The Pozo Daily Brief.
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
Deliver us from evil!
It doesn't matter whether you're black or brown or white or whatever the hell color you are, it doesn't matter.
We are all Americans and we're going to pull together as Americans.
And I am looking forward to the response of everyday Bronxites.
USA!
New York City's blue.
Brooklyn is blue.
Queens is blue.
The Bronx is blue.
And he's got nowhere to go, and so he's decided to come to the South Bronx.
He's broke.
He needs to pay these legal funds.
And, you know, busing people in in order to get those donations so that he can funnel them to his legal fees is kind of his business right now.
Where are you from?
The Bronx, actually.
I'm originally from the Bronx and from New York.
I'm from the Bronx.
Right here in the Bronx, New York.
This is home, right here.
I am a Democrat.
And I belong here.
And who are you voting for?
I will say this rally did look a lot like America.
There was a lot of Asian voters there, there were a lot of Hispanic voters, a lot of black voters there, which is not typical for a Trump rally that I go to when I'm in Wisconsin or Michigan.
So that's what was fascinating here.
But it is a cross section of New York.
Exactly.
I'm here to watch the Trump gathering rally here.
What do you think about him being here?
I think it's great.
I think it's dope.
I know presidents have came to the Bronx before, but we're talking about Woodlawn, Riverdale.
He has came to Morrisania, South Bronx.
The hood hood.
So, I respect that.
Well, it's certainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the coolest counties in the entire country.
I'll tell you it won't make a difference at all, Jake, and that is for Donald Trump to be the ringleader and invite all his clowns to a place like the Bronx.
New York will never, ever support Donald Trump for president.
There's no choice.
I am a Democrat.
I'm a registered Democrat.
We can end up in World War III with Biden.
I think that Trump is going to make America great again.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
I'm here live, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Today is May 24th, 2024.
Anno Domini.
What we saw yesterday in the Bronx was a historic move, not only for the MAGA movement, the Trump campaign, but also for, and most importantly, for the United States of America.
Here's what's going on.
This was the first time that President Trump Held a speech like this, and I went back, I went all the way back to the archives, folks.
This is the first time he has held a speech like this within the confines of New York City since election night, November 8th, 2016.
Technically it was November 9th, 2016 because it was about three in the morning when he walked past me on the side of the street as he made his way into the building.
The 2016 energy is back and it's bigger than ever.
police officers.
And I got to say, congratulations, Mr. President 2016.
The 2016 energy is back and it's bigger than ever.
He's putting together rallies in areas that people are arguing.
Was it 3000, 30,000, 10,000, 50,000, look thousands of people in areas that he's not supposed to put crowds together.
You want people's votes?
supposed to have crowds and rallies in New York City.
He's not supposed to go to blue areas like New Jersey.
He's not supposed to go to blue states like Minnesota and be able to put all this together.
Yet he's doing it.
He's doing it again and again.
That's the same way they told him, don't go to Michigan.
Don't go to Wisconsin.
What are you even doing up there all the way back in 2016?
And then he flips those states and wins them.
It's simple.
You want people's votes, go there and ask for them.
No other Republican would do this, but I would say something else There is a spiritual and a cultural tie between Donald Trump, New York City, and the MAGA movement.
The way that New York was restored in the 1990s, thanks to Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump, is emblematic of how Donald Trump, who still works with Rudy Giuliani, by the way, are going to restore our nation.
Tell me Giuliani don't know how to fix law and order.
Tell me Rudy Giuliani, of all the people out there, don't know how to fix the problems of crime, don't know how to fix what's going on.
Please.
It's a joke.
He's New York's greatest mayor for a reason.
And when we win, there will be statues of Rudy Giuliani that go up in New York City The same way that there will be statues of Donald Trump right out front of Trump Tower.
But before then, folks, we have to understand that New York City is a symbol of our nation.
It is America's greatest city.
It is the capital of the world's finance, the capital of the world's culture, the capital of the world's society.
It's all right there in New York City.
It is the new Rome.
And currently it's in a state of decrepitude.
The same way that our nation and our president are in a state of decrepitude.
And what can we do, folks, than restore it greater than it ever was before?
Stay tuned right back.

We've got to bring on now the man of the hour.
Gavin Wax played a huge role in getting the Bronx rally taken off.
Look, Gavin, the president said, and you and I were in and I played the video on the show here as a bumper.
We were at the New York Young Republican Gala all the way back December of last year.
And you and the president were discussing having a rally.
You may have mentioned Madison Square Garden.
Then we came here on Human Events Daily.
We were talking about doing the micro rallies and those started popping up around town.
Walk me through the series of events that went from that conversation at the at the at the gala to the rally yesterday.
Well, thank you for having me on, Jack, and that's absolutely right.
