.
Now, tell us some more about the book.
Okay, we talked about women.
What about guys?
Why should guys get this book?
I mean, you've got crochet on the cover.
That being said, you know, I don't know.
Crochet's kind of cool.
I just don't know if I'm going to sit and do it.
You know, it's so funny.
I actually have so many male readers.
Who have been reaching out to me and DMing me.
Even young guys, they're reading the book, they're sharing it with their wives, with their mothers, with their mothers-in-law.
I have dads reaching out to me telling me they wrote, I had to send four books to a man, he wanted a copy for each one of his daughters.
So, I mean, this is definitely not just for women.
There's a chapter on men, what's happened to men, how the kind of myth of toxic masculinity has sort of destroyed men.
And I think it is an important read for men and women.
Despite the cross-stitch on the cover.
No, no, it's actually very cute because that's the joke, right?
It's a domestic extremist.
But, you know, I'm a domestic extremist that's being completely normal and staying home.
And look, you know, this is something that I could see Tanya, my wife, loving because, you know, she comes from Eastern Europe and she comes from a place that doesn't have wokeness or even the last, whatever you want to call it, 50, 60, 70 years of leftism that has just been pushing back on traditional society.
And when she comes here, even something you just mentioned about daycare, she said something about that.
She said, well, where I'm from, usually moms would take off three years.
And I said, what do you mean three years?
She said, well, three years per kid.
And you would take off and you would stay home.
And there's also a huge culture of multi-generational living that the grandparents come and take care of the kids.
And they just never went along with any of these things that we consider, you know, quote, unquote, normal.
Yeah, I mean, they basically kind of brainwash you as a young woman.
I went through this too.
Why would you ever and then you're going to pay somebody who's, you know, has got to deal with what 30 40 other kids that's not giving the one on one attention plus that the attention that you would be getting from someone who is a family member, a direct family member of the children.
It's as simple as that.
Yeah, I mean, they basically kind of brainwash you as a young woman.
I went through this, too.
I mean, the book is really about also my journey from being like a I was like a pro choice feminist liberal.
Okay, I was a secular atheist.
I never met a conservative.
I never met anyone who believed in God until I was way into my 20s.
So this book, I did not wake up like this.
This book is really about also my like 180 that I did.
But basically, they brainwash you from a young age to sort of distance yourself from your maternal instinct.
Those are just eggs.
If you're pregnant, it's just a clump of cells.
Don't feel bad if you have to get an abortion.
Take the birth control and stay on it until you're 40.
And, oh, if you want a baby, don't worry, we'll freeze your eggs.
And getting women used to the idea that they can delay motherhood, motherhood is not important, and that you can just drop your six-week-old off at daycare, then what it leads to is over time, as those children grow up, You sort of feel like a little bit less ownership over them and it's much easier then for teachers, school counselors, you know, transgender activists to kind of get their hooks into your kids because you've kind of relinquished your parental authority.
It's a total bill of goods.
Where can people go to follow you?
Where can they go to get the book?
I'm on Twitter at Keenan Peachy and the book is for sale now on Amazon and anywhere books are sold.
Everyone, go and get this book for the woman in your life, for the men in your life, for everyone out there, and go follow Petey Keenan.
She's a great writer and a great follow on Twitter.
Thank you so much for being with us.
Thank you, Jack.
God bless.
Look, folks, you gotta go out there in this world, you gotta work with people who share values.
And look, I'm a cradle Catholic kind of guy, I sort of came out of the box this way, but for so many people, it's so important to hear these stories.
What turned you on?
What brought you to the light?
What woke you up?
And I did have moments where, you know, you go through things, you say, I believe the government, I believe the media, you believe the hype, and then you get into different things, you get it.
Look, I joined the Intel community, I went down to Guantanamo Bay, we thought we're saving the world, we thought we're doing the right thing.
And then you see what's actually going on behind the scenes in the Intel community, especially in Washington, DC.
And that is The truth.
So stay tuned, folks.
We're going to come right back.
We've got Richard Barris up next to go through all the data in the 2024 horse race.
Stay tuned.
When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with bloods, and them boys had a saying.
You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trim out his outlets, a bam, ship, nippy, bam, bam, like human events with Jack Posobiec.

Folks, I promised you we'd have him back.
We have with us the People's Pundit, Rich Barris.
Look, Rich, we're looking at a lot of insanity going on out there on the campaign trail.
We got people coming in.
We got Trump giving interviews.
This massive Hunter Biden deal.
And the DeSantis campaign, they're raising money.
