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.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg now says the Biden-Harris administration pressured him to censor content and that he regrets not speaking out about it.
In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg wrote, In 2021, senior officials from the Biden administration repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree.
Was there anything, what did they think about Harris?
Did they have anything to say about her?
For the most part, um, in Pittsburgh, or in, at the Jersey Shore, in Atlantic City, um, many people did not know who she was.
She's been part of the failures of the Biden-Harris administration for four years, and when she campaigned for president, in her own right, she did in fact promise things, like decriminalizing illegal immigration and taking away health insurance.
But that's a position she's clearly changed on, and she has said she has changed.
Yes, yes, yes, she has.
No, no, she has not.
John, she has not said that.
Just hours ago, the state Supreme Court, with a big decision that will keep Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, on Wisconsin's ballot, Democrats had sued, looking to remove her.
The California Dream for All program, it's created to help middle and income home buyers.
Now, initially, the program required residents to be here legally, either a U.S.
citizen or a legal permanent resident.
But last week, Assembly Democrats overrode Republican opposition, changing that eligibility to say this.
An applicant who meets the requirements for a loan under the Home Purchase Assistance Program shall not be disqualified by the agency based solely on the applicant's immigration status.
A federal judge in Texas made a decision on Monday to put a pause on the Biden administration program that offers legal status to spouses of U.S.
citizens.
This comes after 16 states challenged the program, accusing the administration of bypassing Congress for blatant political purposes.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C.
Today is August 27, 2024 and I have a question.
This is this is a little bit of an interesting question.
Should illegal aliens be allowed to vote?
Just a simple question.
Simple question.
Send us your answer to that question here, 1776humanevents.com.
Do you think that illegals should be allowed to vote in America?
Do you think that illegals should be given that option?
Well, here's the thing is in a lot of states, they do have the ability because there are no background or controls or procedures to stop this.
So, all right.
Great.
We're all against that.
So what do you do about that?
How do you prevent them from voting?
Well, here's what you do.
You could pass something called, like, I don't know, a nationwide proof of citizenship bill, which the House did.
It's called the SAVE Act, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.
And guess what, boys and girls, it's already passed the House.
This is something that absolutely needs to be put into place in not just the swing states, but certainly the swing states in all 50 states.
And we've seen individual after individual.
It requires anyone registering to vote in federal elections to provide approved citizenship documents, including a passport, military ID, birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or a government-issued photo ID card that signifies it.
It requires states to purge non-citizens from the voter rolls.
And if someone is unlawfully registered to vote, oh boy, boys and girls, you get put to the front of the line for deportations.
Well, that sounds like an amazing thing.
It also sounds like something that should be nonpartisan and, more than anything else, should be something that all Republicans can get behind.
However, comma, there's a problem here.
So you see, the Democrats don't want to do this.
They don't want to put it through the Senate.
And Joe Biden has said he'll veto it.
So what do you do?
Well, you've got to use leverage.
You've got to use your God-given leverage and ability and action to be the forcing function.
And the people of this country have been the forcing function.
The people of this movement have been the forcing function.
However, what do you do?
You go and you attach it to the spending bill of September 30.
If they want the government to be funded, then government funding must include the SAVE Act, a nationwide citizenship verification for voting.
This is very simple.
By the way, nationwide proof of citizenship bill, this is supported by Senator Mike Lee.
This is even supported by Elon Musk.
But I'll tell you something else.
Do you know who came out against this yesterday?
Mitch McConnell.
Senator McConnell and Axios has the story, say, well, we're not sure if we want to do this ahead of the October 1st government spending deadline and a recent meeting of these offices, blah, blah, blah.
No, you know what?
That's bunk.
Sorry, Mitch.
Not happening.
We are not allowing illegals to vote this November.
And that means come September, the SAFE Act needs to be put in the budget.
Speaker Johnson is nominally on board.
We are going to force this Fight and we are going to use the considerable resources at our beck and call to make it so.
See you in a couple of weeks, Mitch.

and they're friends of mine, Jack Persovic.
Where's Jack?
Jack, he's done a great job.
All right, Jack Persovic back here, live, human events daily.
Folks, you've all heard the news from Elon Musk.
He said if Apple were to implement open AI into their operating systems, all Apple products would be banned from each of Elon's businesses.