Back in December at the 111th Annual Gala, we had the honor of hosting President Donald J. Trump.
During the event, we were talking a bit, talking about New York in particular, the primary, the general election.
Obviously, New York is very near and dear to the President.
He has a lot of love.
for his hometown and wants to see it thrive once more like all New Yorkers do.
And I mentioned to him a recent video that Newsmax had published from Kara Castronova, where she was doing some man on the street videos in the South Bronx.
And I said, listen, you know, Mr. President, you know, no other, you know, Republican or Democrat president has successfully had a had a successful visit to the South Bronx.
Carter couldn't do it.
Reagan couldn't do it.
But I think there's a lot of groundswell support there.
You really should consider potentially visiting.
And shortly thereafter, in January, we began speaking with the Trump team, scouting locations.
This turned originally from a smaller retail style event, Retail stopped, like we did at the Bodega.
They turned it into maybe an indoor event.
Indoor was too small, turned into an outdoor event.
It went from more of a meet-and-greet roundtable to a full rally.
We ended up looking into a bunch of different parks in the South Bronx, and we found the largest park we could, Crotona Park, which is south of Fordham Road, so South Bronx proper.
And we connected them with Joe Borelli, who did the paperwork to get the permit for that venue.
And obviously, the City of New York was going to make it very difficult To get permit for enough people which will come up probably later in the show.
We discussed the crowd size But came together the club started promoting this in earnest this past week We printed almost six to seven thousand flyers double-sided bilingual in English and Spanish Promoting the event working with our friends in the Bodega Association and the Hispanic National Supermarket Association To distribute them through their routes and then we booked a bunch of electronic billboards at key intersections across the South Bronx
that had the advertisement for the rally up all day, multiple days, almost 72 hours in total.
So we really pushed this thing hard, brought in about 65 volunteers.
We had voter registration tables set up throughout.
We set up the entire, you know, set up there right in the park.
It was incredible.
And listen, you know, a lot of people were hoping for this to fail, not just Democrats, but also establishment Republicans.
And listen, when it was raining in the morning.
Many people thought maybe this would be a dud, but I think we proved all the haters wrong.
This was a smashing success.
The line was about a mile back.
We had a permit for 4,000 people.
The NYPD estimated eight times that amount showed up.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to get as many people in as we would have liked, but this was a historic and resounding success nonetheless.
All right, so let's go right to it.
I was up last night looking around all of Twitter and couldn't find any aerial shots.
And it was really strange that none of the news stations, the local news outlets in New York had any aerial shots.
I found one.
I found exactly one aerial shot.
And guys, if we have that, let's put it up.
If we don't have it, let's get it.
The one that I tweeted out last night.
But that was a huge kind of like red flag for me was, wait a minute, where are the aerial shots?
Why are people trying to diminish this?
Now, this morning I wake up, there's this like this dueling argument over shots.
Who's, you know, was one shot done early, was one shot done later, etc, etc.
So what's the truth?
What's the actual truth from what you've been able to put together as one of the event organizers and someone who's fully upsourced in New York regarding crowd size?
Plus, tell me about the people that you just mentioned who were held back outside.
Absolutely.
Well, there's a few things to mention here.
One, security was controlled by Secret Service.
They have these mags.
It's like it's like TSA going on an airport and they were processing people as fast as they could.
But it wasn't enough.
There weren't enough mags because probably because this is always a constant fight between service and the campaign to get more mags.
I've seen this at other events.
I saw this at our own event at the gala.
So this is always an issue, not to mention the city of New York.
The same thing happened to us at a Turning Point event last summer.
And people got stuck.
I was there.
Two mags.
Charlie actually went outside and because everyone's like in West Palm standing outside in like 90 degree massive or 100 degree massive humidity.
Charlie Kirk went.
So I'm like I'm like up on the stage with my kid and we're doing like we're just like making up stuff to try to entertain the crowd because they're stuck for these mags.
And Charlie Kirk went out handing water bottles and shook every single person's hand waiting in line.
No, I love that.
We were doing something very similar.
We brought in, we had our friends from the Loud Majority.
They had their trucks, so we were able to bring in about 6,000 bottles of water.
I saw that, yeah.
Yeah, we were bringing them out.
We were throwing them into the crowd.
You know, we were doing some crowd work.
It was great.
I was trying to tell them, don't kill me, I'm just a messenger.
But listen, it was unbelievable.
And these people talking about the size.
Listen, this crowd size stuff is absolutely ridiculous.
Even in the photos that they're showing, they're already in those photos close to 5,000 people.
What they're not showing was that there were more people outside of the Secret Service clean area, outside of the mags, than there were inside.
The line went back a mile, well into the neighborhood.
