This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
You know, everyone here on this show has been covering Trump for years.
And the big story in 2016, and to some extent 2020, was that his campaign was a soap opera.
You know, everyone here on the show has been covering Trump for years.
And the big story in 2016 and to some extent 2020 was that his campaign was a soap opera.
It was clashing personalities.
It was nonstop drama.
And covering this cycle, the thing that I've been struck by time and time again is that it's really a low drama campaign.
These are operatives who are focused, who don't want press, who don't want their egos out there.
They are focused on getting Donald Trump into the White House in November 2024.
Because as I write in the piece, his freedom is at stake recently.
Really, the only thing that is guaranteed to keep Donald Trump out of jail is becoming the next president of the United States and appointing an attorney general who will get these charges thrown out.
It's really that simple.
Former President Trump securing what the RNC tells us was $50.5 million in donation commitments.
They said that fundraiser hosted at the home of investor John Paulson.
Now, last night, Mr. Trump framed this as a record-setting night that was a sign of a uniting Republican Party.
President Biden will unveil his new sweeping student loan plan, which could erase or lower debt for tens of millions of Americans.
The plan targets runaway interest, canceling up to $20,000 for the 25 million borrowers who now owe more than they borrow.
And those making $120,000 or less a year would be eligible to have all of their interest wiped out.
The plan would also eliminate debt for borrowers with at least 20-year-old loans.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the Biden administration will push China to address an industrial policy that's posing a threat to U.S.
jobs.
The secretary is in China, wrapping up a fourth day of talks with officials this morning.
The focus of the trip had been to address China's industrial policy and what the U.S.
and Europe describes as manufacturing overcapacity in China.
X, formerly known as Twitter, it's revealed that they've been forced by court decisions to block certain popular accounts in Brazil.
Meanwhile, X owner Elon Musk said that he will be legally challenging the court order.
He will lift the restrictions even if it leads to the closure of the social media platform in the country.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live from Washington, D.C.
Today is April 8th, 2024.
Anno Domini, what can I say?
The Poso Eclipse stream begins now.
Eclipse gang only.
Eclipse gang only.
Let me explain something to the folks out there.
To people who say that the eclipse is something to worry about, I would say this.
Donald Trump is the eclipse.
Donald Trump is what will eclipse the unhumans.
You're worried about the economy.
You're worried about World War III.
You're worried about the border.
You're worried about crime.
You're worried about the schools.
It's the schools.
It's the agendas.
It's the agendas.
It's trans.
It's LGBT.
It's this.
It's that.
It's everything.
Okay?
What are you going to do about it?
What are you going to do about it that matters on a national scale?
It's called winning.
It's called having the will to victory.
Do you want to eclipse the unhumans?
Do you have the stomach for the fight that is yet to come?
Because as we get closer and closer to the end game, you will see conservative leaders turn on Trump and you will see conservative leaders turn on this moment the way they always have.
Because they do not have the stomach for this.
Because they do not actually want to win.
They're happy to be out there and get their paychecks.
Make their money.
But at the end of the day...
Do you want to get paid or do you want victory?
Do you want ultimate and total victory?
Because it is achievable.
It is achievable, it is attainable, and we can defeat cultural Marxism and the unhumans in our lifetime.
It is right before us.
It is right before us.
If you want to secure our gun rights, if you want to secure our freedom of speech rights, not just in private, by the way, but most importantly in public, if you want to secure the rights of Christians, if you want to restore the rights of the religious, do you want to stop the oppression Of white people and white males, specifically, that's going on in this country.
You can do all of it.
You can do all of it.
The persecution, the attacks, can all stop.
The anti-white racism, anti-whitism, whatever you want to call it.
We can do all of these things.
But the only way that we can do it is Trump.
So together, We can work to eclipse the unhumans, or we will be eclipsed by them.
Mike Ben joins us next.
Ladies and gentlemen, one of the best ways that you can support us here at Human Events and the work that we do is subscribing one of the best ways that you can support us here at Human Events and the work Make sure you're subscribed.

But I got a hankering yearning deep inside for this book called Unhumans.
I just can't.
Unhumans.
Unhumans.
Thank you.
Alright, Jack Posobiec back live here, Human Events Daily.
It is eclipse gang only today.
Eclipse gang, rise up.