And if you happen to visit one of his offices, we're talking Tesla, you're talking SpaceX, you're talking Twitter, you'd have to put your Apple device in a Faraday cage.
Elon understands that we have to stop big tech and government overreach.
There's no other option.

All right, folks, we're talking about the SAVE Act.
We're talking about the fact that illegal aliens will be given the right to vote.
And Speaker Johnson, by the way, has said that he's okay With putting this in the budget bill for September 30 deadline, he's fine with this.
And that's great.
So we applaud you, Speaker Johnson.
That's wonderful.
That's fantastic.
Problem is, Mitch McConnell says that he doesn't support it.
And he's got all these reasons.
He's very scared.
He thinks that, oh, if we do something to use the government for positive ends, then what if the Democrats use government against us?
And look, I'm sorry, folks.
No.
We got a lot of fights to go on and this is a shaping operation.
What do I mean by this?
We must conduct a shaping operation prior to Election Day.
Just like in the military, when you know you've got a big mission, you can sometimes conduct shaping operations to tilt the edge of battle, to tilt the battlefield to your advantage.
Why should we go into the November election with illegal aliens being allowed to vote?
Purge the voter rolls, deport illegals, let them know they're going to be deported front of the line, And then make sure that people must provide nationwide proof of citizenship.
It's so simple.
And yet Mitch McConnell opposes this.
It's very confusing to those who may not be paying attention, but for those who understand the establishment for what it is and the role that Mitch McConnell plays in there, it makes a lot of sense.
Someone who does understand the big picture is Darren Beatty of Revolver News, who joins us now.
Darren, how are you?
Doing great.
Great to be with you, Jack.
So Darren, I'd love to get your comment.
I know there's a lot of stuff going on, but this idea that, that really came out, there's only one report in Axios and I haven't seen any of the other really, you know, anyone else in conservative media talking about this, but Mitch McConnell, why would Mitch McConnell oppose an act that would provide for nationwide proof of citizenship for voting?
I mean, it's a great question and we can extend that to say, why would anybody oppose this?
And if we can answer that, I think we can probably answer with respect to Mitch McConnell.
The reason anyone would oppose limiting citizenship, limiting voting to actual citizens, would be that they want to rig the political process in a certain direction.
Because we know that the more that the franchise is expanded, Basically, the worse results you get, certainly the more left-wing results you get, and the more you have people who are able to manipulate the process.
That's the thing that people don't understand.
It's ridiculous on its face that the franchise would be extended to non-citizens.
It's almost a contradiction in terms.
Once you do that, it's like this phrase has been beaten to death.
You don't have borders, you don't have a country, but if you don't limit voting to citizens, you don't even have citizenship.
So the whole process is complete at this point.
But there's another kind of concurrent dynamic whereby, you know, the left has always been a proponent of expanding the franchise as much as possible.
But they're not really doing this because they think, you know, people have a genuine say and each individual is like thinking for themselves and deliberating all of the preconditions to what it actually means for someone to come to a decision deliberatively and then vote.
No, they just want masses and blobs of the most easily mobilized and manipulated, you know, biomass possible.
And this is just one other step in that direction.
Now, why Mitch McConnell, who on paper is a Republican and should be wanting, you know, forget about the question of, you know, you care about the concept of citizenship.
You care about your party winning.
Well, you know, McConnell has shown his true colors time and time again, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least that if he were working to sabotage Trump's chances, he doesn't stand to lose that much.
And in fact, he might be better off if Trump loses.
Well, you know, Darren, something spoke to a very high level source on the Hill yesterday about this.
And the response that I got back was, you must understand that the role McConnell plays within the uniparty, within the regime.
Yes, he is sort of the the gain to Chuck Schumer's Yang.
But one of the specific roles that he plays is not as a Republican or a Democrat, not as a conservative or a liberal, but in the role as an appropriator.
His job, like so many, and by the way, this isn't anything about him.
Personally either, because there's so many other Republicans that would be happy to step up and fill this role.
It's the role in the appropriations process.
They get to be the node through which friends are rewarded in the way that enemies are punished because of lack of funding.
The appropriations process is the process of who gets the spoils of government.
And therefore, his job is to make sure, not necessarily that he's the one who makes those decisions, but his job is to make sure that the money keeps flowing.
And if you notice that every single step of the way, he always makes sure that the money keeps flowing.
That's always been the way that he breaks on these things.
