The Pozo Daily Brief.
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host Jack Posobiec.
Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault at home as they are today.
What makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack both at home and overseas at the very same time.
Overseas, Putin of Russia is on the march, invading Ukraine and sowing chaos throughout Europe and beyond.
Republicans are on the wrong side of history.
They're on the wrong side of the polls.
They're on the wrong side of decency on so many of these questions.
I'm saying specifically on that front, Donald Trump.
I mean, last night, game, set, match to Joe Biden.
We now must beat the NRA again.
I'm demanding a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
It was an incredible night for the president, and I don't know if the Republicans truly understood just how negative they looked.
All Americans deserve the freedom to be safe, and America is safer today than when I took office.
The year before I took office, murder rates went up 30%.
They went up 30 percent.
Thirty percent they went up.
The biggest increase in history.
It was then.
You have four years of Biden and you have four years of Trump.
Compare the two when it comes to international stability, economic growth, and border security.
People will be able to make their choice based on results and action.
Lincoln, Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.
That's right.
But how many of thousands of people being killed by legal?
Biden is on the run from his record and lying like crazy to try and escape accountability.
For the horrific devastation he and his party have created all the while they continue the very policies that are causing this horror show to go.
We cannot take it any longer as a country.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
Today is March 8, 2024.
Anno Domini.
Shout out to all the ladies out there.
International Women's Day.
Let me tell you something.
I watched that speech last night.
It was manic, dishonest, delusional, duplicitous.
And I tell you now, the main thing That whoever that person was giving the Republican response missed.
There's one name that I didn't hear coming out of your mouth.
One name that needs to be mentioned because this man who's sitting there is an illegitimate president and the legitimate president of the United States is Donald J. Trump and he will return when he is victorious on November Fifth, ladies and gentlemen, this is the last time you're ever going to have to hear Joe Biden up there for all that time because DJT is coming back to USA.
Darren Beatty is with us in our studio, West Palm Beach.
Darren, I mean, there isn't much to say.
What did you think of the speech last night?
Well, I mean, to appropriate maybe the good adjectives from the response, it was doddering, it was dithering, it was completely underwhelming.
Although I think graded on a curve, and the curve is one in which basically he collapses mid-speech, at least that was a very live possibility.
The fact that he didn't collapse, the fact that he didn't have an accident in his pants, presumably, the fact that he was able to muster enough energy to yell albeit in very awkward moments.
I thought that that was at least a kind of measured success from his point.
So mixed results.
I think he basically ends up in a neutral position here.
The Democrats basically liked it enough.
He didn't have a disaster moment, which for him is basically a resounding success.
Darren, I couldn't agree more.
This was...
Honestly, when it comes down to it, I thought that his speech, in terms of its delivery, aside from the chokes and the coughs and the stuttering, it was mostly boring, but it wasn't devoid of everything because there was a huge
A huge point that came out, and we're going to get into that here in the next segment, because he just announced that the United States military is getting involved and deploying to another Middle East war.
This is exactly the opposite of what we heard from President Trump.
This is the opposite of what the American people want.
This is the opposite of what the American people need.
This is the opposite of what people like Lakin Riley need.
We need a president back in office who puts America first.
And all the bureaucrats out there that don't want to put America first, get ready.
Your judgment will be swift.
Stay tuned.
We'll be right back.

Darren, we need to get into this.
Announcements that Biden tried to slip into the State of the Union the same way that he's allowed 13 million illegals to slip into this country, including gangs, because we do now have the breaking news that the suspected murderer of Lakin Riley was actually a member of one of these Venezuela, these extremely violent Venezuelan gangs.
Claiming that because the humanitarian issues regarding Gaza are so great, and it's obviously been such a political disaster for him in state after state, not to mention Michigan and Minnesota, possibly North Virginia as well.
That he's been attempting to do this airlift of supplies into Gaza City.
This was a complete disaster and people are actually killed by the supplies that were diving in.
That he's now announced that the United States Navy will apparently be conducting a maritime sea lift of aid to Gaza City.
The only problem being that Gaza doesn't have a capable port for this and so he's now announcing the U.S.
military We'll be building a temporary pier using units operating out of Cyprus to put this thing together.
This plan is completely nuts.
It's certain.
I think at this point it would be certain to backfire given not only the history of the region, but the fact that you've got targets in the region like the Houthis that are already using drones and kamikaze drones at a high rate across the Red Sea.