Trump is the eclipse.
Now, another eclipse that's going on right now is all the news out of Brazil.
This major dust up over the weekend Between Brazil, the Supreme Court of Brazil, and Elon Musk.
Now if you've been a longtime Human Events listener, this should come as no surprise to you because you remember that it was the Supreme Court in Brazil that was run by communists that essentially worked on Throwing Bolsonaro out of office, about letting Lula the criminal out of prison and then installing him as the new president.
It was all being run by this guy who heads Brazil's Supreme Court.
Now they're fighting back against Elon and Twitter But actually, the real dirty secret is who's behind all of it.
Mike Benz from the Foundation Freedom Online joins us now.
Benz, walk us through this situation right now.
What's going on between Elon and Brazil?
First, explain that to us and then explain who's really driving it.
Yeah, so right now you have a decision by the Supreme Court of Brazil, as you mentioned, that basically requires and compels X to censor accounts and to take down so-called disinformation and hate speech that is so crudely broad that it's effectively tantamount to censoring half of the entire Brazilian population.
Basically, and with even a faint affinity for Bolsonaro.
And this is basically a purge by the newly installed Brazilian government to get rid of Bolsonaro-ism after Bolsonaro, in the same way that there was a purge, for example, after January 6th in the United States, to get rid of anyone on social media associated with Trump-ism after Trump.
And one of the forces that would typically, this is a very rare thing, let me say, in addition to this mass censorship of Brazil at X, and after Elon Musk pledged that he would not cooperate with this order, as some other platforms like Rumble and Locals did not, the Brazilian government then responded by saying that Elon Musk is now a part of an organized criminal
activity ring.
I think they called it instrumentalizing criminal misconduct or something by allowing free speech on the platform.
So they're now investigating him criminally, the Brazilian High Court, for defying a state censorship order.
Now, this is a very rare thing to happen on the world stage to a major U.S. corporation, let alone to a major U.S. public figure like Elon Musk.
And even more rare for that to happen from a country who's one of the top 10 largest economies in the entire world, Brazil.
This is not, you know, Libya or something who's, you know, who doesn't necessarily have the clout to be able to exert this pressure.
This is a very rare thing.
Folks may be wondering, why doesn't this happen very frequently?
You know, obviously U.S. figures can rub noses with foreign governments.
The answer is because the State Department usually does its job, which is the State Department's job is to protect U.S. national champions in the industry space and also to be able to project U.S.
soft power on other countries and maintain those markets there.
But in this case, the State Department is strangely not sending a delegation immediately to Brazil, is not threatening sanctions on Brazil for censorship of its own people, the same way they sanctioned Iran a year and a half ago for censoring their own people.
The same way they sanctioned North Korea four years ago for censoring their own people.
So there's no delegation, there's no negotiations, there's no threats of cutting off exports, there's no threats of cutting off aid, there's no threats of cutting off security, and there's no threats of sanctions.
Well, you may be wondering why that is, and that's because the State Department has been in on it all along.
This is something that I've been covering now for a very long time, which is the which is the sort of deep backstory of how the censorship apparatus in Brazil even got started in the first place.
But I'll just pause here.
And I've been I've been talking for a little bit.
If you want to ask more targeted question where I can just get going.
Well, well, yeah.
So let me just make sure the audience is following along.
So these are many of the same actors that worked to throw Bolsonaro out of office.
They then essentially found him guilty of what they claimed was election denial.
They're saying that they're barring him from actually running for office again, I think for like a decade or something is the current ruling.
And at one point, Bolsonaro was taking refuge, I think, in the Hungarian embassy because he knew they were going to lock him up.
So this has been a full on and really just communist purge.
It's been an absolute communist purge.
But what you're saying is that on the next level of all of this, that it's not just coming from the commies on the Brazilian Supreme Court, this guy, Alexandre de Moraes, that we had already been talking about.
And people can look at this dude.
I mean, just look at the guy.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
You know, there's an alliance here between the communist left and the neoliberal capitalist left, which is really where the NATO and U.S.
a direct tie.
I don't think we have this before to the US State Department behind all of it.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
You know, there is there's an alliance here between the communist left and the neoliberal capital capitalist left, which is which is really where the NATO and US State Department story comes into this.
So I began.
