This is Human Events with your host Jack Posobiec.
Deliver us from evil!
The Middle East region is quieter today.
The rapidly intensifying conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants roared into a second day Sunday.
The new fears the surprise attack could spark an even wider Middle East war.
Quieter today than it has been in two decades.
Hamas is a proxy for Iran.
What is infuriating is this attack was paid for by billions of dollars that Joe Biden sent to Iran.
Quieter today.
Quieter today.
Then it has been in two decades.
Any targeting of innocent civilians without warning will be met by executing one of the hostages in our custody and we will be forced Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live from Washington, D.C.
Today is October 9th, 2023.
Anno Domini.
As now many of you know, massive Paramilitary and terrorist attacks struck just outside the Gaza Strip in Israel over the weekend.
These attacks were conducted largely by Hamas, which is a paramilitary terrorist group that controls the Gaza Strip.
I want to throw up a map now, if we can show this everyone.
So here's a regional representation.
First, just give you a basic understanding of the area.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, all at play in the area.
Now guys, let's zoom in a little bit more.
Okay, so there's Israel, there's the Gaza Strip, which is along the Mediterranean Sea, and then there's the West Bank.
So these are the two main areas that are controlled by the Palestinians within the state of Israel.
They are quasi-autonomous zones within the Israeli state.
The attacks took place just outside of the Gaza Strip.
We're told now, and you heard the video, Just a moment ago that as of the latest Hamas has Announced that they are about to start executing hostages one by one on television live For and they claim for every airstrike that Israel can that Israel's conducts on the city of Gaza We now know that multiple Americans were taken.
We don't know exactly how many yet, but American hostages, according to Israel's Minister for Strategic Affairs, Hostages taken by Hamas during the assault on Israel from Gaza include U.S.
citizens.
We don't know how many just yet.
We're told also, and we've got images coming out of Gaza that look like the shades of Dresden.
This is strategic bombing that Israel is conducting.
We're also seeing numbers roll out of this terrorist attack.
Hundreds of them took place at a A rave, a music festival that was being held at the desert and in fact this very spot of the desert not too far from one of the southern highways in Israel is actually just about 20 minutes away from where I was with my entire family when we visited Israel last year when we were making our way to visit the Dead Sea.
This is an area That's largely desert as you can see from any of the footage that's come out.
This is a pretty remote area and what Hamas did was first attack all the cars so that people couldn't flee so that even when they got out of the festival when they ran to their cars they found their cars had already been damaged and were inoperable and so they had to flee and hide in the desert.
Then Hamas went one by one Killing civilians, taking many women, young women, girls in their 20s hostage, throwing them sometimes on the back of trucks, on the back of motorcycles.
It's an absolutely horrific attack.
What does this mean for us?
What does this mean for geopolitics?
What should America's priorities be?
Because remember, we must put the interests of the American people first.
Always.
That doesn't mean we count out our allies.
Stay tuned.
Human Events continues.

We've also got a huge announcement coming up with My Patriot Supply, but I can't tell you about it yet because we're not prepared to yet, but stay tuned.
It'll be coming probably later this week.
I want to bring in our next guest here, Lt.
Col.
Tony Schaefer, but Tony, I just have to say that for the Americans watching this, this is inextricably linked to something that you and I have been talking about here for almost a year now on the program.
The Ukraine war, the fact that America has gone all in on this, has become bogged down in Ukraine, At one point was taking artillery shells that had been earmarked for Israel just earlier this year because we couldn't manufacture them fast enough.
So we took our artillery shells that were earmarked for Israel.
That was a deal that they were expecting from us.
We took them and guess what?
We took the artillery shells that were in order for Israel.
We sent them to Ukraine.
Now you've got a situation where Iran has become so incredibly strengthened in terms of their position because of this war with Ukraine, where Iran has become just indispensable to the Russians in terms of their drone manufacturing capability.
And then, you also have the situation where Biden's giving $6 billion to Iran, this money easily used, they're flush with cash, it's going directly to Hamas.
And secondly, just at the point where Israel and Saudi Arabia were sitting down and talking diplomatic recognition, exchange of diplomats and ambassadors for the first time ever, then Hamas comes up to blow up the entire peace process.
