EPISODE 555: LIBERTYSAFE COOPORATING WITH FBI, 61 TREEHOUSE ANTIFA INDICTED ON RICO CHARGES IN GA
On today’s episode of Human Events, Jack Posobiec pulls zero punches on LibertySafe, a gun safe company, and their apparent cooperation with the FBI. Poso is joined by Tony Shaffer for an elevated discussion on Tony Blinken’s latest surprise visit to Ukraine and a candid analysis on Ukraine’s ability to win the war against Russia. Julie Kelly joins Human Events for an update on Enrique Tarrio’s 22 year sentence for his “involvement” in the Jan. 6th riots as well as an in-depth look into the A...

This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
Deliver us from evil!
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was slapped with a 22-year prison sentence Tuesday after his conviction on seditious conspiracy and other charges in the federal January 6th investigation.
According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, a Russian attack on a city in the eastern part of the country has killed at least 16 people.
The attack comes as Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Kyiv this morning for an unannounced visit.
The U.S.
believes North Korean leader Kim Jong-un expects to meet with President Putin in Russia.
And so we believe that there is still a strong core on a bipartisan basis of support for ensuring that we continue to provide Ukraine with the support that it needs because it's fundamentally in America's national interest to do so.
We listen to the experts, the scientists.
That's what we do here.
And we're going to be continuously working with them.
We know, we know that these vaccines work, right?
We know when people stay up to date with their vaccine, that works.
Will you demand that the vaccine companies, the pharmaceutical companies, release their vaccine data to the public so that we can see what they're actually seeing about the side effects of this vaccine?
They should be doing that if they have facts.
I mean, the facts are public.
They should be made public immediately.
People should understand that and they should know what research is showing.
You know, they have an obligation to be honest.
And if they are going to hold back, that means they're holding back something that's not good.
So it's good for them to be honest.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events with Jack Pacific Live, Washington, D.C.
Today is September 6, 2023.
Anno Domini.
Liberty Safe breaking today.
Liberty Safe's trust with their entire customer base.
So what's the situation?
What are we getting into?
How did this happen?
Well, Liberty Safe was a company that marketed itself to gun enthusiasts, Second Amendment supporters, all across the country.
In fact, all across the world.
International brand.
But it turns out, it's more like Liberty, not so safe, because the gun safe company gave the FBI access for a Jan Sixer, when they came to his house, FBI reached out,
We don't even know yet if they actually had a warrant because in the FBI's Statement according to or the statement of Liberty Save according to the to them it says the FBI requested Access After we were contacted by them, and then they used another line saying, our company's protocol is to provide access codes to law enforcement if a warrant grants them access to a property.
If a warrant grants them access to a property.
Yet, does it say that they had a specific warrant for the safe for this January 6th protester?
Doesn't say that.
His name was Nathan Hughes.
He's friends with the Hodge Twins.
I want to see if we can get the Hodge Twins on later this week to talk about this.
Maybe tomorrow.
But Liberty Safe apparently didn't ask questions.
Couldn't be bothered.
couldn't be bothered to actually stand up for the rights of their customers, couldn't be bothered to look into the situation.
They said we didn't have all the, in their own statement, Liberty Safe said, we didn't have all the facts of the investigation, which means you didn't ask, which means you didn't even try.
Which means you didn't even think about the rights of your customers.
You didn't even care about your customer base.
You just immediately jumped and did whatever the government asked you to do.
Now who is Liberty Safe?
Liberty Safe used to be a company that was founded by a guy by the name of Dave Crosby at a pace in Utah, but nowadays they're run by Monomoy Capital Partners.
Monomoy Capital Partners, which if you go on their website, they're based out of New York City and offices in Greenwich.
Oh, look at this.
So wonderful.
Check out their About Us section.
Oh, sustainable success, our values, humility, teamwork, leadership, continuous improvement, private equity, strategies, So it's gonna happen every time, folks.
The companies will fold.
Because they're all owned by woke capital.
And in this case, LibertySafe is not so safe.
So if you have one, I strongly urge you, get yourself a mechanical lock, lock that thing down, and if you're in the market, never, ever buy a LibertySafe again.
And I'm sorry, but when you break the back of this movement, when you break your trust with your customers, you are never going to get it back.
Enjoy bankruptcy.
