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.
In Washington, NATO is rebuking China as being a, quote, decisive enabler of Russia and the war in Ukraine.
The joint declaration endorsed by all 32 NATO member states also sounded the alarm on China's nuclear and space programs.
Outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had this to say.
China is propping up Russia's war economy.
This is not just a temporary collision of convenience, it is a major strategic shift.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has officially filed articles of impeachment against Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
With that very big press conference today for President Biden, he has a lot to prove, and it may be an impossible task.
Doubters are wondering if he's up for this job.
He's got a news conference later today that'll be his first solo appearance before the American press in months.
Look, I don't think we should set the stakes too high.
I think we should be looking at how he's doing at the event today with the AFL-CIO.
Speaking to, obviously, a supportive group.
They endorsed him.
But unscripted, no teleprompters.
I hope he does well.
I expect he'll do well.
So viewers can follow what's going on behind the scenes.
The Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this.
The actor and donor George Clooney say it's time for him to drop this re-election campaign and allow another candidate to step forward.
A piece of legislation that says you must give proof of U.S.
citizenship to register to vote in federal elections is moving on to the Senate.
The House passed the bill yesterday.
All House Republicans, along with five Democrats, voting in favor.
It's not likely to move forward in the Senate because of opposition from Democrats.
President Biden has vowed to veto the bill if it does get to his desk.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C.
Today is July 11, 2024.
Anno Domini.
Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama himself has started to come out of hiding.
Oh, yes, we all remember Barry O.
We all remember Barrio, that he's the one behind the scenes pulling the strings, the third administration of Barrio, and what do we see now?
That Barack Obama apparently gave his blessing, or at least didn't object, depending on who you listen to, to The George Clooney brutal op-ed that came out.
So all of Hollywood is turning.
You know the Obamas are directly connected into the Hollywood sphere.
And by the way, who was it that first reported almost two weeks ago that the Obamas were lining up donors to potentially have conversations about Kamala Harris?
Oh, that's right.
It was human events.
We reported that first.
Everybody said we were wrong.
Everybody said we were making it up.
And now, We can all see the truth.
That's what's going on behind the scenes.
And in fact, we're also being told that, so the Democrat Convention, we know the Republican Convention is next week, but the Democrat Convention happens in August.
And the Democrats are now calling delegates, the Biden campaign is calling delegates to see whether or not they plan to make sure to vote for Joe Biden when it goes to the floor.
However, there also are a number of Biden delegates that are coming out on their own saying that they may want Should I go?
Should I go to Chicago?
rules change to create an open convention.
We might be getting a fist floor food fight when it comes down to the DNC convention in August in Chicago.
And what can I say?
I absolutely cannot wait myself.
Should I go?
Should I go to Chicago?
I'm thinking about it.
I think I might have to So, big news that came out also of Congress.
Two pieces.
Number one, inherent contempt on Merrick Garland fails for its vote.
Speaker Johnson couldn't get the job done.
Why is it the Republicans don't seem to understand how to fight back?
Basic reciprocity.
Called for it yesterday at NatCon, but we see, of course, what we get in response.
The SAVE Act, however, did pass the House.
However, let me tell you something right now about the SAVE Act.
We talked about this, we gave the entire show to it yesterday.
The SAVE Act does not matter until it has been signed into law.
The job is not done.
And so to Speaker Johnson, and to the Republicans in the Senate, and all the Republicans in elected office from the federal government, I'm going to say this right now.
You must shut down federal funding for the U.S.
government.
30 September is the deadline.
Shut it down until the SAVE Act is included in the federal budget.
This is mandatory.
It is absolutely mandatory and it's incoming.
I don't want to hear these votes, these show votes, knowing that it's not going to pass the Senate, not pass the White House.
No.
No.
Get the SAVE Act done.
Stay tuned.
Be right back.

Folks, we've got Darren Beattie from Revolver News on today.
Darren, You know, I've resurrected something on social media and I think that, you know, even though I've been told again and again that I'm not supposed to say this, I've got to say it again.
Stop the steal.
Hashtag stop the steal is back on.
I am reconstituting it.
I am relaunching the stop the steal movement because the Democrats are trying to steal this nomination away I agree, and I don't think they'll be able to pull off a steal.
choice of their own people.
They are trying to steal the nomination away from Joe Biden.
