Get your tickets and then go to unhumansbook.com to come to a special meet and greet for the launch party of The Unhumans Book with myself and Joshua Lysak.
I'll see you there in Detroit!
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.
Deliver us from evil!
Israel ramps up its offensive against Hamas and Rafa.
They're going to Rafa.
I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafa.
To deal with the cities, to deal with that problem.
For those of us who understand what's at stake, and I don't mean that in a derogatory way to others, but if you've been in this world, as you and I have, and you've studied it and you've watched it, it is a very difficult time right now.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
And the people in our country, it looks as though, will most likely go to vote without knowing the outcome of these Other very serious trials.
But I mean, the key question is, is anything going to happen before the election?
And I think the answer is no.
The days of magical legal thinking are over.
The cavalry is not coming.
The legal cavalry is not coming to the rescue of Joe Biden.
Barron Trump, the youngest child of former President Donald Trump, is getting ready to step into the political spotlight.
The 18-year-old was picked by the Republican Party of Florida as one of the state's at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention.
Overnight, Mike Johnson surviving a push to oust him as speaker after Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene forced a vote to remove him.
This is the uniparty for the American people watching.
Look at the Michigan survey.
For 65% of the American people think they're in good shape economically.
They think the nation's not in good shape, but they're personally in good shape.
The polling data has been wrong all along.
How many of you guys do a poll with CNN?
How many folks do you have to call to get one response?
The idea that we're in a situation where things are so bad Folks, I mean, we've created more jobs.
We're in a situation where people have access to good-paying jobs.
When I started this administration, people were saying there's going to be a collapse of the economy.
We have the strongest economy in the world.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live from Washington, D.C.
Today is May 9th, 2024.
Anno Domini.
I want to read for you a tweet from Unusual Whales.
And that's a great account.
If you're not following them already, they do incredible work.
They do a lot of original importing as well.
So please go and follow them immediately.
Here's the tweet from Unusual Whales posted this morning.
A surge in immigration has made the U.S.
economy more competitive by preventing wages from rising more than they otherwise would have, the head of the International Monetary Fund has said.
gee, sounds a lot like she's saying the great replacement is in full effect.
We go through into, and the Wall Street Journal has the article on this, and here's the headline.
Immigration held U.S. wage pressures in check, IMF Chief Georgieva says.
Asked to explain why U.S.
economic growth is currently outpacing Europe, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva cited abundant labor coming across the border alongside innovation and relatively moderate energy prices.
She then commented, creates a domestic political problem, just a little bit of one.
Not everybody who crosses the border adds positively to the economy, but that labor supply also gave the United States another comparative advantage.
Wages are not pushing up because there is no strong pressure because of lack of labor.
Some 7.7 unauthorized illegal migrants have crossed the southwest border since Joe Biden took office, according to Customs and Border Protection.
Economists say the numbers are big enough to meaningfully change the U.S.
labor force.
So there you go, folks.
There you go.
When are people going to wake up?
And the UK has a report that's out this morning.
Right there, you can read it in the Telegraph.
Migration has failed to drive economic growth, warns report.
And this is from former Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick.
You see, here's what's going on.
The higher immigration is pushing down wages, which of course creates competition for housing prices, which of course creates competition for all of the vast supply here.
What does this mean?
This means housing prices go up.
This means the healthcare prices go up.
This means all of the things go up, except for the stuff that's actually made in the United States, which isn't very much, because wages are down.
Who does this benefit?
Whose higher prices benefit?
Who does this quote-unquote comparative advantage Benefit?
Well, it benefits the 1%.
It benefits the elites.
It benefits everyone at the top at the expense of everyone else who lives in the country.
Guess what?
They view you as debt pigs.
They view you as debt slaves.
Do you want to wake up?
Do you want a country that you can grow a family in?
Shut down immigration.
Be right back.

Jack, so like where's Jack?
Yeah, he's got a great job.
Our job so we back live here.
Human events daily.
I want to also say that we have a special guest live from New York City who's just outside the courtroom.
The Alvin Bragg trial against President Trump.
All of the greatness of Stormy Daniels, folks.
We have the excellent Andrew Giuliani joining us now.
Andrew, tell us what's the latest at the court.
Well, Jack, no pun intended, but I think anybody who was in that courtroom unbiasedly had to look and say, Susan Necholas certainly undressed Stormy Daniels, the witness there, because she proved time and time again the amount of times that Stormy Daniels' story has changed about the alleged sexual encounter between Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels in 2006.
