The Poso 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.
Today we are announcing campaign finance, bribery, and conspiracy charges against Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City.
Mayor Adams engaged in a long-running conspiracy in which he solicited and knowingly accepted illegal campaign contributions from foreign donors and corporations.
As we allege, Mayor Adams took these contributions even though he knew they were illegal.
This is not surprising to us at all.
The actions that have unfolded over the last 10 months, the leaks, the commentary, the demonizing, this did not surprise us that we reached this day.
And I ask New Yorkers to wait to hear our defense before making any judgments.
Looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing.
When she was unable to answer the question about are you better off now than four years ago, I think that was illustrative.
Four years ago, literally, we were in a pandemic.
It was an easy answer.
We can look at exactly what happened.
He's already been president.
And we can look at what happened when she was vice president, and it's not good, the comparison.
Being the president, Joe, as you know, is different than being vice president.
It's not close.
So she can take credit for the good things that happened with Biden, but she didn't have anything to do with the bad.
Here's what's a little tricky.
She doesn't answer the question around if the GOP is controlling the Senate, if she can't raise corporate taxes, where is she going to get the money from?
You know, to expand the child tax credit and do all the things she wants to do.
And she says, we just have to do it.
And that's great and that's a campaign promise, but the issue is, if it means we're just going to borrow again, then what we're doing is we're just never addressing the deficit.
What's the first word that pops into your head?
When you hear the name Kamala Harris.
Liar.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C.
Today is September 26, 2024.
I know, Dominique.
Folks, we got a big one today.
Melania Trump herself.
A lot of people ask and they say, where's Melania?
We want more Melania.
We got to hear more about Melania.
Look, Look, she does things in her own time.
We know that she's had the book coming out.
She's had this huge media tour that's been planned.
She started the tour just today.
And yes, as I see the great Marley USA says in the comments here, Queen has arrived.
Ladies and gentlemen, Melania Trump has entered the race and she has finally told publicly for the first time her side of the story about how it was and where she was when she found out that her husband had been shot through the ear.
We have a clip.
We're gonna play it.
The mainstream media, there were a few days of reporting about July 13 event and everything then became quiet.
So I had a lot of questions.
What's going on?
This is not normal.
And is it really shocking that all this egregious violence goes against my husband, especially that we hear the leaders from the opposition party and mainstream media branding him as a threat to democracy, calling him vile names.
They only fueling a toxic atmosphere and giving power all of these people that they want to do harm to him.
This needs to stop.
This needs to stop.
The country needs to unite.
And I encourage everybody to read my letter that I wrote on July 14 again.
Because that cannot continue.
Your son is in college, I understand, but he's still your child.
This is his father.
How difficult was that, to have that conversation with him?
Very difficult.
Very difficult.
He was outside playing sport, and he rushed in, and it was very, very difficult.
Wow, just incredible, and I can't wait to be able to share with you guys Melania's side of the story when she told Ainsley Earhart there about what happened, where she was, and how she first heard that President Trump had been shot.
We'll be able to get that for you in the next segment, hopefully, but just listening to her there, talking about how her son found out about this, and then you heard her response as well to the mainstream media.
Your rhetoric and the Democrat rhetoric, calling her president a threat, has kept his life under active, active threat.
This has to stop.
Melania Trump entering the race.
We'll be back with more.
Next segment continues.
Jack, it's over.
We talk about influences.
These are influences.
and their friends of mine.
Jack, so like where's Jack?
Jack, he's done a great job.
All right, Jack Posobiec back live here, folks.

Alright, I want to go back now to this interview with Melania Trump discussing the assassination attempts on her husband, the President.
It's interesting how quiet and everything became.
All of the mainstream media.
There were a few days of reporting about July 13 event and everything then became quiet.
So I had a lot of questions.
What's going on?
This is not normal.
And is it really shocking that all this egregious violence goes against my husband, especially that we hear the leaders from the opposition party and mainstream media branding him as a threat to democracy, calling him vile names.
They only fueling a toxic atmosphere and giving power all of these people that they want to do harm to him.
This needs to stop.
This needs to stop.
The country needs to unite.
And I encourage everybody to read my letter that I wrote on July 14 again, because that cannot continue.