So hashtag stop the steal for Joe Biden.
What say you Darren?
I agree and I don't think they'll be able to pull off a steal.
I think you know even though you're hearing some voices coming out from.
Actual elected Democrats that's much thinner than from what you're hearing from the media.
The media has its own motivation.
You know, they were gaslighting their own people.
They were gaslighting their own Democrats, or in many ways, some of the most gullible people alive, as to Biden's health for years.
Anybody who questions his mental health, his cognitive capacities, that's just conspiracy theory stuff.
Well, they were effective enough in gaslighting that the problem was punted to the point that it became too late to fix.
And the media, understanding its own complicity in this absolute mess, is now trying to overcorrect when it's too late.
They're not going to be able to do it.
They're not going to be able to push Biden out.
In fact, our website revolver.news, our news site, we've had extensive analyses published months ago, months and months ago, when everyone thought it would be like a done deal that Newsom was going to go in.
We said, no, this is not going to happen.
The mechanisms of what would have to happen for them to force Biden out are very improbable because it involves a lot of people whose political faiths are intertwined with Biden's.
People don't like to act against their own political self-interest, especially Democrats, and they're just not going to do it.
So is it possible that Biden just voluntarily steps down?
Maybe.
But you have Jill and Hunter calling the shots, clinging on to it, so you're going to have to pry it out of their cold hands.
And that doesn't seem very likely.
So despite how ridiculous it seems, my money would still go on Biden staying for the very reasons that we've articulated for months and months now.
And I'd say just on a more personal note, a lot of people don't think of me this way, but I am a former Biden administration official.
And, you know, even though I don't agree with him on pretty much anything, I think he deserves to be there.
I think he deserves to be there.
And it's shameful that the lying media is trying to push him out because they screwed up in gaslighting the Democrats this long and they're trying to make up for it.
Shame on the media.
In fact, you know, now that her has determined that Biden basically has immunity on the basis of his mental incompetence and cognitive deficiencies, He needs to exercise that immunity.
I think maybe he needs to take extreme punitive actions against the media.
You can start at the New York Times, but there are others.
And just go all out.
Just show the media who's boss.
Put the media in its place.
Stick it out.
Joe Biden, show us who you are.
Are you a weakling that they all say you are?
Are you the tough guy from Scranton that you claimed you were?
Let's see that tough guy from Scranton show the New York Times who's boss.
Stay in there, Joe.
Scranton Joe.
Scranton Joe, who everybody counted out.
Remember, they called him a plagiarist.
They said that he wasn't available, or he wasn't possible to be there, that he never was given credit for his own merits, never given credit for his time as the Senate Foreign Relations Chairman, never given credit as the VP, and look at all of the incredible foreign relations deals he was able to put together as the VP of President.
I mean, just look at the job he's done in Ukraine.
Fantastic.
And so this really is his time to prove the detractors wrong.
Joe Biden, you have the ability now to finally emerge from the shadow of Barack Obama.
That's not a racial thing, by the way.
We all know Democrats are the real racists.
But the shadow of your predecessor, Barack Obama, and come into your own as the man who saved America from Donald Trump by defeating him rightfully a second time, staying in the race and staying the course.
I think I really do think, Darren, that America will be so much greater if Joe Biden stays in this race.
Absolutely.
And you know, one other thing to point out, all of the fake media, all the media scum that are trying to push him out, and even some of the Democrats now that are crawling out of their rat holes and trying to stab him in the back and stab the Democrat voters in the back like they've done time and time again with Bernie and otherwise.
But one thing that's really noteworthy, even the people saying, oh, we might not need Biden, they're not giving a replacement.
They're not propping up Kamala.
Which indicates that all this is not serious.
If they were really interested in getting rid of Biden, he can't just get rid of him and have nobody.
He can't have the empty chair.
He can't have nobody.
He has to be replaced by someone real.
And the fact that that's not a part of the conversation, it's only, oh Biden can't do it, Biden can't do it.
Shows that there's no seriousness and they're not even close to some underlying consensus about who that figure could be.
And from Kamala's position, and I think she's justified in doing this, she's saying, I'm not going anywhere.
Don't you even think about trying to overstep me if you push Biden out.
It's not going to happen.
So the fact that nobody's seriously talking about who the replacement is going to be or the calls for Biden to step aside are not accompanied by Calls to boost up Kamala as the replacement indicates that it's far less serious and viable than it might seem.