She pointed out that in some cases, Donald Trump was sitting on the bed.
In other cases, he stood up and greeted her.
A couple really key points, though, that Susan Necklace, Trump's attorney, pointed out.
Stormy Daniels, after she said that Donald Trump and her had sex, after she violated the non-disclosure agreement, Stormy Daniels said to, I believe it was In Touch magazine, but certainly one of the outlets, that she never ever felt threatened by Donald Trump at all.
Now, that is in opposition to her testimony that she gave, where she felt that she was You know, tingling, and she felt that she was going to pass out because she felt threatened by Donald Trump.
So, an example of after she said that they had sex, of her actually going and saying something different than was on her testimony.
Another very key part that happened this morning here was at the very, very end of the cross-examination, Susan Necholas asked Is it true?
Is it the reason why your story continues to change time and time again because you, in fact, never had sex with Donald Trump?
There was an objection.
The judge, of course, sustained the objection, but the jury got to hear exactly what the Trump team was suggesting, which was this, in fact, is a fictional story that Stormy Daniels has continued to propagate.
She's changed her story so many times.
I think at one point she was even saying she blacked out.
She couldn't remember what happened.
Now all of a sudden she has all of these details, but the details keep shifting.
Look, you know, I spent a year at Guantanamo Bay.
That's exactly what you would do when you're when you're cross-examining someone is you go over the details again and see if the story changes.
Now, let me ask you, as you're in there, you know, not I want to get into the personals of the jury, but were you able to see was the jury buying it?
Did they seem like they thought that Stormy Daniels was a credible witness?
Because you go over to MSNBC and they're like, I mean, Lawrence O'Donnell and these guys are in love with her.
How does the jury seem to be receiving this?
Well, first, I have to agree with the president that Lawrence O'Donnell has had better days in terms of his looks.
The jury, in terms of how they're receiving it, I must say they have a very good poker face.
You can tell that the judge has basically told them that, hey, no reactions to all this.
They have not reacted.
You've actually seen much of the mainstream media laugh and giggle like a bunch of kindergartners in a health class, for example.
But the jury does not seem to react to any of this, whether you'd consider it to be good for President Trump or some of the smut-shaming incidents that the prosecution brought up just a few short days ago.
The other point that was made here was when Stormy Daniels talked about how she felt like she was going to pass out right after the sexual encounter, Susan Nicholas said, well, isn't it true that you've been a part of, you've acted, and that you have directed over 200 pornographic films.
That seems to be very strange that you would take that approach, that you would feel that way, considering this is your profession.
What Susan Nicholas also then asked at that point and suggested to the jury, which I thought was very, very effective, was the fact that Stormy Daniels does in fact act, if you call pornography acting, but she is an actress in her professional life.
And this is something that she has trained herself to do.
But yeah, I think we can all fill in the blank on that one.
in front of them today. - You know, I could make a lot of seedy comments based on that, but I'm not gonna go there because this isn't that kind of program, Andrew.
But yeah, I think we can all fill in the blank on that one.
Let me ask you though, take a step back.
In the situation that we're in right now, in the situation the United States is in, the situation our country is in, does it make sense that it feels like everything that our country stands for, everything that we're fighting for in terms of Western civilization, that the great city of New York that your father fought to restore from where it was in the 1980s to where it is now, that all of this is now somehow riding on the word of Stormy Daniels and this kind of trial?
Well, Jack, this almost feels a little bit like the evolution of society if you look at this.
And certainly when you see just the facts of this case, that there's still no underlying felony that the prosecution has pointed out, what's alleged here, the statute of limitations has expired on, that underlying would be a misdemeanor.
The Southern District of New York, the Biden Justice Department, at first did not bring this up.
Cy Vance, the former district attorney, Jack, Did not bring this up.
Alvin Bragg didn't even bring this up in the beginning of his tenure as district attorney.
It took for Donald Trump to be the leading candidate for president, for Alvin Bragg to approach this again.
And now you have on the prosecution's team a guy who actually was the number three guy at the U.S.
Justice Department taking a demotion that has never happened in the history of our legal system to become a lowly assistant district attorney here in Manhattan just to try this case.
So it really is sad when you look at it, not just from a New York perspective and everything that New York really was 10, 15 years ago, the center of the world, a place that businesses, people, tourists were flocking to.