So again, the censorship industry is not really a domestic run phenomenon.
It manifests itself domestically.
But really, at the top of the food chain is the foreign policy establishment, the blob.
And in this case, the blob's big fear is the rise of populist governments, populist nationalist governments, in large GDP countries that will reject the globalist edicts of the day.
So for example, Bolsonaro pushed back very strongly on COVID vaccines and COVID mandates, if you remember as well, in addition to the sort of populist nationalist rhetoric and policies that he was enacting for the Brazilian people.
What the blob feared in 2018 with Bolsonaro's election and with the re-election of Modi in India and the rise of right-wing populist parties across Europe was what they called a new non-aligned movement.
Now, the Non-Aligned Movement was this faction during the Cold War of countries like India at the time who were not aligned explicitly with either the communist Soviets or the, you know, sort of capitalist, you know, liberal West.
They were non-aligned, which proved to be a very difficult sticking point diplomatically for the West, because the West really wanted the leverage of these large non-aligned countries to be able to put pressure and cripple and destabilize the Soviet Union.
And the non-aligned countries would push back.
They wouldn't accept Western edicts.
And there was a new non-aligned movement ascendant during Bolsonaro's rise in 2018 with countries like Brazil.
And they identified right-wing populism as being basically this new non-aligned movement that had to be stopped.
And the thing that they said was underpinning it all was free speech on the Internet.
Because that was how you got, you know, truck drivers and, you know, a reality show celebrity could become president over somebody chosen by the mainstream media and the CIA and, you know, the vetted institutions of democracy.
This is what happened with Trump, and this is what happened with Brexit, and this is what happened with Bolsonaro.
Now, so fast forward to 2019, which is really when all this gets really cranked up.
So, Bolsonaro starts to take office, enacts all these right-wing populist nationalist policies.
NATO gets terrified.
Now, NATO has a political action committee, essentially, called the Atlantic Council.
They're technically an independent think tank, but don't believe that for a second.
They call themselves NATO's think tank.
Emphasis there on tank.
Now, they have seven CIA directors on their board.
They get annual funding every year from the Pentagon, the State Department and CIA cutouts like the National Endowment for Democracy.
And they began holding panels and conferences about what to do about the rise of Bolsonaro in Brazil and how to stop it.
And the thing that they identified was is it's Bolsonaro supporters using social media and using end to end encrypted chat messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.
And so by late 2018, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter had already taken a significant amount of action against Bolsonaro supporters in Brazil.
And so they switched to WhatsApp and Telegram.
And the Atlantic Council held these panel conferences about how to install friction.
at the on WhatsApp and Telegram how to do things like cap the number of people in groups, cap the number of messages that can be forwarded in order to stop Bolsonaro supporters from being able to mass communicate with each other and create a stable political movement.
And this is crazy because this is the same State Department that used these very same tools to foment revolutions in places like the Arab Spring and of course, as we all know, Maidan in Ukraine.
This is the exact inverse of what they were doing there.
Got about a minute left, Mike Pence.
It lays bare the utter hypocrisy, and frankly it should be discrediting for an entire century.
And there should be a begging of forgiveness for the next administration to erase the damage that's been done to our diplomacy.
For 250 years we've campaigned around the world on exporting the First Amendment.
And free speech.
And this was very useful to us because this allowed us to have soft power projection into open societies that we forced open under threats of sanctions and under threats of destabilization if they did not let our media in.
And now it took two and a half centuries to build that reputation of credibility to be able to exert that influence.
It took two and a half years under the Biden administration to have that all crumbling down because now we're coercing countries to censor.
How are you ever going to go back and say, well, under our bedrock universal principles, you've got to let in our free speech.
Other countries should be laughing at us.
And again, we should be on an apology tour for a century over this.
Because as it turns out, they were never our principles.
Our principles were always whatever was good for the blob.
Mike Benz continues with us here.
We've got the Eclipse cam up.
The Eclipse stream continues here at Human Events Daily.
Stay tuned.
getting my hands on that book gonna dive into his pages take a closer look it's in a mystery the hidden tales of the communist history i want to know the truth what really went down so i'm jumping on my computer going to pre-order town
All right, Jack Pacific back live human events daily here, Washington, DC.
We're going to have the Eclipse cam up, folks.
