A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
Deliver us from evil!
In a historic move, European nations, Norway, Ireland, and Spain just announced they're now recognizing a Palestinian state.
Israel immediately responded by recalling its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland.
Am I accurate to say zero has been delivered to the people of Gaza so far?
Yes, very shortly I think you'll see aid starting to be delivered.
...wing state, but Biden making up significant ground from just last month. In the latest Bloomberg Morning Consul poll, Trump leads in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
It was a night of victory for District Attorney Fannie Willis as her quest for re-election continues.
Willis clinched the win in the Democratic primary for Fulton County District Attorney, defeating Progressive Attorney Christian Y. Smith.
That hat that you keep wearing, that red hat that says, Make America Great Again, that tells people that you go along with this.
So you might as well just put a swastika on the hat.
Don't do that.
I think their hope is that it's a mistrial.
Right.
Because then he can say, see, even in liberal New York, they didn't even think that I was guilty.
And he'll just use that to say that he was a martyr and that, you know, it was it was also a kangaroo court.
And then I think he's confident with some reason that he's not going to face trial make the rest of the year.
Right.
In any of these other cases.
So they're going to sort of use that to borrow a phrase as his get out of jail free card.
For the Justice Department and the FBI, because Trump is coming for those institutions.
He knows their power, and I think he has regrets that he didn't work hard enough to corrupt them last time.
So he's coming for them, and that's a danger for all Americans.
He's going to put people in positions in those organizations.
He didn't have all-stars the last time, he'll have the bottom of the barrel this time.
But people who will want to do his will, and that should worry every American.
Brand new court filing that was unsealed today.
The Department of Justice authorised the use of deadly force when FBI agents executed a raid at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, live from Washington, DC.
Today is May 22nd, 2024.
Anno Domini.
We now know that the FBI, acting under the auspices of the Biden Department of Justice, when they conducted this completely, completely insane, completely illegal raid of Mar-a-Lago, They authorized deadly force, the use of lethal force on anyone who resisted, if it was required.
They said, take the shot if you needed to take the shot.
Well, there you go, folks.
The FBI dutifully complied with the Biden administration's wishes, wants, and desires and dreams because they dream of President Trump being shot dead.
Now we now know that there were senior officials within the FBI who opposed the raid.
There were people who said, we should just reach out to the President and the Secret Service and find out if we are allowed to have access because we are trying to solve this dispute.
No.
They wanted the raid.
And you hear these petty little runts, these gaslighters running around, these feds, fed, fed, feds, who are screaming, Oh no, this is totally fine.
By the way, shut up!
No more by the book!
No more of this limp-wristed, light-in-the-loafers attitude.
No.
We're gonna go hard, and we're gonna call things out like they are.
And I love what I'm seeing right now, by the way.
This just broke as we were going up.
The...
Ohio Secretary of State has just warned the Democrats that they will be taken off the ballot in November if they do not confirm in writing, he's given them a date, by I believe it's August 5th, Whether or not Joe Biden will be the nominee.
He says, we have an issue with our law that you are holding your convention so late in the year that you are not confirming who your nominee is going to be.
And if you do not tell us that Joe Biden is going to be the one on the ballot, then you're not going to be on the ballot.
It's as simple as that, because I'm going to uphold the law.
So here's the question for the Democrats.
Are you sure that Joe Biden's going to be on the ballot?
The ball is in your court, because I'll tell you something, if they're even considering, and there's a lot of people who think that the reason that they've called for this early debate with Trump is because they know Biden's going to totally bite it in this thing, and then it's going to give them leverage to be able to get rid of him at the convention.
The problem is they've set their convention date so late that Biden Might not even make it.
So if he doesn't even make it, and nobody does, then guess what?
No nominee.
So, there's a little fly in your ointment there, Democrats.
The Ohio Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, gotta throw it out to him.
Credit where it's due.
This is excellent.
Put the ball on them.
Put the impetus on them.
It's now on your court.
You tell us whether or not your nominee is going to be Joe Biden.
See you at the convention!

All right, folks, we're back.
I gotta say, another day, another breaking news story buried.
You know, they'd rather talk about anything else than what's really going on.
It's not because they don't know what's happening.
The media pundits and the talking heads just don't want you paying attention.
The real stories, the human events audience knows you have to dig beyond the headlines to find the truth.