Now we know that businesses are moving to red states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee, just like they are from California.
But when you see what's happening to our legal system here, and New York is a prime example, I think, frankly, though, what's really happening, Jack, is you're seeing more and more independent-minded people look and say, hey, look, maybe we didn't love some of Trump's tweets in 2020, but guess what?
We know that our quality of life was far better with Donald Trump.
We know he was one of the greatest presidents ever, and we don't want to place a country that's going to ultimately go after their political opponents using the legal system.
Well, it's as simple as that.
And then, of course, we also have not.
I mean, this is a huge, a huge factor that I don't see many people, even even, you know, my libertarian buddies who are always complaining about the power of the state.
All right.
Well, we've got a situation here where the leading candidate for the opposition is not able to be on the campaign trail because of state force that has removed him from that campaign trail and put him in this.
I mean, I'm sorry, if they wanted to bring this up in terms of a legal case and say there were some, some business filings that amounted to campaign finance, why would you bring up Stormy Daniels, as you say, an adult actress who's been in all these films and And turn all this into the lurid three-ring circus that they have.
I'm not really sure what the plan was here, but if this is the best that they got, I don't think the American people are going to buy it, quite frankly, when they see what's going on on campuses, when they see what's going on in Ukraine and Russia and Israel and Gaza.
To put all of that in terms of this kind of nonsense, it's a joke.
It looks like a joke, and I don't think people are buying it at home.
Yeah, and Jack, you can even see it, I think, in President Trump's body language.
Every time that he's walked out of the court over the last two days, he looks like a parading general, I would say, more than anything.
It's certainly changed over this week than it was last week.
I think he's realizing That the arguments are falling flat, that there certainly is no legal basis.
This ends up being really a smut shaming, if you will, of Donald Trump.
And that's kind of what they're going for in all this.
And by the way, it's nothing that people didn't hear about in the previous couple of elections.
So I think you're absolutely right, Jack.
I think this only has given Donald Trump more and more momentum.
And as you compare the Biden record of open borders, of migrants just Up the block over here from where we're standing right now, legal immigrants coming into New York, and now New York basically effectively being a southern border state.
I think even New Yorkers, which is a deep blue state, are starting to look and say, you know what?
Life is a lot better under Donald Trump.
Maybe, maybe we should give him another chance.
And there really is something about, let me ask you this, because you were around for longer than any of us in terms of this, you saw how Donald Trump and your father restored New York City to the shining city that it has been, or at least it was, I should say, in the 1990s.
Do you notice, and this is something that I see, it seems like there's a difference between Florida Trump and New York Trump, and I think you know what I mean.
Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.
First off, this will make your libertarian buddies happy, but the way that I look at New York in particular is if government doesn't screw it up too much, then New York is going to thrive.
New York just has too many natural things going for it.
The problem with New York, when it hasn't thrived at different points over the last 50 years, including the last 10 years, it's because government has messed it up.
And I think what you see in President Trump, in terms of Florida Trump versus New York Trump, is you have a guy in New York who is continually getting persecuted through prosecution.
And he realizes that the facts do not matter, whether it's this case, whether it's the other political persecutions, high prosecutions that he's going through.
And I think in Florida, he realizes he's around more and more of his friends, more and more of his allies.
He can actually conduct his business without being indicted over, I don't know, taking a tissue and, you know, blowing his nose with it.
With that being said, though, and this is a very interesting kind of Yes!
And you and I, when we were last together, Jack, we were sitting at the New York Young Republicans Gala, actually only a few blocks from where we are right now.
There is a certain life force to Donald Trump when he gets back in the Big Apple.
There's a certain, you know, yes, you can say that he feels when he's walking the streets of New York and he's around his New Yorkers.
As you know, we have a reputation, us New Yorkers.
I probably don't do anything to quell that reputation.
And I think Donald Trump certainly embodies that for the good and you could argue for some of the bad, but I do too.
So...
Couldn't agree more.
Andrew Giuliani, you're doing the yeoman's work down there at the courthouse.
We appreciate your staying, being there with the president.
We hear Senator Rick Scott is there as well.
Couldn't agree more.
President Trump in the city that he helped build, like half the buildings that are up there, it's where he has the tower with his own name on it.
I'm telling you, he draws energy from those very streets.
New events daily, we'll be right back with more.