Certainly, Hezbollah has these capabilities, as well as Hamas, just simply wanting to from the start.
I wanted to also say, though, this is exactly how the Gulf of Tonkin incident happened.
That the United States military, the Navy was there, supposed to be there for these, you know, for peacekeeping operations, etc, etc.
And when in actuality, what was going on is that they were using those naval vessels and those missions as a cover for covert operations.
This will clearly be used for covert operations.
We'll probably see refugees on the other end.
Walk me through some of the dangers of the United States getting involved in yet another Middle East war like this.
Well, a couple things on that.
First of all, I can't help but cling on to this fact that you presented that in early humanitarian efforts, people were actually killed through various airlifts.
I can only imagine The irony of a Hamas operative who has survived the utter destruction visited on Gaza only to perish when a bag of rice drops on his head.
So that is kind of a bizarre and ironic situation in the first place that I think exemplifies the bungling that's become all too typical of anything associated with Biden and certainly anything foreign policy associated with Biden.
The broader context for this alleged humanitarian, ramped up humanitarian effort, it's really just the political fissure.
Within the Democrat Party.
And in fact, we saw that last night with all the protesters who were outside trying to prevent this State of the Union from even happening.
You see it come to the fore a bit, but what people I think underestimate is just how much tension is simmering beneath the surface and that if Biden weren't a factor, if Biden were somehow removed, all of these tensions would really come to the fore in a dramatic way, because the Israel-Gaza thing is really just kind of,
it really exemplifies pre-existing tensions that exist within the Democrat it really exemplifies pre-existing tensions that exist within the Democrat coalition that are being sort of temporarily kept at bay, although we see spillover.
And of course, Biden tries to thread that needle.
You saw in the speech he began Basically saying, you know, this is a horrible situation.
It was a horrible attack.
I'm the most, you know, pro-Israel president ever.
Basically, he said some version of that, and he gave an explicit nod to some family of the hostages who are still being held.
But of course, you can't just leave it at that.
He has to finesse the issue.
He has to present some kind of semblance of balance because you have a lot of the Democrat base frothing at the mouth.
And they're even frothing at people like AOC, as I'm sure many watching this have seen the video clip of AOC being harassed coming out.
I think she was watching Dune 2 or maybe some other movie, and she was being harassed by unhinged activists who think that she's not sufficiently anti-Israel, pro-Palestine.
So, So if she's getting heat, you can imagine the kind of pressure on someone like Biden.
And so I see this humanitarian thing.
It makes zero sense from a geopolitical perspective.
As you point out, it's only gonna make things worse.
It's only another attack surface that increases the likelihood of a broader conflagration.
And all it really is is for this one-liner to present a semblance of balance to assuage the increasingly frenetic elements of the base that think that Biden's been to accommodating to Israel.
So it's a great example of a huge foreign policy risk and really mistake, but it's a foreign policy being mistake being made not on foreign policy terms, but with domestic considerations in mind is my view.
That's certainly right, and what can I say?
It absolutely wouldn't be the first time that a U.S.
president had used the ordering of troops into some, again, Middle Eastern conflict in an election year to try to bolster their flagging polls, or in this case, not only that, but also to bolster the coalition.
By the way, that Gulf of Tonkin incident, 1964, the summer of 1964, so this is just a couple of months after the assassination of JFK, and the first time that LBJ was up for his own election, which would turn out to be his only election, his one, I guess we can say, his one official term in office.
And I just, I can't get away from it.
The parallels to this are so incredible.
It also reminds me of Jimmy Carter and the Desert One mission where he authorized and ordered this, before JSOC got set up, and this is really kind of the origin story of JSOC, was this failure to retrieve the Iranian hostages.
To your point, another failed hostage mission where covert action was used with cover to attempt to get people out.
I mean, it would not surprise me.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me if the guys at DevGrew, Steel Team 6, were trying to push for some attempted hostage rescue.
I'm sure, by the way, In good faith trying to work with this.
The IDF, of course, a close partner of US military.
That being said, certainly IDF is is very capable on their own.
And so this isn't like, you know, some African country partner force, you know, this is this is a very serious, very serious special forces there.
And so if there were to be any joint mission, I would certainly imagine that IDF had the had the operational control of it.
Yes, that's quite likely.