And typically, it's the house that if ever to hold up the government spending or government funding, forcing a government shutdown, which by the way, I totally support a government shutdown over the SAVE Act.
That's without question.
And so should any conservative who's serious, by the way.
And I certainly strongly urge Speaker Mike Johnson to also support so and Speaker Johnson, take the time.
If you want to man up, if you want to stand up to Mitch McConnell, if you want to stand up for your country, Speaker Johnson, now is your moment.
This was a message to you.
They're going to say, take the bow tie and go back to Louisiana and do as you're told.
And here's your little pat on the head.
Or do you want to go down in history as the man who stood up for the American people?
But, but Darren, The Speaker Johnson, notwithstanding, what do you think about that view of McConnell as the appropriator, the chief appropriator of the regime?
I think it's a fairly accurate view.
And, you know, you know, McConnell has been around for a long time.
You know, his counterpart would be somebody like Schumer has also been around for a long time.
You know, he's of the stature of a Schumer or a, you know, the House side, someone like Pelosi, like an elder Statesman, if you can use that term in the Senate, more like an elder operator than a statesman, but he's extremely effective.
You know, if you talk to people who know him, if you talk to people who've been on the wrong side of him, you know, he's not a joke.
He, he knows what he's doing and he's one of these, you know, creatures in politics.
Um, you know, how does he survive that long when, you know, he's doesn't really represent, you know, the electorate, the constituents.
Well, he plays an entirely different game, but the game he plays, he plays it very well.
And, you know, he's not a charismatic person.
He's not a retail guy.
He's a guy who plays the inside game exceptionally well.
And I think, you know, the results speak for themselves.
They haven't been good for the American people, but there's a reason he's been around for so long and nobody's been able to take him out.
Well, I think that's right.
And it is a structural issue.
It is a structural position, which he holds whereby in, yes, he is ostensibly within the Republican party.
And yes, he will, he will perform the functions of the party as well.
And certainly for those who have been on the wrong side of him, it is, he has considerable influence within the government.
But at the same time, you also realize that it's just, as you say, the game that he's playing is different.
So when people can't quite understand why would he support this?
Why would he support that?
And And basically the contention that I was receiving was that it isn't necessarily that he opposes the SAVE Act, it's more that he opposes anything that would be an affront to government spending.
Any obstacle, any potential gumming up of the works, any potential bottleneck to the money flowing would be something that he opposes and is something that would then be would be opposed rigorously by him.
Now, are there ways to get around that?
Yes, there are.
Because, oh, by the way, spending bills are not under the Constitution meant to originate in the Senate.
They are meant to originate in the House.
and the house of course is currently controlled by Johnson.
So we're actually seeing a situation here, which is quite interesting, where Johnson, if he's willing, he can go toe to toe with McConnell.
and do so in a way it's something that President Trump, by the way, is extremely behind the SAVE Act.
Senator Mike Lee, Elon Musk has been tweeting now more frequently about the SAVE Act.
He would find, Speaker Johnson would find so much support if he were to stand up against McConnell and do the right thing.
The question is, is he willing to go through the crucible or as you like to call it, the pain box that he would be placed in, We'll chat about that in a second.
We're coming back after a quick break.
What is the pain box, and will Speaker Johnson be willing to go into it?
Stay tuned.
Right back, Human Events.
Quick break.
I rolled with bloods, and them boys had a saying.
You can't be listening to all that slappy, whack, Trematizolitzabam-ship, nippy-bam-bam, like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, folks.
Jack Pasovic back here.
Washington, D.C.
Human Events Daily.
Folks, the world is in flames.
Kamala Harris is a complete and total disaster.
But it cannot and will not ruin my day.
Do you know why?
It's because I start my day with a hot America-first cup of Blackout Coffee.
This coffee is 100% America.
Blackout Coffee is 100% committed to conservative values.
From sourcing the beans to the roasting process, customer support and shipping, they embody true American values and accept no compromise on taste or Look, I love this stuff.
It powers me, it powers the family.
I just got the cold brew from Blackout Coffee.
I love this.
The flavors are incredible.

Darren, in the last segment, so we were setting the stage and by the, about this, so Speaker Johnson, Will he be willing to hold up the spending act for the save act to be included in this package against not just Joe Biden and the Democrats, but even potentially against Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans, by the way, we got an email in from Ben here. but even potentially against Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans, He says, Jack, no illegal alien should be able to vote.
