| 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. | |
| L.A. | |
| police forced to move in and separate Pope Hallucinian and pro-Israel supporters. | |
| The two groups clashed in front of a synagogue in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood. | |
| Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is indicating the war in Gaza could soon be entering a new phase. | |
| He told Israel TV Sunday night that the intensive phase of Israel's war on Hamas and Rafah is quote, about to end. | |
| But he also clarified that it does not mean the conflict itself is winding down. | |
| He reiterated his promise not to end the war before Hamas is destroyed. | |
| What we're seeing from President Biden is a lot of time, a methodical approach going through different policy positions with his advisors at Camp David. | |
| Top sources tell me President Biden wants to frame Trump at this debate as a threat to democracy. | |
| Former President Trump, it's much more of an extemporaneous process, making phone calls to friends and advisors, even some senators, getting some tidbits on policy, but mostly preparing to shrug off Biden's attacks and frame the Biden administration as a disaster. | |
| On day one, I will seal the border, stop the invasion, and send Joe Biden's illegal aliens the hell back home. | |
| It takes someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper, Donald Trump, to see that Jake Tapper has- Ma'am, we're going to stop this interview if you're going to keep attacking my colleagues. | |
| Ma'am, I'm going to stop this interview if you continue to attack my colleagues. | |
| I would like to talk about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who you work for. | |
| If you are here to speak on his behalf, I am willing to have this conversation. | |
| I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past. | |
| Okay, I'm sorry guys, we're going to come back out to the panel. | |
| Caroline, thank you very much for your time. | |
| You are welcome to come back at any point. | |
| She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump. | |
| Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live from Washington, D.C. | |
| Today is July, excuse me, today is June 24th, 2024. | |
| Anno Domini, get a little excited, a little ahead of myself for the 4th of July. | |
| We got the new book, Unhumans, which is coming out on July 2nd. | |
| So make sure you get your copy while we have this so you can read it on the 4th of July weekend. | |
| What better time to learn about America's freedom from godless atheist communists, which the whole book is about, and learning about the fact that Senator Joseph McCarthy was 100% right and the only thing McCarthy did wrong was not go far enough. | |
| So what better time to learn all about that Then the 4th of July. | |
| But see, we got to do a little bit of education, folks, because it turns out, it turns out that CNN says we're not allowed to criminalize, we're not allowed to criticize Jake Taper. | |
| We're not allowed to criticize Jake Taper. | |
| We're not allowed. | |
| Well, Jake, I got to tell you something. | |
| Oh, my stars. | |
| Look at the time. | |
| It's Jake o'clock. | |
| You see, because we remember Jake Taper for being the man who Falsely corroborated the Russiagate dossier. | |
| Remember the PP dossier? | |
| Yeah, that was Jake Taper. | |
| You remember the same guy who tried to convince Sean Parnell to not run as a Republican in the state of Pennsylvania in his own district against a Democrat named Conor Lamb? | |
| Oh right, that was Jake Taper. | |
| Do you remember another guy, by the way, Who claimed that Trump was a secret Russian agent just before a man named James T. Hodgkinson drove across half the country and shot up a Republican congressional baseball game. | |
| Alright, that was Jake Taper again. | |
| Jake Taper who cuts off CNN. | |
| Orders CNN to cut off the shoot when a crowd of Cubanos is singing Happy Birthday. | |
| I believe they call it Feliz Cumpleaños, Jake. | |
| They call it Feliz Cumpleaños. | |
| And they were singing that to Donald J. Trump, and you demanded that they be shut off. | |
| Oh, Jake O'Clock is so much fun. | |
| By the way, this is the same guy. | |
| We remember the Russian bounties hoax. | |
| We remember Alpha Bank. | |
| We remember Jussie Smollett. | |
| We remember the Covington kids. | |
| We remember Kyle Rittenhouse, the NASCAR nooses. | |
| We remember that Jake Taper Going and telling Fauci that Christmas probably isn't possible for the unvaccinated. | |
| Yes, I remember and then Jake Taper falsely accusing anyone who criticized him of anti-Semitic dog whistles. | |
| The man who compares Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler every single time he wakes up in the morning. | |
| And my personal favorite, the best for last, when Jake Taper Accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of running an underage gang-rape, train-rape gang while in high school. | |
| Jake Taper, take a bow. | |
| What a democracy we have. | |

| Now, we know that we can all laugh about how much CNN sucks. | |
| We can all laugh about how much, I think Steve Bannon's got a new song, he's calling it the CNN sucks theme song that he was singing this morning and I saw some people were putting that to, I don't know if that was AI or people were actually singing it or what, but look, one week from now, And this is serious. | |
| So let's get a little bit serious here that Steve Bannon is currently scheduled to surrender one week from today to federal prison. | |