What are we going on now?
Joshua Lysak, the co-author of the incredible and I believe will be bestseller upon launch on July 4th, anti-communist book, Unhumans, the secret history of communist revolutions and how to crush them.
And so Joshua and I have written this book.
The book has not been released.
We sent it to a very tight, select few of reviewers, but it has not yet been widely released in any way, shape or fashion.
And yet we have found ourselves completely under attack by a group of people that, for lack of a better term, or perhaps this is the best term to describe them, the Woke Rite.
Joshua, explain to me what the Woke Rite is and why are they attacking this book so much, which of course they haven't even read.
Appreciate you having me on, Jack.
Yes, so the Woke Rite is a group of self-proclaimed rite or center rite or even center characters with some Right-wing and right-wing adjacent talking points and claims and associations.
But they have a little bit of wokeness going on, or perhaps a little bit more than just a little bit, but half woke.
There are the types of people who are concerned with how things look.
For example, they'll say things like, well, the Democrats are the real racists, is what someone who has a little bit of wokeness would be concerned with.
They're the ones who say things like, Well, don't be offensive.
Don't go on the offensive.
Just, you know, just focusing on when they go low, we go high.
This type of language that doesn't lead to calls to action besides buy my merch, get my mug, get my shirt.

The call to action of the content funnel of the woke right leads not necessarily to actual sociopolitical change that affects real-world issues like the economy and immigration, which are the two key issues for the right.
Winning issues for the right, I ought to say.
But they focus on everything else except that which will win.
It seems as if the woke rite is concerned with snatching defeat from the jaws of victory at every single turn that they possibly could.
I want to read something here.
This is by a Twitter user called Stoney Baloney.
And you know with a name like that, it's going to be absolutely fantastic.
Oh wait, do you guys have the screenshot?
Let's put up the screenshot.
I didn't realize you had it.
Put up the screenshot.
So I'm just going to read this off the thing.
Here is the starter list of tactics utilized by the woke, both on the left and right.
Call someone names until you can control them.
Well, I call people names too, so that's fair, but listen to this next part.
Assume the moral high ground and talk down to them.
And then three, accuse you of doing exactly what they are doing.
I haven't even read this book talking about on humans yet.
Yet you shouldn't need a philosophy major to understand the commie.
How many podcasts can we sell to a soccer mom?
Do hardworking American families have time for the for Gnostic nonsense?
Can my son's mother go to the school board, the teacher or state legislature and demand they stop being critical constructivists?
No, she cannot.
Can she even explain to our children how Foucault or Marcuse are affecting them in the classroom?
Where does this end?
And the question is, of course, if we're focused-- if all of our focus is on podcast clicks and sitting around in the library and holding these academic debates, well, guess who's going to win?
It's going to be the unhumans.
It's going to be the communists.
It is now time to speak plainly.
And if you don't have a clear call to action that every family and regular person can take, then you don't have any right to claim dominance over the space.
Anyone attempting to suppress any anti-communist voice deserves nothing but our contempt.
I don't know that I would go that far, but, reading the thread, we should question their motives.
And so, you know, I think there's a lot here, but really, Joshua, I want to ask you about the thing you just said there, and I had tweeted this earlier as well, that of course the woke right are not completely woke.
They are against the full woke, but they are half woke.
What does that mean?
What is this idea of half woke?
It means that they still adopt the oppressor versus oppressed mental model of the woke left, where there are obviously good guys and bad guys, and when there is a disparate impact, meaning when Let's say this percentage of the population is this demographic group, but they only have this much percentage of the wealth.
Well, well, you better know it.
There's certainly some oppression there.
You know, there's certainly nothing to say of individual choices and preferences there.
So they agree with the oppressive versus oppressed mental model of the situation that assessment.
And they also agree with the key one word philosophical point that the woke left does make, which is should.
Well, things should just not be that way.
They should be fair.
They should be equal.
And so the woke right agrees with that and say, "Well, they should.
We just have some different ideas on how to create that." And so they adopt the same starting point.
They agree with the same frame versus understanding from the beginning that just because bad things happen in this world doesn't mean that there's some grand conspiracy causing them to happen.
Just because there's oppression doesn't necessarily mean that there was an oppressor.
I did a Twitter space this past week talking about how critical theory always looks for the victim and the victimizer.
Well, sometimes just bad things happen.