Kind of funny.
A country like Mexico has a national voter identification card.
Why don't we?
Pretty critical, pretty critical.
So look, you got Johnson, you got McConnell.
Darren, you've described the concept of the pain box before.
This is something that we haven't really seen Johnson be put in yet.
He did sort of begin to on the Ukraine spending bill, but he eventually pushed that forward and, you know, essentially got some cover in order to do so.
But if he were to go up on this, this would really be the first time that the regime would want to put him in the pain box, wouldn't it?
Yes, it would.
And so I wouldn't necessarily hold my breath, although if he has a certain degree of heightened ambition, this could really be an opportunity for him to make a name for himself and to redeem against doubts that have accrued as to the substance of his leadership.
So really, he could end up, you know, justifying the whole thing of him replacing
Uh McCarthy and becoming the position that he's in this is kind of his moment if he wants to take it but that goes along with the pain box and he might figure it's just not worth it or maybe there could be some saving face gesture where it looks like he's opposing it for a little bit and then finds a way out that's another fairly typical approach so we'll just have to see but you know the mechanics of it are interesting but
I have to agree with the email that you just got.
Just the very concept of there not being a citizenship requirement and verification requirement to be able to vote seems to be on its face totally absurd to the point of negating the very concept of citizenship as such.
Darren, walk us through, for folks who aren't quite familiar with the concept of the pain box, or folks who haven't seen Dune or read any of the books, what exactly do you mean by the pain box?
Well, you know, it just is when the entire regime comes down upon you, and there are various stakeholders in the regime, and they all have their pressure points, and those pressure points can be very coordinated, as we all know, and we've seen the pain boxes evolution, depending on who the target is, there are different sort of vulnerabilities, but it all clamps down together and you just have to endure it.
You know, there's no better example of this than Trump, who is, seems to thrive in the pain box.
He's at his best in the pain box.
In fact, to the point that it's, I don't even know if you'd call it a pain box anymore, just because he deals with it so effectively as though it's nothing, but you see it in, you know, various people who've been attacked by the media where the whole thing comes various people who've been attacked by the media where the whole thing comes down Alex Jones, great example of somebody who's lived in the pain box for a long time.
Elon Musk, I kind of popularized that term in reference to Elon purchasing Twitter and how this will change his relationship to the regime.
He's starting to see what the pain box could look like, especially with the recent arrest of Pablo Durkheim, a fellow ex-CEO.
That's kind of where the pain box seems to be leading these days.
It used to be just reputational damage, but precisely because people like Elon now own and control and put forth a kind of free speech agenda on these major platforms, that's really inhibited the regime's capacity to implement the pain box in that traditional that's really inhibited the regime's capacity to implement the pain box in that traditional mode of getting swarms of people to attack your reputation, basically socially shame That's far more difficult with new management of Twitter.
And part of the reason why we think we've discussed this in earlier segments, why the doxing attacks have become so much less effective these days.
The pain box of that variety doesn't function as well when Twitter is free speech and you have a lot of the commissar types who have been neutralized.
And so the regime has moved to the next stage of that, which is they're not even reputationally destroying people, getting them deplatformed.
They're just going straight to criminalizing, throwing people in prison, arresting them.
And you see that with people like Doug Mackey, who have been arrested and tried and convicted, felony for memes embarrassing the regime, specifically Hillary Clinton.
But now you're seeing that at sort of the tech oligarch level.
And Elon is very much on the chopping block.
So in his own way, Johnson, if he actually chooses to make this a fight and make a name for himself in the process, which I think would be it would be a gamble, but I think it would pay off if he sticks with it.
He would have our support, of course, and the support of many, many American people.
But yeah, the regime has pressure points, and in this specific kind of context, McConnell, as the appropriator, the appropriations guy, the money guy, he knows how to turn the levers of that pain box in a very specific way.
That's just the nature of the game.
The higher the stakes, the more difficult the pain box, but also the more valuable and consequential the reward.
So I'm hoping that Johnson is made of stronger stuff than we imagine, and he proves us all that he's actually the leader deserving of the position that he holds.
Peter Thiel said recently in an interview that this is one of the reasons that compromised people are put into positions of power, is that the act of being compromised by having some blackmail out there, or, I think he was talking about Jeffrey Epstein, the idea being then that if they knew they all had blackmail on each other,
Then they could trust each other because if someone stepped out of line, then they wouldn't even have to put them in the pain box.