| He's currently scheduled to surrender at FCI Danbury, which is in Danbury, Connecticut. | |
| This is completely unprecedented in terms of the U.S. | |
| Republic. | |
| The fact that Peter Navarro is already behind bars. | |
| The fact that we're already looking at a situation where the President, former President of the United States, is now being sentenced on July 11th, just days before the invocation of the Republican National Committee. | |
| And so to break down with this and just everything that's going on, we've got Congressman Eric Burleson, who's on here. | |
| I was able to meet him over the, well, I guess two weekends ago now at the Detroit Turning Point Action, incredible event that we held there in the Midwest. | |
| He is from the Show-Me State, the great state of Missouri. | |
| Congressman Burleson joins us now. | |
| Thank you, Congressman. | |
| Great to be on, Jack. | |
| Talk to us not just about the danger that these prosecutions pose for our republic, I think our republic is hanging by a thread at this point, but also steps that we could potentially take to fight back. | |
| Yeah, I think that we're at war, the Democrats are at war with us, but we don't seem to recognize it, unfortunately. | |
| They're doing everything they can to send President Trump to jail to stop him from winning this election. | |
| They're going after not only him, but everyone that's adjacent to him. | |
| Clearly, they've sent Peter Navarro to jail. | |
| They attempted to send Roger Stone to jail. | |
| They sent Dinesh D'Souza to jail, and now they're trying to send Steve Bannon to jail. | |
| I think that we owe it to the American people to push back. | |
| I get a sense of frustration from my constituents that we're not doing enough. | |
| And look, I'm a freshman. | |
| One wouldn't expect me to try to take a lead on this, but when other people are not taking any actions, a freshman like myself has to step forward. | |
| And so I've got a resolution. | |
| I've got several co-sponsors, including Matt Gaetz and Marjorie, Andy Biggs. | |
| Lots of heavy hitters in Congress have co-sponsored this resolution. | |
| That declares the January 6th Committee to be an illegitimate committee, that we send a message to the Justice Department that any court actions or prosecutions should be dropped or set aside, that any sentencing should be commuted, and that the Speaker of the House is to instruct the Attorney General on the decision of the House. | |
| And hopefully, we'll be able to take up this resolution and pass it. | |
| Now in terms of let's let's talk about the sausage a little bit here so in terms of that you mentioned that you have a number of co-sponsors that's fantastic congratulations by the way on that but also I congratulate you personally for actually doing something to step up and correct the errors of the January 6th committee but let's talk about the traction process so where is the committee now Excuse me, where is this resolution in committee now? | |
| Is it being tabled? | |
| Do you know if there's a vote coming? | |
| Are you getting any traction? | |
| What are you hearing up there? | |
| Well, we filed the resolution last week. | |
| We're trying to get the Speaker and House leadership to take attention to it. | |
| There's another option that the Speaker has, which is to use the bipartisan legal action committee, and it's called the BLAG. | |
| And the Speaker doesn't have to bring anything to the vote of the entire Congress. | |
| The Speaker could just have a vote of the blag and take action to, for example, write an amicus brief on behalf of, you know, as a sense of Congress that these actions should be taken. | |
| So, There's different avenues. | |
| This is the only power or the tool that I have as a rank and file member of Congress. | |
| And so I'm using this as much as I can, hopefully to shed more light on this topic and hopefully bring attention so that we prioritize this and we do something about it. | |
| Because you're right, Jack, we cannot let the history books, this part of the story, sit where it is. | |
| We owe it to the American people and to history to correct what the January 6th Committee did. | |
| Well, and this is absolutely prescient, because as you say, not only is it something which should be corrected for the annals of history, because again, we're already seeing my, so my co-author Joshua Lysak actually found in a, I guess a pamphlet, it wasn't a textbook yet, but it was a pamphlet, one of those sort of magazines for kids that the Smithsonian Institute does, and it talked about January 6th. | |
| And it said that according to the January 6th Committee, again this was written for children, according to the January 6th Committee that Donald Trump instructed his supporters and incited his supporters to launch an insurrection on the Capitol. | |
| So it was just straight up their narrative directly verbatim written out in a textbook for children put out by the Smithsonian. | |
| And if that isn't something That makes everybody's hair on the back of their neck stand up on end and understand that, as you say, this isn't just a fight about Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro and everyone else with all the J6ers who are currently facing prosecution. | |
| It's about them, certainly, but it is so much more important that we get this right now while we have the time to correct the record or because history, guess what, boys and girls, it's already being written. | |
| Congressman. | |
| You're absolutely right, Jack. | |