The money is still coming in.
And I guess my question for you is the horse race.
There's a question, and I would say a rumor.
Producer Angelo asked me about it.
He said, this is what I want to ask Rich.
He said, is Trump slipping in the polls?
Is that the latest?
Is he slipping?
Is there movement?
What's going on?
Can you break it down for us?
Are any of these indictments, now that they've sunk in a little bit more, now that the media is pushing the, you know, the spin more, they say, oh, why did he take the boxes?
Look at all the boxes.
Are we seeing any movement?
What's the latest in the horse race front for 2024?
We've consistently had Trump now for weeks, you know, around 60%.
So whether it comes in 58 or 62 or 61 or 59, You know, it's been consistent.
It hasn't really changed.
So we haven't seen any slip for him at all.
This is something I have to really say.
There really isn't a horse race.
I mean, that's the truth of it.
If you look at this nomination, you know, there's not a whole lot we can compare it to historically because he's a former president.
But if you go back to 2016, Jack, You know, we have the one top tier candidate here.
That is never usually the case.
We have several top tier candidates, maybe a few mid and then a bottom.
Everyone else is bottom tier.
So the second biggest vote getter is Ron DeSantis.
That's true.
And he is raising money.
And it's not because he's winning any more votes.
I really think this comes down to You have Trump who is the only top tier candidate and who has a clear majority and then you have everybody else who is running to be the replacement.
Because, I mean, Jack, right now Ted Cruz would have been in a stronger position than Ron DeSantis is.
So even John Kasich would end up in the 20s in polling in 2016.
And Trump would be leading a crowded field like this one with around 30 to 35.
And at one point he did start to hit 40, but not for a long time.
Here we have a very different situation.
So it's not really a horse race.
It's a race to see who becomes the replacement if that's inevitably something that they're able to do to him.
Well, and that is the key.
And look, I've said this to a lot of people, and I think that it is something that bears out because we see the indictments dropping.
It seems like there's a new one every week.
I think it is, by the way, going to end up just becoming noise to a lot of people.
Because there's some, look, there's folks like you and me that we're the new, you know, we got our news junkie hat on saying, oh, what's this one?
And we want to parse the tea leaves.
They think much more in generalities than we do because they don't really have the time.
They're living their life.
They're trying to put bread on the table.
like that you're going to be, you know, looking at it one way, but did the vast amount of people look at this like that or did they look at it differently?
They think much more in generalities than we do because they don't really have the time.
They're living their life.
They're trying to put bread on the table.
They're trying to put food in the cupboard, right?
So they have other things.
We live in this world.
So we, you know, we're always trying to parse out every little detail and what impact may this have on the other.
And in truth, the general public is really just looking for affirmations and If you asked people six months ago whether or not they thought the Joe Biden administration would try to charge Donald Trump to hurt him in the election, they would have told you they believe that.
If you asked them whether or not they thought that Hunter Biden would be let go without Trump, they'll tell you absolutely.
So what these events are doing, and I think the Hunter Biden thing really does hurt the anti-Trump forces even more.
And you literally have Donald Trump saying they'll let him off with something small and then it happens.
So all it does is confirm it.
Remember in 16, Jack, people really knew or they believed that Hillary Clinton was a pay-for-play junkie.
And when the WikiLeaks emails dropped, it just confirmed what they believed.
So it wasn't conclusive.
It's just it confirms something they thought about the candidates.
So it reaffirmed their views.
And that's the way the general public views this stuff.
It is.
So can they change their minds on stuff?
Of course.
But they don't look at it the way we do.
And the events of the last week simply tell them what they already knew.
Which is sad.
Look, and I see that as well, right?
And it is a sad state of affairs, obviously.
But I do think that the general public already views it that way.
And if anything, though, you know, you have to, I guess, say that then, who does Trump need to talk to then in terms of reaching out?
So people can say, all right, you know, there's those disaffected Democrats in the Rust Belt.
Obviously, that's number one.
And I actually, Let me ask you a question about that specifically because this has come up.
It's been in reports.
We're reporting it over at the Post Millennial.
We've seen reports from a fundraiser.
The question of tariffs on China has come up.
We could potentially see this as a wedge issue now between Trump and DeSantis in a way that we haven't really seen wedge issues.
They've been, you know, sort of arguing over, I'll hire better people, you'll hire better people, but not really policy differences.
This, I do think, though, would be a major policy difference if it bears out.
And so let me ask you this, and I'm not going to say because I haven't seen the DeSantis campaign make a huge pitch on this, I'm not going to put it on them, but let me ask you this.