So indeed, there's probably some kind of covert plan behind this pretext, but I would still say the driving force of things really is the domestic political consideration.
And maintaining a lid as much as possible on this simmering tension that is only intensified between the kind of aggravated youthful elements of the base who don't think that Biden has done enough To be pro-Palestine, I suppose, and Biden's other considerations, which is, of course, to maintain proper relations and alliance with Israel.
So this, I think, is a really serious tension within the Democrat Party, and not just a tension with respect to that Israel-Palestine issue specifically, but that kind of is representative of a deeper fissure i think and a reckoning that ultimately will have to take place but biden um for all of his bungling maybe the best value
the best service he offers the democrats is he allows them to kick the can down the road just a little bit because he's accepted he's familiar he's kind of a compromised legacy candidate but if he were to god forbid you know have a stroke or something then he's gone then all of these factions would come to the fore and the israel-palestine thing would be a huge issue in determining what comes next
And of course, we've seen time and time again, where the Biden administration, they've dispatched Ro Khanna to Michigan, Dearborn, Michigan, they've dispatched multiple individuals to areas throughout Minnesota.
And there's a certain irony there, and we're coming up on our break, but there's an absolute irony there that these refugee communities Literally every conservative told you that this would happen, but here we are.
We'll be right back.
Obama administration policies to just basically dump asylum seekers and refugees from the Middle East into these parts of the Midwest.
This is where we get Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
And now suddenly they don't support the policies that your administration and your coalition stand for.
Literally every conservative told you that this would happen.
But here we are.
We'll be right back.
Darren BD next.

Darren, one of the more, I think, jarring moments of the night, probably the only real, I guess, disaster moment that you could say for Biden was the, I shouldn't use this word, the butchering of the name of Lakin Riley, a girl who had been butchered herself the butchering of the name of Lakin Riley, a girl who had been butchered herself at the This situation where would have been a very strong moment for him.
And I said this on a, on a Twitter spaces this morning, that it would have been very strong for him to simply show that he was representing all Americans.
Obviously, Lakin Riley was not a conservative or a Republican or some political representative, shouldn't partisan in any way.
She was an American, she's a nursing student.
And it would have been very strong for him to just come out and say some moment, you know, some question to her family.
But instead we hear about IVF users and we hear about the woman who desperately needed an abortion and she had to leave Texas and all of these things.
And certainly the Democrats are very desperate to make the 2024 election about that.
But unfortunately, because of these incidents, like what happened to Lakin Riley, death at the hands of What seems to be now a Venezuelan gang member.
This was a huge faceplant moment for Biden something where I again, I said before I would have loved to JD Vance had given the response but given that the border is now such a powerful issue in the country.
Do you think that this really gives Republicans and President Trump the upper hand?
Well, I think they have the upper hand for many reasons, that is to say, Trump and the Republicans.
I certainly think that any ordinary Americans who see the situation, who understand, even in parts, what's going on in the border, are scandalized by it.
I mean, it's really a disaster.
frankly, transcend political affiliations.
This is existential stuff that gets to not what kind of country we are, but the question of whether we are even a country in any meaningful sense.
In fact, the border situation is so disastrous that I think a lot of people want to look away from it.
It's always been sort of an interesting aspect in media that a lot of border stories actually don't get the kind of attention that even sort of inner-city crime stories do.
And one explanation offered for that that I find fairly persuasive is The border stuff is simply so demoralizing because it's going on it's been going on for so long and now it's so bad and it doesn't seem like the system is really set up to correct it at all and in the case of Biden they're actively inviting it.
Enthusiastically inviting it.
They're pouring in and you don't need tragic situations like this poor nursing student who is butchered.
Think about, you know, just even not the tragedies like that.
Just think about the fact that we're putting them up in five-star hotels.
think of the burden on the taxpayers and I know a lot of these are in you know cities and we could say okay well you know just make New York City even crappier but ultimately it's still the country it's still our country that we want to present and to have them come in and to treat them with this kind of red carpet luxury that is so far away from the experience of most citizens is It's it's simply unfathomable.
The situation on the border is unfathomable.
And it's an unfathomable disgrace for our leadership all the way up to the top.
And obviously that would that would be Biden.
And so I certainly think that this should be Exploited electorally.
But I think there's a demoralized sense in people that ultimately, more or less, this isn't going to be fixed.
The system doesn't allow it.