Well, you know, Darren, there's the other part of it, too, because I don't even know if they can.
So they would have to legally have the Biden campaign committee because they've already received, what, 300 million or so dollars away from this.
Would they even legally be allowed to transfer that money without the approval of Biden and Kamala Harris?
I don't think so at all.
I think that the money could be transferred to Kamala.
But they couldn't transfer it to to a third party, which is again, that's another huge problem.
I mean, the thing is, everyone sees the problem ahead.
And obviously, Biden is not in top fighting shape.
He's not in his prime.
Nobody says that he's in his prime.
So people just look at that.
The Democrats in the media just looking at that, but they don't see how bad it would be for them to replace him at this late hour.
All of the chaos that that would introduce, it would almost be like throwing in the towel, whereas they can have the alternative of keeping Biden in, trying the kind of weekend at Bernie's thing, keeping him away as much as possible and hoping the press falls in line.
That's frankly a better strategy than the 11th hour hostile takeover attempt, which has a lot of problems in terms of feasibility.
But even if they could pull it off, It's far from clear that they're in a better position doing so than simply taking their chances with a diminished Joe Biden.
And look, this is a huge issue because, you know, it's kind of like the argument that George W. Bush made in 2004.
You can't change horses midstream.
You have to stay the course.
And Biden, by the way, if you decide, if you decide you want to step down at any point during your second term, Kamala Harris is still there.
She'll be perfectly fine.
Or you just leave Jill and Hunter to run everything.
They kind of happen anyway.
This really should be the way forward.
Because for the Democrats, they realize, I think, some of the higher ups, this by the way is why you don't see like Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi coming out and publicly saying these things.
They're doing it behind the scenes and all.
Because they know they don't actually have a mechanism for getting Joe to leave without them telling him.
They've already given him $300 million.
They've already given him the delegates.
The primary has already been held.
And so this isn't some like West Wing fantasy scenario where they just get to open the convention up and get some other delegate in there, get some other candidate in there.
It's never going to work because legally speaking, Joe Biden already is their nominee and they have the pledged delegates.
They were the ones, by the way, who changed the rules in the first place so that When RFK, remember, RFK originally was going to run as a Democrat against him.
They boxed him out, so he went in as an independent.
They're the ones who set themselves up for this.
Last minute, Darren Beattie.
Yeah, it's simply too late in the game for them to do it.
They could have done it a year ago.
They didn't for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the media's lies about Joe Biden's health.
And now here they are.
They're totally screwed.
They know it, but there's nothing they can do.
There's nothing they can do other than sit back and watch.
And Joe Biden, by the way, we are behind you 110% by the way.
And plus, you know, I think, I think a lot of this, a lot of this has to do with the fact that they're counting you out and we're not going to do so.
So stay tuned right back.
Quick break.
Bloods.
And them boys had a saying.
You can't be listening to all that slappy whack track.
Trim out his alitzabam ship.
Nippy bam bam.
Like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
Jack Posobiec back live at Human Events Daily.
America is finally starting to see how corrupt our judicial system and our government is.
Just look what they've done to Steve Bannon, to Peter Navarro, and to President Trump.
As terrible as it might be, we wouldn't be able to see the truth had we not gone through such a process.
Sometimes there's a bigger plan in the works, which brings me to this movie that I want you to see when it comes out in a couple of months.
It's called The Firing Squad, starring Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr.
This is the remarkable true story of a group of men sentenced to death for trafficking drugs in a third world country who find redemption in Christ.
While they're awaiting their fate, they've made it their mission to convert their entire prison camp to also embrace Christ.
It's an inspirational story and a reminder that God is always at work.
Kevin Sorbo wants this film to be part of a nationwide revival and will be leading viewers in prayer in the hopes that this will bring one million souls to Christ.

But the issue really here, Darren, is that, and you said this a little bit before, you alluded to it, that the media's motivation here isn't so much that they want to help themselves or they want to help the country, rather.
It is that they want to help themselves.
They want to help themselves because Just a few days before the debate, they were telling everyone that these were these moments, these gaffes of Biden and truly for years up to that point, they had been saying this was all a right wing conspiracy theory.
And now all of a sudden, even Brian Stelter is promoting right wing conspiracy theories.