When it comes to the issue of tariffs, how important is that in the Rust Belt on China?
It is major, and it's amazing because Rust Belt voters are A lot more savvy on trade than the rest of the country.
And we found that out because we have polled every single state about trade negotiation tactics, such as tariffs and policy, different policies, NAFTA versus the USMCA.
They know a lot more than the average voter.
And I imagine that's because it has impacted them.
And when I saw that, I got to tell you, I think DeSantis stepped in it.
The minute I saw that, I thought to myself, well, even if something was to happen and Donald Trump did not become the nominee, then that would hurt DeSantis badly in the Rust Belt.
So in places like Pennsylvania, they support the use of tariffs for trade negotiation, 2 to 1 margin, Jack, 2 to 1.
Sometimes it's three to one.
It's almost closer to three to one.
Republicans over the years, and this is why it could impact the primary if Trump is smart with it, because over the years, Republicans used to oppose tariffs and Democrats were supportive of tariffs.
And then it changed with Donald Trump.
It flipped.
And Trump talking about tariffs made Democrats, most, you know, the party generally, recoil.
10-15% of Democrats being that working-class, trade-sensitive voter, that was who Trump could appeal to that other Republicans could not.
And now in a Republican primary, if you are against tariffs and you sound like you're being funded by the Club for Growth, you're going to have a seriously difficult time.
Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and remember the first in the nation contest is Iowa and they tried to outflank Trump on abortion because that has been the predominant issue over 40 years.
It's already a difficult task to go up against a guy who overturned Roe v. Wade or was appointed the justices who did.
Now they're gonna have to do that and tell the farmers who support those tariffs, by the way, that you would not have supported them.
It's a major mistake.
Major blunder by DeSantis.
Major.
And by the way, when I see something like that.
Oh, go ahead.
Oh, sorry.
I was just going to say a complete opposite of what I heard him say at an event in Naples, Florida last year.
Somebody had asked him specifically about his change in his views of economics.
And he said, you know what I've come to learn under Trump?
We have a country before we have an economy.
And sometimes you have to do what's best for the country instead of what is typically thought of as the best thing for the economy.
And it sounded like he was making a very America first like pitch.
And here we have DeSantis was saying this.
Absolutely.
He said it at a seminar in Hillsdale, 100% for Hillsdale Leadership Seminar.
We both gave speeches there.
And it sounded like he was going to adopt a much more America-first foreign policy, trade policy.
And now here we are again, which is a flip-flop from what other people have heard from the past.
And he's got to stop doing that.
But trade opening itself up is bad.
This to me, and I've said this by the way, and for folks out there who have been tracking it, whenever I go out and talk about the New Right or the America First movement, I always say trade and immigration are the two major issues that have switched Trump from the Previous, you know, GOP-E establishment-type Mitt Romney sort of candidate.
And if you notice that when Bret Baier asked Donald Trump what would he do day one, the very first two things he talked about were trade and immigration.
It was right out of it.
And like, I'm not sitting there, you know, coordinating with the Trump campaign before they go out and do Bret Baier, but...
The idea that, you know, these are the key issues that I think have stuck with him because, look, he's been talking about it for 40 years.
He's been talking about it since he was on with Oprah.
He used to write op-eds about this.
And, of course, it's intrinsically linked to foreign policy because both of those are aspects of how we conduct our foreign policy.
Neither of which include, by the way, waging war or proxy wars.
Rich, if you can stick with this for another segment, I'd love to be able to tease this out a little bit more.
Because this could absolutely blow open, not only the primary, but potentially the general.
Because when we're talking about the Rust Belt, we know that you need at least one or two of those Rust Belt states for anybody who wants to be The next President of the United States, or else you're going to end up with the Mitt Romney map.
Coming back, Richard Barris, The People's Pundit, Human Events.
All right, we're back on Richard Barris.
Rich, we've been talking about the Rust Belt, you and I, and we're talking about specifically what makes a Rust Belt voter vote for Trump.
And talking about these issues, trade and immigration, it feels like with this issue of tariffs, and then also Trump's issue on Fox News is his answer to his top two issues, that this is actually bringing it to the fore.
And here's what's interesting is, Those aren't necessarily, I mean, obviously the border is a huge issue.
It comes up, by the way, in the movie Sound of Freedom, and we were plugging it before you came on, the border plays a huge role in this because they show how the southern border and the fact that we don't have one is used to exploit these children going back and forth.
And when we talk about migrants across the border, No, it's not true.