| It's bigger than the cases for Bannon and Navarro. | |
| It's absolutely bigger, and I think that we're at an inflection point. | |
| We are either going to be at a crossroads where we lose this republic altogether, and people look back in different government structures and say, look back nostalgically at what America once was and what it used to be until we allowed our judicial system to tear us apart, or We're going to elect Donald Trump, and then we're going to set the correct course and undo a lot of these wrongs that have been done. | |
| And, you know, it's kind of funny. | |
| There's that old tweet that runs around that says, if the news are fake, imagine history. | |
| And so the idea being, then, that if we don't take steps to rewrite the record, if we don't take steps immediately, if Republicans don't use the type of energy that Congressman Berlusconi has exactly right now Yeah, and I think there's a lot more that we could be doing. | |
| about double standards. | |
| They'll say, oh, the left is doing this. | |
| Oh, the left is going too far. | |
| They're going to continue doing that until people actually step up and do something about it. | |
| Isn't that right, Congressman? | |
| Yeah, and I think there's a lot more that we could be doing. | |
| Look, we are supposedly controlling the power of the purse, but yet we continue to fund this part of the government that's being used as a weapon against American patriots. | |
| And look, I find that, unfortunately, the one disappointment that I've had as a freshman is how feckless and ineffective my own party is to But hopefully if we get a stronger majority and we get someone like Trump elected, courage can be contagious and Trump hopefully can inspire the rest of us to take action and do what's right. | |
| And it simply is that. | |
| Courage is the virtue on which all others rest. | |
| Courage is the ultimate virtue. | |
| And so, if people do not have courage, you can say, well, I don't have courage, but I have principles. | |
| And they say, oh, that's great. | |
| You have principles. | |
| That's wonderful. | |
| But if you have no courage to actually see those principles put into practice, To achieve the results that you claim you want, then what's the point of the principles? | |
| What's the point? | |
| And I hear people all the time. | |
| They're debating philosophy. | |
| They say, oh, should we have tariffs? | |
| Should we not have tariffs? | |
| Should we have this tax? | |
| Should we have that tax? | |
| Those are all interesting debates. | |
| I love those debates myself, personally. | |
| But without the courage of the convictions to actually see them put into practice, they're kind of meaningless. | |
| Yeah, and that's what we see a lot of is talk in DC, particularly from the Uniparty. | |
| They respect the establishment, the institutions, but the Democratic Party, when they have power and any power that they have, they weaponize the institutions against us. | |
| And yet we're taking a knife into a gunfight, probably into a war that we're facing with the Democrats. | |
| And I think that people back home, my constituents, they're sick and tired of it, and they want to see action. | |
| They want to see this stopped. | |
| It's as simple as that, folks. | |
| Hang tight there, Congressman. | |
| We've got a quick break coming up. | |
| up. | |
| I want to get some more information about what's going on in Congress up on Capitol Hill this summer when we return Human Events Daily. | |
| I rolled with bloods. | |
| Bye. | |
| And them boys had a saying. | |
| You can't be listening to all that slappy whack. | |
| Trim out his eyelids, a bam, ship. | |
| Nippy, bam, bam. | |
| Like Human Events with Jack Posobiec. | |
| All right, Jack Posobiec back live here, Human Events Daily. | |
| So it's debate week, folks. | |
| We know it's debate week. | |
| We know this is coming up. | |
| But I do want to also talk about the fact that what they're doing, and I was up in Pennsylvania this weekend. | |
| I got to go to my alma mater. | |
| I got to spend some time in my hometown. | |
| And while I was there at Temple University, I saw more people registering voters than I saw at any Trump or political, just political event in general that I've ever been at in 20 years. | |
| I thought about that. | |
| Yeah. | |
| 20 years of going to events and 20 years ago, I was the chairman of the Temple College Republicans, and we couldn't get anyone to come to Philadelphia. | |
| And I kept telling people that if you come to Philadelphia, you can pick up votes to win the state of Pennsylvania. | |
| This is incumbent. | |
| President Trump understands this. | |
| If you get 25%, if Trump as a Republican gets 25% in the state of PA, he's right back in the White House. | |
| That's all he needs. | |
| You run that up. | |
| And then, of course, he's out there in South Philly. | |
| He's with the Italians. | |
| He goes to Tony Luke's. | |
| I know they call it Tony and Nick's now, but to me, it'll always be Tony Luke's. | |
| And he's down there. | |
| They wouldn't even let him go down in South Philly getting those cheesesteaks that he stopped at before he went up to Temple. | |
| He's up there getting completely mobbed. | |
| And people got to know that South Philly is like the Staten Island of Philadelphia, right? | |
| This is the ward that always votes for Trump. | |
| They're the ward where it's just diehard Trump supporters. | |
| This is Rocky Philly. | |
| This is hard scrabble, hard working class, and Trump even pointed at them and said, you're the type of people that built America. | |