Liberty safe.
Traitors.

Folks, you can look at the economic numbers.
We are teetering right now.
Go look at what just came out this morning.
Teetering on the brink of an economic meltdown.
The credit default is coming.
And your retirement could be gone in an instant.
Inflation has hit 40-year highs, prices are spiraling out of control, and our dollars buy less and less and less, and Americans are racking up more debt than ever just to stay afloat.
Gasoline prices are now spiking.
Your monthly bills are escalating groceries.
This is what Bidenflation, that silent evil force that eats away at your purchasing power, is.
Basic necessities are now unattainable luxuries.
And when prices spiral out of control, they not only disrupt your ability to live day-to-day, they jeopardize your savings and your retirement for your family.

We were talking in the last segment about this Liberty Safe situation.
People are saying, well, how do they have an access code?
Well, what it means is that the company still retains access at that level, a skeleton key essentially, an electronic skeleton key to your safe.
No matter what you change the code to, they have a manufacturer's code that they can get into it with.
That means anyone at the company then has access to your safe who knows the ability to get in or has the ability to get into that.
So, let's say you're in a situation where the government decides that you're not allowed to have a certain kind of gun anymore.
And the ATF, or your state, because of the registry, from the background checks they've already built through NICS,
says okay we know this person has this we're going to walk right up and now we have a warrant for it and now we're going to call up liberty and they're going to give us the access code that's exactly what they would be able to do in that scenario that's what you're getting when you go with liberty safe so you must be secure about not only your families we're talking about the financial future now we're talking about your liberty and of course for your own personally legally owned firearms in this country it's ridiculous but
We got Tony Schafer on, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schafer.
We're going to talk about Ukraine.
Tony, I wanted to just throw out here from an intel officer perspective, if Liberty Safe has the ability to open up your safe, is that still a safe?
Well, no, it's not a safe for two reasons.
First, to your point, if they've got a skeleton key and they didn't disclose that, that's, I believe, a form of fraud.
They need to disclose that or else it's to report not secure.
Secondly, if that's available, Uh, the government or other folks who gain access to it can essentially breach your safe, uh, and you'd never know.
So it's, it's not something that, uh, I would recommend anybody accept as a part of something they bring into their home to secure, uh, something as important as firearms.
And who, by the way, If the safe is breached, is the manufacturer then liable for whatever's stolen out of it?
Because, you know, perhaps that person who broke into it had their code.
It opens a Pandora's box, Jack, of a number of issues, which I think really do put the company in legal jeopardy, not to mention marketing jeopardy, by this fact coming out.
No, I think it's exactly right, but I want to shift over because Tony we we wanted you want to talk about Ukraine so we've got your other favorite Tony Tony Blinken is Over in in Ukraine actually today making this sort of surprise trip but there's a lot that's going on even in the last couple of days since I've had you because they've sacked
The Minister of Defense in Ukraine, we have a story up at humanevents.com, now they're telling us this guy Reznikov, this was done over corruption, but those corruption allegations have been around for a long time, and this counter-offensive has really been what's failed.
They're even going after, they've replaced the general in charge of the whole thing, Serovkin, which is something that you actually predicted would happen the last time you were here, and they've arrested Igor Kolomoisky, who's the very oligarch that was behind Zelensky's entire career, both in media and in politics.
Now Blinken goes over.
Tony, what are we to make of all this?
Well, the first thing that Blinken did is he pledged more money.
That's a huge clue.
Another billion dollars.
Now think about this, Jack, from the practical perspective.
We already can't account for funds that have been sent.
We already know that they're firing people for corruption, and then you want to give them more money?
Come on.
This is obviously more grift and payoffs from the Biden administration to those there.
All these people are being fired.
It's not about corruption.
It's about the fact that the Western-directed, Western-planned, Western-executed, I would even go so far as to say, offensive has failed.
We talked about this.
You know, the segment that we did has been heavily It's shown to folks.
I stand by my words.
They have, the Ukrainians have maybe, maybe three weeks left to win.
They're not going to win.
And because within three weeks, you're going to have the wet season come and man, it's going to be like burning man with tanks.
If you can picture that.
I'm just telling you, if you could picture that, yeah, it's going to be, you know, everything bogged down with tanks and no hot chicks.
It's not a good trade-off, Jack, I'm just saying.