It was wrapping around.
They had to cut the line off because too many people were coming and they couldn't process them.
Quick enough.
So it was absolutely pandemonium.
And we were trying our best.
The president talked way longer than he was scheduled to speak.
And what you saw happening, the second all these people were getting through the mags, they were sprinting up the hill, running towards the circular area where President Trump was speaking.
And of course, these photos from above, they're not panned out enough to show that there is a larger sea of red a little bit further back, there's a space of green.
Then you have the Secret Service mags.
And then there's a mile long a line of people all in MAGA hats completely took over the area.
They were they we outnumbered the protesters like 50 to one.
And they weren't even like pro Biden protesters.
They like rented the Palestinian crowd who came up and were just as anti-Biden as they were Trump.
They weren't able to put on a protest in any of the days leading up to the rally.
And anyone talking about these people not being from the Bronx.
I know there was a lot of people online right now claiming that this was not a Bronx crowd.
This was not a New York crowd.
Absolute bogus.
This is a park deep in the South Bronx.
There's absolutely no parking.
There's no parking garages.
There's no massive parking lots.
The best way to get to this place is through the subway.
And the vast majority of people there, if they weren't coming through the subway, they were walking from the neighboring area.
And we had people distributing lit in the hours leading up to the event.
And if you look at the crowd, if you saw the crowd, it was very bilingual.
It was very much a New York crowd.
It was very much a Bronx crowd.
Were there people that were not from the Bronx?
Absolutely.
There were people from Upper Manhattan.
There were people from Brooklyn.
There were people from Queens.
There were people from the surrounding areas.
But this was through and through a Bronx crowd by and large.
And it was not your usual Trump rally crowd.
It was very different.
It was a lot of first time voters.
It was a lot of people that were maybe on the fence that were nearby that heard about it, that got one of our flyers that said, come by.
They walked into the park and they gravitated towards the president and they respected him for doing it.
Even if they may not agree with him on everything, they at least respect him for showing up, sticking to his guns, sticking to his principles and speaking to the South Bronx.
So by every metric, size of the crowd, who the crowd was composed of, the message delivered at this historic crowd, this was a success and the haters can only continue to push false narratives.
What do you make of the media response?
I'm sure you've seen a little bit of just people absolutely Anderson Cooper losing the minds that Trump was able to do this in a state and a district that are supposed to be, you know, bluer than Beria.
No, it's so funny.
You see these guys, they were going through all these different stages of grief because when they're on the ground, they couldn't lie.
They couldn't gaslight.
You know, the visuals were right in front of them.
So that's why they've shifted more towards crowd size, which was kind of out of our control because, again, of the security situation.
But rather than talking about where these people were from and listen, I think you see the response from AOC and all these other Democrat left wing hacks that have been running the Bronx into the grounds for generations, for decades.
They've never faced any political competition.
They have their little fiefdoms.
They always win their elections and they do nothing to further their own constituents's welfare and well-being.
And all of a sudden, the big guy comes to town and they're losing their minds.
They have no idea how to handle it.
So you have AOC praying for rain in the morning.
You have Richie Torres and all these guys trying to shut down the subways.
And it's so funny.
They're showing their hand, Jack, because it's if the narrative is he has no support in the Bronx and he's going to embarrass himself with a small crowd, then why are you trying to shut the event down?
Just let the event go on and let's see how small his support is.
But they knew they knew that he was going to get a massive outpouring of support from the Bronx.
That's why they wanted to shut it down.
That's why they threw this pathetic town hall with had 12 people slid.
We've got a quick break coming up, but I'm saying, are you saying that the unions are having trouble delivering people?
They're only good at delivering ballots?
Is that what you're telling me?
to get a rally together.
They had to fall back on the unions and even the unions couldn't deliver them, the people to protest this.
So they got absolutely Trump in New York City by Trump himself. - We've got a quick break coming up, but I'm saying, are you saying that the unions are having trouble delivering people?
They're only good at delivering ballots?
Is that what you're telling me?
It's funny how that works. - I'm saying. - We have a similar situation in Philly.
Urban politics.
We're right back.
We've seen better turning out ballast than the Arab up.
Why would that be?
Why would that be?
Be right back.
We're going to get to the bottom of this mystery here, Human Events Daily.
In the hood, I rolled with bloods.
And them boys had a saying.
You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trim out his alitzabam ship, nippy bam bam, like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

Gavin Wax, I want you to fact check me on this because you know better than I. As far as I can tell, President Trump has not given a public speech like this.
since the night of November 8th, 2016, his victory speech, which, you know, arguably wasn't really public, but a large, you know, rally like speech like this within the confines of New York City since the night that he won the election.
Proud to say I was there in attendance.
What does this mean?