So their issue is that when you've got somebody in that gaslighted, mental stranglehold grip of completely believing everything you say, And then it turns out that something was wrong.
This creates a huge issue for your normie NPR American, your MSNBC, your drunken wine cooler aunt on Facebook, because suddenly it seems as though everything the right was saying was correct.
So what do they do?
Yeah, it's a great kind of analysis of where's the media coming from?
And I think it's interesting, the parallels between the media and Biden here.
And of course, a lot of things that are interesting about it, not the least of which is that the media and the Democrat party are usually aligned.
The media's job is usually to promote the Democrat interest, which is what the media thought it was doing for the past year, two years, three years, gaslighting the American people and the Democrats themselves regarding Biden's mental But here we see a rare and at this point I think pretty severe break between the media and Biden, if not the Democrat Party more generally.
And with the media, it has nothing to do with the good of the country or anything like that.
With the media, it's become so manifest and so undeniable, Biden's condition, that the media is desperately trying to salvage their own credibility.
That's what's at stake.
They're desperate to salvage their own credibility and not look foolish in the eyes of their peers.
That's what that's about.
And of course, on Biden's side, it's about preserving his power, preserving the power of the Biden family.
So there are very narrow parochial interests on both sides that just happen in this instance to be a rare case in which they don't align.
Hence, you have this treat of you know, turn on MSNBC or CNN and wow, they're actually, you know, disparaging Biden.
Well, yeah, but they're doing it to save their own credibility.
That's all they care about.
So they can effectively lie to the American people about other things that, you know, presupposes that they maintain some credibility.
That's what it's about.
Well, and this, and this, by the way, it's, it's been so interesting to be watching.
And as people know that I've been conducting a years long now, investigation and case study on Jake Taper.
And in his perspective, it's quite strange because during the debate itself, he He makes no comment or any observation whatsoever about the mental collapse of the President of the United States on his watch, right before his eyes.
And yet afterwards, he's come out as the most forceful voice against Joe Biden.
Now, Darren, is Jake Taper doing that because he wants us all to believe that he's fair and balanced?
Well, is he doing it because he's actually an objective journalist or is there some other reason?
Yeah, it's clearly, it's a desperate attempt to salvage credibility that's made even more urgent by the fact that they know that they put the Democrats in this position to begin with.
That's another just crazy thing about this is that the fake news media lies, which are instituted in order to deceive the American people and advance the Democrats' interests, in this instance, The media's lies have put the Democrats in a position in which 2024 is basically unwinnable, or it seems to be close to unwinnable at this point, which is a remarkable thing.
And they're just in cover your ass mode, insurance policy mode.
It's too little, too late.
If they really wanted to maximize the chance of Biden winning, they'd keep their mouths shut for the next three months.
They want to salvage their credibility because they've desperately lost it.
In the course of just a few weeks with Biden.
Oh, it'll be one for the history books.
There's no question about that.
Like, and the fact that it happens on CNN is, is that so CNN and MSNBC operate in two kind of veins.
And something that Bannon always said was, well, you got to watch MSNBC to find out what the plan is going to be, because that's, that's sort of where they make the sausage.
That's where they plan what's going to come next.
But CNN, isn't intended to be this partisan network.
CNN is supposed to be the one that you believe.
CNN is the one who's supposed to be the most honest name in news, the most trustworthy.
And yet how many times have we observed throughout this entire Trump era, and obviously prior to it as well, that CNN has been the mouthpiece of the regime?
Where was it that Russiagate, so let's take Russiagate, you know, sort of the most common and most well-documented hoax that was run on Trump That operation began on CNN, and which anchor was it?
Of course, it was Jake Taper.
He was the one who said, the Steele dossier has been briefed to President Trump, that James Comey brought it in there, and he was the one who gave, quote-unquote, gave the story legs.
So, Darren, there's a huge and very important role that CNN plays, and they're desperate to maintain that right now, aren't they?
Absolutely.
You know, the media reign over the American people is far more important and far more extensive than the reign of any one puppet Democrat.
And so from the media standpoint, preserving their credibility for the longer term is more important than whatever marginal benefit would accrue to Biden if they were to keep their mouth shut for another three months in an election that looks like it's not going to go their way anyway.
I think that's basically the underlying calculus.
It's their egos.
It's their sense of self-preservation, much in the same way that it's ego and self-preservation on the Biden side, that he's not stepping down.