Tony, how has the Biden administration gotten us to this point?
Well, first off, Jake Sullivan and the entire team are like A high school model United Nations team in the way they look at the world and implement policy.
They're completely out of their league.
They believe somehow being nice and getting people to talk together and interlock is going to be the solution.
Jack, you and I both know that's not the case.
Some of these grievances go back to the end of the Ottoman Empire, but even further than that, just the way the borders have been drawn up, the issues between the Sunni and Shia, which you were just alluding to regarding this agreement with Saudi, which I'll talk about in a second.
But because of their completely feckless policy, combined with the idea that hostage-taking works, going back to the Obama administration, where multiple hostages were taken and Obama gave in to include one when they were trying to negotiate the joint agreed-upon framework for the nuclear deal.
The Iranians grabbed some Navy sailors in international water and they gave in.
So this failure, By the way, just one other quick thing, the intelligence failure.
Apparently the intelligence going to Ukraine and others by CIA and DOD completely took their eye off the Middle East because not only were the Israelis completely blindsided by this, so was U.S.
intelligence.
U.S.
intelligence had no idea this was going on, arguably because the resources that would have been available to monitor Hamas and the Iranians have been focused elsewhere.
So it's a multi-tiered failure.
Well, and I would also say, just on that note, by the way, Tony, that it's clear to me that, and we know that Mossad had been working to flip informants within Hamas.
A lot of Hamas leadership is sitting there in Qatar.
They've been directly focused on this.
And we've been hearing reports that there were these informers, these double agents that were coming out of Hamas that were providing information to Mossad.
And it's very clear at this point that that was a part of a disinformation campaign that Hamas and their backers were running on Mossad and the IDF.
Obviously the dysfunction in Israeli politics right now, the dust-up between Netanyahu and the other parties there in Israel, is leading to a huge level of dysfunction within Israeli politics.
And it seems as though, and keep in mind that the candidate he ran against was an IDF-backed Candidate his main rival so you're seeing this rivalry play out the split in their politics Which I think has unfortunately led to the degradation of Israeli security Absolutely.
And ours as well, because again, we're not in this game to any great degree.
We would have otherwise been able to act and either advise or prevent this from happening, and we didn't.
And as you pointed it out, it's been reported now we have Americans who have been murdered and are now hostages, so we have skin in the game.
We should have always been ahead of the curve.
We weren't.
And this is... Hamas and the Iranians have been brilliant.
Simply brilliant.
And they're understanding because of your point.
They were sending what we call dangles.
People... basically those offering themselves up to say, I'm a double agent, I'm willing to work for you.
And they're basically feeding false information.
See, I learned a very hard lesson on this.
It's in the movie Zero Dark Thirty.
Camp Chapman, Chapman Fire Base, where a guy was pretending to be a walk-in, blew himself up, killed the CIA Station Chief in Afghanistan.
Apparently we haven't learned our lessons because this was going on.
We did it during World War II via an operation called Garbo as part of Operation Bodyguard, feeding false information to the Germans to deceive them regarding the location of the D-Day invasion.
So clearly someone has studied their tradecraft, Jack, and it wasn't us.
Well, beyond that though, because of the fissures within politics, both with the Israelis internally as well as here, I think all the bad guys understand that.
And the weakness that has been demonstrated serially by Joe Biden, the failure in Afghanistan, the failure to do anything to hold China accountable for their wrongdoing and threatening of Taiwan, the continued basically giving in to anybody and everything Encouraging Russia to invade because there was no sense of strength, and sure enough, Putin gambled and won.
Nobody takes Joe Biden seriously, and therefore, no one is going to be willing to believe anything relating to deterrence, which Trump was big on.
It was the deterrence of Trump, I would argue, that helped keep things safe during his presidency.
That lack of deterrence has resulted in all of these events happening very rapidly.
This is the way I've defined Trump's style of deterrence.
The Trump Doctrine, peace through savagery.
Peace through savagery.
Constant threats.
Occasional assassinations and frequent peace deals.
You need all three to achieve strategic and credible deterrence, and Trump had that.
Every once in a while, he would go and schwack somebody, okay?
You can't just be paying people off.
You have to actually show that you're willing to use resolve.