But there's one person to whom this is not news at all because she was leading the charge out in front telling you and forecasting every single step of the way what would happen.
Her name is Julie Kelly.
She joins us now.
Julie, how are you?
Good, Jack.
How are you?
Thanks for meeting me today.
Well, I gotta ask, how does it feel to have been proven completely 100% right?
I mean, Jack, this is what I tell my husband every day.
I'm right.
That you're always right?
My wife always says that, too.
And of course she is.
Tanya Tay.
Let me just say, Tanya Tay, I know you're watching.
Of course you're always right, darling.
Yes, you are, dear.
Yeah, so, I mean, look, these are not things that you necessarily want to be right about, but when you've covered this DOJ and FBI and these prosecutors and covered these trials in Washington and understand what these people are all about, then, unfortunately, you have the insight and can predict what is going to happen.
And, unfortunately, it's playing out just exactly how dirty and corrupt Jack Smith is, and, you know, some of these judges, with the exception of Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida.
And so when we're looking at this, is it interesting to you or is it fun to you to actually watch these people like Andrew Weissman and others going up on MSNBC?
Because here's what's amazing, is they're doing everything they can to not talk about the other lawfare that's completely falling apart.
I've noticed the one person who's at least admitted it is Josh Gerstein in Politico because he's able to hide his far-left leanings a little bit closer than some others.
but I know Josh, he's just as Antifa as the rest of them.
And, but these other guys, it's amazing to me that they're like, oh, oh, trust me, trust me.
I've, I could tell you some stories offline about old Josh.
He puts on a very good face, yes, he does.
Much better than the rest of them.
But these other guys, they're suddenly going up there acting like Stormy Daniels.
And you just heard Andrew Giuliani.
We had him on.
He's in the courtroom.
He said that her story's all over the place.
They're admitting that, you know, she's had to admit that obviously she is an actress, which again, in those types of films, we don't have to say the kind of things that she might be acting out.
But the testimony from a legal perspective just looks like a complete clown show.
It totally does.
And I mean, most Americans, and I think plenty of Democrats, look at this and are completely disgusted with what's playing out in that courtroom and thinking, what does this have to do with, you know, fraudulent record keeping?
So I think, but look, Andrew Weissman, the Barbara McQuaids, Glenn Kirshner, all of them, we know that they're all in cahoots.
They have this weekly conference call where they hammer out their talking points.
Orange Tribe, Norm Eisen, That whole dork, you know, AV crew of alleged former feds.
Not alleged former feds, they are former feds.
They are the feds!
They're holding meetings talking about what the feds should do.
This is like the brain trust of the deep state.
It is, and I mean, Jack, but let's take a step back.
These are not impressive people, okay?
No.
Andrew Weissman, Norm Eisen, I mean, you could literally break them in half, first of all.
Talk about misogyny.
These are not scary people.
Yes, they have a lot of power, but at the end of the day, they have the emotional maturity of, you know, junior high girls.
So they all get on these calls together and they all talk about, you know, Donald Trump and Aileen Cannon and this, you know, how bad they are.
We need to go get them and we need to.
That's how they act.
That's how they behave.
And that's how they talk.
So, again, we should be glad that these are our enemies right now, because they're not impressive people physically, mentally, emotionally.
I mean, they have these breakdowns on MSNBC.
Norm Eisenberg practically losing his mind over Judge Cannon not setting a trial date.
Like, is this really the worst thing that's ever happened in your life?
You're acting like your dog just died.
Relax, dude.
It's a trial date.
But this is why they are defending what's happening in Manhattan.
They want Judge Cannon to recuse because they're not getting their way there.
They're mad at the Supreme Court because it looks like they're going to send this immunity issue back to the lower courts, which will again delay what's happening in Washington, the J6 case against Donald Trump.
So they really thought they were going to be knocking out all these convictions, and it's not materializing how they envisioned certainly what they did to participate in planning it.
You know, and of all people, the video that I saw recently, a guy who's not a Trump supporter at all, Dick Van Dyke, the actual Dick Van Dyke, who's still around, who's still kicking at 98, who's like a Bernie Sanders, lefty kind of guy, came out and he even pointed out, he said, wait a minute, the Supreme Court has totally derailed all of these cases.
Donald Trump has a clear path now to the White House, and yet the media won't admit it.
And they feel, it feels like they're manipulating things.
So Julie, do you think, what's the next step?