Just petty, parochial, selfish motivations all around.
The country deserves better than that.
This is also, by the way, that so many times that CNN and others will launch attacks and smears on you, on me, on War Room, on Revolver, Human Events, any other source of media.
And it's quite common, by the way.
It's also, it's a form of cult behavior that you see as well, where they'll say, you are not allowed to view any other sources of information.
Only we are the truth.
And remember, facts first, and all these things that CNN was doing.
Because Darren, what happens If your your NPR American or your CNN American actually starts looking at some of the things that, you know, someone texts them a revolver news article or a human events article or post millennial and says, hey, take a look at this.
And they actually start taking it seriously.
Well, it's a complete disaster.
I mean, that's I think the story of the past, you know, eight years plus is The system reacting frantically to the idea that people, when presented with sensible ideas that contradict the lies of the regime, people respond to what's truthful more easily than they respond to lies, because what's true corresponds to what they see right in front of them.
So it's harder to sell a lie than the truth, which is why the truth has to be censored.
It's as simple as that.
If ordinary Americans You know, even, you know, Democrats would read a piece and they might disagree on some ideological stuff.
But I think if any sensible American, even who wasn't Republican or pro Trump or anything, you read the Revolver.news series, for instance, on January 6th and any sensible person will come to the conclusion. Yeah, there's weird stuff.
Yeah, the Ray Epps thing looks dirty.
Yeah, the pipe bomb things look dirty.
Speaking of which, that's another liability of Kamala Harris.
She has a very dark, very damning January 6th pipe bomb problem, which is Really strange.
And so that could become even more important if they dare to run her, which of course they won't.
But she's got a lot of other problems as well.
But yeah, they've been banking on these lies for so long to shove these lies down our throat about all sorts of things.
And that's, you know, they're going to cling to that.
Just as much as Joe Biden's going to cling to whatever he has left in the White House before he becomes just another old guy.
And this is why you keep getting all of these strange denouncements and saying things like, well, they lied to us and they kept us in the dark and it's their fault, not our fault.
And it has nothing to do with us lacking our ability to report on the White House.
It's all on them.
So they found their scapegoat.
And it's created this twofold system where the more they scapegoat Biden and his inner circle, the more Biden and his inner circle actually dig in.
Darren Beattie, where can people go to follow you and get all the latest updates on this?
We got a little teaser on Kamala Harris's pipe bomb J6 problem on revolver.news.
And for those who haven't seen it, it's very relevant and continues to be so.
You want to see the strong case as to why Biden's not stepping down, a case that we promulgated months ago.
Revolver.News.
Read it and share it.
God bless.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, John.
Be right back.
Darren B. Revolver News.
Where's Jack?
Where's Jack?
Where is he?
Jack, I want to see you.
Great job, Jack.
Thank you.
What a job you do.
You know, we have an incredible thing.
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting policies.
All right, Jack Posobiec here, live at Human Events Daily, and very excited to welcome to the show for the first time, because we've got Jep and Jessica Robertson.
You guys know them from Duck Dynasty.
They're joining us here at Human Events Daily to tell us all about their brand new project.
Guys, how are you today?
Good!
Thanks for having us.
Well, thank you so much for being here.
And the big announcement, of course, is that you guys have joined Brave Books, and you've written a new Brave Book.
By the way, I gotta say, I did one of the first Brave Books, first flights I've done, I've been involved with a number of them since.
I was at church this weekend on Sunday, and there was a family that came up to me, and they said, hey, aren't you the guy that was doing Brave Books?
Man, of all the things, of all the things to get recognized from, this series is actually getting huge.
Tell me about what made you want to write this book, what made you want to get involved with Brave Books, etc.
Well, we have five kiddos.
Our youngest is adopted.
We adopted him when he was three days old.
And our Gussie, yeah, you can see there's your dear, dear Valor.
We wanted to come in with Brave Books and write a little something about adoption, our experience with adoption.
Obviously, Valor is a tiger.
He's adopted by lion parents, Fiona and Arthur.
And our Guss is a black child adopted by a white family.
And so we've had those talks with Guss.
Even as a two and a half, three year old little boy, he would say, why do I have brown skin and you have gray skin, mommy?
And, you know, so we wanted to be able to partner with Red Books and write something that would maybe inspire other children to see adopted kids in a different light and basically empathize with some of the things they go through, whether they're adopted or whether they have something else that's different, you know, than them.