But at the same time, you notice he always targeted leadership.
He always targeted someone who was at the head of something.
This wasn't indiscriminate killing.
This wasn't the mass bombing and civilians.
It wasn't strategic bombing.
It wasn't the stuff that we're seeing.
It was direct.
It was targeted.
And then he came in and said, look, We can continue down that road or we could sign this piece of paper.
Which would you rather have?
That's how you got the Abraham Accords.
This is also the opposite of this policy has led to the destruction that we're seeing now.
But Tony, I want to be clear.
What is the best role for America now in this process?
The war is broken out.
War is taking place.
Something like over a thousand Israelis have been killed.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed at this point.
What should America's role be?
Well, America should focus on America's values and interests.
Clearly, we have, as I mentioned, skin in the game.
It's very clear that Americans were targeted and murdered, that now some of them are now hostages.
The Biden administration, especially Tony Blinken, needs to step away from putting together rock and roll bands for peace and actually doing something necessary to rally our allies to this point.
The other thing I would argue, the timing indicates to me, is as you point out, the Israelis were about to sign a historic peace agreement with the Sunni, with the Saudi Arabians.
That was something Iran could not permit because obviously a strengthened Arab community with the Israelis going against Iran and the Shia was not something they would accept.
That's one of the reasons they did this.
And the Biden administration enabled that.
They enabled that because they want to resurrect a strong relationship with the Iranians, with the mullahs, because they've wanted to do that since Zineb Brzezinski in 1976.
Just saying, this is not new for the Democrats.
And more importantly, they've alienated our allies and weakened the Israeli ability to act independently.
And that's the thing that the Americans need to do, is step out of the way.
Let the Israelis go back to doing what they do very well, is defending themselves and their equities.
We should not be involved, boots on the ground, happy to help, happy to advise, happy to provide them weapons as they need it.
But it's their job, the Israelis' job, to go take care of business in their backyard.
Well, how about step one?
Step one, you come up and say you re-freeze the Iranian assets.
If we've got a crumb of evidence, if we've got a crumb of evidence that says Iran had anything to play with this, or we're even worried about it, just go re-freeze them.
It'll take two seconds.
You don't need evidence.
Just do it.
You don't need evidence.
Until the dust settles, say, this is frozen.
What a joke.
Hamas has already said that they did it.
It's like, Hamas has said, hey, the Iranians helped us do this.
Well, I would accept that at face value and act accordingly.
Yeah.
And then the other thing I would do is defund the Palestinian Authority.
Right when Biden rolled in, he enriched the Palestinian Authority, which is completely subordinated to Hamas.
Palestinian Authority is supposed to be the political organization that oversees the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
And come on, come on.
We all know that that money we send there actually enriches Hamas.
So shut that off as well.
Trump had done that.
Biden turned it back on.
Again, all roads lead back to Biden's failures here regarding why this happened.
Alright, stay tuned, folks.
We're coming back.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer walking us through this horrific situation.
War breaking out 50 years after the Yom Kippur War.

We're back here at Tony Schaffer.
So I'm also seeing reports, now walk me through this, I just saw a report that there's another Hamas spokesman that's saying that Hamas is open to truce or an armistice or a ceasefire.
What's the play there?
What does this mean?
What are we talking about?
Obviously, and just to be clear to everybody out there, The bombing campaign that Israel is conducting on Gaza right now is incredibly significant.
We're seeing, and this is a highly densely populated area, two million people live inside this tiny... Israel, the state of Israel itself is only about the size of New Jersey and yet the density is so much higher in these cities.
You've got millions and millions of people.
It's only about 50 miles across from Tel Aviv to Jordan at that Because they're losing and they're going to lose worse than I think they expected.
they're still very dense.
And so Hamas calling for this obviously.
And to be clear, there's women, there's children, there's civilians that are caught in the middle of this.
Israel says they want to target Hamas, says they want to get rid of their leadership.
Tony, what's the play?
Why is Hamas calling for a truce now? - Because they're losing and they're going to lose worse than I think they expected.
What they were counting on, Jack, is grabbing those hostages and using them to leverage a restraint response by the Israelis.
Well, it didn't happen.
It's not going to happen.