Are they going to eventually admit it or just turn around and start calling the court corrupt?
No, I don't think that they're going to back off at all.
I mean, you might have a few peel off.
I think Ellie Honig maybe was on CNN last night saying how this is really backfiring, a really bad idea.
But they're certainly not going to give up on the classified documents case and continuing to trash Judge Aileen Cannon.
Even though, Jack, she is turning the table, she will be holding a series of hearings over the next few months that basically, in a way, Jack, puts Jack Smith and the DOJ on trial.
So she is going to blow open the collusion between the Biden White House, the DOJ, the National Archives, the FBI, in putting, concocting this case starting way back in early 2021.
She's also going to hold hearings on a motion for selective vindictive prosecution.
So that is going to be in the mix and she's going to hold these hearings in her courtroom and the press is going to have to cover it because this is going to be the only game in town as they wait for the Supreme Court opinion.
on immunity and obstruction.
So, um, that's that's not something that anyone predicted.
Certainly, I was not predicting it.
Um, but who would have predicted that Judge Cannon would be the most courageous judge in America right now?
Well, now, Julie, walk us through a little bit.
We have you for a couple more minutes.
Walk us through the mini trial of Jack Smith as you lay it out.
So I'm going to start and I have a piece of real clear investigations if people want to check this out.
It gives a timeline of 2021.
How despite Merrick Garland and Joe Biden's protests to the contrary, the Biden White House, General Counsel Dana Remus, Deputy General Counsel Jonathan Sue, probably Ron Klain, the then Chief of Staff, were in correspondence having meetings with archive officials Who were trying to, what it looks like, Jack, manufacture a records destruction charge against Donald Trump in 2021.
So they were deeply involved in how to put this case together, working with the archives in 2021 on some sort of criminal referral to DOJ, claiming that Donald Trump didn't turn over government records.
You have the General Counsel, Of the archives, both of whom, the Archivist and General Counsel, public Trump haters of Donald Trump, of course, they're in Washington, saying that he was in informal talks with the Department of Justice in 2021.
So you've got the same players, right, Jack?
The same people.
The DOJ is back in it.
You replace the intelligence community with the archives, you know, go back to the whistleblower scandal of 2018-2019.
It's the same people, same groups, but they were behind the scenes putting this together.
The interest here is that the defense in the classified documents, Donald Trump's team, they want, they're saying all of these entities were part of the prosecution.
We want all the discovery evidence related to this case.
Any emails, any meetings, any paper trail that shows this collusion or how they were putting this together.
They have some, but they want all of it.
And she's going to hold hearings at the end of June, three days of hearings on this motion, what they call, to determine the scope of the prosecution team.
So this will, like I said, be a mini trial, not against Donald Trump, but against DOJ, the Archives, and the Biden White House.
Okay, so this is huge.
And people need to understand, the mini-trial of Jack Smith, this actually turns the tables, it takes up some of these motions, and by the way, points out the fact that Jack Smith was never confirmed by the United States Senate.
He didn't follow the process that special counsels are supposed to follow.
And this is a huge piece that speaks directly to the constitutionality of his appointment.
Well, on June 21st, so this is the day before the three-day hearing the following week, June 21st, Judge Cannon has scheduled a hearing on the motion to dismiss based on the unlawful appointment of Jack Smith, which of course, as you know, Donald Trump's lawyers filed that.
This is based on an Amici brief filed by former Attorney General Ed Meese before the Supreme Court, arguing exactly what you said.
His appointment is unlawful because There's no federal statute that permits someone, to your point, all former special counsels were approved by the Senate in their capacity as U.S.
attorneys, assistant U.S.
attorneys.
Jeff Smith was never that.
So that hearing will be June 21st.
So next month is going to be a hot time in Judge Cannon's courtroom, and I will be there as much as I can to cover it.
Absolutely amazing, going all the way up to the Supreme Court.
Julie, do you have a second?
Can we hold you for another second?
Because I want to explain this out to people later.
All right, we're going to hold her over, folks.
The great Julie Kelly is here with us.
We are going through how this law fair might actually get turned against the prosecutor.
Stay tuned.
Where's Jack?
Where's Jack?
Where is he?
Jack, I want to see you.
Great job, Jack.
Thank you.
What a job you do.
You know, we have an incredible thing.
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting policies.

So, Julie Kelly, We're walking through some of this, and even from my own understanding, because there's a lot to keep track of.