Eclipse gang only today.
Got to ask you a question real quick.
How do you survive a communist apocalypse?

There's one thing you're forgetting, and it could make the biggest difference in your future and your family's financial future, and that is checking out today's show sponsor, Allegiance Gold.
Since 2020, Bidenomics has obliterated the American economy.
Imagine what four more years could do to interest rates, debt, and labor disputes.
You need something stable so that you can take a breath and know that your money you earned and the retirement you worked for is safe.
You have to proactively protect your assets so that when the supply chains get rocked and Biden decides to print a few trillion more dollar bills, it won't impact your family's bottom line.
And the only way to do that is with the true beacon of stability that so many patriots use to preserve their wealth.
And that, my friends, is gold.
Over the last five years, it's almost doubled in value, and the way things are going and looking, the sky's the limit.
Allegiance Gold has done things the right way from the beginning, so it's no coincidence that they've earned the highest trust ratings in precious metals industry, five stars with TrustLink, and an A-plus with the Better Business Bureau.

Mike Benz is our guest.
Benz is explaining to us this.
To me, it feels, Mike, like a like a bank shot, a bank shot to go to Brazil, where they know there is a receptive state apparatus and one that doesn't have as much scrutiny as the United States apparatus to effect censorship against Elon Musk ahead of our own election.
Is that really what's going on?
And if so, is there any way that we can stop this?
How do we help Elon?
Yeah, this is the same strategy that the State Department and the Foreign Policy Establishment have used in Europe, where I call that the transatlantic flank attack, which was the move by the State Department exiles of the Hillary Clinton State Department, who were expecting promotions after Hillary Clinton won the presidency in 2016.
And when they were all unceremoniously fired when Trump won the 2016 election, they did a diplomatic roadshow to Europe.
to get the European countries to enact censorship laws following on their same road show to get them to enact sanctions on Russia after the Crimea annexation.
And at the time, these diplomats were openly, these ex-diplomats were openly talking about in these meetings about how the US is barred from doing these censorship activities because of the First Amendment.
But if Europe moves first, and Europe passes these speech laws, then American social media platforms will be forced to censor that activity.
The links will be severed, and there will be, essentially, a mass collateral damage done to U.S.
populist interests, because they'll be cut off from their European counterparts, and they'll be subject to these same new terms of service violations.
That these US platforms will have to enact to comply with European censorship laws.
So they're basically doing the transatlantic blank attack strategy in Europe, in Brazil.
Now, part of this, you know, and this is where it becomes actionable, is because a lot of this comes from our CIA pass-through entities.
The CIA, since the day it was born, has had a blank check to be able to drive, coerce, manipulate, bribe, and control foreign media outlets in order to project soft power influence into other countries.
The CIA has had a long history of bribing editorial desks and setting up its own proprietary media stations in foreign countries.
And here in this case, there's two very big public funding conduits for clandestine CIA activity.
And again, just so that folks understand, don't believe me when I talk about the CIA's role in Brazil.
You can believe our own Secretary of State, essentially.
The Intercept publicly published that Joe Biden's State Department, sorry, Joe Biden's White House deployed the State Department, the Defense Department and the CIA to after the during and in the run up to the Lula versus the Defense Department and the CIA to after the during and in the run up to the Lula versus Bolsonaro election in Brazil in order to have our CIA lean on
Any attempts to challenge a razor close, highly controversial election in Brazil, which had a lot of similarities to our own 2020 election.
So this is the White House spending your taxpayer dollars to deploy the Central Intelligence Agency to stop half of the Brazilian population from being able to challenge their own foreign election.
Now, whose side do you think the CIA was on when they were picking a favorite in a foreign election?
Now, part of this is the censorship story, the inability to challenge the election on social media, because that is how perceptions of illegitimacy are fomented in the modern age.
Now, I knew this was all happening a year before it was publicly reported, and even Bernie Sanders You know, Ashley Sinclair posted a clip just yesterday of Bernie Sanders talking about the CIA role in the Brazilian election.
But I was able to deduce this a full year before it was publicly reported because I was tracing the money from the National Endowment for Democracy and USAID, which are two of the largest overt funding conduits for the Central Intelligence Agency.
Now, it turns out that USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy have a joint program for countering disinformation, which just means censorship.