Well, I think the Israelis, I don't know this for a fact, but I suspect the Israelis are working very diligently to try to find out where those hostages are, to try to rescue them, incidental to their upcoming combat operations.
But they're not going to stop combat operations.
And to your point, this is a very densely populated area.
Two million people in a very small side.
And let me just point out something here.
The Oslo II Accords from 1995, it was signed by the Israelis and the Palestinians, said that if you live in peace, everybody's going to get along just fine.
And that was the idea.
Well, that idea is long gone, and therefore the Israelis now are going to be prepared to go in using massive firepower.
This loss to the Israelis, Jack, was as significant, if not more than significant, than us during the 9-11 attacks.
This came at the end of what they call the Yom Kippur, on the day of Shimchat Torah.
I hope I'm getting that right.
Yeah, and so this was all things that were planned by the bad guys.
Let me say one other point that pertains to us.
This should remove any argument against the Second Amendment.
It is this very attack that happened because gun control is implemented to the level of progressive interest in Israel.
That is to say, most civilians don't have guns.
And therefore, that was a known factor by the Hamas terrorists.
And that's why, Jack, they went house to house with impunity, murdering families.
Even a handful of houses Having a couple of ARs, every other house, would have prevented 90% of the loss of life because Hamas would have had to suffer a consequence to their attack.
And they didn't, because Hamas knew that the Israeli civilians are unarmed, and they took full advantage of that.
Right, and by the way, just to be clear, we're in the fog of war, so I'm also seeing some reports saying that, you know, there is this open to truce report, but if you go and look at Gaza Media, they're talking about the rocket fire towards Ashkelon, airstrikes currently targeting Rafah, and so the point being is that they don't seem like they're talking about truce very much on, if you watch Palestinian TV right now.
They're essentially trying to buy time.
So, Tony, let me ask you this.
We see these wars blow up, but let's go into the geopolitical situation here, because isn't this deconstruction of the world order, the fourth turning, as I've referred to it and others, the churn, the position that we're in, Doesn't it also kind of become a self-fulfilling prophecy?
Because at some point, if we just continue escalating, continue escalating, then isn't it just going to create more of the same thing?
Essentially what I'm talking about is how we got into Afghanistan for 20 years, what led us down the wrong path in Iraq.
And what President Trump always said was we can find ways to get to peace deals where things like this don't happen.
And so I really don't wanna get away from linking the outbreak of this to the war in Ukraine, and really to the far left, to the Never Trump movement that fought against him so hard that had the war in Ukraine not happened, you would not to the Never Trump movement that fought against him so hard that had the war in Ukraine not happened, you would not be seeing this outbreak, at So Trump was a master of understanding what I call enlightened self-interest.
Jack, every nation has their own self-interest.
That interest does not change because the World Economic Forum has an opinion or Joe Biden wants to have Jake Sullivan talk In glowing flowery terms about trying to seek Middle East peace, you have to manage expectations and their perception of reality.
That's what Trump did.
He was a brutal realist.
And until our side figures out how to be brutally real, that is to say, I'm a reggae guy.
I believe that you should always be open to negotiation, but be prepared to use overwhelming and effective firepower to make your point.
And Trump got that.
And I think that by the lack of having this clarity within the current administration, All deterrents have failed.
They're going to fail.
No matter what this administration does, to your point, tries to take all these actions, sends military equipment here, goes and visits here, it's going to be completely ineffective because the bad guys have got Joe Biden's number.
Joe Biden's number is coming up snake eyes.
He's lost every bet.
He's going to continue to lose every bet.
And by him doing that, the potential for expanded and continuous global conflict is inevitable at this point.
The big thing now is to try to minimize our losses until 2024 and 2025, really the inauguration, where we hope to have a new president who understands the very things you and I are talking about here, because it's clear that Joe Biden, Barack Obama's proxy for the current administration, is not willing to do anything to protect America's interests, American people, or the interests of our allies.
It's all going to be going to the Chinese, advantage China, advantage Russia, Because at this point, there's nothing in the West preventing them from continuing to dominate the global sphere of foreign policy.
I want people to take what Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schafer says to heart there.
The possibility for the outbreak of global war is now increasingly likely.
Okay, this is Mearsheimer's warning.
We are living through the reality of Mearsheimer's warning.