It's human trafficking that's going on.
It's actually human trafficking.
At one point, I'll kind of give away a little bit, but they're able to save one of the kids because they pick him up.
At the border.
But that's only because they had already identified him.
This idea of Joe Biden taking away the DNA testing, it's insane.
And that's what Trump put in.
But we were talking during the break about trade and immigration.
They're not necessarily issues that you see in the news on a day-to-day basis, yet they do swing voters because there's a lot of parts of this country where their jobs, their livelihoods, their towns, their communities are directly affected by trade and immigration.
And at the same time, though, we didn't really see those issues as the top focus in 2020.
And I think that's because of the George Floyd riots.
It's because of the pandemic.
What do you think happened in 2020 that made Trump not able to capitalize on those issues?
Yeah, we had some events, right, like COVID, that kept him away from people because, and this is what we were saying during the break, in 2016, Trump was laser focused no matter what came at him.
When he got in front of voters, whether it was a rally or a private or closer, you know, more intimate stop, when he got in front of those voters, he just continued to hammer his message about trade, which is intertwined with the economy and foreign policy.
So it allowed him to have this big, broad message.
And immigration, which also, by the way, can do much the same.
And yet, in 2020, you know, I think part of it is events, but the other part is that it was a little bit more consultants, you know, a lot more irons were in the fire, as opposed to 16, when it was, you know, very, very, same thing, a lot of synergy with the people he had around him, with his message, and it was more about the candidate and the message, and not so much about, you know, traditional campaigning, and then trying to do it in a weird setting with the pandemic, which was just, Odd.
It's never done before.
So, but I think he lost focus in 2020.
And there were issues that were on the table that were left there.
And tariffs is one of them.
And think about why does Trump get this vote nobody else gets?
Think about Bernie's coalition in 16, right?
Bernie was, first of all, used to have an A rating from the NRA, but he was anti-illegal immigration.
At that point, he used to say that it hurt workers' wages.
And he was one of only candidates Democrats and elected Democrats to say.
I'll work with Trump on some of these trade issues because he had long agreed with him.
Where did Bernie's vote come from?
And what state did he shock everybody in?
Michigan.
Where did he beat Hillary Clinton that everyone who polled it thought that Hillary Clinton was going to run away with double-digit lead, a double-digit win?
And he shocked the world with Michigan.
It was very close in Ohio and in Pennsylvania, even though Hillary Clinton was supposed to have this Rust Belt coalition and this African-American coalition that was going to help her steamroll him.
And that's not what happened.
He lost those voters in the 2020 nomination, Jack, because he gave up on that message and he became woke and he became anti-Trump TDS.
And those voters ended up just going to Trump.
But they don't like the Republican Party and they don't trust the Republican Party.
So you have that's a big chunk of.
By the way, I'm I am going to throw out there and I've said this behind the scenes a couple of places, but I've made this contention.
People disagree with me.
I can kind of see RFK playing a similar role to that as Bernie did in 2016 because he is this sort of he.
He's a populist.
He's a Democrat populist.
He's not a globalist.
He's not necessarily an elitist, even though obviously he's from the Kennedy family.
He's like the anti-Kennedy Kennedy.
Yeah, Jack, I'll blow your mind with a number right now.
In the last national poll that we did when we asked this question, because we not only were asking Republicans to identify a Trump or bust vote, a Trump only vote, we were asking Democrats as well.
And almost 40% of RFK's voters said that they would vote for Donald Trump.
If Joe Biden is again the nominee.
Where did that come from?
It's why it's interesting that his favorability now has just, and I mean this week, started to rise among Democrats.
And that's important because he hasn't been able to break 20% in our polling because all of his support comes from this independent but eligible to participate in a primary vote.
He has not really been able to break in to the Democratic Party, the base.
And the fact that his favorability is rising now, is a problem for Joe Biden.
But again, he's a sitting president.
It would be very difficult to beat him in a primary.
But what he can do, what will happen, and we've been trying to tell people this for weeks, months even, if he runs, if this guy runs, you're going to want to court his voters.
Because they're like soon to be disenfranchised voters.
much like bernie's vote was in 16 and i'm telling you jack had which by the way because we all know what the democrats are going to do we all know what the democrats are going to do to rfk we know we've seen this playbook a million times the super it doesn't matter how many delegates he i'll tell you right now doesn't matter how many delegates he gets doesn't matter how much support he has the super delegates are going to come in they will swing the convention and it'll be a done deal he could win state after state and it won't matter you know That's why they're moving the calendar the way they're doing this.