Um, and so we, we have loved everything Brave Books has done.
All of their stories have this beautiful life lessons, but in a fun way that it's been, follow these characters along, you know it too.
Um, but they, they, they instill biblical values, traditional values.
You never have to worry about what's going to be in a book.
I could pass, we get boxes all the time and Gus piles them in and I never worry that he's going to read something he shouldn't read.
Well, no, I appreciate that so much.
And by the way, I got to say, well, let me ask you guys, have you gotten some of the Brave Books yet?
Because my family, you know, we got involved and they reached out to me and they said, hey, do you want to do the book?
I said, yeah, I'd love to do a book.
We talk about like communism and the history of that.
And when politicians come and lie to you and say, if you give more government power, then government's always going to tell you that you're going to get something.
So we said, we compared it to ice cream.
And I said, it was like going to the island of free ice cream.
But then you go there, it turns out that it's all slavery and government control and all this.
Yes, yes.
And that's a pack of wolves, and that's who they really are.
But as it started coming out, my kids actually started loving the series, and they actually started loving the characters and wanting to learn more.
And I've got to tell you, by the way, Valor is one of their favorite characters.
Awesome.
Yes, yes.
Gus loves all his books.
He has a vintage, I'll buy a lot of antiques, but I have a vintage giant suitcase, and he keeps all of his tucked away.
And then he brings them all out, and we go through them, and he loves the interactive games and activities, which is so fun to be able to get to promote getting families to interact with their kids more and even other siblings.
So everything Brave Books does, we have loved.
And we were introduced a year ago.
Because our sister-in-law, Missy Robertson, wrote a book with them.
And that's how we were introduced.
But man, just blown away by everything they do.
That was a big thing for me.
The people like yourself, Riley Gaines.
I respect these other people a ton.
Kirk Cameron.
I want to be with you guys.
Well, I really appreciate that.
And it's amazing to hear because, you know, we started this journey.
Gosh, it's been almost three years now since I think the first, they call it the sagas.
And I think we're on saga four now.
So that one's come out.
By the way, I'm going to have to tell my son, my older son, about this because he's always, he checks the mailbox every single day.
And he says, Daddy, when's the next Brave book coming?
When's the next Brave book coming?
And I said, I know it's coming.
You know, I talked to the guys over there and I've talked to the, I always say, I've talked to Team Brave and they assure me that it's going to be here very soon.
And, and of course, and now I can actually tell them that this is going to be the next one.
We usually, we could get access to it and all, but I, we will, we like having the real thing.
You know what I mean?
I like having the actual book, but tell me, tell me a little bit.
And I'll ask you up this question.
You know, when, when you, why was it so important, you think, to take this message and take these I mean, there's a ton of kids content out there right now.
Why do something else in a market that's already so saturated?
Well, because to be honest with you, there's a lot of junk on the market.
So we're trying to combat all this other stuff you say about all the gender and all this stuff.
And it's like, man, what about just some good old wholesome stuff?
That's what we're into.
And what people tell me every day from like doing our show, doing this book, is like, thank you for having stuff my family can enjoy and we don't have to worry about it being weird and inappropriate and stuff they shouldn't be learning about anyway.
It's so true.
I mean, you walk into almost any library, I keep saying this all the time, any library anywhere in the country and you always get that, even the bookstores too, you get that first table, you know, and we all know what's on that first table.
It's anti-racist baby and it's, you know, Susie has two mommies and You know it's what was the one it's okay that daddy doesn't mow the lawn it's okay that mommy mows the lawn and all just this this stuff that they're trying to throw at kids when you should be focused on teaching them to read teaching them basic values teaching them how to treat one another and that's what this series does and I love the fact that you put into it now Let me go into specifically on this book, on Dealvirus.
So you're talking about adoption.
Why was it that you decided to come back?
And I congratulate you, by the way, but why was it that you felt this was the need, this was the time to bring that story forward?
Well, when we started talking with Brave, we were talking about what stories would we want?
And obviously adoption was very heavy on our hearts because our Gus is adopted and he's a black child and he feels different.
And, you know, how could we come in?
When they're talking about Valor being adopted, and even though this story isn't our adoption story, there are parts in it that we got to put in and include in this story to make this a personal book for us.