It's in the Old Testament and the New Testament that it rains on the just and the unjust.
That doesn't mean that there's a rainmaker conspiracy in the sky causing it to cause rain to befall those people who are poor.
That's just how things work.
I'll throw another one at you.
The poor will always be with you.
100%.
100%.
Yes.
And in humans, we talk about how In chapters 12 and 13, we do give actual plans of action, strategy, and tactics that the normal everyday person can do to improve their lives, to improve their family's life, to improve their community, and even their country, in the face of the forces of anti-civilization that are doing what they can to launch anarcho-tyrannical micro-revolutions against good and honest people.
But we also talk about the original purpose of the left.
This is something that the woke left unfortunately gets away from.
They're focusing on blaming and assigning varying levels of that blame to different identity groups.
But the original purpose of the left was to be a deployment of compassion.
A deployment of compassion.
The right has been, as Scott Adams would say, the systems over goals crowd.
What's pragmatic?
What's going to work in a Lindy way for the next several decades, centuries to make this a great civilization to live in?
Now, there are those who are poor.
There are those who are suffering, those who are miserable, both from consequences of their own choices and those that are not of their own choices.
And they were men like John Patterson from my same city here in Dayton, Ohio, where he made life better as much as he could for widows, for orphans, for the inner city poor, for the working class.
Because he also recognized, as a Christian, that's the right thing to do.
But he also recognized that that would prevent a communist revolution in the United States.
That was during the first Red Scare period, by the way, which is very little talked about and understood.
But it was men like John Patterson who had that compassionate understanding that Just because someone is in that situation, it doesn't mean that they should stay there, or that it was their fault, or that it was somebody else's fault.
And that there is good that can be done, and you do not need a government to come in there, start taxing everybody, and make it happen.
You could be a great man of history like John Patterson and fix it yourself.
Well, and this is also where we see Teddy Roosevelt fighting off some of this in his presidency.
Of course, Teddy Roosevelt ascends to the presidency in the midst of the, it's funny, they call it a red scare, yet actually we had a president of the United States named William McKinley who was assassinated by an anarcho-socialist, and yet they claim that, oh, it was all just a bunch of right-wing fears.
The president was shot and killed by one of these guys, who was little Emma Goldman Toadie, and yet we're told that, oh, you know, no, no, no, you know, Leon Cholga, she was just some, just don't worry about him, it's no big deal.
You know, no, obviously, no, there was a huge issue going on at the time.
Teddy Roosevelt fought hard to tamp it down, number one, using law and order and deporting people like Emma Goldman and others who were foreign born, and at the same time going through, but then also, as you say, going in and trying to understand but then also, as you say, going in and trying to understand what the grievances of the workers were and saying, you Maybe we can have things like weekends.
Maybe we can, we should push for things like this.
Maybe we should push for these types of conditions to be done global, or to be done nationwide.
He broke up a large, he was not a corporatist in any way, obviously.
And there's a lot of, and obviously the corporatists hate Teddy Roosevelt because of this, because he was a populist.
He was an extreme populist.
And so, this is the difference between Teddy Roosevelt and, say, Ronald Reagan, who was not a populist.
He was far more corporatist in many of his domestic policies.
We're going to get back to that.
Well, I like immigration, by the way.
We're going to get back to that and more.
Next segment, Joshua Leiser.
I rolled with bloods, and them boys had a saying.
You can't be listening to all that slappy whack.
Trim out his eyelets, a bam, ship.
Nippy, bam, bam.
By Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
Alright, Jack Posobiec, we are back live on Human Events.
I want to tell you folks, I like knowing exactly where my food comes from, and with Moink, that places from small family farms all across the country.
You can help save the family farm and get access to the highest quality meat on earth when you join the Moink movement today.
Moink Ruins runs their business from a town of 97 people in Newark, Missouri, and they're helping save our tradition, our values, and helping save rural America with every order.
Moink delivers grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb, pastured pork and chicken, sustainable wild-caught Alaskan salmon straight to your door.
You choose the meat delivered in every box, ribeyes, chicken, breast, pork chops, salmon fillets, and the best bacon.
Look, Tanya Taye, I gotta say, she's doing a cleanse right now, um, this whole week, so she's off of, like, all this stuff, and the worst part for her is that we got a moink box that's on our way right now, so I'm trying to time it so that the moink box doesn't come before Tanya Taye is off the cleanse, or else she's gonna be sitting there like, NO!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
LET ME CRACK INTO THERE!