He told us that if we continue to escalate in areas around the world, that it will cause pockets of resistance to blow up in other parts of the world.
Why?
Because we never choose de-escalation.
It's always escalate, escalate, escalate.
Then you throw money at problems.
You never deal with it.
Meanwhile, here in our own country, oh by the way, we've got a border that's, you think the IDF got caught with their pants down at the Gaza border?
Look at our border!
We've got thousands of people coming across, we have no idea who they are, we have no clue who's sending sleeper cells on a regular basis across that border, and oh by the way, today is Columbus Day by the way, and I celebrate Columbus for founding And discovering the United States and kicking off the founding of the United States of America.
Listen to the words though.
They call Israeli settlers colonizers.
You've got Palestinian supporters running around saying this is the proper response to colonization.
Well, what do they do here in the United States?
They call Westerners, they call Europeans, specifically white Christian males, colonizers.
And they say the exact same term.
Why do you think they're using that term?
They're using that term because they want to prime their people, their radicals, whether it's BLM, whether it's Antifa, whether it's Sleeper Cells, whoever, because they know 2024 is coming.
And so the catchphrase is going to be, rise up against the colonizers.
And oh look, they're doing the exact same thing right now in Israel.
No doubt, Jack, and that's the issue, is how do we now prepare our own space?
We have to support the Israelis, plus our citizens are there involved in this.
There's many dual citizens.
I see it tragic that I saw that a young German girl, dual citizen, was murdered attending the peace conference.
They drug her body through the streets naked.
We are dealing with animals, and until we understand we're dealing with animals who must be dealt with with with impunity, then we're going to potentially lose.
We have to get our mind around the fact that Jackson people hate us.
Last minute here.
Do you think that Israel will allow Gaza to continue self-rule after this?
No, I don't.
I think it's all over.
I think the Oslo II Accords are done.
I think it indicates now that the Israelis, Jack, have given them multiple opportunities.
Remember the suicide bombers a few years ago?
We were coming through checkpoints.
They had to put up the wall.
They keep coming over the wall, Jack.
They keep deciding that they're going to try to destroy Israel.
And it's what they say.
They say that they will never accept an Israeli state.
Okay, let's accept that as the premise they have to deal with and execute.
So if you have neighbors who have decided, I'm going to kill you no matter what, I think you have the right of preservation to stop that neighbor from trying to destroy you.
And the only way to do that is, essentially, I just say at this point, preventing that neighbor from ever having any potential power to use against you.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, where can people go to follow your updates, to follow your analysis of the situation?
Projectsentinel.com and .net, and then obviously Twitter.
You and I are both on Twitter.
We always say interesting things.
I'm sure people will always be interested in hearing what we have to say, especially about this current set of issues.
So thanks, Jack, for having me.
God bless Tony.
Look, and I'll just say this as well as what you said.
Those images of the women being raped, the women being carted off naked, that elicits a response.
A response in men and a response in women.
A primal response.
A deep response.
And that response is going to receive a reaction. - Hear about the boring people at your office.
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec. - All right, Jack Posobiec back here, live human events daily.
We're going to continue to monitor the situation as more and more bodies are even being found to this point.
It seems as though these settlements, some of them, people need to understand, this is the desert outside of the Gaza Strip.
It's very remote.
There's only a few roads in and around this spot, and given the fact that there's been fighting going on, some of the settlements are only just now being reached.
And on some of these kibbutzes,
Which are essentially just Israeli settlements farms that were put out in the desert Getting reports now that as many as a hundred bodies are being found on just one kibbutz outside of the Gaza Strip and so Unfortunately, it looks like those numbers of the amount killed just on the initial day of the the raid on October 7th Are going to continue to increase and may increase exponentially as more and more of these settlements are found but folks
We do also, in the midst of all of this, need to focus on getting our government right.
If you want to solve these problems, if you want to help the people facing persecution from J6, if you want to get our foreign policy straightened out, people come to me all the time and say, how do we solve this?
How do we solve this?
How do we solve this?
How about this?
Fix our elections first, get the right people in office, understand that they've changed our system from a system of votes to a system of ballots, and then we'll have the ability to fight back.