If I got to be stuck in the mud, I'd rather be stuck with hot cheeks than tanks.
Just saying.
So, but I think that's what they're faced with.
And so all of these firings are more related to the failure to show any progress to the West regarding the offensive than corruption.
They're all corrupt.
Ukraine was the most corrupt nation in Europe.
Before the war, all of a sudden they became saints.
Well, they're not saints, and I think it's very clear that Blinken trying to throw more money at it simply is a Hail Mary trying to get them to do something at some point against the Russians, and I just don't think it's going to work.
Well, it seems we're getting a two-pronged approach because we're also seeing in TheNation.com, the magazine, they had a whole piece up about how potentially, even in D.C., they were very quietly talking about actually, brace yourself, negotiations with the Russians.
What a concept!
It's been two years almost, I have never heard this word.
Could it be potentially, do you think, Did Tony Blinken go over there and possibly hand Zelensky a list of demands to basically saying, look, this is what you're going to have to give up.
I think that there were demands.
I don't know what those demands were.
At this point, the issue of negotiation is the only option other than complete defeat.
At this point, and I keep saying this, I'm not pro-Russian.
Putin's a thug.
I know people may not understand.
We, the think tank I lead, the think tanks I lead, are being attacked constantly by Russian trolls because they don't like the fact I'm calling out Putin.
So, I'm not pro-Russian.
What I'm saying is, the numbers are all in the Russians' favor.
They dominate the battlefield.
No matter how much high-tech we give Ukraine, you're just not going to overwhelm the Russians' ability to adapt to overcome that technology.
They're learning a great deal about how we would fight, which is, I think, something we need to be paying attention to.
And more importantly, It's just a numbers game, Jack.
It's just anybody who's actually studied any level of strategy will understand instantly Ukraine does not have any potential to prevail based on simply the manpower numbers and the losses they've suffered over the past 18 months.
It's just not there.
And so the alternative to negotiation is watching the Russians at the time of their choosing Return to the offensive and start taking whole parts of Ukraine back because Ukraine's out of gas and no amount of Ukrainian work is going to prevent it.
The only way you would see this is by a third party, a NATO or some other nation coming in with its manpower and I don't think anybody's willing to do that at this point.
Well, we've already seen some potential strikes involving Estonia, some stuff going on down in Romania.
Of course, we know Poland has made a lot of comments about going ahead or sending folks in.
I actually saw some people commenting.
I just don't think Poland's ready.
No, I don't think Poland's ready.
One option that I did see that was kind of facetious, but actually maybe half true, is that if Poland really wants to get involved in Ukraine, they could actually just deploy some of the Ukrainian men that have fled from Ukraine that are now living in Poland, just send a few of them back, and you'd have enough for a couple of battalions.
I think we ought to send in Hunter Biden, airdrop him in and hope for the best.
I think that's a good strategy.
The expert of the East.
Now, Tony, I think you're exactly right that we are now facing a critical juncture.
They've only got a couple more weeks left before, they said they were going to punch through the Russian lines and be all the way down to Crimea.
Something that I've I brought up a little bit on Twitter yesterday, but I'm going to throw out there, I think it's important for people to say while we're talking about this, is that it seems that the West has found these Crimean Tatars and they're using them as sort of a group now to claim that they need to liberate down in Crimea.
So, Zelensky is appointing one to be the head of the Ministry of Defense.
and then he's going down and there's Twitter accounts that are exploding of Crimean totters all over the place.
Tony, we're coming up on the break though, and we have to run, let us know, where can people go to follow you, get more information from your center? - So, projectsentinel.com is a good place for us for people to come check us out.

Folks!
Massive case down in Georgia, and no, it's not one involving Donald Trump, because it turns out that the RICO law is actually being applied down in Georgia, not by the Democrats or Soros prosecutors, but by the Georgia Attorney General to go after a group that I've talked about here on this program for a long time, Treehouse Antifa.
And their assault in what they called the Stop Cop City activity.
But don't take it from me, because I want to play this clip in just a second from the Attorney General of Georgia.
61 Antifa militants and supporters have just been indicted in a sprawling RICO case.
Let's listen in.
As alleged in the indictment, members of Defend the Atlanta Forest flatly reject the rule of law and do not recognize governmental authority.