| He said that when he was there, and that meant a lot to them. | |
| And the fact that other Republicans wouldn't even come down, they wouldn't even spend time, they wouldn't hold rallies, they'd bounce around and get out, and that's all it ever was. | |
| They'd like grab a cheesesteak, it's like, it was in Philly, and then they'd be out. | |
| But Trump actually spent time, by the way, South Philly was the only place In 2020, where a statue was targeted by the left for removal, this time it was a statue of Christopher Columbus and all the Italian Americans and even the Polish Americans, all the Catholics, all the people came down and said, You're not taking Chris down. | |
| You're not taking it away. | |
| And they all stood there and guarded the statue day and night so that the state and the city would not be able to take it down. | |
| Then, by the way, the mayor of the city at the time, Jim Kennedy, the clown, put a box around Christopher Columbus. | |
| They said that was going to be like the compromise. | |
| Okay, we'll put the box around it. | |
| And then they went at night, they hopped the fence, and painted the Italian flag on it. | |
| So, that's South Philly for you. | |
| Here's how upset the Democrats are though, and this is what you have to understand. | |
| Here's how upset the Democrats are about the early voting push and the early registration push in Pennsylvania. | |
| They're running fake ads against Trump about it, and we've got the ad, we're gonna play it now. | |
| Mail-in voting is totally corrupt. | |
| Get that through your head. | |
| It has to be. | |
| There's fraud. | |
| They found them in creeks. | |
| They found some with the name Trump just the other day in a waste paper basket. | |
| All of the things that are happening with votes by mail, I'm not going to say which party does it, but thousands of votes are gathered and they come in and they're dumped in a location and then all of a sudden you lose elections if you think you're going to win. | |
| Jack Soek back live. | |
| So what we're saying here is that's an ad. | |
| And Congressman, I've got to get your comment on this. | |
| That's an ad targeting Pennsylvania voters, telling them that Trump doesn't want them to vote early, even though it's obvious that he's referring to errors in the 2020 election. | |
| They've taken it out of context and make it sound like he's talking about this election. | |
| Meanwhile, there's a guy I know who's at this point, he's a buddy of mine, Doug Mackey, who they are trying to put in jail, just as you say, Congressman, over a meme that was joking about Hillary voters voting by text. | |
| Congressman, what's your response to the type of lawfare or the lack of lawfare, the amount of lawlessness when we see from the Democrats? | |
| Yeah, it's pretty disgustingly hypocritical because this is a party who talks about protecting voter rights. | |
| But that is absolutely voter suppression when you're trying to target Republicans or anyone who might consider voting for Trump. | |
| I think that the Democratic Party ought to be ashamed of themselves for trying to commit voter suppression. | |
| Well, it's clearly voter suppression, and if we wanted to play that game of 18 U.S.C., I think it's Section 242, conspiracy against rights, well, that's exactly what the Democrats are doing. | |
| They're telling people that Trump doesn't want you to vote early, and yet we know that that is the stated purpose. | |
| Yet it's totally fine for them to run ads, but a guy posts memes on Twitter, making the old joke about, you know, Democrats vote on Wednesday. | |
| Joke, joke, joke, Merrick Garland. | |
| You know, I don't care. | |
| Come after me. | |
| Fine. | |
| Come after me. | |
| But Congressman, with all of this setting the table, with CNN cutting off Trump spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt, the great Caroline Leavitt, who's a friend of this show, frequent guest, what are you expecting going into the debate on Thursday? | |
| I think it's going to probably be as rigged as it possibly can against President Trump. | |
| I think that we should not underestimate Joe Biden. | |
| Look, Most dementia patients can at least have one or two moments of clarity throughout the day. | |
| I watched him as he gave the State of the Union this year and expected him to be low energy Joe, but he looked like he was jacked up on Mountain Dew or something. | |
| And I fully expect that's what he's going to do. | |
| That's what they're going to do in this debate. | |
| So I don't think that we ought to underestimate Joe Biden, and I don't think we're going to see sleepy Joe. | |
| We're going to see angry Joe. | |
| But I think that Trump knows how to handle him. | |
| I think that— Actually, actually, Congressman, my friend, I know you met him, I think, as well, BrickSuit, the great BrickSuit, who goes to all the rallies, he had a tweet up that's going super viral. | |
| I have to say, it was very interesting theory. | |
| His theory is that when they take Biden to Camp David, right, off-site, up in Maryland, He says it's not necessarily that they're trying to get his medications dialed in. | |
| He thinks they're actually changing his sleep schedule. | |
| I love this theory because he usually, you know, kind of calls a lid sort of in the early afternoon, mid-afternoon, right at 5 p.m. | |
| and he's done. | |
| Doesn't usually hold events. | |
| But as you say, he was very wired for that State of the Union and he also took some time off prior to that. | |