Folks, when you look at Melania Trump there and you hear this interview and she's got her new book out, which I of course encourage people to go and check out.
It's number one on Amazon right now.
I can't wait to read it myself.
You're looking at someone who views all of this through a different lens.
See, we think about it in terms of What's the future for the country?
What's the future for the movement?
What's the future for the election?
And we play these stories on a daily basis.
We play this back and forth of Trump's up today, Trump's down today.
Kamala's getting momentum.
Is Kamala-mentum real?
It's obviously not.
For Melania Trump and for Barron Trump and for every member of President Trump's family, this is not, okay, this is not a game.
This is not a horse race.
It's not just some story in the news that they read and they go to the next one.
For them, it's their actual lives.
So for her, different from everyone else on the planet, she mentioned seeing it there and hearing about it twice now, It wasn't just some story.
It wasn't just some piece on the news.
This was her husband.
This was the father of her son.
Shot.
Through the ear.
And then again, threatened when they were out playing golf.
His favorite pastime.
And her sitting there, having to think about the fact that he might not come home.
That this rally might be the one where he doesn't make it back.
And the guy has said that next week he's going back to Butler and that he's going to be appearing at the exact same spot where he almost lost his own life.
And we're going to get, I have this other clip coming where she talks about how it was a miracle.
And I think we all agree.
And that's why when Joshua Lysak and myself put together the Bulletproof Project, We couldn't think of another word that was better than that.
Bulletproof.
And the image that we chose, now people are asking, why did you choose this image for the cover and not the image, the more iconic image, I think, of the one where his fist is up in the air?
And I said, you know something?
The image of Donald Trump that we received that day, Where he was down, where his hands were up in front of his face, obviously catching himself when he was knocked down by the Secret Service.
But it occurred to me months after, and as we were in the process of writing this, which will become the first bulletproof report for the Bulletproof Project, that this was a Donald Trump that we hadn't seen before.
What's the one thing you've never seen Donald Trump do in public?
Certainly never at a rally.
Get down on his knees and pray.
You never saw it before.
But you know what?
On July 13th, that's exactly what he did.
Because he humbled himself.
He was humbled.
He was brought to his knees.
And when you look at that picture, when you see that, his hand in front of his face, He's praying.
He's clearly praying.
And he's on his knees in front of the entire world.
And it's after that moment that he rises up to his feet and his hand raises in the air.
But this is the moment.
This is the moment where he was brought down, where the bullets are still raining all around him.
And that's the moment where I believe, and I think a lot of people believe, that God spoke to him.
I want to play that clip now.
Melania Trump talking about it being a miracle.
The TV and I rewind it and I watched it.
I was only a few minutes behind and something, I guess, look over me.
So I didn't really see live, live, but maybe, you know, three minutes, few minutes later.
But when I saw it, I, you know, it was only nobody really knew yet.
Because when you see him on the floor and you don't know, you don't know what really happened.
And then a few weeks later, there's another attempt on your husband's life at your golf course.
Where were you and what was your reaction to this attempt?
I was in New York City, actually, and I saw it on the television.
And as soon as I saw it on television, I called again.
And he was okay, because Secret Service were great.
The guys that they were with him, they were fantastic.
And I think both of the events, they were really miracles.
If you really think about it, July 13 was a miracle.
Like that much and he could, you know, he could not be with us.
And he normally doesn't call for that one screen.
He waits until the end of the speech.
So just looking at that screen allowed him to turn his head.
I think something was watching over him.
I think he's, it's almost like Kant really, really needs him.
Something up there is watching over him.
Protecting him.
Because this country needs him.
There you go.
That's not me saying that.
That's not KD Vance saying that.
Steve Bannon.
It's Melania Trump.
His wife, who's gotten in the race, who's using her own voice to give truth to what so many of us believe, that this was an act of God in response to an act of evil.
That when evil acts, God will respond.
The evil act of Thomas Matthew Brooks, the evil act of Ryan Wesley Ralph, and potentially even future.
Keep in mind, folks, keep in mind.
You think that he's having these briefings with Homeland Security and ODNI and Secret Service and they're all telling him that his life is under active threat and he's not going to mention that a little bit to his wife?
Or you think that she's not going to know?
She follows him on Twitter.
She knows what's going on.
She gets it.