A sign reading, quote, you are now leaving the USA, end quote, was featured at the training site and also in social media and blog posts about the group.
Similar to the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, also known as the CHAZ, that was created and occupied by anarchists in 2020 in Seattle, Washington, we contend that members of Defend the Atlanta Forest unlawfully occupied the land in Atlanta where the training center is set to be built.
They lived illegally in and around the trees on this property for nearly two years.
In order to barricade the site, we assert that the defendants set sharp traps designed to injure anyone who might approach them, including law enforcement officers.
As further alleged in the indictment, The defendants used incendiary devices, such as Molotov cocktails, large mortar-style fireworks, and were in the process of constructing a rudimentary explosive device.
In one incident, we contend that members of Defend the Atlanta Forest trapped an unsuspecting civilian who'd approached the area and held him at gunpoint.
As alleged in the indictment, the Defend the Atlanta Forest is financially supported by the Network for Strong Communities.
While the Network for Strong Communities portrays itself as a legitimate, charitable, social justice organization, we contend that this group is operating several bank accounts, commingling funds from various causes, and raising money to establish and maintain the autonomous zone within the forest.
As a result, thousands of Good Faith donors gave millions of their own money to a certain charitable cause, and their funds instead were spent on ammunition, surveillance materials, and a drone, among other out-of-scope items.
Attorney General Chris Carr of Georgia.
This man is a hero.
Because this man is finally doing what needs to be done.
Finally someone is stepping up and actually filing RICO charges.
On Antifa.
Finally, someone actually has the stones and the cojones to do to the other side what is being done to ours.
But not, in this case, on false charges or false accusations.
Because we know the attack took place.
We know the Stop Cop City attack took place.
We know the attacks throughout Atlanta took place.
And in this case, he's gone through and he has specifically delineated how these cases were brought together, the racketeering, etc.
I mean, you have to listen and just read every word of this.
Based in Atlanta, this anarchist, anti-police, and environmental activism organization coordinates, advertises, and conducts, quote, direct action designed to prevent the construction of the Atlantic Police Public Safety Training Center and Shadowbox Studios and promote anarchist ideas.
This self-proclaimed direct action.
Again, I'm reading directly from the indictment.
includes vandalizing private property, arson, destruction of government property, attacks on utility workers, attacks on law enforcement, attacks on private citizens, and gun violence.
The purpose of these actions is to prevent the construction of the Atlanta Police Public Safety Training Center and a movie studio, all while promoting virulent anarchist ideals.
This goes in, there's even a history of anarchy.
Listen to this.
Anarchy is a philosophy that is opposed to forms of authority or hierarchy.
Beginnings of anarchist ideals date back centuries, though usage of the term anarchy did not exist until the 1800s.
Over time, various philosophical forms have emerged.
Numerous anarchist philosophies exist, though anarchists are not required.
And it goes through again and again and again talking about collectivism, talking about living in a collectivist society that individuals are expected to sacrifice for the whole.
Sacrifice your income.
Sacrifice your liberty.
Mutual aid is a term popularized by anarchists.
Again, I'm not reading from one of my books.
I'm not reading from my book on Antifa, Rise of the Black Flags.
You can get it at antifabook.com and Stories from Inside the Black Block.
This is from the indictment in Georgia.
Social solidarity.
Another term that the anarchists use.
They frequently use it as solidarity.
Their jargon.
Their writings.
They view violent acts as political acts.
They attempt to frame the government as violent oppressionists, thereby justifying their use of violence against police, against the government.
Indeed, the belief is that the government is engaging in a form of violence by denying individuals basic needs through capitalism, government action, and law enforcement.
And I've said this before, Antifa views our current system as fascism.
So they view police, The church, banks, financial institutions, all of these things, I'm not saying all those things are good, but I'm saying that any institution that upholds society or is a pillar of society is viewed as fascism by them.
And so when they say they are anti-fascist, they are actually saying they are anti-society, anti-civilization, because they believe in something called social fascism.
Social fascism and they walk through everything that was done there.
They have put their philosophy into action They go through the forest defenders.
They go through social media.
They go through online Online they go through accounts.
They have a social media accounts that are written out listen to this At one point during they go through and explain the BLM bat their background of the BLM riots and On July 4th, 2020, the autonomous zone that they built up after Rayshard Brooks' shooting death, when he attacked police officers, was set up.