So put South Carolina ahead.
Is unbelievable.
It's blatant, blatant what they're doing.
And those are soon to be disaffected voters, soon to be very pissed off voters.
And if Donald Trump hadn't won 12 to 18 percent, depending on the Rust Belt state, of Bernie's primary vote, he would never have carried Michigan.
He would never have.
He needed that.
Pennsylvania is a little bit different story, but he needed Bernie's vote in Michigan to carry that state.
So think about it, folks.
I mean, obviously, RFK is going to have a tougher time.
Then Bernie had, but what's going to happen to him is going to be more out in the open.
And there's a lot of synergy between his vote and somebody who would vote for Donald Trump.
And I have said this before and I'll say it again, I actually think that RFK would be a major problem for Donald Trump in a general election.
He would be a very difficult candidate to beat.
Well, those Democrats that we refer to as, you know, we kind of refer to them as Rust Belt Democrats now, or Trump Democrats, but we used to call them the Reagan Democrats.
But before the Reagan Democrats, this was called the Kennedy Coalition.
This was the original working class coalition from 1960 that was able to put it forward.
This is what Ted Kennedy attempted to do.
The last time Kennedy tried to primary a sitting Democrat president.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
And by the way, if certain events did not transpire, you could have seen Ted Kennedy beat Carter.
That could have happened.
You know?
Speaking of submersibles this week, you know, it's with Ted Kennedy.
I was just gonna say.
Whoops.
Ouch.
Too soon?
Too soon?
I don't know.
Look, Rich Barris, we got a couple of minutes left.
Tell us, what are you working on right now, and then where can people go to follow you?
So I think, Jack, that when we're looking at the calendar for the nomination process, for me, of course, Iowa and New Hampshire are interesting to keep an eye on.
But the truth is, if Trump wins Iowa, it's a wrap.
And so That's why I've really focused on, so far, Florida and some of the big delegate states, because I'm really seeing it at this point as a last stand.
If you look at Super Tuesday, Trump has massive leads in the vast majority of these states, and they're not states that I don't think any other candidate could break into.
Arkansas, Alabama, right?
In Massachusetts, he has a 45 point lead.
So that would make Florida the last stand.
So we focus nationally and on Florida, but we are now, and this is where people can go, we are now asking the Locals community, what other state do you want to dip into?
And people can participate in that and in the polling and how we design it and everything at peoplespundit.locals.com.
You'll always hear it first there.
peoplespundit.locals.com.
I think that's fascinating.
So basically what Rich is saying, folks, is if Trump wins Iowa, that's going to be potentially the end of it.
But if DeSantis is able to come in, win Iowa, we could see more of a back and forth with Florida becoming the last stand.
But Super Tuesday seems like it'll be strong for Trump.
Rich, God bless you, man.
You're doing the yeoman's work out there.
You're telling us exactly what's going to happen.
Before it happens.
And of course, of course, we are praying for the people that are trapped on that submarine right now.
And thank God that there aren't any Kennedys down there.
Alright folks, we are going to come right back.
We got some more information for you here at Human Events.
Stop buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
I'm trying to listen to the new Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
Alright folks, there has also been a ton of news lately, particularly as pertains to the People's Republic of China.
A Chinese spy base that originally the Biden administration told us didn't exist on the island of Cuba.
They said, it's not there, come as Cuba doesn't have a Chinese spy base.
They would never have a Chinese spy base.
We would never allow it.
And then they say, okay, they do have a Chinese spy base, but it's Trump's fault.
And they try to blame it on Trump.
And then they try to do everything else under the sun to blame these things the same way.
If you remember, they tried to blame the, the spy balloon.
They tried to blame the spy balloon on Trump.
They put the onus on Trump.
Folks, we see what's going on here.
Tony Blinken went on and did the kowtow.
He went in and did the kowtow on, right, in Beijing.
They went and did the kowtow with Tony Blinken there, like a little clerk that he is.
And you can see him there, leaning, leaning in to Xi Jinping.
And folks, I have to tell you, If you're wondering why all this is happening, if you're wondering what's going on, if you're wondering what we can do and what we can learn about, number one, I told you about the tariffs.
We already talked about this.
We do not want a war with China.
We do not want to escalate this.
This has been Mearsheimer's warning that we have been banging on the table for six months.
We do not want to enter into a two-front armed conflict on both sides of the planet.
We're currently in a proxy war with Russia.
Right now.
As stands.
Even though there's an operational pause on the battlefield in Ukraine.