She knows that his life is under active, open threat.
So is hers, by the way.
So is her son's life when he's up there at NYU.
This is what this family has been up to, and this is what they have been through, and this is what they are willing to continue to live with.
And that's why we've put together the Bulletproof Project.
Because if they can go up, and if they can face that on a daily basis, and keep their heads up high, Then they can be an inspiration to all of us.
And we owe it to them to get to the bottom of what is going on and to get to the truth about the assassination attempts on Donald Trump.
And this is an ongoing investigation.
I'm telling you, we have private investigators that are going to continue working on this.
They're going to continue pounding the pavement, device selection and analysis.
We are going to go through running the rat lines, doing whatever we have to do Get the information out, and get the information out to you, the people, and then of course, to get it to the family.
And just truly honored to have Donald Trump Jr., his son, his oldest son, who I've written the foreword for this, because they understand all too well, we're just one inch away.

We're joined here by Kenny Cody, Human Events columnist.
Kenny, I gotta ask you, what did you think of Melania's interview this morning, the first sit-down interview that she's done since the assassination attempts?
Well, I think it is a good timing, because I think that America not only needs to know the political side, the Secret Service side, the Trump and the campaign side of it, but from a personal standpoint, I think Melania needed to talk about her fears that day, along with Barron and the rest of her family, about the attempt on her husband's life.
When you're married to the most beloved and simultaneously the most hated man in the world, depending on who you ask, there's going to be a lot of things that you have to deal with.
I can't imagine how many death threats her family has gotten.
I can't imagine how many threats to her family and to her household that her family has gotten.
But, you know, these last two attempts, I'm sure, has had a vast impact on her.
And when the wife of an attempted, you know, a president that's been attempted to be assassinated comes out on television and says, we need to unite, we need to realize what America first stands for, we need to realize that There has been too much rhetoric surrounding my husband being a threat to democracy over the last decade.
This isn't anything new to any Trump supporter since 2015, that he's been called a fascist, he's been called the next Hitler, he's been called an authoritarian totalitarian for the last 10 years of his political career, and it's finally culminated in two assassination attempts.
So to hear from Melania's perspective, to hear from the fears that she had in her mind, to be thanking the people that helped her husband, To be really just calling for the country to unite behind her husband is a really inspiring message, and I think just the rhetoric she has been formulating for weeks up until this interview has been very ideal for the Trump campaign.
Well, and again, you know, see someone, it kind of even ties back to her be best when she talked about, you know, keeping the rhetoric down.
And, you know, Kenny, something that's interesting is that when I saw JD Vance in Hershey, Pennsylvania with Tucker this past weekend, that JD talked about how, yes, we do have polarization in America.
But we have one side that is trying to censor the other side.
And I said, okay, that's interesting.
Where are you going with that, JD?
And he connected the dots in a very brilliant way, I believe, where he pointed out that first they tried to censor conservatives.
Then they censored Trump from Twitter.
They censored him from social media.
He kept going.
So they realized by creating his own social media through social, Then they went further and said they tried to strip him from the ballot.
That didn't work.
So they tried to arrest him.
That continued to not working.
And so it's through the beginning of censorship where you start to realize that there's something and it's again through the same rhetoric.
They're dangerous.
Their beliefs are dangerous.
Their ideas are dangerous.
Words are violence.
You know, where do we keep hearing this?
It's always from the left.
And then that eventually leads to someone finally going and deciding, taking matters into their own hands, and potentially not just their own hands, potentially others involved, which is something that we're investigating.
But the idea, of course, being that shutting down one side is good.
You only ever see one side doing that.
And so what JD did was point out that Because they were unable to censor him, because they were unable to stop him from running, because they were unable to take away his freedom, now they are trying to take away his life.
It's actually been progressive escalation ever since that in day one.
And you just don't hear that from the right.
You don't hear the right ever calling to censor the left.
It's just not something we talk about, is it?
No, it's not.
I mean, over the last 10 years, if you look about all the political violence that has happened in our country, Most of those threats have consisted of those towards Republicans.
Look at the shooting that involved Steve Scalise.
You look at the assault on Rand Paul by his next door neighbor.
You look at the threats to Nancy Mace when she got sent probably anthrax in the mail.