They've got a whole thing, a project associated with something called CEPPS, and they've set up a network in Brazil in 2018, 2019, that has ballooned in size where USAID and National Endowment for Democracy dollars, again, that CIA passed through month, is funding again, that CIA passed through month, is funding these university centers in Brazil for censorship, funding these civil society nonprofits in Brazil, all for censorship, scanning and banning so-called misinformation.
It's all just proxy political support for taking out Bolsonaro, Pro Bolsonaro accounts on Twitter Facebook YouTube WhatsApp telegram discord twitch everywhere.
Now And they, these NED, these CIA funded institutions, openly talk.
About the nexus between Trumpism and Bolsonaroism.
In our pitching, in their own formal PowerPoint presentations, they're pitching about how cutting off Bolsonaro support in Brazil will undermine Trumpism because of the linkage between those two, and how they amplify each other, and how there's an exchange of ideas between them, and cutting them off will isolate each of them.
Now, in those exact PowerPoint presentations, which, by the way, you can find in a report that I wrote on this two years ago, the report is called U.S.
Tax Dollars Funding Text Message Censorship in Brazil, and it's nominally about how the U.S.
aid and NED dollars are funding the censorship of these text messaging apps, but it goes through the whole backstory of the, you know, archipelago of, you know, of... The disinformation archipelago.
Yes, of CIA back, you know, the NGO constellations there.
So, and we knew this.
We knew that Bill Burns, the CIA director, was going down there and working with these guys, the Supreme Court Justice Alexandre Morales and all this.
So, Ben, what do we do?
Are there any leverage points now that, look, we don't control the State Department, we don't control the CIA, we don't control the Blob, we're not going to control the Blob.
We don't control the White House, we don't control the Senate.
Is there anything that the House can do?
Is there anything we can do as individuals?
What's the plan forward?
If members of the House are brave and do their job and keep their vow to the American people, they will defund USAID and all the pass-through dollars to the National Endowment for Democracy contingent on the total dismantlement
Not one dollar should be eligible of US taxpayer dollars to USAID or to the National Endowment for Democracy or any of the other State Department CIA spinoff groups.
So long as they are involved in the export of the censorship industry around the world, especially in Brazil, but frankly, on every plot of dirt they've now set up, which is over a hundred of the hundred and eighty some countries on this planet now, they have turned the censorship industry into a government subsidized one.
And that is frankly, you know, something that completely destroys our credibility in the First Amendment.
And it's a moral monstrosity, obviously, on all on its own.
And that's really key right there because, as you say, the House, of course, we know they control the purse strings.
They supposedly have oversight over all of these agencies.
And you and I, the last time you were on, we spoke about investigations into things like the Election Integrity Partnership and all these other groups.
The time is late, and I keep saying this to people out there.
I say the time is late, and if you think that we've got more than just a couple of months left to fight this thing, then people need to absolutely wake up right now.
We've got about a minute and a half left.
Mike Benz, tell people what's the single most important thing that they can do to fight back, and then give us your coordinates.
So, number one, amplify this information.
Put pressure on the House Foreign Affairs Committee to hold a hearing on this.
This is something that Jim Jordan did that was very effective at being able to chill a lot of the momentum of the censorship industry was, OK, we're going to have it out in public.
We're going to subpoena you.
We're going to bring you in for transcribed interviews.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee right now can pledge to have an open air hearing about this.
and subpoena members of the State Department, subpoena members of USAID for their role in the disinformation industry in Brazil and have a formal hour and a half hearing on it.
Bring these people in.
Have them testify to the public about their role in subsidizing censorship in Brazil and the targeting, effectively, of a high-profile U.S. individual and their failure to defend U.S. national champions in the tech space in Brazil.
It's as simple as that, folks.
Go follow Mike Banssiber.
This guy's got the roadmap for all of it.
And people say, what's the importance of the roadmap?
If you understand the networks, then you can understand how to disrupt the networks.
Look, when I was the intel officer running counter operations, this is exactly, it was disruption.
Disruption, disruption, disruption.
Find the network, disrupt the network.
F-3-E-A.

Daniel Turner from Power of the Future joins us now as we're Counting down the minutes to the Great Solar Eclipse should be about 10 minutes here.
We're going to try to take it live when it hits East Coast time.