And when a couple drove up to a barricade, A shotgun was pointed at them by BLM rioters and they were forced to turn around.
While they were turning around, a rifle was pointed at them by another zone occupant to ensure they left the area.
Minutes later, an innocent 8-year-old girl would be shot and killed by autonomous gang members of the autonomous zone.
Remember, this is in Atlanta.
A car occupied by eight-year-old Secoria Turner and her mother bypassed the Autonomous Zone checkpoint and gang members fired on the car, killing eight-year-old Secoria Turner.
In the 28 days that the Autonomous Zone existed in Atlanta, the occupants promoted violence centered around anti-police sentiments.
And Secoria Turner, that was a case that I absolutely raked Georgia officials, Republican and Democrat, over the coals with back in 2020.
Over the coals.
Because they don't seem to care about what was going on in their own background, backyard, at the time.
Well, it seems that in some cases, they've come to their senses at least, and are actually doing something about the Antifa infestation That is in their midst.
And you look through this entire, you look through this entire thing.
They liken it to Chaz.
They bring up, this indictment is so, it's 109 pages.
We've got to, I'm going to tweet this out, but we've got to get this up so everyone needs to read this thing.
They explained Chaz, they explained the sign reading, that they set up another autonomous zone inside the forest and they held up a sign.
This is what the Attorney General was referring to.
They held up a sign that said, you are now leaving the USA and you have entered what they call the Atlanta Forest Autonomous Zone.
And so what they've done, this is the newest in a long line of Antifa Zones, Antifa uprisings.
It almost goes back to the Ottomans of West Germany, where Antifa actually started.
Autonomous zones.
So they will declare this is their zone, and if you enter it, they can attack you, they can shoot you, they can kill you.
Finally, you have a government, and look, I got plenty of beef with the government of Georgia as it stands.
But when it comes to this, this is the type of action that needs to be taken against Antifa, against violent, militant leftist networks everywhere in the entire country.
And so I applaud the Attorney General of Georgia.
I applaud him.
I commend him.
Chris Carr is a hero.
The next thing he needs to do is get Fannie Willis to knock it off so that we can have a safe and secure election in Georgia.
But he at least needs to do what needs to be done against Antifa, go after them, go after every network, then secure our elections, secure our path forward.
- 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. - Someone else that we have to thank for their work is Julie Kelly, because Julie Kelly has been tirelessly covering these cases for the J6ers, We talked about this Liberty Safe situation.
Of course, we're going to dig in on that.
But there was a sentence that was held down, came down yesterday in Washington, D.C.
We were looking forward for the entire show.
It came down just after the show ended.
Julie Kelly, I wanted to bring you on to talk about this.
Enrique Tarrio, given the longest sentence ever, was it 22 years, right?
Correct.
The longest sentence so far in January.
They had asked for 33.
They had asked for 33, 22 years, and this was that same Tim Kelly that you warned us about, who's just this absolute old Bolshevik who's sitting up there in Washington, D.C.
Walk us through, how is it that, and I got to tell you that even for, you know, when talking about this case with Tanya Tay last night, And she saw the headlines and said, wait a minute, he wasn't even there and he got 22 years.
How is that even possible?
And she said, this seems like, this sounds like something that, you know, used to happen in the place that I used to live, right?
Where Tanya were coming from Eastern Europe, right?
That's the kind of thing that used to happen over there.
Now it's happening in the United States.
Yeah, my husband came home last night and he follows some of this stuff and we don't always share the same opinion on it, but he said, wait a second, one of these guys got 22 years and he wasn't even Washington, D.C.
I mean, I think that that's really the stunning revelation for most people.
But not only that, not only was he not in Washington, D.C., he didn't plan anything.
I mean, there was no assault on the Capitol perpetuated by the Proud Boys.
They didn't bring any weapon.
They didn't destroy government property outside of shaking a metal fence.
I mean, one of them, Dominic Pizzolo, was convicted of smashing a window.
But no one else did anything even close to that.
They didn't confront lawmakers.
They didn't hunt down Nancy Pelosi.
None of those things happened.
We're involved, organized and participated in what used to be a First Amendment protection, which is exercising political speech and conduct.
Now, of course, when that crosses the line, they should be charged and they should face the music.