Can we even imagine the Republicans mustering the will to do what would need to be done to really correct the issue after so long of all of these people pouring in?
And remember, their kids are all legal citizens!
It's not even the legal part.
The illegal part.
Anytime they have a kid, that becomes a citizen.
He mentioned Dreamers in the speech.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was very brief, not a lot of people have picked up on this, but he did mention DREAMers and I think he, I don't think he said pathway to citizenship, but he said pathway to legalization of DREAMers.
It was very quick and there was a lot going on at the time.
Well, there's the DREAMer issue.
Yeah, there's the DREAMer issue that's a scandal in its own right, but I'm simply talking about the fact that the legals, when they're here and they have kids, they don't even have to be DREAMers because they're automatically citizens.
So it's like ultimately the problem is like yes we have a certain amount of illegals but the generational problem is all of their offspring simply by virtue of being born on U.S.
soil they automatically become citizens.
There's a reason they call them anchor babies.
That anchors the whole family and titles them to all of the benefits.
It shows social benefits, the welfare benefits.
It's hard to imagine how all of this is sustainable yet it's been going on for decades and getting far far Worse.
Far, far worse under Biden.
So really, the border situation is so existentially bad that I think people have difficulty even processing it, which prevents people from paying enough attention to it that it really deserves.
It's just really overwhelming when you get into the true nature of what's been going on and how long it's been going on.
Well, and this for me was, and I credit to Katie Britt for making a lot of her comments about the border, centering a lot of her comments about the border, but what I would say that the one piece of the Republican response that I think was missed and left on the table was that certainly we can catalog and All of the ills of the Biden administration, we can describe the mess that's going on right now.
Even Biden himself, by the way, in response to the invocation of Lake and Riley, totally steps in it and says, hey, we've got thousands of people that are being killed by legals too.
It's like, right.
That's not a good response, brother.
That's not, you know, grandpa, that's not exactly the way you should respond to this.
But the piece of it is, though, as a party response, what you need to be offering is an alternative and a solution.
That is the reason for engaging in politics as an enterprise to begin with.
And that's where not invoking the name of Donald Trump, not saying we have a candidate on the ballot and a message who is going to come forward and say, and it's very simple.
We don't want this to be a referendum election on IVF or abortion.
We want this very much to be a referendum on mass deportations, not just the wall.
Not just the wall.
The wall's baked in.
The wall's priced in.
The wall was 2016.
We didn't get the wall all the way finished and, you know, people tried to build it and they want to put Steve Bannon in jail over that.
But no, no.
Now it's mass deportations because we didn't get the wall.
The issue is exacerbated.
And it's very simple.
I think that if President Trump continues to push that, and to his credit, he certainly has in almost every one of his recent some speeches.
I mentioned it at CPAC.
Stephen Miller's outspoken on it.
And I think that when it comes to the Senate right now, there's a number of bills that are up for the funding of the government.
It's quite simple.
Shut down the border or shut down the government.
That's number one.
And number two, you must put mass deportations on the agenda.
Darren, do you think that if Trump is able to use that like he used the wall, you know, even we're going to deport them and make them make them pay for it themselves or something like that, it would get the same kind of traction that the wall did in 2016?
You know, that's a great, that's a really great question.
I think, you know, I've been always a huge proponent of the wall.
I think it's common sense.
It's effective.
But in another way, a wall is really symbolic.
Its significance is symbolic.
In terms of actual effective enforcement, I think you have to focus on interior enforcement, and one dimension of that would be deportations.
But I think, you know, just because the problem is so overwhelming and really so offensive, that people sometimes assume that the solution has to be the most kind of controversial rhetorically.
When I think a lot could be done simply by enforcement mechanisms, employment enforcement mechanisms, have a real E-Verify type system, and don't pay for their five-star hotels.
If the government social services didn't pay them any money, and if they were not able to work, you know, it's kind of trite, but I think the self-deportation would do a lot of the work for it.
And then in addition to that, we could provide some assistance for those who haven't helped themselves.
But people underestimate the power of self-deportation and think, oh, we need all of these crazy things.
We need to round them up and throw them out.
And any serious country should be willing to do that and has the right to do that.
But if you start with just the basics, like that's how crazy the situation is.
We don't even need to get to that level yet.
We can simply say, if you're not here legally, the system is such that you can't work.
And if you're here, we're not going to pay for you to stay at the Roosevelt Hotel indefinitely.