| And so Brick suits theory was they're changing his sleep schedule around so that he'll wake up later in the day and thus The evening will feel like morning for him. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I used to work nights though. | |
| So it kind of reminds me of that Whatever it is smelling salts Mountain Dew they're gonna do whatever they can to give him lots of lots of energy and If that's what we're expecting, then I think we're going to fail. | |
| I think Joe Biden should have to defend his record. | |
| He should have to defend the open borders, should have to defend this terrible economy, the high prices, the unbelievable inflation. | |
| I think he should have to defend all the wars that he's allowed to happen all over the world. | |
| His record is abysmal, and he should have to defend it, regardless of his state of mind. | |
| Well, I think that's precisely right because in this situation, and I would say to a lot of people, look, we can see how bad Joe's gotten. | |
| We understand how bad the country is. | |
| The only thing in worse shape than America right now is Joe Biden. | |
| And Trump's argument is very simple to make. | |
| Does Joe Biden deserve another four years? | |
| It's as simple as that. | |
| Are you better off now than you were four years before? | |
| And those simple, powerful arguments are going to cut across. | |
| And we know Biden is going to sit up there for two hours or whatever it is, and he's going to say convicted felon, convicted felon, convicted felon over and over and over. | |
| And yet, when it comes down to it, I don't think the American people, and Congressman, you're there in the Midwest, you understand, when people come up to you, are they worried about Donald Trump getting, you know, some New York jury found him guilty over some payments about this story and the National Enquirer and all these things? | |
| Is that the type of stuff that people are really coming up to you saying that they're worried about when it comes to our country? | |
| Yeah, nobody cares about that. | |
| What they do care about is how they used to have money at the end of the month, now they have more month at the end of their money. | |
| And people are feeling the pain, they're feeling the crunch. | |
| And then they're afraid because you're seeing all this violence occur in the United States. | |
| Look, you have nearly every state that's reporting some Some horrific event where a illegal immigrant is raping and murdering our children, let alone the fentanyl. | |
| All of the stuff that's happening is hitting people close to home, and I don't think that they care. | |
| They give two rats, you know, behinds about Trump and his legal battles in New York. | |
| Well, it's exactly right. | |
| When you've got a situation where there's fentanyl pouring across the border, where inflation is completely out of control, we're here in summer and gas prices are going through the roof. | |
| I've been driving up and down the East Coast. | |
| I drove from Detroit to Sandusky to Cleveland the other day when we were done the Detroit event. | |
| We actually drove out of there. | |
| And look, I don't understand how working class families are making it happen. | |
| And I'll just say it right now. | |
| You got people 70% living paycheck to paycheck right now. | |
| And it's abysmal. | |
| And as you say, the American government needs new leadership because the American people, particularly people, I always say the South and the Midwest. | |
| I'm not from the South or the Midwest, but I'm saying that when I see those parts of the country and how utterly underserved they are, just like the inner cities, they deserve better. | |
| Last word, last minute to you, Congressman. | |
| Yeah, I think that the only solution that we have, we're at that inflection point, Jack. | |
| And I think that either we're going to see America... | |
| And nostalgically talk about the country that once was great, or we're going to elect Donald Trump and actually make it great again and keep this great American experience going for a few more generations. | |
| Amen. | |
| It's as simple as that. | |
| Folks, go give him a follow. | |
| Congressman Eric Burleson out of the great Show Me State of Missouri. | |
| Look, folks, if we are going to take America back, we need, it's going to be, we're going to need people from, from the industrial Northeast. | |
| We're going to need people from the Midwest, the Rust Belt. | |
| We're going to need people from the South. | |
| That's how we take America back. | |
| And of course, our great Sunbelt. | |
| You know, we need our great Sunbelt. | |
| Northern tier, Doug Burgum. | |
| People are saying things about Doug, you know. | |
| We'll see. | |
| We'll see. | |
| There's Doug. | |
| There's J.D. | |
| Vance. | |
| There's a lot of names. | |
| Some people are saying Junkin, but I don't— I don't see Trump— They say his VP's gonna be there, but I'll tell you something. | |
| I don't see Trump picking someone— I'm just gonna say it— picking someone who's taller than him, okay? | |
| I don't think he would ever do that. | |
| Not in the cards. | |
| Doesn't like being overshadowed. | |
| Very focused on visual. | |
| Stay tuned. | |
| We'll be right back because we've got a very fun topic coming up next. | |
| next is called World War Three. | |
| When is Jack? | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| 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. | |
| Alright Jack, we're back live at Cuban Events Daily. | |