You look at the threats to Lee Zeldin when he was running for the governor of New York.
I mean, there's been so many instances of the left committing political violence or threatening political violence to Republicans, and you just don't see that from the right.
You don't see it because we have discourse that we make death threats.
You just don't see that.
In America, on the conservative route, because we do strive to be better, not only just as political operatives, but we strive to be better people.
And that comes different when you're going campaigning and trying to label the left for what they are.
But when it comes to just treating them, we're not the ones trying to kill candidates.
That's the left.
The left are trying to kill our presidential nominee.
You know, they call all the time, you know, we call for a rhetoric change and I've saw you, I've tweeted it before and there's been many other people say, well, why don't you just stop trying to kill our candidate?
And JD is right about that.
I think when you have had this rhetoric for 10 years of this man being labeled the way he's been, when he's been silenced the way he's been, the man had to found his own social media platform.
To have a voice in American politics because Twitter banned him.
Facebook banned him.
Instagram banned him.
He literally had to start an entire new platform to even have a voice on the internet.
How crazy is that to even discuss?
And it all leads up to this.
This was the last step.
Like, you can label somebody what you want to.
You can call them what you want to.
You can name call you want to.
But what has ultimately happened is the culmination of the last ten year demonization of Donald Trump's political career and the politicalization of Donald Trump and demonization of Donald Trump as a man.
We have culminated in what has happened to Donald Trump over the last three to four months.
This is nothing new.
You know, even in 2015, I don't know if anybody remembers, in 2015 there was a man who tried to storm the state of Donald Trump and that's barely ever talked about.
necessarily call that an assassination attempt but we might as well actually believe it or not Kenny we actually we detail that in the new book and bulletproof we get into that there is another event in Dayton Ohio right around the same time frame that again people just don't talk about where that guy who tried to storm the stage and that was in Las Vegas he was well Kenny I think you're about to say what did the media do with that guy who tried to storm the stage They slipped it under the rug.
Like they want to in every single aspect of American life.
Well, originally, but originally, so eventually they swept it under the rug.
Originally, though, CNN put him on and interviewed him.
They interviewed him.
They gave him a profile.
And they said, why is it that, and of course, we just went back and we were reviewing all these for the book.
And so CNN gives this guy a profile and they make him famous.
They make him famous for trying to storm the stage.
And if you look in the video, it's very clear, by the way, that he is attempting to take one of the firearms, the sidearm of a Secret Service agent.
So again, attempting to arm himself, attempting to storm the stage, and what does CNN do?
They make him famous.
And that's what the tacit agreement is here.
You try to kill Trump and we'll make you famous.
We'll make you a hero.
You'll be loved.
And that's exactly what this guy, Ryan Wesley Routh, was saying.
We all know what needs to be done.
Everyone around the world, young and old, and the DOJ comes out and puts up a bounty and makes it public.
I mean, this is insane.
And Stephanie Ruhle over on MSNBC in this crazy state propaganda level You know, something that would make this would make Stalin blush, the level of propaganda that MSNBC is doing right now, because they're like, she's up there singing the McDonald's jingle with her doesn't even answer or ask one question.
So Kamala Harris, how are you going to make America better versus you go over to conservative media and we're sitting there going, how are we going to keep our candidate alive until You know, until election day.
It's completely insane, Kenny, the way the media is acting about how, like, President Trump hasn't been shot and David Muir cuts President Trump off.
You know, well, you know, I was shot by an assassin's bullet.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me.
We've got a lot of important information to get to.
Excuse me.
We never asked him a question about it.
Sorry to go off on you, man.
But it's just totally insane how the media acts like this isn't happening right now.
100%.
I mean, it's just the amount of hiding.
I mean, they're allowing one candidate to hide in the basement and not give any media interviews.
Meanwhile, J.D.
Vance has done, what, 90 media appearances, but they won't even talk about literally the last two assassination tips on one of the candidates for the presidency.
Never before in American history have I seen not only the sort of demonization of one political candidate and the wish for death for a political candidate, but like you've said, Jack, in that guy getting interviewed back in 2015, literally being viewed as a hero, being viewed as a figure in the political movement.
You know, back in the day, that person would have been ostracized, put in a mental institution or put in prison and never heard from again.