All of these cases, from the Supreme Court appeals to the Georgia appeals, which we haven't even really talked about, even down now to the Eileen Cannon case, So many of these are inextricably linked.
And a lot of this is because, as you've outlined in real time here coming on this program and in your writings, that the Jack Smith cases, at least against Trump, have been completely rushed.
This is why Trump's legal team has been able to make, and many people outside the legal team like Ed Meese and others, have been able to make these very serious, very damning holes that they're punching in these arguments.
Walk us through how this argument before the Supreme Court has led to something directly affected in the Eileen Cannon Mar-a-Lago case.
So, the Supreme Court, as you know, held oral arguments last month related to the unprecedented question is a former president immune from criminal prosecution for his acts in office that originated out of Jack Smith indictment against Donald Trump in Washington.
Related to the events of January 6th and alleged attempts to quote-unquote overturn the 2020 election because the elements of the indictment involve conduct in office.
Then, of course, this is where this is headed.
You know, it was always going to go to the Supreme Court because this has never happened before.
You know, there is no law.
There is no case law that that decides this question.
It's history making.
So that was presented to the Supreme Court.
There were briefs filed, obviously, over months before oral arguments.
One of the briefs was filed by former Attorney General Edwin Meese, and he said, we're taking no side in this particular matter, this indictment.
However, we are saying that Jack Smith has no authority to bring any of these indictments because there's no guiding federal statute that was approved by Congress, and he was not approved by Congress.
Meaning he should have been cleared by the U.S.
Senate, like any assistant U.S.
attorney is, like every other special counsel has been an assistant U.S.
attorney, Robert Kerr, for example, and Jack Smith was not.
So what's interesting, Jack, is that Clarence Thomas brought that up during oral argument, and he asked Trump's lawyer in the immunity matter, did you also raise in your briefing that Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed?
Now, Trump's lawyer, John Carroll, said no, but certainly that's a question before the court.
Now, this is something that I noticed as well, because Thomas, of course, famously is not long-winded when he's giving questions.
He has been a little bit more lately, but when he says something, he's always referencing 10 other things.
So you really have to read into those, and obviously Mike Davis has told me I mean, Jack, I'm not a Supreme Court watcher, really, until the last few issues that have been presented to the Court.
Well, you've become one.
your understanding then that when he's making that comment during the oral arguments that he is in fact trying to highlight this very issue and probably and I'm sure is well familiar with the Amici brief it seems so I mean Jack I'm not a Supreme Court watcher really you know the last few uh issues that have been presented to the court you've become one you've become one
Julie I have I have but I and I also listen to people like you and Mike Davis and others who are familiar with how the court works and how the justices signal their their thinking process So, I mean, I have to think that the Supreme Court, when you get a detailed Amici brief from Ed Meese, and I believe Mike, is that Mike Casey?
I'm sorry.
Yeah, Mike Amici, that's right.
He also joined in on that brief as well.
That they're going to read it and pay attention to what they're saying.
Individuals like that, they're not Trump supporters by any measure, but they're not going to file something like that just gratuitously.
But that is going to be a hearing that Judge Cannon is going to hold on June 21st, and we're going to have to watch Jack Smith, or Jay Bratt, his prosecutor, explain why Jack Smith was lawfully appointed.
And I'm not sure how much ground they have there to successfully make that argument.
So these are all motions to dismiss.
If she concludes, or the Supreme Court comes back, and they could come back with an immunity ruling before this June 21st hearing in Judge Cannon's courtroom, if they come back with an opinion no one really is expecting, and that is the indictment is dead because Jack Smith was not lawfully appointed, Um, you know, obviously he's dead in the water in both cases against Donald Trump will be immediately dismissed.
So we could have some signal from the court even before this June 21st hearing on Jack Smith's unlawful appointment.
And this is huge because even if Thomas isn't able to get to a 5-4 majority on that question, the idea that it's out there clearly gives the courts and gives Donald Trump and his team, which they're already using, to your point, leverage at these lower court levels where now they can go to the trial judge and ask the question.
And depending on her answer, they can go to the appeals court and ask the question, all of which drives the potential trial date further and further, which of course is what Judge Cannon stated when she pulled the trial date, because these are serious issues.
And Julie, let's throw the politics out over here.
If this were any other president, there'd be no question we would have those same people that you just mentioned on TV every single night saying, how dare the Republicans put this former president on trial without going through all these very serious constitutional issues.