The skin color being different, him having friends to ask.
I just got approached by one of his little buddies on his baseball team and said, wait, you're his mommy and daddy?
And I was like, yep, I sure am.
And he kind of looked funny at me and I said, Well, Gus is adopted.
He goes, he's adopted?
And I was like, yeah.
But so just being very like open and honest and being able to talk about these things with kids that maybe don't have experience with adoption and seeing, you know, that you can be a different child with a different family.
And it was just a way we could like bring this to the world.
And hopefully other kids can read this and kind of empathize a little bit.
And another thing in the book we got to include, which we haven't And so we basically haven't dealt with it, but we know plenty of adoptive families who have dealt with that with kids, and they want to reach out.
And if and when Gus wants to, we will support it 100% and be able to, you know, help him with that.
You know, at the end of this book, he doesn't get exactly what he had asked for, but it ends with the affirmation.
Sorry, my daughter just walked in.
Uh, but it ends with, you know, basically showing that we unconditional love of a family.
Like you are loved.
We are your parents.
We are here for you.
Uh, no matter what you do, no matter what you say, we love you unconditionally.
Well, I love that too, and we've got a quick break here coming up, but you're right, because there are so many times that, and you may not know, right, there may be times when your kids are going to school or playing on a baseball team or something, and as you say, they encounter a situation, and if you haven't been introduced to that through media or through movies or whatever it is, that you have no background knowledge, and it could seem a little confusing, and it could raise, and I'm sure it does, raise all of these questions,
Very obvious and not from a bad place, but it gives the ability to understand where it comes in.
So not just for kids who are experiencing it themselves, but for kids who may encounter it.
And then as you say, for kids who find themselves in that process, who realize or come to the realization at some point, As they get older, they say, oh, I'm adopted.
What does that mean?
Does that mean there's something wrong with me?
Does that mean that somebody didn't want me, etc., etc.?
All of those basic, honest questions.
Well, here's a way through the power of a story, through the power of characters that they can relate to and they can connect with to start to understand that it's okay to ask those questions, but also find a way to have a conversation that's not going to be, you know, some big blown up thing that it's very comfortable you know, some big blown up thing that it's very comfortable and actually feels very I think it's amazing.
Stay tuned.
We'll be right back.
Quick break.
Duck Dynasty stars Jeff and Jessica Roberts.
Boring people at your office.
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
Alright, Jack Posobiec back live.
Jess Jepp and Jessica Robertson from Duck Dynasty on, talking all about their new book, Dear Valor, here with us, Brave Books.
By the way, I'm not gonna give away any spoilers, but of course, so the fact that Valor was adopted actually did come up already in one of the books, and I know that because we read them at home, but so this is basically the backstory of how that took place.
Is that right?
Correct.
Yes.
And we got to just basically throw in some of our life experiences.
They were really open and wanted to know what we've dealt with, with adoption.
And we were able to include that and it go along with the story.
So it's not our identical adoption story, but yes, we got to play a role.
Yeah, so I hope people know that with this, it actually goes into the whole story and something actually pretty cool that Brave Books does because it's got this whole like, you know, almost like the Avengers or X-Men kind of storyline where there's bad guys and good guys and it's the team fighting the bad guys and for kids especially, you know, when they hit that like 5 to 12, 5 to 13 kind of age range where they're just starting to read and they love the story and it's got really cool action
And then, you know, with a situation like this where you're going back in time now to take one of the characters, Valor, he's the leader of Team Brave, and then they go back and actually show his childhood, his backstory, and then they can tie that in to what you guys have experienced.
Talk me through a little bit because This is an example of something that we keep hearing again and again and again that we need to have this parallel media that we need to stop getting we need to get away from media that's totally controlled by either Hollywood or New York or those two bi-coastal elitist kind of atmospheres and ecosystem and this is by the way something obviously that you guys have been doing for years at this point to show that you know what
America is not just New York and L.A., that there's a whole bunch of America and there's a whole bunch of people out there who do, by the way, have different values.
Why?
Why was it that you guys were so important to not only put your own lives out there, but now you're even putting the lives of your children out there in in a limited sense?
Well, I think it just goes to show you that that's what people want to see is is like good, awesome content like the The Blind movie that was just about my parents.
Like, dude, that thing was super crazy popular.
My cousin did that.