The connection between New York and MAGA and 2016 New York, What is the difference between New York Trump and Florida Trump?
Why does it feel like so much is coming back together that has led to this Bronx rally taking on, you know, it's also it's about the people there, but it's also about what it means symbolically.
Yeah, no, a lot of great points and questions there.
I think you're probably right.
I don't know of a general election rally that he's done in New York City, certainly in the last eight years.
He may have done something during the primary on Staten Island.
He's obviously done some retail stuff.
He's done his announcement and his victory.
Uh, you know, speech.
I don't know if those qualify as full scale rallies.
So this is definitely, uh, first of its kind in many ways, including for President Trump.
But listen, I think it means a lot.
I think New York, uh, he was, he was born here.
He was raised here.
He built his business empire here.
Uh, this is really where he came, uh, to be, you know, who we know him as today.
He's a, he's a guy from New York.
He's a guy from Queens.
He's a, he's a man of the outer boroughs.
And frankly, his America First style populism in many ways is a New York movement.
I've said this before, it's the kind of populism that exists in the outer boroughs going back over a generation or two.
It used to be among more working class Democrats.
Now it's become the populism It's a vacation state.
It's where you go fun.
It's where you go to relax.
And it's a great place for that.
both in New York and elsewhere.
But coming back home, coming back to New York, being in New York, I think in some ways, silver lining has been great.
I mean, look, you know, say what you want about Florida, but people tend to get a little comfortable down there in the Florida sun.
I think you need seasons. - Exactly what I said yesterday.
That's exactly what I said yesterday.
It's a vacation state.
It's where you go for fun.
It's where you go to relax.
And it's a great place for that.
It's absolutely wonderful.
But it's not the place where you go to work.
It's not the place where you go for a fight.
It's not the place where you go to to build massive and, you know, imperial capitals like New York City.
And and I think there's just a different energy in the streets of New York.
And he is channeling that he's tapping right into it.
And I've always said that Trump Tower is like his bat cave.
He goes in there and he powers up.
I agree.
And listen, he even talked about that.
I mean, he really localized the speech, talking about his New York history, talking about New York themes, talking about the very type of, you know, energy that New York brings, for better or for worse.
And it's certainly much more of a fighting spirit.
Being from New York, you're definitely, you know, used to the grind, you're used to pushing through and fighting for things.
It's not the laid back, you know, easy come, easy go state.
And I think in politics especially, it's a cutthroat area, both for Republican politics and for Democrat politics.
And I think President Trump being back in New York during this time, I think they've woken up a sleeping giant in a lot of ways, and they brought back a lot of his New York energy, New York spirit and spunk, and I think it's amazing.
We saw it yesterday, we've been seeing it on the campaign trail recently, and I think they've really miscalculated in a lot of ways keeping him in New York.
He said, fine, then I'll take the fight to you.
I'll take it to your backyard.
I'll go into the belly of the beast.
And we've been seeing polling at a Siena, which is a decent pollster for New York, particularly when it comes to gubernatorial races.
They've been showing this has been a race that's been tightening month over month.
It's beginning a point better each month.
Now it's about a nine point difference in New York, which is crazy.
If these trends continue in six months, you could be within the margin of error in terms of these polls.
And I certainly think he's going to have a boost after this latest rally.
And again, it's not necessarily about winning New York.
It's not I'm not trying to say that's a huge possibility, but you're making them spend money.
You're making them expend resources.
You're putting them on the back foot.
You're making them play defense for once.
And you're making a play to really cement your national popular vote win, which may be not, you know, a pure electoral thing, but it's certainly a narrative.
positive boost if you win that popular vote.
And you could do that with a little bit of a few rallies in New York.
It also helps down ballot Republicans.
Obviously the House conference came through New York.
So a lot of strategic benefit here and politics is all about the margins.
You know, if you told me in 10 years, New York would be a purple state, I believe you.
Lee Zelda got 47% in this gubernatorial race.
You know, we're seeing trends similar in New Jersey and other places.
So a lot of people are becoming sick of the one party Democrat rule.
They've seen the mismanagement.
They've seen the corruption.
President Trump is helping to expose it, helping to call it out, and he's winning over new voters, so all the power to him.
Let me ask you, let me shift gears for a second here because there's been an issue that I've been fascinated with and I've been discussing here on the program a little bit, something that I think you're familiar with, and there's a group of people that I refer to now as the woke right.
And the woke right now, there's, there's multiple definitions out there for woke, right?
And it didn't start as something that I use, but I've decided to reappropriate it and flip it back on a group of people who, you know, kind of refer to themselves as classical liberals.
And they say, we don't like what Trump is doing or, or, or Trump's, you know, Trump supporters are doing because we think it's, there's too much government involved or there's, you know, you're calling for these big sweeping changes.