But Daniel Turner wanted to talk to us all about this interesting, I'll call it interesting, decision by President Biden and his administration to not refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Daniel, can you walk us through this?
Yeah, so the Strategic Petroleum Reserves was set up Fifty plus years ago, we were having the Arab oil embargoes of the Carter administration.
And they're a smart move, right?
America needs to be prepared for that Black Swan event.
For example, when Hurricane Katrina hit, it did a lot of damage to the Gulf Coast, our oil and gas operations there.
And we tapped into the reserve for more than 20 days.
Well, Biden depleted our reserves down to about 17 days in 2022.
The emergency being, of course, election.
He did not wanna lose the Senate in the midterms.
And so he did everything necessary to keep oil prices low.
And he understands the basic rules of economics.
If you increase the supply of oil, the price will come down.
So he took oil from the reserves, put them in the open market, oil prices stabilized.
They took that talking point away from the 2022 midterms.
You Yay, Biden won, except America is now incredibly vulnerable.
And he promised he was going to replenish the reserves, but oil prices have continued to go up.
They're around $85 a barrel now.
Oddly, he says it's too expensive.
It's the only time Biden has ever had a threshold of what he can't spend money on, right?
Thank goodness this isn't student loans.
Or the board or, you know, immigration issues, because there's unlimited funds for that, but there's no money to replenish our reserves.
And what we're doing now is now we cross our fingers and we say, all right, we have 20 days of reserves.
Let's hope nothing bad happens, right?
Let's hope there's no terrorist attack.
Let's hope there's no hurricane.
Let's hope something doesn't happen, because if it does, we don't have the oil for more than 20 days.
It's such a dirty use of the American infrastructure for political purposes.
It doesn't surprise me, because this is Joe Biden we're talking about, but it's really, really shameful that this was allowed to happen, and now America's in a pickle.
You know, I remember also that this was the very same situation when President Trump wanted to refill this thing.
Back when gas prices were at their lowest, he said, hey, we should go and make a purchase while we can.
A spot purchase, basically.
And it was the Democrats who blocked him.
Yeah, Chuck Schumer took a lot of pride in that.
Oil was at $35 a barrel.
And the reserves were at 85%.
This was just literally topping them off.
And Trump said, let's fill up the reserves at this low price.
And the Democrats took a lot of pride in this.
We're not going to let Donald Trump and his oil buddies, et cetera, et cetera.
And there was a 35.
And now we're at $85 a barrel.
And we literally can't afford to refill the reserves.
But again, what's the alternative?
What's the delta?
The delta is we play with a magic eight ball and hope Nothing bad happens.
But if it does happen, right, we didn't predict an earthquake a couple days ago.
Who knows what hurricane season will bring?
Who knows what the innumerable number of terrorists Joe Biden has allowed across the southern border?
Who knows what they have planned?
And so now America is not prepared for the inevitable so that Chuck Schumer could stay as leader of the Senate, right?
It's, again, a really dirty, dirty use of the American And what's been the response from the administration?
for political purposes, but they use the CIA for the same thing, they use the FBI for the same thing.
This is not surprising given this administration. - And what's been the response from the administration?
What do they claim is the reason for not wanting to do this? - High prices, just flat out.
The Biden administration said it's too high.
He said he had a plan, but I assumed his plan, he thought oil would begin to tank.
And oil prices were a little lower earlier in the year because China was still very much in lockdown.
China's economy is starting to take off again.
And we are producing around 800,000 barrels a day fewer than we did in January.
Remember back in January there were all these talking points how under Biden we've hit highest Oil production per day, that lasted about a minute.
We're down around 800,000 barrels from that point.
So there's a lot of factors as to why oil prices are starting to climb again, except now we don't have this safety net that has been in place for 50, 60 years, and America is worse off because of it.
By the way, we've got up on the big screen right now.
Looks like the eclipse is just about to happen.
If we can get that a little bit larger, guys.
This is Dallas, Texas.
Wow.
So there you go.
Glasses on, folks.
Glasses on.
Eclipse Cam Live.
Daniel, are you a glasses guy?
You're going no glasses?
You're going straight at it, huh?
Trump style?
I'll do a Trump style for all of four seconds.
I'm really not that fascinated by it, but I will say this, that everyone who's wearing glasses to protect your eyes, those glasses are made from oil.