They would just use the threat of the blackmail coming out to be able to control all their actions.
So this essentially becomes like, it's sort of like when you pay the dues to become members of a private club in a way.
That's sort of how Epstein's Island and the activities at Epstein's Island actually functioned.
Yeah, I think there's, I don't know if that's specifically what was going on with Epstein, but I think the general logic kind of applies.
I mean, there is a joke early on that, you know, the best way to ensure one's political prospects in the future is to do a bunch of very compromising things, videotape it yourself and send the videotape to You know, George Soros or whomever basically saying, OK, now you have this absolutely devastating leverage on me.
So now it's in your interest to elevate me to the most, you know, consequential position possible because, you know, I'm not going to step out of line.
And so it's sort of a mutual benefit of thing at this point.
If you have a ton of leverage on me, it's in your interest that I become president, because why not?
Wouldn't you rather have a president that you have total control over?
Yeah, I think that that logic makes sense and it does account for a lot of the way these things work.
Probably more so than even people come up to someone and say, oh, we've seen you've been doing this or this, you better do this for us.
No, I think people kind of willingly and almost implicitly sort of become part of the same group and they all know who's going to step Who steps out of line and who's not going to step out of line.
Actually, funny you mention that because this seems to be something that the regime is having trouble with with Bobby Kennedy because he's completely gone haywire on them.
And so they keep trying to cycle through things that they can find in their dossier on him.
You know, what was this thing about the, you know, the whale and the bear and there's something from years ago.
And, you know, it's something where it's so dangerous.
To see these various anti-regime elements reach up against one another, that they're sort of caught in a bind because the regime has been cleaning up the messes of the Kennedys for so many years that it has almost become a structural aspect of the regime itself to clean up the skeletons in the Kennedy's closet, not to reveal them.
Exactly.
No, that's a great point.
Yeah, they can't be too happy about the developments with RFK, and obviously he's going to go through a pain box of his own, but I think he'll weather it just fine.
But there is a big question mark looming over Speaker Johnson, and let's see if he's up for a fight.
It's a worthy fight, especially now.
It's going to resonate with a lot of people.
It's one of those things, you know, it's controversial in the fake world of kind of mainstream media and political commentary.
But to any reasonable person with a modicum of common sense, it's inconceivable that it wouldn't be the case to have to verify citizenship in order to vote.
So I think it really informs to that structure of issues that are controversial within the fake D.C. world, but common sense to the overwhelming majority of Americans.
Darren, we're just about out of time.
Where can people go to get more of your work, and what's the latest we can expect from Revolver?
Revolver.news.
We have something big coming up on the Durov case, actually, that should be up a little bit later today.
And for now, we have a piece up still white-hot on what Trump should do to win the election.
Revolver.news.
Check it out.
He seems to be following a lot of your advice, by the way.
Specifically, something we've called for as well, the in-person interactions.
They got that Vietnamese restaurant yesterday that made me want to go get some pho.
I love seeing President Trump just interacting with the regular people.
Maximize Trump's attention.
All right, folks.
We're going to Pennsylvania next.
Stay tuned.
Where's Jack?
Where's Jack?

All right, folks, I want to go back now to the great state of Pennsylvania.
Look, we've been seeing a lot of news out of Pennsylvania.
We've seen a lot of numbers out of Pennsylvania.
With the Rust Belt, all of the polls that keep coming out of Pennsylvania, even though a lot of the Rust Belt polls have been tightening, Pennsylvania has been remaining very steady.
And we're talking Trump plus one, Trump plus two, Trump plus three.
Again, these are not blowouts.
We knew Pennsylvania was always going to be tight.
But remember, If you get Pennsylvania and you get Georgia, you get the presidency.
The key is Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania is the key, and the road to 1600 Pennsylvania runs directly through the Keystone State.
So, Cliff Boney Jr.
is our guest, and he has made that his crusade to make sure that we get this across the finish line.
Cliff, what's going on, man?
Jack, always glad to be with you.
Thanks for having me.
By the way, I was totally mug-checking Cliff during the break here, because I've got my Wawa classic right here.
Note the classic Wawa logo, folks.
This is back when we had a car crash.
Super bass.
Super bass.
So I see you've got your Sixers hat, and then, is that a Philly shirt?