Exactly right.
I mean, the idea that it's laughable, you know, to think, to listen to the Andrew Weissmans or Barbara McQuaid or Lawrence Tribe, whoever it is, say, you know, this is a cut and dry, this is a black and white issue.
Of course the president can be criminally prosecuted.
And then you go, and this is another thing that the justices were very concerned with.
These are not specific crimes that Donald Trump is charged with in Washington for January 6th.
You're talking about three vague conspiracy charges and one obstruction count that is also under review by the Supreme Court.
The obstruction of an official proceeding, 1512c2.
They could toss that as well.
And that actually, the 1512c2 represents half of Jack Smith's four-count indictment.
So it's not like Donald Trump is charged with murdering someone in the Oval Office.
He's not charged with drug running, right?
He's not charged with even, you know, sticking up at 7-Eleven.
These are the vaguest, and I think it was Judge Gorsuch, and I believe Justice Alito, who were talking about, well, if we apply these vague statutes with this really broad language to this conduct, it can be used in anything going forward with a president.
You know, a president conspires with his attorney general or his secretary of defense to launch a little skirmish overseas because he's down in the polls.
All right.
Is that going to be conspiracy to defraud the United States?
That's the number one charge in Jack Smith's indictment.
These are non-specific, vague offenses.
So that is where the Supreme Court is.
So you could see this falling apart in any number of ways before the Supreme Court.
But Judge Aileen Cannon is doing her part in Florida also to Expose the likelihood that Jack Smith should not be doing what he's doing because he has no authority to do so.
And also this potential conspiracy, which is a legit criminal conspiracy to work behind the scenes with the Biden White House to entrap Donald Trump and his team into some sort of record crime.
Julie Kelly, you have been always looking around the corner telling us exactly what's on the horizon.
Where can people go to follow you and get all the latest?
Trust me, I look around all the corners now, Jack.
I'm at Suspect Declassified with Julie Kelly.
Real clear investigations.
Recent reporting on this case and Judge Cannon.
People can find there.
And then, of course, Twitter at Julie underscore Kelly, too.
The great Julie Kelly.
She deserves an award for her legal reporting, folks.
An absolute reward.
Next, coming up, the next senator from Utah.
...in my ear about the boring people at your office.
I'm trying to listen to the new Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
Alright, Jack Posobiec back live, Human Events Daily.
Very honored to have on here the next senator from the great state of Utah.
He's currently a mayor.
His name is Trent Staggs.
He's been endorsed by President Trump and endorsed by the party.
Mayor, incredible to have you on, and congratulations, I have to say, on all the recent success.
Well, thank you very much.
Yeah, we've been working hard at it the last year.
You know, we announced my candidacy last May, about a year ago, and the only one willing to challenge Mitt Romney.
And, you know, that type of resolve, that type of courage has been, I think, rewarded by clearly the delegates here in our state.
And that's something they want to see.
They want to be able to have us go back and join the ranks of some great America First senators and people in D.C.
that are going to get this country back on track because we have very little runway left.
Now tell us, what was it like when you got the endorsement?
How does that work from President Trump?
Do you get a call from one of the staffers?
Is it a campaign manager?
You know, I don't know how it works in other areas, but for other candidates, but I got a phone call personally from President Trump.
We were, I was on my way to the state convention, the state GOP convention at about 630 in the morning, my time, surprisingly got a phone call.
And President Trump there was gracious enough to offer me his complete and total endorsement, he said.
And that's just, it's remarkable.
Had a huge, huge impact in our state convention.
We thought we were campaigning well and doing well, but getting that endorsement the morning of, we were able to walk away with a 70% win.
So 70% of the delegates that supported who I was there, the vote, For for their nominee, their choice for nominee in this seat for the US Senate.
And so that was something historic.
We've never had an open Senate convention seat like this.
That's garnered more than 60% of the delegate vote.
And, you know, before, if you if you cross that threshold and get over 60%, then you actually win the endorsement of the state party.
Well, I think it's great.
I think it's high time that Utah gets two Republican senators representing them in the U.S.
is something else and we're ready to go.
We've got a primary here June 25th in about six and a half weeks.
And in a state like Utah, whoever wins this Republican primary will be the next US Senator.
And we feel like we're very well positioned and on track to do that. - Well, I think it's great.