The one man who's been the champion of this across the entire country is Mr. Scott Pressler, and he joins us today for a Scott Pressler Field Update.
Scott, how are you?
I'm good, Jack.
Thanks for having me back.
And now, Scott, so where are you right now?
You're always somewhere else when I have you on.
Well, I actually voted early in person today in Virginia.
Okay, back home.
So I locked in my vote for our Republican candidates today.
Oh, that's excellent.
Now, I just spent the last weekend in Pennsylvania.
I spoke at an event all the way up in Greeley, PA.
Pike County.
That's the one county of Pennsylvania that borders both New Jersey and New York State.
And this is the Poconos.
Absolutely gorgeous part of the year.
This time of year, of course.
And, you know, great place for skiing later in the winter.
Scott, are you headed up to Pennsylvania?
I am.
I'll be traveling everywhere from Allegheny to Erie to Washington to Penn State University because the last day to register to vote in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the 23rd of October.
And then I'll even be going to the Poconos, Lackawanna, and down to the belly of the beast going to Philadelphia, Chester, Montgomery.
So we are going to be crisscrossing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to elect Judge Carolyn Carluccio to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on November 7th.
People need to understand, too, that these elections in the off, people call them the off-year elections, but what it really is, it's a year in these odd-year elections where we have the ability to start testing new programs.
You know, I keep saying it's the three boxes.
You need to focus on the three boxes.
The mailbox, the drop box, the ballot box.
Scott, how are you encouraging people to focus on the boxes, focus on early voting?
Well, for example, the next election upcoming is this next Saturday, the 14th in the state of Louisiana.
Jeff Landry has been endorsed by President Trump and the Louisiana GOP.
He is our candidate.
And so in part, I've been asking people to change up the way that they vote and vote early in person for reasons because it's an election in October.
It's on a Saturday and it's also during When LSU was playing football versus Auburn.
And for all of those reasons, I've been encouraging people to vote early in person, try something new, and if and when we're successful this year, we can use 2023 as a guinea pig test for 2024.
Now, I'm in Virginia.
I just told you that I voted early in person.
Well, Governor Glenn Youngkin, who was elected in an off year in 2021, he himself is encouraging Early in person voting vote by mail.
And from the returns that we're seeing by vote by mail, Appalachia and Western Virginia, we've seen that their mail returns are in the upwards of 30 to 40%.
And those are diehard Republican counties.
So I think that the voter is really understanding the importance of an all of the above approach to voting.
Well, I think this is key.
And I got to tell you, Scott, that when I spoke at that event, I laid out the three box strategy in Pennsylvania.
And there's a lot of people who tell me, and I get it online every time I talk about it.
I know when you talk about early vote action, you get the same response.
You say, Oh, I don't like this.
I want to go one person, one vote.
That's how it should go.
Voting on election day in person.
That's the, that's the, you know, the tradition.
That's our, that's our, you know, our, our former, you know, sort of it's, The reason that I like in-person voting, right?
The reason that it's great is that it's a civic ritual.
It is a ritual, right?
The community coming together to choose a leader.
It's something that harkens back to the greatest days of America.
But unfortunately, the left, like they do in so many other areas of American society, have destroyed our civic bonds, have turned us into this low-trust society, have flooded us with people from foreigners that have no conception of what America used to be like.
And so, We currently have to operate with the system as it is before we can ever get back to the system that we want.
Anyway, it's a long-winded way of saying, when I brought that out, Scott, the entire place erupted when I said that.
Because I know it's always a little sensitive when I get into that question.
This response was unanimous.
And I think, quite frankly, that especially in a state like Pennsylvania, when they saw what happened to Mastriano, when they saw what happened to Definitely.
Well, it's interesting.
that Eddie Munster of, you know, kind of creature like John Fetterman or Herman Munster, I say Herman Munster kind of creature like John Fetterman representing them in the United States Senate that, OK, suddenly people are saying, look, we want to win and then we can set priorities.
Are you getting that same kind of response now?
Or is it do you see a shift at all changing?
Definitely.
Well, it's interesting in Pennsylvania.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Fact check me.
They have a potential 50 days of early voting five zero that they could send out meal and ballots.