| Now I promised you we'd have a very fun topic coming up today and in the next segment and here we are because the very fun topic that I want to talk about is World War 3. | |
| But in order to learn more about World War III, I wanted to look back at World War I and World War II and how those conflicts, which began in many cases as either disparate conflicts between proxies or conflicts which began in many cases as either disparate conflicts between proxies or conflicts between one nation and another, spiraled | |
| Of course, we know World War II begins 1939, World War I begins 1914, but the real question is what makes a war into a world war? | |
| And so I saw this attack that took place yesterday and it really was in down in Crimea where on a beach where for Russians yesterday was the Well, anyone Orthodox, obviously. | |
| Yesterday was Pentecost, so they're a little bit different from the Western Christian schedule. | |
| They can still go off the Julian calendar. | |
| So for them, yesterday was Pentecost. | |
| It was a big holiday. | |
| Everybody's out. | |
| Everyone's on the beach in Crimea. | |
| And so, there was shrapnel from an exploded interceptor missile that landed on the beach, killed a number of people, and this was a part of a strike that supposedly was targeting a nearby base that Russia has in Sevastopol. | |
| I went into the Russian Naval Headquarters for the Black Sea Fleet right there in Crimea. | |
| And so the question that I had was, are they going to ever focus on the United States? | |
| Because Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, comes out and says, look, this was a long-range ATACMS missile that was supplied by the United States. | |
| There's evidence that U.S. | |
| targeting assets were airborne at the time. | |
| U.S. | |
| drones were airborne. | |
| Evidence that he claimed were providing targeting assistance. | |
| And so the question is, at what point does a proxy war not become a proxy war? | |
| And at what point do these spiraling and complex international alliances trigger a world war? | |
| And so I thought, what better person to answer that question than Patrick A. O'Donnell, the world's, one of the world's, say one of the world's, Patrick, if you're one of the world's best military historians operating today and still writing today. | |
| Patrick, how are you? | |
| I'm doing great, Jack. | |
| It's great to be with you. | |
| It certainly is a, not necessarily a fun topic. | |
| It's a topic that we're, you know, we have to deal with. | |
| And it's, this is the most dangerous times in American history. | |
| I mean, there's so many countervailing forces at play that make it such. | |
| And as you mentioned, a single event can trigger a world war. | |
| And that's certainly the case with World War I, where you have the Archduke Ferdinand's assassination. | |
| Which is a single atrocity, a tiny event, that then triggers all of these alliances, that then triggers a world war, that changes the world, by the way. | |
| World War I is one of the greatest conflicts that changes the entire world by dissolving empires, by creating the Middle East, by creating technology that changes the world. | |
| And then World War II comes about, too. | |
| And, you know, it can be argued that World War II begins in 1937, at the Marco Polo Bridge incident, where | |
| The Japanese are faced off in Manchuria against the Chinese, and a single soldier then departs from his unit because he has a stomach pain, and he is lost that night, and the Japanese assume that the Chinese had kidnapped this man, and then they launch a massive assault across the bridge, which then triggers the Sino-Japanese War, which then triggers | |
| our sanctions against Japan, which then ultimately leads to Pearl Harbor. | |
| And it should be remembered that Germany was the one that actually got us into the European war. | |
| They had declared war on us two or three days after Pearl Harbor. | |
| It wasn't the other way around. | |
| It was always Pearl. | |
| It was the Japanese war that was first. | |
| So, I mean, it's an amazing thing how these tiny things can take place. | |
| And you look at the Middle East right now, which is a total tinderbox with October 7th, which was a planned attack that was coordinated with the Iranians. | |
| And now Hezbollah, you know, is on the march. | |
| And, you know, Israel has, you know, part of their entire northern border is they can't live there because they're under a rocket attack constantly. | |
| There are things that are there in play right now that are Making these some of the most dangerous times in history in Taiwan. | |
| I think, you know, a blockade is probably going to happen in the fall and maybe more. | |
| I mean, there's these are seriously dangerous times. | |
| Well, Patrick, you've written about these things a number of times. | |
| And so when I look at what's happening in those parts of the world, and by the way, I'm very familiar with the Marco Polo Bridge. | |
| And so I was talking European theater, but you are right. | |
| 1937, of course, Marco Polo Bridge. | |
| And it was 1931 when the Japanese invaded Manchuria to begin with. | |
| And they set up their puppet state of Manchukuo and take Puyi, the former emperor. | |
| Fantastic movie, by the way, The Last Emperor, if anyone wants to go see this. | |
| About this entire period Puyi and they set him up because the Qing Dynasty of course had not been the Was not Han Chinese. | |