Or no, Pennsylvania Chase shirt.
Pennsylvania Chase.
I gotta rep it.
I gotta rep it.
Oh, okay.
I see.
So you're using the color scheme.
Very smart.
Very smart to get that across.
But walk me through what the latest is out of the great state of Pennsylvania.
Yeah, so the mail-in ballot request is obviously what we're focused on.
Look, the variable we control, Jack, are the Republican mail-in ballot requests.
The variable you don't control, but you hope that it goes your way, is the Democrat mail-in ballot request.
And I do have good news to report to your viewers, and that is that Democrats are scrambling right now in Philadelphia and Allegheny County.
I mean, Philadelphia alone If you look at the county this time four years ago, they had roughly 130,000 Democrats that had requested a mail-in ballot.
Today, they're just over 90,000.
And people say to me, well, Cliff, there was COVID, there was a pandemic.
And you look at Allegheny County, it's the same thing.
They had roughly 120 four years ago, and they're just shy of 100.
So their percentage is a little better, but these are Democrat mail-in ballot requests.
And we know the way they won in 2020 was by running up the score, right?
By going in and getting these mail-in ballot requests.
If they're not requesting ballots, they're going to have to show up on election, which we know gives them a much less of a chance of voting.
But Jack, one big number to share with you.
If you just look at statewide Democrats in terms of four years ago versus today, They are down 80,000 Democrat mail-in ballot requests, and we only lost the state by 80,000 votes.
So right now they're scrambling.
This is not something that they take lightly.
They know they need these numbers, and to see them struggling so much shows the Harris campaign does not have the momentum that they're going to need to win in November.
So this is huge, by the way, and don't bury the lead for folks.
Are you saying that Republicans are actually registering these mail-in ballots at a pace that is almost at the same level of Democrat pandemic level mail-in ballot requests?
So what I'm saying is if you look compared to 2020 at this time, right, this far out from the election, obviously we know the numbers are going to drop.
And so Republicans are down about 19,000 from where they were four years ago.
Democrats are down 80,000.
Do Democrats have more?
Absolutely.
But they need more, right?
They're relying on that.
And so them being down, look, any drop in mail-in ballots, because Democrats overwhelm the success and win on mail-in ballots, any overall drop is a huge win for us, right?
And we're only talking about needing to drop it one point or two points.
And so for them to be down 80,000 raw votes or raw mailing requests from where they were four years ago, they've got to make that up.
If they keep that trend and they're down even just 100,000 to 200,000 from where they were in 2020, how are they going to make up those votes?
And especially when you have the energy and we are out there chasing ballots.
Scott Pressler, Early Vote Action, Turning Point Action with Tyler and Charlie, our group, The Citizens Alliance doing the PA chase.
Because remember, Jack, in 2020, 141,000 Republicans requested a mail-in ballot in PA—Republicans!—and never sent it back.
But nobody talked to them, right?
We weren't chasing ballots.
We all said, you know what?
Forget that.
Vote on election day.
Well, now is when we change.
Now is when we adapt.
That 141,000 number is not going to be a problem in 2024 because we're fighting fire with fire.
We're using the Democrat strategy, and that scares the living hell out of them.
What can people do, so people who are watching, and look, I've been and people have seen that I've been very supportive of Task Force 47.
People are all involved with Turning Point Action.
What can people do to get involved with the PA Chase?
If someone's watching this and they say, look, this sounds great.
We got to focus on Pennsylvania.
What can I do?
Particularly, by the way, what if you don't even live in Pennsylvania?
Are there things people can do?
Absolutely.
Look, there's something for everybody.
Right now, Nate Silver, whether you love him or hate him, puts Pennsylvania at a 96.1% chance that if Trump wins PA, he wins it all.
It is the highest-ranked state.
It is a must-win.
And as you said, Pozo, you win PA and Georgia.
It's over.
So folks can go to pachase.com.
They can sponsor a ballot chaser.
We've got 10 Airbnbs across PA loaded with our ballot chasers.
We launch this Sunday.
We're going to knock 500,000 doors between Sunday and Election Day, chasing those Republican ballots that are sitting on the table.
But if folks are out of state, you can send postcards.
You can send text messages.
You can call folks.
There is something for everybody to do.
And let me just give a plug here, Jack.
So many of these groups, whether it's the RNC, the GOP, the PA GOP, Early Vote Action, Turning Point, all of us are working together legally, coordinating legally.