So thank you to- He got it in there!
Go ahead, go ahead.
You're welcome.
All of you wearing your glasses, including the president, thank you.
And that shot that we have, that's Oklahoma, right guys?
So that is Oklahoma in the middle of the day, you're looking at.
And you can see it is completely dark right there.
You know, Daniel Turner, when we see the darkness falling in the middle of the night like this, by the way, Darkness at Noon, a great anti-communist novel, I should mention, we're facing essentially Darkness at Noon right now by Andrew Koster, a Hungarian novel.
It's only it used to be that human beings had to had to live and work only when the sun was up.
And it's only thanks to like, this is really recent, like the last 150 years, or not even like 112, 115 years that we've been able to work after the sun went down.
Why is that, Daniel?
Yeah, it's again, one of the great developments from fossil fuels, right?
I mean, the very first electricity plants were run with coal, and we still use fossil fuels for 60% of our electricity generation.
We still use a lot of coal because it produces a reliable current, and you can run electric grids because of that.
But yeah, it was not long ago when Edison lit up the New York Times building at night.
And just like people are flocking outside to watch the darkness, early 1900s, maybe late 1800s, people flocked to New York to watch the light because no one had seen a building lit up at night before from electricity.
It's just one of the great advancements of American ingenuity, and all thanks to the fossil fuel industry.
And yet we're making it scarce, we're making it expensive, we're making it unreliable because of this crazy climate agenda.
I actually happen to know a little bit of Pennsylvania fun facts.
The Hotel Edison in Sunbury, Pennsylvania is was the first hotel ever to be lit up by Edison.
Edison's electricity.
And so this is, you know, it's it's northeast Pennsylvania.
And so, you know, not too far geographically from New York City.
And it was a spot where Edison, for whatever reason, they were able to get in.
I don't think it was called the Hotel Edison at the time, but of course, you know, it's taken on the famous moniker of that, of being the first ever hotel that was able to be electrified and lit up.
I didn't stay there once, but I did a breakfast there once many, many years ago.
So stay tuned, folks.
Eclipse coverage right here.
Eclipse Poso Cam, Ron with Daniel Turner, Power of the Future, talking about how it is that humans do not have to live in the darkness anymore.
Stay tuned.
Be right back.
I want to know the truth, what really went down.
I'm jumping on my computer, going to pre-order town. .
Far.
But I got a hankering, a yearning deep inside for this book called Unhumans.
I just can't hide.
All right, Jack Posobiec, we've got the shot there live from Oklahoma.
You can see that's Idabel, Oklahoma.
And that's a live shot you're looking at, folks.
Live shot right now.
Total darkness in the middle of the day.
Daniel Turner from Power of the Future is on with us.
And it's an interesting situation that we find ourselves in because, Daniel, you're talking about how America's electric grid works, how America's power works, how really the modern world has come to be.
And it really has been this this fight, you know, you take the communists out of it for a second.
It's been this fight of like civilization versus Yeah, and it really is one of the most interesting things sociologically and even in terms of business and just human advancement to really dive into.
but how we've been able to go from living in the caves to the world we have now. - Yeah, and it really is one of the most interesting things sociologically and even in terms of business and just human advancement to really dive into.
And you can start the easiest way, watch old episodes of "Little House on the Prairie," right?
And watch what it was like when the sun set and how there was nothing to do.
There was no work that could be done.
You know, even reading by candlelight was too difficult.
And so you sat around and played the fiddle and told stories and you went to bed.
And there's there's so much has come from make hay while the sun shines.
Right.
There are expressions that we use in our.
There's a million of them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's a million expressions like that.
Actually, you know what else?
Burning the midnight oil.
Yeah.
A perfect one.
Exactly.
So many of them.
And that's changed.
And when you think of if humans have been on this earth for, you know, 70,000, 10 to 10,000 years, there's anthropological arguments as to when humanity actually, but we've been on this earth for quite some time.
Oh, we could, we could have a fun episode about those.
However long we've been on this earth.
It's been Daniel Turner's going Graham Hancock on us, folks.
This is about to get interesting.
Let's go back to the ancient Egyptians, right?
So at least we'll go back 7,000 years.
Who really built the pyramids?
Who really built them?