But that's not what's been happening here, Jack.
I mean, you have four or five of these proud boys.
There's Enrique Tarrio, Ethan Nordin is probably in there somewhere, Joseph Biggs, convicted of this bogus seditious conspiracy count, which is a Civil War-era statute.
An American citizen has never been convicted of this until January 6th.
And the burden of proof is so low that, of course, it's easy to convince a D.C.
jury to convict on that count, which four or five of them did.
And they were also convicted of obstruction of an official proceeding and some other counts.
But what's really the outrage here, Jack, as you know, is Judge Tim Kelly consenting to the terror enhancement and sentencing.
And the terror, the act of terror, Judge Kelly said, was the shaking of a temporary black metal fence on Capitol grounds that day.
Now, there's only scant evidence that Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean were involved in this.
I posted this on my Twitter.
But how can Enrique Terrio be involved in destroying government property, shaking a fence, when he was in another state?
He wasn't even in the city that day.
This is the sort of outlandish, Banana Republic-style environment that January 6th defendants find themselves in in this D.C.
courthouse, where I was last week, by the way.
No, that's right, and we interviewed you from the Reagan Airport as you were on your way out.
The same airport, by the way, that Enrique Tara was picked up on when he was traveling to, he was planning to attend, but he didn't make it there.
Made it to the airport, didn't get out, there's some questions that he may have actually been In knowledge of the fact that they were waiting for him because he had this contact with a local police officer, etc.
And now that police officer has been charged as well, by the way, for even telling him that he had a warrant, which is amazing to me, by the way, that apparently the government can charge you with something and authorities of the government can't even tell you that you are facing charges because they're planning to snatch you up.
We've gotten so crazy, but Julie, what does it say to you that we do have, so I had Vivek Ramasamy on, on the day that Joe Biggs was convicted and sentenced, the day that he was sentenced, and he said that I would pardon all non-violent Jan Sixers.
What does it say to you that we have political candidates that, and he said it again, this is wrong, last night, he said it on Twitter.
What does it say to you that we now have candidates that are actually willing to say this but others that aren't?
I mean, I commended Vivek on Twitter today, that he is the only candidate who condemned what happened to Enrique Tarrio and the Proud Boys.
And you have two of our top, you know, our two top presidential contenders as of right now are in Florida, and one of them happens to be the governor of Florida.
Enrique Tarrio is a resident of Florida.
Joseph Biggs is a resident of Florida.
These are Ron DeSantis' constituents, and he still has an obligation Certainly has an obligation to defend his constituents against this retaliatory, vengeful, abusive Department of Justice.
But Ron DeSantis still has not specifically condemned DOJ for what they're doing to J6ers, even though Florida has the greatest number of January 6th defendants.
Whether it's someone like Enrique Tarrio, whether it's members of the Oath Keepers who also have been convicted and sentenced to excessive prison terms, or low level, I sat in the D.C.
courtroom last week when Judge Amit Mehta called 61-year-old grandmother Connie Meggs a terrorist.
Because she was convicted by a D.C.
jury of obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiring to obstruct.
I mean, these are constituents of Ron DeSantis's.
These are supporters of Donald Trump.
Why are they silent?
Yet someone like Vivek, who I think this is a reason why people are paying attention to him, whether he's giving it lip service or not, he is the only presidential candidate to come to the defense of these men and call out DOJ and these judges for what they're doing to them.
I give him a lot of credit for saying it because we didn't do any pre-screened questions or anything like that.
Even you knew.
I don't do that on here.
Sometimes we'll kind of chat about, hey, in general, do you want to get into this or that?
But there's no pre-screened questions and I wouldn't contend to an interview like that with a presidential candidate ever.
Right.
And so he faced it straight on and said he would do it.
And, you know, I don't know what his chances are for winning the presidency necessarily, but to have someone up there with that platform giving a voice to these men and women, I think, is admirable.
I think it's extremely admirable.
And the fact that the rest of the party won't do so.
In fact, at the same time, we're hearing Nikki Haley is now sort of the main contender when she's largely silent on January 6th.
Because I got to tell you, Julie, like, I was at Guantanamo Bay, okay?
I've seen actual terrorists up close.
I don't talk about it a lot, right?