I'M SORRY, SWEETHEART!
I'M SORRY!
BUT WHEN THAT BOX COMES, I'M EATING EVERYTHING IN IT, AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE ON THE CLEANSE OR NOT!

Spelled m-o-i-n-k box.com slash poso.
That's m-o-i-n-k box.com slash poso.
Joshua Lysak back now.
Joshua, what's really going on here?
So these guys, you know, they're trying to hold up this, like, pre, you know, pre-Trump, pre-Woke consensus.
They're constantly banging on about Ronald Reagan.
They're going after me.
They're going after you.
They hate our book.
They're going after the Claremont Institute.
Things like this.
This guy Michael O'Fallon, that I've referred to as Mr. Beef Sweats, really kicked all this off on Sunday.
We did a live stream yesterday speaking about this.
And, you know, a lot of this, I understand.
You know, I do understand a lot of the dynamics here is that, and here's an actual photo of Mr. Beef Sweats thinking about brisket.
Well, we are finding out where the briskets are buried.
And my phone's been ringing off the hook about, you know, from people who have worked with him in the past and have just really nothing but negative things to say.
They say this guy has been, well, you know, I don't even want to get into it.
I don't even want to get into it because it's somebody else's dirty laundry, but I'll say it this way.
I haven't heard a lot of positives.
I've not heard a lot of positives.
And the simple fact that people keep reaching out with more to say kind of speaks for itself.
But what's really going on here, I think, is...
Yes, that's right.
You've got people specifically who have lost out in terms of the narrative.
And kind of more to your point, they're not interested actually in a call for action because these people actually live off of having someone to fight against.
And so should one side, the left or right, actually win, these people would kind of be out of a job.
Isn't that right?
Yes, that's right.
Moments ago I posted if Conservative Inc, let's call them, if they were to achieve actual socio-political victories in the so-called culture war, would there be a reason for Conservative Inc to exist anymore?
Oh, the fall of the money heuristic then becomes explanatory and also predictive.
We can see what's going to happen, how the both institutional and kind of independent but Let's say, fund-raising-seeking class of center and center-right or so-called classical liberal influencers.
What they seem to be doing is to try to siphon attention, energy, and, besides cash, money, dopamine from the right, who'd otherwise focus on creating actual victories.
So an organization that does seem to be actually doing good things in the world with their cash is Moms for Liberty.
And they're despised by both the far left and the far right, it seems like, because they're actually getting into the trenches doing real world work.
Whereas there are content creators, if you look at their calls to action, what are they?
It's to support my Patreon.
It's to support this.
It's to subscribe to this.
It's to buy this.
It's to get my supplements.
It's to do some sort of action that accrues attention, influence, and financial value to themselves personally.
And then you realize, oh, this is what's called classically a grift.
It's the problem with nonprofits.
Generally, a nonprofit that is too effective solves the problem, and then it goes out of business.
Now, one could argue it was never in business because it's a nonprofit.
So what the nonprofit has to do is continuously agitate and not solve the problem, just be real loud about the problem to get people's attention.
Exactly, exactly.
And in this, there's a lot of activity that's exactly like The Woke.
Oh, we're going to gatekeep, we're going to cancel, we're going to... Don't read that book!
That book is a naughty, naughty book.
That title is a mean title.
You're not allowed to say un-humans.
Guy... There was a tweet from this guy, Prince of Trailer, someone asking what exactly is the Whoop Right?
And he says, Guys, don't sink to their level.
Guys, don't call them commies.
Guys, don't say mean things about people who hate you and laugh at you while you die.
Guys, here's Bill Maher dunking on libs.
Guys, here's a New York Times article.
I mean, like, that's just... I feel like that's the perfect mentality right there.
That's also part and parcel of this because, you know, they're like, Reagan wouldn't do that, Reagan wouldn't do that.
But, you know, it also serves a wider purpose, I would say, in that they don't actually have the ability to formulate any solutions other than just kind of repeating over and over, well, we just need to follow the Constitution, man.
Oh, we just need to get back to conservatism or we need to get back to classical liberalism.
And then they'll say, just follow the Constitution.
Like, that's all it takes.
Like, yeah.