You know, we should just go in and tell people to get back to Ronald Reagan and go back to the Constitution.
And they're like wildly attacking my new book on humans.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are no no fans of your book on populism, either the new the emerging populist majority.
And what is with this group of people?
It's like is woken is defeated and they're just on to their new grift.
Or is something more afoot?
By the way, we've also seen a number of leaks through the journalist targeting people like Lómez and now targeting people smearing places like Claremont and CPI saying, oh, these are Christian nationalist organizations.
The Christian nationalists are coming in.
Gavin, where is all this coming from?
Listen, I think you said it right.
It's a grift.
I mean, a lot of these guys are controlled opposition.
They're not exactly a large percentage of the population, whether in terms of, you know, Republicans who are voting or conservatives or in general.
These are people that have really lived very comfortably off of the salaries of these think tanks and these other beltway institutions.
or media outlets, and they've been paid over the years to be controlled opposition.
All of a sudden you got President Trump sort of emerged out of nowhere and completely reshaped the Overton window overnight and bring about this new populist energy, this new populist movement that wants to win, that wants to change how Republicans govern, they wanna change how we govern in general, and is willing to use state power when necessary, and is willing to be pragmatic on issues, and is willing to use state power when necessary, and is willing to be pragmatic on issues, I mean, we were attacked viciously recently because we launched a labor caucus following our successful stop with the Steamfitters Union in Midtown, and they were saying, "Oh, how dare you reach out to union voters?
How dare you embrace American labor?
We need to import more labor from abroad.
We need to adopt this neoliberal worldview.
That's the real Republican position." It's like so silly, it's so ridiculous.
At a baseline, these guys are politically inept, electorally inept.
They don't understand how to win.
They don't understand winning messaging.
They don't understand coalitions.
And at worst, they actually have really subversive aims, and they're really trying to push this sort of impotent, you know, chamber of commerce style, Republicanism and conservatism that doesn't wanna tackle economic issues, that doesn't wanna tackle some of the excesses we've seen from the radical left, that doesn't wanna go on the offensive, that doesn't wanna take the that doesn't wanna tackle some of the excesses we've seen from the radical left, that doesn't wanna go on the offensive, that doesn't wanna take the gloves off, that they wanna So much tone policing. -
The rhetoric coming out of the emerging right.
Yeah, and Gavin, not only with the tone policing, but it's also this sort of policing of ideas.
You can't argue that we should be expelling communists.
You can't argue that we should be going after bureaucrats.
You can't argue that we should be taking direct action using lawfare, using harassment, using reciprocity—legal harassment, by the way—against our enemies and our adversaries.
We just need to talk about Ronald Reagan more, go back to the Constitution.
It's like, oh yes, Gavin.
Imagine if we start doing the same things.
Oh, no, the left might do that to us.
It's a joke.
Right.
And the left loves this because they realize this is this is how you make the right impotent.
And this is how the right has been largely impotent for years because they don't understand what time we're living in.
They don't understand, you know, where the country is at.
That's why they LARP about Ronald Reagan ad nauseam, because, listen, say what you want about Ronald Reagan.
And, you know, maybe for his time, the country was certainly different.
There were some more there were some benefits to his policies and to his agenda.
You could also argue that a lot of the things he did led to where we are today.
But at the end of the day, why are you talking about Ronald Reagan?
Do you have any new ideas?
Do you have any new positions?
Do you have any vision for the future besides continuing to harp on, you know, these stale old talking points about, you know, limited government, the free market and the Constitution?
It's not winning over new voters.
People are tired of hearing that and the left loves it when we fall back on this nonsense.
And that doesn't mean I'm anti free market.
That doesn't mean I'm anti Constitution.
That just means I understand what's going on in this country.
And I think we need to be a little bit more dynamic in how we approach electoral politics rather than just.
LARP being like a 1980s, you know, Chicago school style, you know, neoliberal and thinking that's somehow, you know, edgy and dissident and really forward thinking.
It's not, you know, I was watching Milton Friedman videos 10, 10, 15 years ago, you know, high school I was watching.
I mean, they haven't advanced at all.
They haven't advanced.
No, we all were.
And there's nothing unconstitutional about deciding who we want to be here and who we don't want to be here in this There's nothing unconstitutional about wanting people that you know as your neighbors and in your communities, and you don't want your communities filled with strangers who people have different culture, different language, different religion, and different customs from you.
It is not unconstitutional at all.
In fact, it's the very point of the founding of the country.

Kenny Cote joins us next.
Human Rights.
Hey Jack, where is Jack?
Where is 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.
To the gentlemen here today, part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities.
As men, we set the tone of the culture.