But in the current political world, the mainstream media on the left want to idolize this guy and make him a hero.
And if it was really up to them, they would make Ryan Ruth crooks and that same guy that we were talking about that's going to be in your book, all heroes because they want Donald Trump dead and they want every one of us dead as well.
By the way, one of the interesting pieces, the individual Michael Sanford, who charged the stage in 2016, eventually pled guilty.
And this is actually great.
This is great because back in 2016, he was sentenced to 11 months of custody.
Then Trump becomes president in January 2017.
And actually, Donald Trump's administration is.
deported Michael Sanford out of the United States in in 2017.
So he actually deported the guy who tried to storm the stage back to he was a British citizen.
So he was able to deport him back to the United Kingdom.
So just just kind of amazing that Donald Trump was able to deport a guy who actually tried to try potentially tried to kill him.
What goes around comes around.
And I'm hoping along with all the deaths that we've seen through illegal immigration, you know, those of Lincoln Riley and others.
I'm really hoping that the same kind of thing happens to the migrants coming over the border that try to kill not only Donald Trump, but other Americans as well.
It's as simple as that.
Kenny, we've got a quick break coming up.
You've got a new column up all about the impact of a certain endorsement that you and I had discussed a while back as to whether or not it would shake up the race, and it looks as though the endorsement itself is being shaken off.
We're going to get into that and more as Human Events Daily continues.
Right back with Kenny Cody.
Jack, where is Jack? where is 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, back here, Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
Folks, if the Roe v. Wade fell, the abortion industry radically changed their tactics.
Today, their top scheme is brainwashing the most vulnerable minds out there, those of young people.
Planned Parenthood and their cronies target college, high school, and even middle school students through academic indoctrination, social media algorithms, and downright lies.
In fact, 9 in 10 Planned Parenthood abortion clinics are within walking distance of a college campus.
But you can stop the merchants of death from poisoning the heart of your child or grandchild before it's too late.

Kenny Cody, you've got a new column out all now.
Tell me, is a certain celebrity endorsement shaking up the race or is the nation shaking it off?
The nation's shaking it off, just like my great state of Tennessee did back in 2018.
I think a lot of people forget when Taylor Swift endorsed Phil Bredesen, who was a very popular Democratic governor in Tennessee from the years of about 2000 until 2010, 2008.
You know, his popularity went up and down.
He ran against Marcia Blackburn in 2018 for the Tennessee U.S.
Senate seat.
And a lot of those thought, well, this hometown girl, this home, if you want to call it that, she's really Pennsylvania-moved.
She was, uh, you know, moving to Tennessee.
She thought that her hometown or proclaimed hometown of Nashville, she can make a political endorsement and have an impact on helping a former governor, a former decently popular Democrat governor, win over Marsha Blackburn.
And that did not happen.
Most polls thought that the race was a toss-up.
Those had it within a margin of three to four points, whether that was for Blackburn or Bredesen.
And after Taylor Swift endorsed, she had literally no impact on the election whatsoever.
And Marsha Blackburn, our great U.S.
Senator from Tennessee, Absolutely trounce Phil Bredesen by nearly 11 points, an expected margin of about five to six points, even more than people thought that the margin would actually end up being, whether it was for Blackburn or for Bredesen.
Democrat Party poured millions into this race, especially after Swift's endorsement, and ultimately had no impact at all.
Huh.
How does that sound familiar?
It sounds familiar of what the Kamala Harris campaign thought that Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and all these celebrities are going to do for her, and it's going to have absolutely zero impact.
It's not going to have a voter registration impact.
It's not going to have any impact on popular culture because Taylor Swift, people hate Taylor Swift more than they hate politicians.
She gets shown on Kansas City Chiefs games all the time, and NFL fans get so mad because she has nothing to do with football in the same way she has nothing to do with politics.
And Tennesseans really were the first person to say, hey, Taylor, maybe stick to this poppy teen girl music that you make for some reason and people like for some reason and leave the politics to us, leave the sports to the football players and stay out of our lives.
And Tennesseans first shown that in 2018 and have a really, really good feeling that Americans and Republicans are going to show her that we could care less what she has to say about politics as well.
And that's really interesting because I think there are actually some polls that came out that said people were less likely to support Harris after hearing that Taylor Swift had supported her rather than had heard it before.