We'll see.
We'll see.
It's only been 120 years that we've had light.
It's a blip.
It's a tiny little blip in terms of all of human civilization.
A tiny, just like infinitesimal.
And if you put it on a longer scale like that, you know, going back even 5,000 years, 6,000 years, it's nothing.
It isn't even a fraction of a fraction.
It is, and when you add it to other huge advancements in technology, the Gutenberg printing press, right?
That took hundreds of years for it to catch up that books were readily available.
We've done this overnight, right?
We've done it so fast, and it also, now we're totally going down a rabbit hole.
But it's also why we're having so many sociological problems.
It's new that your little children have this device that has every little bit of information at their fingertips.
Not my little children, man.
It's changing the way we process.
It's changing the way we interact.
It's changing the way we deal with one another.
It's changing our levels of patience.
Right, if the Uber doesn't arrive with a pizza in four minutes, zero stars, right?
Oh my gosh, zero stars, yeah, yeah.
Oh, this just wasn't left to the right step on my doorstep, oh gosh.
Exactly.
And so this technology, by the way, I can't I can't let you I can't let you go without saying this with the thing about the little kids and the and the devices.
One of the reasons that we don't let our kids have devices and I don't even know when I'm like you can get one when you can afford to buy one yourself is kind of where I'm at right now.
And then even then we'll see.
But it's kind of like people say, I've seen parents do this, man.
They'll go, oh, my kid is so smart.
He can work an iPad.
He can work an iPhone.
I said, okay, do you realize that they train the intuitiveness of those things on monkeys?
And so because they want to make it as easy as possible for anyone to use.
So they literally use like a lower life form to be able to use these things.
I'm getting media matters for that one.
And so it is not a good sign that your kid is like, oh, look, he knows how to buy stuff.
He knows how to purchase.
No, right?
That's how you get locked in.
And so we have this incredible advancement because of technology, but at the same time we have to use it responsibly, especially when it comes to our kids.
But the flip side of it though, and I'll build it up now, the flip side of it is child mortality has gone down so much in just the last hundred years.
People don't even realize how bad it used to be for kids out there.
That's why families had so many kids.
100%.
And those are all, again, advancements of fossil fuels in terms of medicine, in terms of hygiene, of food production, right?
When you think of- Being able to get to a hospital.
Yeah.
Regardless of how long we've been on this Earth, for the vast majority of it, we've been cold, hungry, poor, sick, right?
Life on this Earth has been a drudgery, as Job said.
It's really only the last 150 years that our wealth and prosperity because of fossil fuels has brought us to this livelihood.
And that's absolutely remarkable.
And why we have to fight, why I fight for the fossil fuel industry left and right.
It's not about oil and gas.
It's not about convenience.
It really is about human dignity. - It's a human advancement. - Yep, 100%.
Human dignity, human advancement.
I mean, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin, even forget those guys, the King George himself, the king of the British Empire, the largest, you know, non-contiguous empire we ever want to call it that the world has ever seen.
Did not have access to the things that the average person has access to right now.
And it is built on our ready supply of energy.
It is built on us unlocking these forms of energy.
And people don't even realize this stuff was only discovered like 150 years ago.
It was like yesterday, literally discovered yesterday.
And because we keep, and Elon Musk talked about this recently, only a minute left, but this is fascinating.
We've got to get you back on.
The issue is that we keep recalibrating our standards so quickly.
We keep recalibrating, and so the next generation doesn't know how bad it was, and so they just recalibrate.
That's a great point.
We look at how we define even poverty in America, and then you travel the rest of the world and you say, wow, America's poor live better than the middle class in most countries.
Now, that doesn't mean we can't always be better, but we change our standards so much and so quickly that we actually forget how good we have it.
I've seen stuff in Southeast Asia, South Vietnam, Central China, stuff that—levels of poverty that the average American cannot even begin to comprehend.
Daniel Turner, where can people go to follow you?
Powerofthefuture.com.
Always great to be on with you, Jack.
Thank you.
God bless.
Daniel Turner.
Remember, everyone, the future is bright.
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission.
Later, sure.
The truth what really went down, so I'm jumping on my computer, going to pre-order town.
Pre-Order in Los Angeles.
Can't wait to get my hands on that book.
Gonna dive into his pages.