Just those two things alone.
On the Lake and Riley situation, I know we have a quick break here, that when investigating the alleged murderer in Lake and Riley's case, it turns out that his brother was working, I believe, either at one of the universities that was down there that were involved in this.
He was working there, and they fired him because they found that he had a fake green card.
It's like, wait a minute.
Why couldn't you have just checked that through E-Verify to begin with?
Exactly.
And why do you have a Venezuelan gang banger working at a university cook room?
This is how bad the situation is.
But it actually, on the other hand, also shows us that if we, as you say, if we just switch on these enforcement mechanisms...
A little bit, just a little bit, that will immediately start getting the deportations turned on much faster than people realize.
And as you say, some people will have to be held.
And Jack, where's Jack?
Where's Jack?
Where is he?

Darren Beatty, you're not someone who's been ever wary to speak on the issue of January 6.
And yes, neither was Joe Biden last night.
He brought it up again and again throughout the speech, probably even as many times as he brought up Ukraine or Israel.
It really seems like he's trying to put January 6 on the ballot, isn't he?
That's a great question, and my answer would be yes and no.
He's certainly trying to highlight the significance of January 6th, and I think it's important to speak a little bit about the background here, because sometimes, you know, we have groundbreaking stuff on January 6th, and we're very close to the finish line on the pipe bomb.
Everyone's asking me, when's the follow-up piece?
It's taken a while, but that's because there's a lot there, so stay tuned and keep checking Revolver News.
It's going to be there in the coming, probably next week.
but it's still relevant all these years later.
And it's not relevant because I'm talking about it.
Of course, we want justice for the political prisoners who are still wallowing away, in many cases, in solitary confinement and such.
But it's relevant because the Democrats continue to make it an issue, not just as the pretext to weaponize the national security state against the American people, but the legal pretext that they've used to remove Trump from ballots.
Thanks.
Thank you.
They're counting on January 6th as a means to defeat Trump through extracurricular practices.
So when you say, are they trying to put January 6th on the ballot?
Yes and no.
January 6th and the false fedsurrection narrative behind it, and specifically that Trump was somehow involved, that is the cornerstone of the legal pretext they're using to remove The question from the democratic process entirely.
So it's a way for them to circumvent the ballot more so than it's a question for the ballot.
And I think it's complementary in that sense to the abortion issue, which is very much a ballot and mobilization issue for them.
And so their strategy is really two pronged.
It's a lawfare strategy aimed at undermining Trump through extracurricular means, taking him off the ballot, throwing these phony criminal charges and civil suits at him, and January 6th and the false narrative behind it is a major pillar of that.
So that's one aspect.
Then the other aspect, which is more of the ballot issue, the retail issue, the mobilization issue, is the abortion issue.
And you saw that in the way that Biden talked about it.
He said something like, oh, in fact, he directly addressed the Supreme Court and said, basically, oh, you know, you're about to find out how much political power women have, you know, come November, because they're all going to be riled up.
About the abortion issue.
And I think on that, you know, he's right that it is very much an electoral issue that they're trying to focus on.
So we'll see how successful that is.
But really, it's the two prong strategy.
Extracurricular, legal, January 6, ballot, retail, abortion, or what they would call pro-choice.
And so when we, or women's rights as well, and to that, in that vein, we have this Republican response, which is given, I think, an attempt to sort of lean in on that.
Obviously, Republicans playing identity politics here the same way they have been doing.
Ann Coulter actually mentioned in her column today that this is the ninth consecutive State of the Union response.
So that means nine years in a row, or I should say nine years when a Democrat was president, in the Republicans giving a response that either went to a female or a minority.
And this obviously was brought up again and again in terms of it.
I said before I would have loved if President Trump's name had been brought up as a way as a solution to the problems, not just describing the problems and telling us how emotionally involved you are in the problems and how much it affects you as a mother and all of these things.
Sure, we get it.
We got it.
But also, you know, to a greater extent, the fact that, you know, you do have these other issues out there that I think could have been addressed in a different way and that We have an alternate candidate.
His name is Donald Trump.
What is your sense of the Republican response?
Well, you know, it's great, and it's so true about affirmative action.
You know, a lot of people on the right, you know, when they think about affirmative action, they think about, you know, Harvard and universities and maybe corporate settings and so forth.