And when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction, and chaos set in.
This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation.
Other countries do not have nearly the same absentee father rates as we find here in the U.S., and a correlation could be made in their drastically lower violence rates as well.
Be unapologetic in your masculinity.
Fighting against the cultural emasculation of men.
Do hard things.
Never settle for what is easy.
You might have a talent that you don't necessarily enjoy, but if it glorifies God, maybe you should lean into that over something that you might think suits you better.
So that was Harrison Butker's very controversial speech, and we've got a huge controversy on our hands right now because Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, just came out earlier today, and Taylor Swift's boyfriend decided to slam his own teammate's speech Talking about it, saying, I don't think I agree with most of it.
I don't think I agree with all of it.
Said I like the part where he talked about loving his wife and kids, but he didn't agree with the content of the speech.
By the way, Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift's boyfriend, also went out and did a commencement speech of his own that no one's talking about because all he did up there was chug a beer because he doesn't have anything useful or insightful or interesting at all to say.
I want to bring on now Kenny Cody, who's written a fantastic piece, which everyone needs to go see, at humanevents.com.
Kenny, walk me through the controversy, and I'd love to get your take on why Taylor Swift's boyfriend is slamming Harrison Bucker's speech.
Well, on Travis Kelsey to start off, and I'm glad you mentioned him, it seems like... Who's Travis?
I'm talking about Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift's boyfriend seems willing to do anything for a paycheck.
It's the same reason he got the Pfizer ad.
It paid him millions and millions of dollars.
It's the same reason he took the side of BLM, embraced the LGBTQ movement.
I mean, he's willing to do whatever it takes to appease his corporate donors and the NFL's corporate donors.
But on the side of Harrison Butker, I think that every conservative, and I think every man, should look to Harrison Butker's speech as to how we should model masculinity in the public media, in the public in general.
He represented in that speech what men are supposed to be.
We're supposed to love our wives, our significant others, and we're supposed to embrace what the female and male gender roles are.
I mean, there was nothing wrong with Harrison Butker's speech in the least.
He was simply decrying from the LGBTQ movement the demasculization of men in general.
Trying to say that, you know, the part about it got messed up too.
Butker acknowledged that a lot of these women that graduated from this college are going to go on to have successful careers.
But he just said that the most important role that a woman has is that of a homemaker, is that of a wife, is that of the mother of children and embracing the nuclear family.
And that's all he was doing was just going back to traditionalist roots.
And of course, that he's speaking to a Catholic university, he's speaking to a Catholic college, and he is a devout Catholic.
I don't know how this surprised anybody in the mainstream media on the left.
I don't know what else they expected from Harrison Butker.
And that's the part about it, Jack, that I mentioned in the article.
This was a timed attack.
Harrison Bucker last year gave a speech at his alma mater, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and talked about kind of these similar values.
You know, people have denounced abortion.
He denounced the embrace of the LGBTQ community.
He had denounced a number of societal liberal progressive viewpoints that are being popularized in mainstream media and the American public.
And they have said, okay, that guy is definitely going to make another commencement speech or have another controversy because he's a Christian conservative.
So the next time he makes a mistake, as they would like to call it, we're going to capitalize that and try to cancel him.
And fortunately enough, it seems like, especially like from Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes' comments on Harrison Bucker's speech and basically defending him and his values, besides Taylor Swift's boyfriend, he's being embraced by a lot of male superstars, of male athletes, and those like us in conservative media, he's being embraced.
So it's a good thing to see.
You know, people like Taylor Swift's boyfriend are the reason that Harrison Butker has to give the speech in general, is because men are being demasculated.
They're being ashamed.
As he said in the speech, we need to be unashamed in our masculinity.
And that's one thing to me, and you've talked about before, we need to be unashamed in our values.
That's one thing Harrison Butker definitely hit on during his commencement speech, and I was very proud of him for doing so.
Well, and there's a huge piece here, too, because a lot of people seem to think That masculinity is unanimous, synonymous with lifting weights, working out, drinking beer, watching sports, eating bacon, having a beard or whatever.
There's all these like hipster kind of things associated with masculinity.
But those are certainly all masculine traits.
Certainly there are masculine traits, but they're not necessarily masculine values.
In fact, none of those things are values.
Values are timeless, important building blocks of our relationships, of our families, and then ultimately our neighborhoods, our towns, our villages, our states, and our societies.
And so masculine values are something that need to be brought back into the country.
When I was on with Tucker Carlson, we kind of got touched on this a little bit.
And I said, I said, Tucker, the most masculine word in the English language is the word no.
And he said, what do I mean by that?
And I said, it's the word no, because That ability to simply say no in the face of the the do-gooders and the reformers and the people with the, you know, the good idea fairies out there.