I think it's high time that Utah gets two Republican senators representing them in the US Senate. - That's right.
We've been saying from the beginning, Massachusetts doesn't need a third senator.
Mitt Romney can go.
I was the one willing to challenge him and take him on.
It was my stated goal last May when I announced that I wanted to primary Mitt Romney.
He made the decision not to seek re-election late September, around the 1st of October.
So we think that Our campaigning, our reminding of Utahns, of the promises he made and the commitments he made and did not keep five plus years later now, is what largely contributed to him saying, you know what, I see the writing on the wall.
We don't think we can win.
So he decided not to seek reelection.
When it comes to the state of Utah, though, looking forward, what are some of the issues at the federal level that you're hearing from people on the ground?
Oh, boy.
I'm hearing border and budget constantly.
We've got to take care of this border.
It's out of control.
I mean, the population of the state of Utah is 3.2 million people, and we've had some 7 to 10 million or more, we think, come in.
You know, guesstimates range pretty wildly, but that's three times the size of our state, I think, in terms of the invasion at the border.
This Biden administration has been horrific.
We've got to get back.
Get President Trump back in office, and we've got to have a supporting staff there, a supporting cast of senators and representatives that are willing to have his back, unlike Mitt Romney, who didn't help him with the completion of the border wall, and get a great Homeland Secretary in place.
I mean, Romney was one of five, I think, Republicans that voted to confirm Secretary Mayorkas, who has been a complete disaster, beyond incompetent, and he should have been impeached.
We need that border wall, the remain in Mexico and all the great policies that were implemented under President Trump.
We've got to have E-Verify.
We've got to stop having benefits go to illegal immigrants.
Stop rewarding illegality.
Let's reward legality, the legal process which we've got defined for immigration.
And we do those things.
We'll secure that up.
The budget?
Huge.
I mean, when I announced my candidacy a year ago, we were at $32 trillion in debt.
We're now at $35 trillion in debt.
We hit $50 trillion.
It's projected in 2030, so which is within the term of the Senate seat.
And we're going to hit hyperinflation.
Asset bases, I think, will be destroyed.
We're going to be really putting people that live on a fixed income in particular.
We're going to be putting them in a very, very hard spot.
And so we need people that are serious.
That's why I've committed I will not vote for an omnibus spending bill, period.
We've got to get back to process.
What our great Senator Mike Lee has called the firm, the leadership in the Senate and the House, that go behind a closed door, cobble together 1,000-page-plus legislation and budget, and just put it on members of Congress' desk and say, you've got 24 hours or so to pass this.
If not, the government will shut down.
Well, so be it.
We've got to get back to process with 12 appropriations subcommittees.
And doing so will ensure that I think we get back to a balanced budget.
Which we haven't had since 2001 that inflationary pressures have to stop and you'll stop when we stop printing money and we get back to a sound energy policy.
And that's number three the regulatory states out of control.
You know, I was on the board of a an energy company that we took public and I understand a thing or two about the regulatory framework and just the just the burden of the federal government.
We've got to eliminate that we need the rains Act.
We've got to, in my mind, get rid of staffing levels across many of these agencies, probably getting rid of some of these agencies that really cause so much harm to the economy.
It's a $4 trillion drag on our economy.
It costs the average employer $20,000 per employee to come into compliance with all the nonsense that the federal government throws at us.
So let's get that out of the way.
We'll see energy prices come down, stop printing money, and this economy will take off and You know, Americans will be in a much, much better shape than they are today, sadly, with three years plus of really destructive behavior by the Biden administration.
Absolutely.
Well, Mayor, it sounds like you're taking a page out of the great Javier Mele's book down there in Argentina, where the very first thing that guy did when he got into office was started slashing the bureaucracy.
Afuera!
Afuera!
You saw the video as well.
That's great.
You'll have to have him up when you're inaugurated.
Yeah, that's great.
I tell you, we've got to have people that will do this, that will take this on.
And I've committed to join basically the equivalent of the Freedom Caucus on the Senate side.
You know, Senator Tuberville has come out here in campaign force as well.
You know, Mike Lee.
Rand Paul, Rick Scott, Ron Johnson.
These are the people I want to talk to.
You're naming all my favorites, Mayor.
All my favorites.
We're just about out of time.
Apologize for that, but good luck to you.
Congratulations on the success.
I want to thank everybody, by the way, who's following me.
He has the number one live stream on X. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