But the fascinating thing is in Allegheny County, which is Pittsburgh, which is the second largest county in the entire Commonwealth, they only are now, on this upcoming today, sending out mail-in ballots.
And is that because the Democratic Party is incompetent?
Is it because they've let the ball go?
I'm not quite sure, but the fact of the matter is Democrats will have less time in this election doing mail-in ballots than they have in previous elections.
And so, we have a real opportunity, guys, in Pennsylvania.
I would not be spending a month of my time, I would not be traveling in a car filled with snacks across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania if I didn't believe that we could elect Joe Rockey as Allegheny County Executive.
If I didn't believe that we could elect Judge Carolyn Carluccio to the Pennsylvania Supreme And again, today is the last day in Mississippi to register to vote.
Tomorrow in Kentucky is the deadline to register to vote for that gubernatorial election for Daniel Cameron for governor.
I need everybody to be swimming in the same direction.
Yes, it's awful we don't have a Speaker of the House right now, but we understand why.
Yes, it's awful what's happening Yes, it's awful what's happening in Ukraine, but the fact of the matter is we have learned that elections have consequences.
And if you want to stop Joe Biden next year, if you want to stop the Democrats from being emboldened, then I need you to come out this November 7th and vote in Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Exactly right.
So I would say basically what you said about Pennsylvania, sometimes it can change, vary on the county, and as you say, when the county actually gets the ballots out.
So that's why potentially about 50 days is right.
So the way it works in Pennsylvania is you request an absentee ballot, you have about four to six weeks of a window where you can request that, then that shuts off, but another window is open for the return of those ballots that extends down and then it ends on election day or ends just before election day off the top of my head.
And when you put all of that together in terms of both of those windows, it is essentially a 50 day period.
That's huge.
There's no excuse for anyone to not utilize that if you're in a state where that's in there.
And I'll say this, look, when I was in the military, voting by absentee for Pennsylvania was great because who knows where I was going to be anywhere in the world if I was in In East Asia, when I was at Guantanamo Bay, when I was at any part of the world that I was in.
Easy.
Done.
Didn't have to worry about it.
And I made sure that my vote counted.
And I make sure that all of my family does as well.
Scott, when we get back, we're going to take a quick break.
But if you can hold over, I want to talk to you about this automatic voter registration in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
A lot of people have been against it.
President Trump's made some comments, but you've got a different take on it.
And I want to get that to everybody.
Stay tuned, folks.
Scott Pressler talking to us about how we can win elections to take back our country.
And as they say, it doesn't matter if you don't win.
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, Jack Posobiec here.
We're talking with Scott Pressler, but we're also monitoring the situation between Israel and Gaza, now potentially a northern front.
We've just seen videos over the break where, I'm looking at this, Hezbollah has just released a video saying, Israel, we're coming.
So Hezbollah, the paramilitary terrorist organization operating out of Really?
You don't care about DAs and judges?
Because I think we found out the DAs and judges are a little bit important recently.
Absolutely horrific.
This just shows the need to make sure that we get engaged on a civic level with understanding who our representatives are at every level.
And people will say, what about those off-year elections?
I don't care about those off-year elections.
Really?
You don't care about DAs and judges?
Because I think we found out the DAs and judges are a little bit important recently.
Isn't that right, Scott?
That's right.
Well, in Pennsylvania alone, we have a Supreme Court race and we have Commonwealth Court and we have two other statewide judicial candidates.
So this is going to be a consequential election, what happens on Tuesday, November 7th.
So Scott, there was this new bill that's been pushed by Governor Shapiro, this new act, where essentially he's created automatic registration for Pennsylvanians.
Now, what I understand is that this is basically motor voter on steroids.
Motor voter was The option to register for voting when you sign up for your driver's license, but now he's taking that a step further, and that was national, that was pushed by Clinton in the 90s, but now there's a new step that Josh Shapiro is taking, that absolute douchebag out of Montgomery County, who's now sitting in the governor's office, rocked by, embroiled by the way, in a sexual harassment scandal where he forced female staffers to work with someone who was sexually harassing them, Mike Vareb, who's a complete lush,
Also out of Montgomery County, by the way.
Believe me, I can tell you stories about him.
But he forced these female staffers to work with him even after he knew that he was sexually harassing them.