So suddenly, yeah, that becomes a situation where an endorsement cuts more against you than it does help.
By the way, I do want to make a quick mention of something.
In the last segment I was talking about CNN interviewing someone who rushed the stage at President Trump.
CNN interviewed, and I wanted to clarify something I said, CNN interviewed the guy who rushed the stage in Dayton, Ohio and the Las Vegas guy was the one who was deported.
So two separate instances.
The earlier one and the first one was when, was the guy who later got a sit-down interview with CNN, the other guy was the one who was later deported.
But Kenny, when it comes to these situations with celebrities and Taylor Swift in general, isn't there also potential for look, the idea isn't so much that it's going to help her win the race, but it's going to help her with certain demographics.
And you mentioned, you know, teenage girls are really that that young 18 to 24 year old age group.
Do you think that Taylor Swift has the ability to turn them out?
Because look, you know, I like a lot of other people had really called that Taylor Swift Taylor Swift would endorse and then she certainly did.
But at the same time, we haven't really seen her put in any other way.
She's not appearing at rallies with Kamala Harris.
She's not really doing TikTok videos or anything like that.
Do you think that we're going to see more of that?
Or is this Taylor sort of dropping her endorsement and running back out of the race?
It's right back out of the race.
You know, if you look back to Taylor Swift and I mixed this in the article, if you look back to Taylor Swift political history, she advocate for the Black Lives Matter protests.
She advocated for gun reform.
She advocated and actually endorsed Joe Biden in 2020.
She endorsed Phil Bredesen back in 2018, and now she's endorsed Kamala Harris.
But the only impact she's ever really had is in some states, she's increased voter registrations of young people.
But the thing about it is, Jack, and I think me and you have followed politics long enough to know that doesn't really matter unless you actually turn those votes out.
And I think Kit Swift has went far too early in her endorsement.
She's not gave it.
She gave a full throat and endorsement, but she hasn't appeared at rallies.
She's not.
Advocating or wearing Harris gear on stage.
She's not going into performing at Gamal Harris rallies or anything It's just her bowing down to the establishment and bowing down and making the endorsement because she's basically been forced to and I and I think that that's really reflective of a lot of celebrities and politics, you know in the same ways that we don't want sports in our politics and sports and you've seen the rejection of Colin Kaepernick in the NFL and You're seeing the same thing in music.
Many of you have talked before about the hick-a-libs in country music, and we want those country music people who have stood for conservative politics for so many years to stay out of politics.
Just make good country music about Appalachia and Southern life and stay out of politics.
And we're kind of sending the same message to Taylor Swift.
Yeah, you may be a significant figure, unfortunately, within football and now in music, but you don't know anything about politics.
You've been on the wrong side of history.
Over the last 10 years, whether it comes to gun reform or gun policy and assault weapon ban reform, you want to talk about the BLM protests.
We saw the reflection of that in public polling and the reflection of that and the reaction to protests like Kamala Harris advocated for in Minnesota.
You see all of these impacts and the opinions that she's had on politics and the activism she's had on politics over the last 10 years, and all of them have came to fail here.
Phil Bredesen got beat by 11 points when he was only expected to get beat by 4 or 5, and that may be what happens to Kamala Harris in 2024.
Her one successful endorsement, if you want to call it that, I guess, was of Joe Biden in 2020.
But she had no feasible or marginal impact on that race whatsoever.
I mean, literally, there is no metric to prove that Taylor Swift helped him in any single state, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, or otherwise.
Seeing her be on the wrong side of every single political position that she's ever taken is kind of heartwarming to me, but really reflective of the reaction to the public when celebrities get involved in politics in general.
And this is a huge thing.
I mean, the American people are not, we're not dumb, right?
You know, people are busy, but they're not stupid.
So people say, people say to me all the time, like, how can you, you know, watch that movie or how can you listen to that song because of, you know, some political leanings of the, of the person.
And, and by the way, what I do try to say is, I don't try to financially support people who are working against my interests.
That's the big one.
I do not financially support with not my money or which is not my money.
It's my family's money, right?
Every dollar I earn does not belong to me.
It belongs to my family.
That's number one.