| They were actually they were actually Manchurians and so they were ruling this was a huge You know a huge fight by Sun Yat-sen and a huge effort Against the the Qing Dynasty because they were quote-unquote foreigners. | |
| They were not, you know ethnically Chinese and so the idea was that the Japanese had was, "Okay, we're not going to occupy Manchuria." And Manchuria at the time becomes this major industrialized part of China. | |
| So under the Qing, they become industrialized. | |
| Then later under Japan, this becomes the massive engine for the war effort. | |
| And this is where, fast forward now all the way to Yalta, This is where FDR signs the secret agreement with Stalin that says if you invade Manchuria, we will give you certain privileges throughout China. | |
| We later know those certain privileges turned into the funding and the financing and the arming of the People's Liberation Army, the Red Army at the time, and the establishment of the CCP immediately after the war. | |
| So it's to your point, these things in that very same region where the Marco Polo Bridge took place have led to massive, massive changes in our world that we are still faced with today that go all the way back to these seeming, you know, maybe it's a bomb on a beach. | |
| Maybe it's a bomb on a bridge. | |
| You never really know. | |
| And that's what's so incredible, I think, that you've done in your work is to find how these disparate events, I mean, these are great inflection points that I touch upon in the books that I've written. | |
| The Unvanquished, for instance, is all about irregular warfare and its origins. | |
| wars through the alliance system into world wars. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| I mean, these are great inflection points that I touch upon in the books that I've written. | |
| The Unvanquished, for instance, is all about irregular warfare and its origins. | |
| And today, we are living under that threat as we know it. | |
| I mean, the Middle East, the Houthis have, for instance, shut down in February through December, 90% of the Red Sea traffic, it's down to 50% now through their irregular warfare. | |
| These are proxies of Iran. | |
| Proxies of Iran have attacked our bases over 200 times in the Middle East. | |
| When I was in Fallujah with the Marine Corps as a combat historian, it was the hidden hand of Iran that was constantly influencing things. | |
| And it's their influence that was, you know, present On October 7, which set about a chain of events that have occurred right now. | |
| The centrifugal forces continue. | |
| You know, as you say as well, in terms of the Houthis, and we talked about this the last time that you were on as well, this is the first time that we've even seen a successful, clearly successful, a naval blockade that is being conducted by a ground force, and as you say, they're using irregular warfare to do this. | |
| People need to understand that US shipping and Western shipping through the Red Sea has been almost completely halted because of this. | |
| The U.S. naval response to it, as admirable as it's been, it has not been effective because of their use of drone swarm tactics. | |
| We are now having to send ships or U.S. companies, Western flag vessels, are now having to sail all the way around the Horn of Africa to access the Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar or go up north through the, you know, through the English Channel and the GIUK. | |
| gap and everything because of what the Houthis are doing. | |
| Quick break here. | |
| We'll be right back with Patrick O'Donnell. | |
| He's going to talk to us about how irregular warfare has been a driving force. | |
| He's got a whole book about this, by the way. | |
| How irregular warfare has been a driving force in all of modern geopolitics and really a lot of the modern history that we've seen. | |
| Stay tuned. | |
| Stay tuned. | |
| We'll be right back. | |
| We'll be right back. | |
| Jack Masovic back live, Human Events Daily. | |
| We're talking about how a single event in history can trigger a world war. | |
| And increasingly, many of those events that we see take place in terms of something we call irregular warfare. | |
| By the way, Patrick O'Donnell, who is our guest right now, Patrick, I don't know if you've seen, I just saw this report, I didn't even have time to dig into it too well, but German intelligence has apparently put out and published a new report stating that one of their factories, which actually produces some, I've got German intelligence calling me right now, that German intelligence was hit, excuse me, German intelligence has a report that that German intelligence was hit, excuse me, German intelligence has a report that one of the anti-aircraft battery factories there in | |
| excuse me, German intelligence has a report that one of the anti-aircraft battery factories there in Germany was hit by a team that they claim to be Russian saboteurs, and that it was potentially a Russian sabotage team in the backfield in Germany. | |
| And to your point, is this the type of irregular warfare that we would expect to see when we see two great powers involved in a proxy fight? | |
| Absolutely. | |
| This is something that happened in World War I. There was something called the Long Tom Incident. | |
| Where we, the German intelligence came in in 1916 to the, you know, the massive warehouse in New York Harbor and blew it to smithereens by just planting bombs. | |
| This stuff happens. | |
| It's really, I mean, regular warfare and covert warfare is probably the solution for us to dealing with Iran in particular. | |
| You know, oops, there went Karg Island. | |