But the real truth is that no institution practices affirmative action more clumsily, egregiously, and enthusiastically than The Republican Party and even a lot of conservative institutions.
And this is a perfect example of it.
And in fact, the State of the Union response is a particularly viable place for that type of display because it's really sort of like a nothing, you know, figurehead type of gesture.
We're talking this on the break is that I can't think of the last time or any time, frankly, that a state of the union response has sort of been anyone's big breakout moment politically.
I can think of, you know, convention speeches and things like that.
But the state of union response sort of built into the structure of it.
It's going to be kind of lame and underwhelming.
And for that reason, I think it's actually maybe a blessing in disguise that you know, someone more serious that I like tremendously, like J.D. Vance wasn't giving it because it is kind of like an offhand, "Okay, here you go, because you're not serious." That's the kind of hidden pretext for being offered that to begin with.
And also I thought, yeah, it's bizarre that there was no mention of Trump from Biden and the response.
And, you know, look, he's the frontrunner by far.
He's the most popular guy.
He's the linchpin of the whole party.
And he's not given credit for being quite successful under, you know, faced a lot of challenges and pushback.
Compared to Biden, he was extremely successful on the border and a lot of the other dimensions that were mentioned.
So I think the response was good.
It hit some, you know, relevant issues.
Crime, border.
I like to see that.
The whole context of it was kind of underwhelming.
And the delivery was, frankly, kind of a caricature.
It was comical.
You know, I think you've used the term theater kid.
To me, it Hit me like I was watching an audition for, like, a B-rate soap opera.
Yeah, I saw a tweet about this that's been going around today where, you know, I saw it on Twitter, so of course it must be true, that they said the Las Vegas Bookers aren't even allowing people to put odds on whether or not SNL is going to do a sketch of this, because it's just a complete certainty.
And that's nothing against Senator Britz personally, I don't think anyone has any personal issues, Yeah.
No, she's fine.
She's charming.
She's photogenic.
And that counts for a lot.
Maybe that counts for more, you know, overwhelms all the other factors.
But watching it, I did... She doesn't usually deliver speeches like this.
Right.
It was, it was overdone.
It was like when you're, when someone's given a certain song and then every woman wants to sing it like Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey, you know, there was that clumsy, clumsy mismatch between, you know, what she was saying and the actual delivery of it.
And frankly, I did kind of feel sorry for whatever poor guy had to write that speech for her.
As a former speechwriter myself, I can imagine, I see the themes, you know, we want to, we want to, the kitchen table needs to be the star of the show here, but... It's all there.
It just, it didn't land very well.
No, no, too many, too many cooks in the kitchen, perhaps.
We'll be talking about some people who popped out of the kitchen here in the next segment.
Tom Sauer joining us.
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jay Fasov.
He's a criminal.
He is selling our future right in front of our eyes.
Come on, Jay Fasov.
He's a criminal.
Face us.
Face us.
All fossil fuels.
And to be clear, look.
with richness and sacred and youthful faith as we drink and eat together.
- Our fossil fuels! - Remind us, oh God, Lord, that the wine that we eat is a wine that marries our hearts.
- Our fossil fuels! - And that the voices of fools will cherish.
- Our fossil fuels, baby, have a family of fools! - That the food we eat is the mercy of the God who remakes us in his heavenly peace.
- Now, help us! - We promise that we are told to the myriads of all commands.
- Now, help us!
And the voices of evil will ultimately be silenced by a God who possesses heaven and earth.
And so that the other self and spirit, whose voice is never silenced, we pray as chester to the angels, that you may not take thy thunder from us, but indeed take away our strife.
All right, so what you just saw was an event from American Moment that I attended a couple of nights ago in D.C.
where Senator J.D.
Vance was speaking, where David Sachs, the great David Sachs, received an award From the Organization American moment, the gala was called the Gala for American Statecraft.
Incredible, super excited to be invited.
And that was Tom Sauer, a United States Navy EOD vet, and myself.
The first two to pop up out of our seats when these, you know, this commie riffraff popped out of the you know, sort of service room, you know, door, started protesting Vance.
Tom gets up and just starts tossing them out the door.
Tom joins us now.
Tom, what did you think other than, you know, abject rage when you saw them come in there?
Um, I'll be honest.
Hey, first, thanks.
Thanks for having me on.
Good to see you again, buddy.
Uh, honestly, I was kind of excited.
I shouldn't say that.
I got a little bit of rage.