So that just goes to show you who Josh Shapiro is because he didn't want the scandal to burst on him.
But Scott, I could go on and on about Governor Shapiro and my personal animosity towards him.
However, you have a different take On this automatic voter registration situation in PA.
Let's hear it.
Well, I know that people were freaking out about AVR, but I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing.
You know, if we look at the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for example, there are 67 counties.
Out of those 67 counties, 51 of them have more registered 18 to 24 year old Gen Z Republican voters.
So the fact of the matter is, ABR might actually end up helping Republicans, and I'll get data on Pennsylvania tomorrow, but I can tell you that in the first full week of ABR being implemented in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we still saw Republicans have a net gain of 600 more registered Republicans than Democrats statewide.
But, you know, there's one thing I really do want to touch on in the limited time that I have with you, And that a lot of people are saying, Scott, you know, we can't win Pennsylvania, especially with ADR, whatever.
If you look at 2020, the fact of the matter, and I use this word loosely, Joe Biden won, quote unquote, the election in Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes.
If you look at the numbers, there are 80,000 Amish in Pennsylvania.
There are 80,000 truckers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
And there are 930,000 hunters in Pennsylvania.
And I know based on Wisconsin data that 40% of Wisconsin hunters are not registered to vote.
What percentage of those 930,000 need to be registered to vote and need to either get a mail-in ballot in their hands or get them to vote early or on election day in 2024?
Basically, the moral of the story is I want everyone listening right now to Human Events, to Jack Pasovic and myself to know That Pennsylvania is winnable and we are working on a multi-pronged approach to get these people registered and get them out to vote in 2024.
No, Scott, I would be remiss if I didn't listen to my mother who just sent me in a message over the break.
She says, Jack, you've got to tell Scott to promote his app.
It's so easy.
It's so good.
She also says that you've got a Facebook page for Pennsylvania Republicans that she's on that she really likes.
So, Scott, my mom says you got to plug the app more.
Let's hear it.
I love it.
Well, hi Ma.
And yes, my application is called Early Vote Action.
It is downloadable on both iPhone and Android.
And what it does is if you click in the top left-hand corner on the three arrows, you click on knock on doors, you click on voters near me, you at home will have access to every registered Republican within a mile radius of your current location.
So if you're in Allegheny, you can use this.
If you're in the Poconos in Monroe, you can use this based on your current location and help get out the vote for Judge Carolyn Coluccio, as well as our other candidates.
And so this is a powerful tool that you're not talking to John Fetterman, you're not talking to Joe Biden, you're simply reminding Republicans to get out and vote this November for all of our candidates.
Well, there you go.
And, Mom, just for the record, by the way, we've had it at the bottom on Scott's lower third the entire time we're here.
Producer 5 said, don't worry, Mrs. Poso, we're going to get that up the entire time for Scott, because we want everyone to go to crash his website, crash early vote action.
I don't want anyone to even be able to get into it.
It would be that hard to get in there, like me this weekend when I was trying to use the Bing AI generator, because it's kind of funny, by the way, when you use that.
Where could people go other than that to follow you and what's your final message for everyone in our final minute here?
Thank you.
Everyone can go to EarlyVoteAction.com for my entire schedule for Pennsylvania for this next month.
Also that Facebook group is Pennsylvania Republicans.
We just reached the threshold of 10,000 members.
Final message.
Today's the last day for Mississippi to register to vote.
Tomorrow the 10th is the last day to register to vote for Kentucky.
23rd is the last day to register to vote for Pennsylvania.
I ask you humbly to use this next month of your time to get out the vote for this November 7th election because success this year will propel us to victory next year in 2024.
Scott Pressler, early votes action.
Make sure you're all going to Scott's site.
Crash Scott's site.
I want it to go down faster than his hair.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much.
Thank you, Scott, for being with us.
Hey, thanks.
Folks, we understand that there's always going to be some horror in this world.
There's always going to be atrocity.
There's always going to be terrible things happening.
Peace is the prize.
A peaceful world.
We had someone in office for four years.
This didn't happen.
For four years, we had peace.
We had prosperity.
But the never-Trumpers and the far-left worked to remove him from office in a rigged election.
Now we have the chance to set things right before all of World War III breaks up.