| There's part of your, you know, your oil refining and distribution facilities. | |
| That were accidentally, you know, there was an accidental, you know, fire there or whatever. | |
| You know, this is the stuff that's happening to us constantly. | |
| Um, and it's, it's a shadow war that was, that was pioneered at least in our first modern war, which was during the American civil war by men like John Singleton Mosby and the Confederate secret service and the union scouts that conducted operations irregularly where they were, you know, ambushing union supply lines. | |
| And there's targeted assassinations in the book, leading all the way up to the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. | |
| But also it was covert warfare in terms of shadow warfare and the information war, which is raging today. | |
| And here they were, with the unvanquished, they were about 100 years ahead of their time, where they were influencing the press, for instance, to write about a forever war, to erode more of their morale. | |
| But also, just that they realized that in 1864, this is the most important election at that time in history. | |
| It's very much similar. | |
| There's a lot of similarities between the summer of 1864 and the summer of 2004. | |
| in the summer of 2004, 24, I mean, in many ways. | |
| How we have an election. | |
| And by the way, I have an election. | |
| You have an election that hangs in the balance. | |
| You have caustic forces that are in the balance. | |
| You have a country that is now, obviously, we're not currently in a civil war. | |
| And I pray to God that we don't enter one because a civil war. | |
| And actually, let me let me address that. | |
| I was going to mention something else. | |
| And people can go read the the story. | |
| It's up. | |
| Wall Street Journal has it. | |
| German Russian saboteurs behind arson attack at German factory. | |
| claim security officials. | |
| So there you go. | |
| But Patrick O'Donnell, let me ask you this question. | |
| I see people sometimes saying that we want a civil war or sometimes people will say, oh, that will be great. | |
| And the right will do well, conservatives do well because we have the guns, et cetera. | |
| Why is it that civil wars are always the bloodiest wars, not just in America, but everywhere? | |
| Well, it's a situation that we never, ever want to repeat here in the United States, because it's just absolutely devastating. | |
| The American Civil War was the highest number of casualties of any of our wars. | |
| And it just devastated the United States. | |
| Whenever Americans fight Americans, it's just, they're always, I mean, this is something I saw, you see in the American Revolution, where we had our first Civil War, for instance. | |
| Extremely bloody, extremely difficult conflict. | |
| It's something that we must avoid at all costs, because there's so many things that bind us together, rather than our differences. | |
| And I think the answer to all of this, in many ways, is going back to our founding, because the founders understood concentration of power, in particular, and how to diffuse it. | |
| And that's, you know, right now we have an unbalance in some cases of that. | |
| But they also provided us with freedom and liberty, which changed the world, the idea of America. | |
| Ideas are way more important than anything else. | |
| And it's that idea of America that resonates now more than ever, of freedom and liberty. | |
| Well, this is why, and I might as well just throw it out now, to let people know that you and I will be doing a 4th of July special that we are going to be pre-taping to run on the 4th of July, just talking about the history of American warfare, the history of American military prowess on the 4th of July, what that all meant. | |
| Prince will be joining us it's going to be running so as you know as people have the barbecues going as the fireworks are going off or you know while preparing because we go two to three so it might be a little early for fireworks but you know as you're getting your fireworks set up on your uh on your launch pads out there Tune in 2 to 3 p.m. | |
| Eastern, or just throw it on the podcast as you're getting ready, because myself, Patrick K. O'Donnell, and the great Eric Prince will be running through an incredible 4th of July special for you here on Human Events Daily. | |
| Patrick, any preview you want to give everybody? | |
| I just think that our salvation will be through looking back at the founders, and it's such an important time period where They changed the world through what they did. | |
| And they also had to fight, unfortunately, fellow Americans, but they also fought the greatest power in the world at the time, and they overcame it. | |
| And they had something that was enduring, that lasted, that changed empires, that changed the world through their actions and their personal agency. | |
| And people forget at the time that you've got the British Empire in the 13 colonies and then up in Canada. | |
| You've got the French Empire still controls all of Louisiana territory. | |
| Then to your south and your entire west are being controlled by the Spanish Empire. | |
| And you've got this plucky, plucky group of colonists who says we're gonna, you know, we're gonna come up and found our own thing. | |
| Look, you know, what can I say? | |
| I was in Philadelphia. | |
| I'm from the Philadelphia area. | |
| My wife and I got married and in a church at Valley Forge. | |
| History of this country is very, very important to us. | |