Oh, we should do this.
Oh, we should do that.
And it's it's it's up to the man.
It's up to the father to be able to say no.
It's like, guys, if you can't say no to a woman, then you're not really a man.
I mean, all the time.
And I certainly don't mean arbitrarily.
Absolutely.
I love my wife.
But the point of the matter is, if you can't do that, then you're not really a man.
And when I look at Taylor Swift's boyfriend, it's very clear who wears the pants in that relationship.
It's not even a question!
It's not even a question at all!
What do you think, man?
Well, I mean, yeah.
I mean, I think that no is one of the best words in the English language for conserving male masculine values.
I mean... It is political as well, yes.
Yes, absolutely.
And you know, one thing, like my pastor and I had this conversation last week, you know, no is one of the most beautiful words because we say no To the ways of the world, you know, and being masculine, being spiritual, being, uh, faithful.
I mean, saying no to temptation, saying no to the world, trying to have impact on you is one of the best values a man can have.
Being willing to say no, being willing to not be tempted by the ways of, if you're, if you're a married man, other women, uh, say no to drinking, say no to doing drugs, saying no to doing a number of things that go against your traditional values is a true inherent Masculine value.
And that's a problem that Taylor Smith's boyfriend has.
You have seen how many things he said yes to.
He said yes to going on a number of podcasts, yes to Pfizer, yes to the LGBTQ movement, yes to BLM, yes to being, you know, trying to act like not too traditional to his culture that he's been raised up in.
I mean, there's a number of things that That he has said yes to, and is an example of how masculine value can be devalued and end up where he's ended up.
I mean, the mainstream media on the left, his brother and other people have obviously influenced him to go in another direction.
And he's always had these problems.
I think one of the worst things that he does is says yes too much.
He got in trouble in college for a number of things he said yes to.
He's got a number of his professional life on a number of things he said yes to.
And when, you know, Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid The two leaders of the team that are most synonymous with being professionals, being good coaches, and Mahomes having a case to be an all-time great quarterback.
There's a reason that Kelsey never gets mentioned in those conversations, and it's because he says yes.
To whatever he can or to make a dollar.
And after his professional career is over, when he's not a tight end, and eventually when he's not Taylor Swift's boyfriend anymore, he's going to realize he has said yes to far too many things.
And the reason Harrison Butker is a model and is a role model for men is because he has learned to say no.
And the reason that Travis, Travis Kelce, or like you said, Taylor Swift's boyfriend is not, is because he says yes to everything.
And Harrison Butker, I think, He has gave one of the most significant speeches on masculinity, on Christian conservative values.
Because, like I said, he decried Biden in that speech as well.
He decried his position on abortion.
He has decried the Democrats' handling of COVID-19.
And he decried so many things that the left is canceling him for.
They're using this and trying to mince his words to cancel him in mainstream And public media.
But the reason that they're concentrating on that one word is they're attacking their man.
They're attacking, he's attacking Biden.
They're attacking a conservative's position on abortion.
And I really think that that's the reason he is being targeted.
It's not because of his position on male and female gender roles.
It's solely because he is an enemy because he is willing to speak out and willing to be polarizing when a lot of other people are saying yes instead.
Kenny Cote, humanevents.com.
Everyone needs to see this.
Stay tuned, folks.
We'll be right back because this is a conversation that the country needs to have.
We've been needing to have one for a long time.
Look, guys, it's time to put up.
We let the women have their say.
We let the women decide to be in control of everything.
Look where we are now.
Stay tuned.
We'll be right back.
I hear about the boring people at your office.
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
Jack Posobiec back here, Human Events Daily.
By the way, I'm in Charlotte.
I'm thinking, I don't know, I'm thinking maybe, maybe we have to do a surprise MAGA meetup tomorrow night in Charlotte, North Carolina.
What do you think, folks?
If you're around in Charlotte, North Carolina, stay tuned.
Keep an eye on my Twitter, Truth, Getter, Telegram.
Might have to be announcing a little bit of a surprise mega meetup, but Kenny Cody, I wanted to dig back into this issue with you here because the question of masculinity in our society and this idea that, you know, people say like, oh, well, it's time for the men to be back in control.
I said, no, no, no, no.
I think it's time for, I think the best way is for balance.
I think the best way is for balance is that men and women should each have a say.
But this is a huge problem, because I look at government schools, I look at public schools all the time, and you see these programs for girls, and yet boys are told from the very start that the way they're acting and the way they're being and their natural state is completely wrong, that they shouldn't be feeling that way, and the minute that they start acting up, boom!
It's like, let's throw some pills into that kid and turn him into a zombie, just for acting like a little boy.
Yeah.