Well, we've been trying that and saying that for 50 years.
And where has it gotten us?
It's gotten us to the point where children's genitalia are being chopped off.
Trans kids are raping non-trans kids.
And they're not trans at all.
They're actually pretending to be trans, or whatever it is, pretending to be females, and are raping kids in high schools, and we've got all sorts of insanity run amok, and you think just running around going follow the Constitution is actually going to conserve anything?
That's number one.
Number two, because this is very performative, because a lot of this is theatrics that they perform for the donor class rather than actually attempting to achieve sociopolitical victories, as you say, Rightly so.
That... It doesn't quite get to the heart of the problems that we're facing now.
It's not the 1980s anymore, bro.
It's not the 1990s anymore.
And perhaps, perhaps, as much as we hate to say it, maybe there were some structural issues going on in the 80s and 90s that started in the 1960s, which you and I talk about in the book, at length, that led to the situation we're in now.
And we also have to ask ourselves if, given that immigration and the economy are the galvanizing issues of the right, and the right continually loses on both of those issues at every turn, still following their principles, if the conservative principles you followed brought you to this, of what use were the conservative principles?
That seems to be where the woke right has a public freakout, whether it's airing their dirty laundry or their dirty dishes, in the case with some, I think it's worth exposing the resistance to actual solutions and see if there's more to this than meets the eye.
And on that matter, I think it would be wise and fun to have a spirited conversation or debate, let's call it.
Whoa.
Whoa.
I think that'd be a great public service.
What do you think, Jack?
Okay, so so I want to get this straight.
You are publicly calling out Michael O'Fallon for a debate.
That's correct.
What are your okay, what are your preconditions?
Livestreamed.
Besides that, no preconditions.
Let's livestream it.
So no editing.
Livestream it, no editing.
What do you say?
I think that's great.
I think that's fantastic.
I think you guys should have at it.
More than willing, by the way, to offer.
I, you know, I wouldn't even moderate.
I could just, I could give you guys the stream.
I don't really think that you need a moderator, to be honest, but I'd be more than willing to just give you guys the show.
I'd give you guys the show.
I'd give you the stream.
I'd say, here it is.
I could just be here making sure that people get more views and live tweeting it.
I don't even have to say a word.
Let's do it.
You know, or by the way, by the way, if he's got a stream, that's fine too.
I don't care.
What can I say, though?
You know, you always try to be the host.
You know, that's the funny thing, though, is that, you know, we always talk about, like, promoting stuff.
And yes, we do have a book to sell at unhumansbook.com, promo code WOKEWRITE.
But of course, you and I have been doing podcasts and interviews where we explain the calls to action completely for free many, many times.
In fact, we were shouting them all over Twitter.
If you would like to also purchase the book, that's cool, too.
But we're talking about these ideas of reciprocity, the ideas of turning the tables on the left, doing what is done to us 10 times back at them.
This is basic stuff at the highest level with Trump and Elon, the things that they're doing, and then even at the lower levels calling for this organizing and these community centers and things like this to be set up.
in uh in key areas and and just whatever people's local areas are that's that's perfectly fine we don't need to go and get a philosophy degree to understand how to fight communism and in fact if that is our road we're probably going to lose so so joshua what do you think what do you are you going to try to reach out to this guy i think this video will reach him okay okay um All right.
Let me put it this way.
Would you want time length?
Would you want a specific series of questions?
Or would you just want to just, you know, kind of no holds barred, go at it?
I was on debate team at university.
I don't know if Michael has any formal experience participating in debate directly.
So in debate, usually there's One side that gets to make their case, the other side gets to make the counter case, and then there's the cross-examination, one question, the other, that can happen.
That's one style I do like.
Is that the Yale format?
Maybe for Q&A?
Q&A is fun.
Oh, no, I was thinking, that's known as Yale debate, right?
There's a number of terms, but yes, there's parliamentary debate.
That's what I did at university, yes.
Formal debates can be off-putting for the same reason that so much of the woke right messaging is off-putting, we'll be blunt, because that's not how normal people communicate.
That's not the everyday.
We're not talking about, oh, so Lysak is a neo-integralist, Nietzschean vitalist, pseudo-Gromskiist.
That's not how soccer moms are thinking about, gee, what do I say to my son whose teacher just told him that white people are colonizers?
What do I say?
Joshua Lysak, this is fantastic.