You know, I'm not one of those guys who tries to run around being a professional veteran, doing that whole thing, oh I served, you didn't, whatever.
But okay, I've been up against real terrorists, I've seen what they look like, I've smelled them, I've been in their midst, whatever you want to say.
Those guys, people who had knowledge of 9-11, people who were on the battlefield in Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.
Okay, those are terrorists.
I was also there on January 6th.
Those people, this was a, you could say it was a riot.
There was elements of a riot that got out of hand.
There were other people, by the way, who were completely peaceful, who were completely walking around, had no idea what was going on.
And I remember saying at the time that there were also going to be people, the large majority of people, because there were no comms that day, who were walking up, had no idea what had preceded them because they were all the way at the back in incredibly long thousands, tens of thousands of line.
Then they get up.
They have no idea what's going on because there's no way to understand the context of what happened all the way up at the front, almost a mile away.
Julie, the same judge, by the way, is now the one that is trying Peter Navarro right now, as you and I speak, in the D.C. court court.
courtroom for refusing to speak to the January 6th Committee.
What do we need to do about these judges?
What do we need to do?
I was in Peter Navarro's pre-trial hearing last week with Amit Mehta, the same judge as I noted, who called Connie Meggs a terrorist, and of course he denied Peter Navarro's claims of executive privilege, and that's where he is right now with his trial commencing this week.
What can we do with these judges?
I don't know, Jack.
You know, I've recommended to House Republicans on numerous occasions, including after they won, how they should proceed, and I put impeach a few judges at the top of that list.
You're not going to have the guts to impeach a federal judge, which I think it's been decades since a federal judge has been impeached.
They do have congressional oversight.
They are the ones who are funding the D.C.
District Court, the D.C.
Circuit Court.
They are funding the D.C.
U.S.
Attorney's Office.
They are funding the Washington FBI Field Office.
The question is why?
Because between those three entities, the D.C.
U.S.
Attorney's Office, Washington Field Office, and D.C.
District Court, they have created what I call a judicial and legal circle of hell for January 6th defendants.
Whether it's Peter Navarro, whether it's Steve Bannon, whether it's Donald Trump himself, or now the 1,100 plus defendants.
Why are Republicans not just ignoring this, why do they continue to fund it?
I just, I have no explanation, I have no idea.
Julie, hold that.
Hold that thought.
We got a quick break.
We'll come right back.
We'll give you a chance to finish it.
Stay tuned.
When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, Jack Posobiec back here live at Human Events with Julie Kelly.
You know, now, Julie Kelly, you are very well known for your coverage of January 6th, but you also focused a couple of years ago, ran a deep investigation into an individual by the name of Pierre Omidyar.
In fact, you're one of the first people I know to really break this story about how this huge mega donor on the left.
And this was years ago when he was funding the Never Trump movement.
Now, Pierre Omidyar has resurfaced, and he seems to be leading this group in his funding.
The Omidyar Network is backing this group that has launched advertiser boycotts of Facebook and now embroiled in a war basically with Twitter, the new, you know, the rebranded X, which is run now by Elon Musk.
This is interesting, of course, because Pierre Omidyar was the founder of eBay.
eBay, of course, bought PayPal.
This kind of was Elon's first launch.
So walk us through the background.
Who is this Omidyar network and what role does he play on the left?
So Pierre Omidyar, actually, my very first book was on the Never Trump movement.
So I covered Pierre Omidyar extensively.
As you said, he is the co-founder of eBay, a billionaire several times over.
I believe he lives in Hawaii, or at least at the point I was reporting on him, he lived in Hawaii.
He is the man responsible for funding Bill Kristol, for example, and Evan McMullin and, you know, this, like, Republicans for Accountability and all these other shell groups.
I mean, he has numerous shell groups that are Never Trump organizations that he funds and then Pays these people to front those groups.
So it's no surprise, of course, that he is helping to go after free or, you know, more free social media platforms like Twitter and try to pull their funding.
I'm sure he has been involved in, say, the same efforts against people like Tucker Carlson and Fox News.
So, you know, he's a foreign-born billionaire, which seems to be a chronic problem in this country, where people who weren't born here, who nonetheless made their fortune off Americans, hate America and want to change our way of life.
And Pierre Omidyar, Certainly is one of those individuals.