That's the big difference, and that's what gives me so much optimism.
But if folks want to get involved right now, PAchase.com, I want to fully fund this thing.
A day of ballot chasing costs $175, even if you can only toss in $20.
But anyone that wants to volunteer, anybody that wants to sponsor them, this is ground zero right here in Pennsylvania.
And mark my words, if we win PA, we take back the White House, and the path to winning PA is fixing the mail-in ballot problem.
That's what we're aiming to do.
Look, I've told this story many times, but in 2016, where did I spend the entire election day?
It was right in the county of Philadelphia, running around.
James O'Keefe was running around there as well.
And when I saw that the county of Philadelphia did not come out for Hillary Clinton, I knew that Donald Trump was going to be president.
So I walked right down, well, I drove right over to 30th Street Station.
I bought a ticket.
I went, I took the train right up to New York and I walked over.
To the victory party, knowing, in the back of my head, that if Trump wins Pennsylvania, and I knew that he would, and he did, that he would become the president.
The difference being, though, that they, now you can't observe that on the ground the way you could back in 2016, because Trump did so well that they actually changed the way that we hold elections in America.
That's why they got rid of Election Day.
That's why they went to Pennsylvania.
We'll talk about this, we're coming up on a break, but You know, we'll talk about it in the next segment, where Pennsylvanians do not have this culture prior to 2020 of mail-in ballots, of early voting.
It's just not something that's been part of our electoral process.
We've had the culture from time immemorial in the United States of Going on election day and voting in person.
That's how it was when I was a young boy.
When I went with my father, we voted at the local gym.
That's how it's been for them.
So we've got to talk about how to fight the new fight and use modern tactics to be able to do so.
Folks, we'll be right back.
The Pennsylvania Chase, Cliff Maloney Jr., joins us here.
Human Events coming up next.
In my ear about the boring people at your office.
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, Jack Posobiec back here.
Human events daily.
1776 human events dot com.
1776 at human events dot com.
We've got breaking news that just popped during the debate and broken, of course, the story by President Trump himself.
He has come out and said that he's reached an agreement with the radical left Democrats for a debate with comrade Kamala Harris, that it will be broadcast live on ABC fake news under the same rules as the last CNN debate.
He says, which seemed to work out well for everyone except perhaps crooked Joe Biden.
But specifically, Tuesday, September 10th, the debate will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
So there you go, folks.
Maybe President Trump must have been watching human events daily because we're sitting here talking about Pennsylvania is the key.
And it's certainly something that both campaigns agree on.
They know that the path to the White House leads through Pennsylvania.
There you go, folks.
In the middle of the show, Human Events Daily is not going to steer you wrong.
The first debate will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, underscoring the importance of Pennsylvania as potentially the top battleground state.
And if this is the top battleground state, then folks, you got to grab your classic Wawa mugs, which Wow, of course it's not a sponsor, but I wish they were.
And you've got to get your Sixer hats, and you've got to get your Eagles gear, and your Steelers gear, and your Pirates, and your Phillies, and your Wawa, and your Turkey Hill, and your Rutters, and your Sheets.
And then everybody needs to get together, because we're going to Pennsylvania.
I'm going home to Pennsylvania, because Pennsylvania is where the fight is cliffed.
Let me get your reaction to this breaking news.
Well, I think it just shows you, like we said, I mean, this is ground zero, right?
You have to win Pennsylvania.
Look, there's a lot of paths to win the White House that don't have Pennsylvania, but man, does it become much harder to win if you lose?
And it becomes much easier to win if you take it.
So I just think that, you know, Harris is probably smart to do it in Philly.
It's where she's hemorrhaging the most.
You know, as I told you, they're down 30,000 mail-in ballot requests from Democrats this time four years ago.
And so I love it.
Bring it.
You know, I want Trump to talk to the people of the city of Philadelphia.
We are seeing inroads.
I mean, like we've never seen before, especially with black men.
And so I just think that she's doing this because she knows, just like the Trump campaign, that Pennsylvania is a must win.
And agreeing to do the first debate there just doubles down on that.
It's going to come down to Pennsylvania, and that's why we have to be all in on winning the Keystone State.
Look, they're going to be out in full force, but we also hear, you know, I got to, you know, I'll give a little bit of credit, I guess, where it's due to Mark Zuckerberg for at least he sort of sees, I've seen the error of my ways.