I mean, I mean, it's, it's, it's very evidence, but like, and I'm glad in Tennessee, at least we have passed laws to prevent biological women from participating in men's sports and vice versa.
Because I think that we have been, have been integrated in society that boys need to be raised to be masculine and females need to be raised to be feminine.
I mean, we have our traditional roles.
Now that doesn't mean that women don't have a voice in politics or in the household or anything else.
But we all have innate responsibilities.
You know, I saw Charlie Kirk go on, I forget what the podcast is called, I think the Whatever Podcast, and he was talking about, you know, there is a sense of, you know, women are better at some things than men are, and men are better at things than women are.
Men are better in investments, we're better at Managing money.
We're better at being CEOs of companies.
Women are better at understanding people, understanding conversations, understanding relationships, and understanding being homemakers.
And that is an okay thing.
Where that has been lost and the nuclear family has been rejected has come over the last 10 to 15 years.
And that's not anything that is at the fault of the conservative right or the religious right.
It's because of the embrace of world values, spiritual and nuclear family values.
You know, that's one of the reasons Harrison Bucker's speech was demonized by the media.
It's, it's, we're wanting to get away from the original Christian values that the United States was founded upon.
And I don't really understand why that's been rejected so much because it's made men the best and most successful men and women of the world where they are.
And, you know, if you looked at to the, to the top millionaires, billionaires, CEOs of companies, I mean, a lot of them are backed by family values.
I mean, it leads to success.
A innate family structure, a two-parent household, is what leads people to being successful.
And I think that that chasing away is leading to men not graduating college at the associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees level.
It's encouraging them to go away from vocation.
And I think that the erosion of society that we're seeing is us going away from masculine, traditional, and Christian value.
And if we're able to embrace that, Look, it's as simple as this, right?
his commencement speech, I think we can get back on the right path.
And hopefully by these new political movements with the MAGA movement, with the socially conservative movement that we're seeing in so many states and different countries, I think we're going to be able to get back to that.
But it's going to take the embrace of men like Harrison Becker over the embrace of people like Taylor Swift's boyfriend.
Look, it's as simple as this, right?
You know, in a perfect world, I think Trump said it himself.
He said, do I wish Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey well?
He said, I hope they're together for a long time.
They probably won't be, though.
They're just savage, straight savagery.
And we understand that there's something generally wrong with the way our society is being run.
There's an imbalance between the genders.
There's an imbalance in relationships.
There's an imbalance.
Everything's off balance, like everything is completely off balance.
And so there's something where Trump being This this traditional self actualized man is is so shocking to the system because that the system itself, the systemization of using a system to deal with your problems of any of our problems in the avoidance of direct confrontation.
That's feminine coded.
That's completely female coded that we're going to have a system we're going to have a community response.
We're going to have a committee and people will submit their complaints to a committee.
Whereas man, how do we solve things?
We solve them man to man.
That's even how we call it.
That's even the phrase for it is man to man.
So I'm going to say we're going to sell that man to man.
We're going to take care of that man to man.
Hey, talk to me man to man.
Or if I go to my son, I say we're going to have a man to man talk.
And he knows what that means.
Or if I tell my wife, we're going to have a man to man talk, that means she's going to step over here.
He and I are going to have a man to man talk.
It happens.
It comes up.
It's natural.
It's part of life.
But the problem is that we have spent billions and billions of dollars and all of these years trying to remove that masculine coded, masculine coded action and behavior from our society that we have created an unnatural form and an unbalanced society.
Yeah.
I mean, I think, I think it's that embrace of the world.
Like we're trying to all be equal and we're just not.
Like the reason that like a community organizer eventually got elected president in 2008, it's because we have went away from the traditional masculine values that men are supposed to have.
We all have to get in a meeting room and we all have to have the same voice, but well, no, that's not the way society has worked for hundreds of years.
It's not the way that the most successful men and women in our world have become and rose and risen To what they have risen to.
We have to be able to know our roles.
We have to be able to know when to speak out.
We have to know when women need to talk.
We have to know when men need to talk.
There isn't anything wrong with separating those roles and people succeeding in those roles.
It's why the nuclear family is the most successful structure in all of human life.
It's because when a man and a woman raise children, when they're both present in the household, You see such a high collegiate success rate.
You see a high professional success rate.
You raise people to go away from crime.
You raise people to go away from addiction, from drug and alcohol addiction, or for going out and being worthless.
If you have a nuclear family, you are much less likely to raise children that are going to go into those things.
You're more likely to raise people who are going to be the men and the women that are going to facilitate the most successful family structure that there can be in American life.
Amen.
I want to say thank you to everybody for making us one of the top two live streams on X right now.
I also want to let everybody know, huge Memorial Day special coming up on Monday.
General Flynn, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer will be here.