We're out of time for this segment.
Where can people follow you?
And more importantly, where can Michael O'Fallon follow you?
He can find me in the DMs.
I'm vegetarian, so... Alright.
There we go, folks.
There we go.
The gauntlet has been thrown down.
Lysak O'Fallon.
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 Pulitzer's.
All right, Jack Posobiec here, back live, Human Events Daily.
A lot of stuff going on, but I wanted to talk now a little bit about one of our partners, and he's here joining us now because we talk about this all the time, that Our privacy is being compromised constantly, our data is being compromised constantly.
I know this from being in the military, from being a prior Navy intelligence officer, and now in doing what I do, plus all of the things that we've learned about the government in terms of their FISA use, and I should say FISA abuse.
If you watch the Flynn documentary, you know that they were targeting him and they were targeting all these people using completely illegal means, obviously.
And President Trump had tweeted out once, and then this was completely borne out, that he was being wiretapped, etc, etc.
So there, and by the way, there's these, there's that, there's all these things going on regarding your data and regarding the information that's coming out of these little pieces of glass in our pockets.
And we have on today, oh yeah, there you go, you can see my lock screen, it's my family at the River Jordan, when we got to visit the actual spot of Jesus' baptism.
By John the Baptist.
So, we have Aaron Zarr, the founder of Silent.
You can go to slnt.com slash poso and use promo code poso to check it out.
Aaron, what's up, man?
Hey, what's happening?
Nice to have you on.
So, tell me the story of Silent.
What made you want to found a company like this?
What's your background?
And how did this all come to be?
Yeah, good question.
Well, officially a co-founder.
It was a family started business, which is pretty fun because back in 1998, myself, I was in middle school.
I'm 40 years old now, but my father conceptualized and used some materials to cloak his, his then like Motorola device.
And he showed me on the kitchen table.
He's like, check this out.
Call his phone, wouldn't ring when he had it like bagged up.
He says, I think there's something here.
And During that time, I mean, think about 1998, it's pre-iPhone, it's pre-adoption of a lot of connected devices.
So he was kind of deemed paranoid at the time, curbed the idea of making a more finished good.
And then in 2000, 2008, 2009, he sampled and created what was called M.I.A.
Moby Silent Pocket and launched a small product line that Was simply, you know, the pouch, which I think you have with you that pouch, but very rudimentary, um, simplified.
So you can drop your phone inside and instantly block cellular wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, the whole gamut.
And, um, that was the premise.
You know, the premise was like, how can we empower individuals to take control and ownership over their own, um, digital footprint?
Really?
And over the last 20 years, I think anyone that's been alive and of awareness has really, like, become aware of the external, I call them external events from our life, given we don't have a ton of control over them, is big data breaches, overreach by government, international conflicts.
Advancement of tech is probably the biggest one.
Anything we have connects and receives information.
And there's a big problem underlying that.
So the three pillars of silent we operate on privacy, security and health.
And it's always been about that.
And and even my mother, she created the the aspect of empowerment, like what's more empowering than having control over your own fate.
So if you know, we love freedom, we live in the United States and, and our devices are an erosion of our civil liberties.
So Back to the storyline, but in 2009, you know, there's a cut-and-sew background in my family and put together some pretty clean-looking products.
Actually, they were quite fashionable.
They had leather.
One was like a small little purse.
And I chose to leave a position I was at selling high-end wine direct-to-consumer.
So I was the guy pounding the phone, calling up managing directors of law firms and telling them that I had the best Latest, greatest things that they had to have.
Um, so I really cut my teeth and sales through cold calling.
Um, I had a background in studying marketing and I joined my father in 2011 and I took it on myself and, and, and really like brought it back to life in a sense and rebranded it, um, just a silent pocket and started getting creative with the idea.
I'm a younger generation, but how can we make, Really clean products that people actually use regardless if their privacy or security first.
So that was the premise of like aesthetics clean design with really impactful utility on the inside which is called a Faraday cage.
So the Faraday cage, Faraday bag, Faraday sleeve, whatever term they all kind of boil down to the same thing for the for the use of our products.
And that's to be able to drop in a device like your phone and instantly block cellular Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, RFID, NFC, EMP, EMF, like, you know, solar flare, a whole gamut of stuff.
And it's pretty impactful.