And he said that he's not going to be putting that Zucker bucks back into the elections.
Look, this was a huge factor in Pennsylvania in 2020.
This was a because Cliff you remember I was going around the city and there were signs everywhere make a plan to vote make sure you vote and it was just everywhere you turn in the city it was blanketed with vote voting day is uh you know coming up make sure you vote have a plan what there were uh there were like blimps and zeppelins and airplanes flying around with
you know, all of this, all of this cash that the city was suddenly flushed with, thanks in part to people like CTCL and the Zuckerberg, you know, Zuckerberg Chan Institute or initiative, whatever, what it was called, all the Zuckerbucks rolling around.
And they were using that as Democrat superchargers out there.
This was also, by the way, done in part, thanks, of course, to our now illustrious governor, Josh Shapiro, who told us, of course, back in 20, I think it was October of 2020 when he was talking to his best friend, Jake Tapper, his BFF, that once all the votes are counted in Pennsylvania, that once all the votes are counted in Pennsylvania, Joe Biden will be declared the winner.
That's funny, Josh.
That's funny that you seem to know that prior to the election.
It's just, just amazing.
Just an amazing coinkydink, but Cliff, look, everybody knows Pennsylvania is the key, but of course, Kamala Harris did not choose Josh Shapiro, did she?
Right, and I think that was a big signal that I think we dodged a bullet.
They wanted to play in a lot of these swing states by choosing Tim Walz, but they probably would have lost Michigan if they went with Shapiro.
And that's the decision they made, but I think they probably made a mistake because Pennsylvania will decide the election.
And look, Zuck Bucks This is the thing that Democrats are smart about.
They use this 501c3 dark money and what they do is they can consider it educational and what they do is they go into areas where they know they can run up the score because it's 90-10 or it's 80-20.
And the nice thing about this cycle is we are adapting, right?
We are doing some of these tactics.
And obviously where I'm chasing ballots, you know, people say, oh, are you going into Philly and you're going to Pittsburgh?
Not really.
I mean, we'll spend some time there on Republican ballots, but I'm going into counties like York County that have tons of Republicans that need to send their ballots back.
Right.
And that's the beautiful thing about Pennsylvania, Jack.
We have the numbers.
I mean, remember in 2020, we were down by nearly 700,000.
Registrations, Democrat to Republican.
We've cut that in half.
We're down 350,000 now.
We're still down.
But remember, Trump only lost by 80,000 votes.
So if you have 350,000 that you've gained back since 2020, we have the voters out there.
We just need to turn them out.
Scott Pressler's out there registering more people.
Turning Point Action's out there registering more people.
And we're all coming together to just get those folks that have registered and say, look, Make sure you have a plan to vote.
It's right out of Zuckerberg's playbook, but we're doing it with Republicans.
We've got to match their tactics.
And this is key.
Look, I want to get back as much as anyone to that civic The Civic Ritual, the Civic Ceremony that was the community, actual communities and actual community relations and organizing of Voting Day.
You would go, and you know what the original ballot integrity, the original election integrity was?
You knew the people who were at your polling place!
That's why we didn't have all these crazy rules in place because we had actual communities and people would say, oh, you haven't, you know, you haven't come in and voted.
Now, what do we have?
We have Tammany Hall and we have the Philadelphia, you know, and, you know, Bob Brady tactics all across the country.
And you know what I mean by Bob Brady tactics.
Yeah, and I think what people have to realize is, look, you and me, Jack, we want single-day voting.
We don't want same-day registration.
We want paper ballots, hand count.
Those aren't the rules, right?
And so we, you know, in 2020, we all said, well, there's a lot of potential for fraud.
Let's not vote by mail.
I was one of those that said that.
In 2021, we said, well, maybe the courts will fix it.
They didn't.
2022, we said, well, maybe the lawmakers in Pennsylvania will fix it.
Well, we lost the House.
Right?
And now we're all like, well, maybe we just need to adapt.
It doesn't mean we shouldn't play some defense and try to change those laws.
But the key is that while the RNC and while these other organizations are trying to change the election laws, we need to continue to play offense.
Right?
I hate mail-in ballots.
The New York Times made fun of me.
The guy running mail-in ballots.
Cliff, throw out the website again, man.
We're just about out of time for the Pennsylvania case.