Yeah, I could tell.
Because I got really pissed off because I'm very dear friends, like you are, with Sraub and Nick and Sam and all the guys at American Moment.
Love JD.
Love Dave Sachs were there.
And this was like a really big event for them.
They put a ton of work into.
And then they decide to interrupt it in the middle of the invocation.
At the very beginning, when Yuri Brito was giving the prayer, in the middle of the prayer, my opinion was like, F you guys.
Do not care.
You're getting tossed.
And then, um, the one young guy, the one, um, I guess there were a couple of Ukrainian guys that were there, the one that got physical with me and threw a couple slaps at me or whatever, and I may or may not have returned the favor off camera, but the thing is, is like, he wanted me to Hit him.
He kept sticking his chin out, man.
It was really strange.
Anyways, threw him out.
I got a little scratch.
It was nothing.
But when it was over, I was, like, excited, because I hadn't been in a fight in years, and it wasn't even really much of a fight.
It was hardly anything.
More happened off-camera.
You can't quite see that, but whatever.
I was excited.
I had a little adrenaline rush, and I even thought I said to Natalie, and I think I said it over to you, but stable, Jack.
I'm like, can they come back?
I just wanted to come back.
No, you actually tweeted that, by the way.
It was great, it was fun.
It was a highlight of the evening.
So, no, I remember when I got up, when you came in front of me, I actually put my hand on your shoulder, and it wasn't like trying to get you out of my way or something, I was kind of being like, like, Tom, I wasn't worried for you, I was worried about what you might do to them.
It's like, no, no, no, no, no, Tom, it's okay, we'll be alright.
It was fine.
I want to get Darren here real quick.
Little blood, little blood.
I may have had a couple of elbows that got in there.
Is this the energy that we need going into 2024?
I said something about this isn't the old right.
We don't call the cops.
There is this tendency on the old right to sort of, oh, we view them as good people who just don't understand the unintended consequences of their decisions, etc, etc.
But when we're faced with, you know, abject communists like this, should we treat them in good faith or should we give them the boot?
Well, obviously, don't treat them in good faith.
It's remarkable to me that if anything is going to get you riled up to the point of causing that type of disturbance, it's about fossil fuels.
I can't imagine getting so emotionally attached to the issue of fossil fuels one way or another.
So it's a very bizarre mechanism there.
And yes, you know, congratulations for getting rid of them.
If anything, you know, it should be a little bit more uh vigorous as a response i think we can all take a cue from i think it was joe manchin or his security people i think they uh paved the way forward for all that um for how to deal with these people but um yeah it's it's just nasty it's disruptive it's stupid um and it shouldn't be tolerated it's like but i'm just waiting
i'm just waiting for the left to try to portray this is like um our uh eltamont concert there was a there was a brookings um You know, there was a Brookings consultant or some such thing who quote-tweeted my video and said, look at how activism escalates into aggression.
So I quote-tweeted her, I said, look at how Brookings is paid to gaslight when we can see who the aggressors are here.
And I said, by the way, that wasn't Tom Sauer being aggressive.
That was Tom being nice.
I was being nice.
It's true.
And here's something crazy, guys.
I'm not sure if everyone knows this.
Those people, that group, they tried to buy tickets to the event, which was not cheap.
I mean, all around, like several thousand dollars to get multiple tickets to that event, right, as a donor event.
And the very clever people at American Moment didn't recognize the name, did a little bit of homework, promptly rejected the tickets, refunded the money.
I wish they hadn't refunded the money.
But that's why I think they tried to get in that way, to get seats at the event.
And when that didn't work, they got let in somehow through the kitchen.
in the back.
And then I wondered to myself, there's several thousand dollars that was spent.
I'm a theory that somebody at the hotel might have, not to cast aspersions, but it was kind of interesting to see how they got into that service area.
We only got a minute left in the show.
Tom, where can people go to follow you?
You find me on Twitter @ThomasBSauer.
I was here in D.C.
for a few days, here strictly to advocate for veterans' mental health and addiction treatment through the VA.
So that's the primary reason I was here, but also to visit with you and Tonya and our good friends at American Moment.
Amen.
It's been a minute.
People don't realize that Tom and I actually served together when we were in the Navy.
He was Navy Bomb Squad, and I was his weenie intel officer.
Darren Beatty, where can people go to follow you?
I let you say it, not me!