He's got a whole fund, I believe it's called the Democracy Fund, where they started in 2017 donating over $100 million to a lot of these Never Trump groups or groups tied to them.
I believe they fund the Brennan Center of Justice.
They were involved in a lot of these groups that also portrait not just Never Trump, but as legitimate organizations to filter out alleged misinformation.
And this is what they were doing.
And that is exactly right, because this is exactly what they were doing when it comes to, and you can find the ADL and the same guy, Jonathan Greenblatt, who's this former Obama staffer, is now coming up saying, oh, we're so thankful for the Omidyar network.
We're so thankful for their seed money here.
and then you can go through the list.
And a lot of people seem to think that Elon is only going up against the ADL, but no, it's this entire coalition.
And you go through the list and every single one of them, or at least every single one of the major names of them, has received funding from these major dark money groups like the Omidyar Network.
And so what we're seeing, Julie, it seems as though these groups are really lending the legitimacy of their institutional name, their institutional credibility, to these efforts of these dark money groups and billionaires like Omidyar that have nothing to do with what the organization claims that they're doing.
This is actually, by the way, the same type of money laundering that Antifa is now being charged with down in Georgia.
Right.
So this is what Omidyar does.
So he starts, you know, the Democracy Fund, or Protect Democracy, or Principles First.
That's another organization, you know, the Heath Mayo and his group, Principles First, and it's tied to Evan McMullin and all those Never Trumpers, Michael Steele, Bill Kristol, etc.
So he gives them these grand names.
There's Omidyar right there.
Uh, to portray that he's actually defending democracy and free speech, et cetera, when he's actually trying to systematically destroy it and destroy the political opposition of the left.
He is extremely wealthy.
He stays behind the scenes, which is why he has not gotten a lot of criticism for his activity really since 2016.
So I'm glad to see some pressure and heat on him.
Uh, but he's a very dangerous man.
Like a lot of these billionaires are working, uh, you know, behind the scenes and now in front.
To really change our public dialogue and to punish platforms that want to give equal access to a multitude of voices in this country and not just the beliefs of people like Pierre Omidyar.
So do you think, you know, just based on your background there, do you think there could be some lingering bad blood from the eBay, PayPal era?
This fact that these guys go back almost 25 years, this huge relationship, you know, does he think maybe, oh, I've created a monster or something like that?
And, you know, that's just your assessment I'm asking for there.
I know that you obviously can't know the specifics.
But it seems that the the background between the two of them could certainly be leading towards an angle here.
It could.
I'm not as familiar with that background as I am just his efforts really since 2016.
But you'll recall one of the organizations that he funds, and I'm sorry I can't think of the name of it because I'm like in another space right now, But he helped with this front organization that would determine that certain tweets or collection of tweets were Russian disinformation.
Remember when… It was on Hamilton, Hamilton 68.
Thank you very much.
I should remember that.
I appreciate it.
Yes, so he funds Hamilton 68.
Yes, Hamilton 68.
So, remember when the whole Nunes memo was coming out in 2018 and there was a hashtag?
Hamilton68 came out immediately and said that that was a Russian disinformation operation.
That Devin Nunes was doing the dirty work of, you know, Vladimir Putin picking up on, you know, Russiagate.
They were instrumental in allegedly tagging tweets and accounts and groups of accounts that were tied to the Russians.
Of course, it was a total hoax.
Well, it was.
No, I remember this one because and the reason I remember Hamilton 68 is because I was on the top of the list.
They said it was hashtag release the memo.
It was 2018.
And they said Jack Pasovic was the top of the list.
It's Russian bots.
And I looked and I said, I don't have any bots.
There's no bots here.
There's none of this.
Julie, we're just about out of time.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate you taking the audible on.
Go back to your old Omidyar reporting.
I see you are still as fresh as ever, even though I know that was five and six years ago when you when you did that book.
But it seems that He has resurfaced again, so maybe it's time for a full book on the Midiar Network, working with your reporting.
Tell us, where can people go to follow you and get all the latest on the January 6th defendants and everything else you're doing?
Well, Jack, as always, thanks for having me on, always covering my work.
You've been, you were like one of my first major supporters of my work, so I'm always grateful.
My substack is declassified with Julie Kelly.
I'm on Twitter, Julie underscore Kelly 2, and true social, Julie underscore Kelly.