But if we go and escalate tensions even further with Taiwan, vis-a-vis the Taiwan independence and the Taiwan story, even though Blinken came out and said, we do not support Taiwanese independence, Taiwan needs independence.
Folks, you have to understand what's coming.
So if you remember, during this past Christmas break, when I decided to completely throw the news cycle out and spend nothing but six weeks going into full depth the receipts of the CCP,
Now you can see that everything that we talked about has come true, it is coming true, and it is coming to pass because this administration is not attacking them, they're not against them, they're bought and sold.
And so people have said to us, how can we get to the China files?
Folks, we have come up with a very simple way to do it.
Myself, the team, The crack team here at Human Events has come up with the Little Red Meme.
Just as Chairman Mao had his Little Red Book, we've now created the Little Red Meme.
Go scan the QR code on the Little Red Meme and you'll get full access immediately.
You can save this, take a screenshot right now, we've put it out on social media, I've put it across Twitter, Truth, Getter, on the Telegram page.
We have this out.
You can share this with anyone.
This is non-partisan.
It goes through the full, in-depth documentation.
The receipts on the CCP, the receipts on Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaoping, Tiananmen Square, the seeds of globalism, the globalist system that was built with the blood of the students of Tiananmen, the secret deal between George H.W.
Bush, General Scowcroft, when he went over there in June of 1989 to sign the deal with the CCP to put together the system that we now call globalism.
That is the system that gutted the Midwest, that gutted the South, that gutted this country.
That is why Shanghai looks the way it does and I-95 is falling apart in Philadelphia.
It's all because of this.
Folks, you need to get the China files and you can share this out by the way.
With anybody and as a free troll if you'd like a free troll what you can do is crop it so that you don't see it's from human events and then just send it to one of your liberal buddies and or you know liberal family members and say hey I found this great piece on China you guys got to see this so you can even crop out the the human events part and just send it and then get to see their reaction when they open it up and see that it's actually completely exposing the truth about what's going on.
We also walk through A Taiwan invasion scenario, what it would look like, what it would look like from a naval perspective.
The fact of the matter is that you would see, and by the way, what I, the only thing, and if we ever do go back and edit this, and I don't know, Producer Angelo, we may have to look at to see if there's a way we can add a little coda to that episode, because the use, and I would, and I've talked about this on War Room, the use of the Kamikaze drone fleets that we've seen on the battlefield in Ukraine that Russia has used, I predict
That that is exactly what would be used against US aircraft carriers as well as just massive streams of rockets of missile barrages that would be laden into these aircraft carriers in any Taiwan Strait scenario.
Folks, you're talking about a carrier, a United States aircraft carrier with 5,000 sailors on it.
5,000 sailors.
Sunk at the bottom of the East China Sea.
You have to understand, Those kids, those officers, those sailors, those enlisted, they wouldn't be coming home.
So if that's what you want, then please, go along with Joe Biden.
Please, go along with the insanity.
Put the neocons, put the neolibs, put Victoria Nuland in power.
By the way, the same Victoria Nuland who apparently is getting involved in the Kosovo situation right now because Kosovo and Serbia are going at it again.
This was something, we had Rick Grinnell on the other day.
The story's going completely viral over there in the Balkans.
This idea that they are now going toe-to-toe again and who's involved?
It's, of course, Victoria Nuland.
Folks, there's a lot of insanity going on in our world today.
We are going to follow up with what's going on in Kosovo.
We will follow up with these conflicts in the Taiwan Strait.
We will follow up the Korean Peninsula, all of it, Ukraine, Russia, of course.
I do want to also let you know that there is going to be a very special episode of Tim Pool tonight.
That's right, TimCast IRL will return tonight with a very special Though as yet to be unnamed host, so make sure that you check it out.
But folks, I got some news before the show came on today about a friend of the family who passed away and a friend of my dad's.
Go and support the Ancient Order of Hibernians because he was a member of them but I remember this guy because he worked in the paint shop in the town where we grew up.
I've talked about how my town's fallen apart and how you can't live in towns like that and towns like that don't exist anymore and a place for my kids And I was thinking about a town with a paint shop, where when you walked in, the guy knew your name, you knew who he was, you were friends with his kids, you played together, you played Little League together.
Paint shops don't exist anymore.
Knowing people that work in your town doesn't exist anymore.
That's the America we have to get back to.
Just going fishing with your friends, knowing people in your community, that is what we are fighting for.
So it's a reminder to all of us.
That your days are numbered.
You only get 24 hours in every day, and it's up to you.