It's a simple tool that allows you to mitigate a highly technical, highly complicated problem that really riddles anyone that has a device.
If you own a phone, you need a silent Faraday bag.
I see it as simple as that.
I think a lot of people in our community see it that way too.
Flash forward, because I've been doing this for 12 years now.
It's been a long, long journey, grown organically.
And we have over, you know, 150 different products now.
We make really top-end backpacks and travel devices.
But most impactfully, we've been leaning to The use case of the military and I know you have a background with Navy intelligence and giving advice to the NSW groups and teams and the tip of the spear guys in the soft community are risking their life to go out and and protect the freedom of America ultimately.
So by using a Faraday bag they can mask their location and their signature and you know we're we're faced with electronic warfare like that is That is what's being faced.
So that's been a big use case in the last five years for us.
And we've remained highly commercialized, but we have a strong defense need as well.
And we've won six Air Force contracts in the last two years.
And we're leaning into making products that are not only robust, beautiful looking, but can serve a lot of
Um, different use cases, military being a heightened one, but it boils down to every day and the picture that you have up there now, like our privacy starter kit, um, your key fobs, you know, a simple starting point for the silent products, protecting your key fob from a relay attack is when you have your keys in proximity to your car and someone can boost that signal and gain access.
Um, your car could drive away and be stolen.
Like it's that easy.
Like that's, that's the times we're living in.
So from that simple a product to ultimately protecting your cell phone.
So, so by the way, by the way, so I just want to, I just want to pump the brakes here for a second.
Don't bury the lead.
Are you saying someone can use a key fob to hack your car?
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
It's prevalent.
You don't see, I mean, you see it in like, um, and I don't just mean a Kia boys.
I mean like an actual hack.
Yeah.
You don't need a coat hanger and a slim Jim anymore.
You just need like, $20 worth of equipment and essentially what they're doing we have videos on our socials and They're out there, but they just boost the signal to mimic That you're actually near your car with your key fob and they could gain acts like phase one gain access to the car Rifle through steal whatever they want and then phase two and then some makes and models actually drive away so if you have a modern car and you have a key fob like you could protect what is arguably a
The second most valuable monetary thing that you own outside of a home with a $20 product.
So it masks the signal.
So you put your key fob inside that when you're not using your car and then it gives you more peace of mind over someone driving away with your brand new European luxury car or your Ford or your Chevy.
Like it's real and it's a vulnerability.
I don't think like The big car manufacturers are going to stand up and wave the flag like, hey, there's this flaw with the tool that makes you allow to use your vehicle.
But there's tools like silent Faraday bags that allow you to mitigate that.
I mean, this is this is huge.
I don't know that people are even aware of it.
And look, you know, it's something that like my dad, he just turned 70 this week.
And, you know, we were talking about that.
He always warned us about the all of this stuff.
He said, the more electronic stuff you have, the more you can hack.
And of course, when I was young, I was like, I don't know.
But you know what?
He's actually right.
He's actually right.
And we're going to talk about how this company gives you the opportunity to take back control and protect yourself and your family.
Stay tuned.
My ear about the boring people at your office.
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
Check back live.
We're on with Aaron Zahr, the founder of Silent.
You can go to slnt.com slash poso to check it out for yourself and get more information.
All right.
I got to say, man, I'm sorry.
I'm listening to you.
I love the product.
Use the product to have it.
Tell me more about my car being hacked, man.
Because this is something where, and I'm aware of various hacks that are out there, but this is one that I think really drives home.
Producer Fozz is here in the show chat going, ask about the car, ask about the car.
He's got a, he's a, I'm not gonna totally out Fozz, but he's a little bit of a car guy.
He's a little bit of a car guy.
And he loves always having all the bells and whistles.
And I always tell him, man, the more stuff you have, the more opportunities they have.
Yeah, I mean, your father was spot on.
And I felt the same about my father when he was kind of preaching to me, which felt like preaching at the time.
And I didn't even have a phone when it was first, you know, I didn't get a phone until I was 16 years old.
So I lived a portion of my life not having to deal with that.
But back to the key fob, I mean, I'm a car guy as well.
Like when you have when there's a pain point involved, like someone does something to you, take something from you, it hurts.
And you could relay that to credit card theft and financial theft and identity theft.
Like it hurts.
But people typically don't move on something or take action into their own hands until they feel that pain.
What I'm asking people to do is to get ahead of it.