I mean, it was like, it's like an in-house thing, and it was awesome, and it was a hard story to tell.
Like, my dad, you know, he was not always a good man, a Christian man, so it told that story, but it was a real story.
I mean, like, that's what people, honestly, they just want something that's real.
Yeah.
Like, I'm tired of seeing all the crap you see on TV.
It's like, oh my gosh, it's just all fake and fluff.
Yeah.
Where's the substance?
You know what I'm saying?
That's what people want.
Well, it's true, too, because I keep seeing every time I have this sort of joke, I say the only time you ever see like the Midwest or the South or anywhere else in depicted in movies, it's always some horror movie.
You ever notice that?
It's always like, you know, you know, we're going out to you know, we're going out here because there's some psychopath who wants to like go Michael Myers and You know, Jason or whatever it is on everybody.
And it's like, it gives you this weird sense of like, that's how New York and Hollywood in LA view the rest of the country.
And that's just so beyond true.
And then they'll say, Oh, well, and then they start ascribing that to Christians, they start ascribing that to all believers.
And then so it paints this completely upside down picture of what the rest of the country is like.
And then, of course, we see that, and I talk about that more in my day job on a regular basis, that that's what they use politically to say, oh, well, we got to keep these crazies out of power.
They're just going to go nuts and, you know, start the theocracy and all of this stuff.
And it couldn't be further from the truth.
Why is it so important then that we actually start telling these stories?
Really?
If not us, then who's going to do it?
I mean, our kids are going to just be swept up and, and, you know, living falsely.
If we don't teach them the truth and we don't teach them biblical values, traditional values, and like, and just basically say, you got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
Otherwise you're just going to be led astray.
And your every turn, every time somebody blows a whistle, you're going to follow them.
Right?
So we, we want our kid, we want to raise strong kids.
We want to raise, Strong kids that love the Lord and love other people and can be gracious and kind and forgiving.
And, you know, partnering with Brave Books is just one way we can do that.
We can use our platform to help and encourage other people to care about what their kids are reading, care about what they're watching.
We already know kids are going to see things.
The technology is there.
It pops up.
It doesn't matter if you play a little bitty kids game, something's going to pop up.
And so it's also teaching them about honesty and life and being very open.
We try to always tell our kids, like, no, there's nothing you can say or do that will ever make us stop loving you.
And so it's just reaffirming that the family is going to be there.
I think people can live in fear.
And so they do things out of fear versus out of just sound mind and sound doctrine.
Look, my dad always told me, you got two things to do on this planet.
Love God and love people.
A lot easier said than done, I will say that.
Because we want to put ourselves first.
I mean, let's just be honest.
And what most people will tell you is like, oh, whatever makes you happy.
But that's really not what we try to do.
Try to love God and love people.
Well, you know, you hear that all the time because I hear this.
I keep hearing this this kind of sentiment that comes out and you hear it all the time.
And again, in that Hollywood media, that whole mainstream media kind of kind of preaches that whatever you want to do, whatever you feel like is good.
So whatever interest or impulse or urge or desire you feel must be good.
And maybe God just wants you to do that.
And God wants you to follow whatever you feel like and do whatever you want.
And that's freedom.
And they'll say that that's freedom and say, oh, well, if you're trying to impose some kind of morality on top, Then that's not freedom.
But this is where, and you know, Charlie Kirk and I have conversations about this all the time, where we say that actually when you read the Bible and you understand the value structure that it puts out in there, it's that things that the Bible points out are sinful are actually bad for you and will actually lead to bad outcomes.
And you can go through all of, you know, philosophy and therapy and all of these different things and it always comes down to the same thing.
It's like, wait a minute, we've had the answers right here.
It's just you guys want to reject them.
I want to say thank you.
I wish we could talk more about this because that's a really, I'll have to have you back on because that's a really, really deep discussion and what I think people need to hear.
More importantly, where can people follow you guys and get copies of the book?
You can get Dear Valor along with all their other magazines at brightbooks.com.
And Jeff, you can follow us on social media, Jeff Beckman.
Yep.
And Jessica Dugwise.
Amen.
Thank you so much, guys, for being on, and thank you so much for all that you do to share the truth.
Folks, we've got the big boy press conference coming up later today at, it was 5.30, now it's 6.30.
We'll be on ThoughtCrime tonight with Charlie Kirk responding.