Like have some foresight that everything we have is connected and there are vulnerabilities inherently designed in that.
There's simple ways to mitigate and have control over your own destiny, really.
So when it comes to your car, it's a, it's called like terminology.
It's a relay attack.
So your, your signal, like the way these, these car fobs work now is like they're in constant communication with your car.
So your key fob saying, Hey, I'm right here.
And your car is saying, Hey, you're right there.
Once it's in a certain proximity, you could just open up your door.
And then when it's in the confines of your car, you could start your car, drive and do all your things.
Like this isn't any like thing new.
It shouldn't be.
Because, because of course, right.
So they're, they're cloning your key fob.
We're using our, it's basically like cloning it.
So you've got, now I've got a clone of this rather than have the key fob that just that the key that can unlock your car now, because our starters are based off of the key fobs, which, which is a radio signal.
Uh, you clone that boom.
Now I got your car.
Yep, it's that's how it works.
I mean, it's cloning for a temporary time.
It's kind of mimicking more so.
So it's mimicking.
So it's like, your car thinks that your key is near your car in your car.
And, you know, someone drives away with a $60,000 car and puts it in a shipping container and ships it somewhere like You're out, you're gone.
It's in a different country or yeah, it happens all the time.
So, um, I'm sure insurance companies are looking at this.
Um, I know the law, like law enforcement is looking at it and we sell directly to law enforcement departments for officer protection and also like forensics, um, evidence collection for digital devices, but they're highly aware of, The vulnerability with, you know, car theft being electronic now.
And to further on that, like when you leave, say you're going on a hike or you're, you know, I grew up surfing, like I'm going into the ocean or something.
You leave any devices inside and you see it quite a bit in the lovely place of San Francisco where tourists will park at the beach, leave their luggage and their laptops and their devices in the car.
There's, they're sniffed out.
So if you have Bluetooth on and Wi-Fi on, There's simple tools, cheap sensors that allow someone to determine if the car's worth smashing and opening up and rifling through everything, because there's, you know, six devices inside.
Things that a lot of people don't really think about, and that's okay.
It's just now, it's like, it should be part of your operating procedure in daily life, is thinking about, like, How you're emitting signal and how that could compromise yourself, your family, your business, or whatever you're up to.
Folks, listen to this.
You heard this here first.
It's not just the screwdriver and the hammer anymore.
The thieves in San Francisco are evolving.
They're evolving and they're sharing these tactics over TikTok.
They're sharing these tactics over other apps that are easy to spread, easy to propagate.
And so, Aaron, while I have you, also real quick, I want to thank the audience.
I've just been informed we are now the number one live stream on all of X. Just a huge thank you to everyone about that here on the program.
And of course, thank you over to the thousands and thousands of people watching us on Rumble and Getter and all the other YouTube, all the places where we are streaming.
Aaron, tell me, what is next for Silent?
What are the things that you're looking at on the horizon?
Yeah, I kind of alluded to it a bit with our focus on the military as well, but we're just making products that look amazing, that are really functional, that have all the organization and components that you need to live a normal life, whether that's commuting or traveling or just daily operations, as well as heightened use case of the military law enforcement.
Uh, what's next?
By the way, our producer, producer Russ, he's got the, um, when you guys send over, uh, the packages.
So we've got the, we've got the sleeve, um, the case.
And then, by the way, I love the idea of the fact that you guys have that.
It's a cell phone case that you can just get for your cell phone that gives you all of this Faraday technology.
Um, so you get the protection when you activate it and then you can take it right off when you use your phone.
Uh, producer Russ, by the way, he loves the backpack, man.
He wears that thing everywhere.
Oh, excellent.
That's good to hear.
Yeah, we have, uh, we're growing, you know, we've, we've, I bet the market had to grow enough for people's awareness.
And I think if we look at the state of the world now, it could be viewed as, uh, boiled with a lot of fear and it's pretty scary.
And, and, you know, you, you preach to the choir all the time.
And, um, I think what's next is just growing that awareness through education and clean products that people could adopt.
You could buy them right now, and if it gives you even a sliver of more privacy, security, and health in your life, then that's a benefit.
So we're big on empowering individuals to have the right to disconnect, which is your right, and if something isn't being done about it, then you're kind of leaving yourself out to like, it's gonna happen eventually.
Amen.