But the idea is if you don't financially support that then you're not giving money to them and they say well how could you even like it and it's like these people aren't and it just seems by and large it just seems by and large that the American people understand that yeah just because I like the way someone can sing or like just the way I like someone can act that doesn't mean I like the way that they
Think if you're going to get your political views from some actor or some celebrity, you know, that's like going to, uh, it's like going to get your car fixed by one of them too.
It just, it ain't going to work.
It ain't going to work.
And I'm not going to ask her to fix my tire.
I want to sing her song.
Great.
Sing my song, but I'm not interested in your opinions.
Last minute to you, Kenny Cody.
Yeah, Jack, I completely agree.
I mean, there's many artists that I enjoy and many things that I watch that I know those people don't agree my political beliefs, but You know, TMZ's not going to come ask me to go on and talk about what relationships are going on in Hollywood for the same reason that Taylor Swift shouldn't be talking about politics.
Stick to what you know and don't try to demonize half your fan base.
When you are advocating for Kamala Harris, you're literally making mad at least half of your fan base at every turn of your tour or what you're trying to do.
So just don't demonize.
We shouldn't listen to what Taylor Swift has to say about politics at all.
Couldn't agree more, and that's exactly what Melania Trump has said.
Kenny Cote, go give him a follow, folks, and check out his article on Taylor Swift and all of his articles.
Right back, Libby Emmons joins us next.
Buzzing 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 here, back live, Human Events Daily.
And since we're doing the Human Events on Human Events show today, we had Human Events columnist Kenny Cody.
We now have Human Events Editor-in-Chief Libby Emmons joining us, also the Editor-in-Chief of the Postmillennial.
Libby, you're a New Yorker.
I'm trying to understand these Eric Adams charges, the first sitting New York mayor to ever be indicted.
And he got some upgrades on some flights or something and that's why he's getting indicted.
I'm so confused what's going on here.
Yeah, so these are allegations that came out from the Department of Justice.
They've been going after Adams in earnest.
Since about this time last year, which coincidentally is when Adam started speaking out against the Biden-Harris border crisis and saying that the crisis was going to destroy New York City, that they were unable to accommodate all of these migrants who were pouring in.
And it was, in fact, as he was heading to DC to give Joe Biden a piece of his mind, where he was scheduled to meet with some other mayors and the president.
That he learned that his former campaign manager had her home raided in Brooklyn by the FBI.
And it turned out that there were allegations that there were improper campaign donations from Turkish officials, Turkish airlines, things like this.
So now, after a few weeks of us seeing different members of the Adams administration resign or be forced out, Over, you know, after their homes were raided and things like that.
We see this indictment come down for Eric Adams.
It alleges bribery.
It alleges that he took, you know, campaign donations.
The basic premise of what the DOJ said is that Turkish officials gave him a bunch of money and that they funneled it through individuals in the U.S.
since it's not legal to take campaign donations from foreign agents and things like that.
That's the big thing, and then it says that one thing that he did also was get a bunch of free upgrades on Turkish Airlines, that this is illegal, and that he, in turn, allowed the Turkish consulate, a rather large building in New York, to be occupied without it having passed fire inspection.
OK, so I mean, look, that's that's that's there.
I mean, I'm not sure if there is anything in terms of actual donations of Turkish money.
Sure, that's illegal.
But you know what?
There's lots of Democrats who take foreign money.
Joe Biden has taken foreign money through his son.
We know that he did that.
We have money.
We've had so much foreign money.
And yet this guy gets indicted over a couple of of Flight upgrades, some seat upgrades on an airplane.
Meanwhile, Libby, I just gotta ask you, right?
Eric Adams is the only big city mayor in America who has directly criticized Joe Biden and the White House for years about the migrant crisis, about illegal aliens, about the strain on New York.
And suddenly he's indicted just a month before the election.
Don't tell me that's not connected.
I also am with you on that.
I think it's connected also.
I've seen a lot of people on social media saying like, oh, it's not connected, you know, you and your conspiracy theories or whatever.
But he is the only big city mayor and it's the biggest city.
It's the city that is the jewel of the country, you know, if you could take my biased opinion for it.
And he is a, you know, he's a Democrat.
He's a very prominent Democrat.
And, you know, he's been a big voice in New York for a long time.
And he has come out repeatedly and said that the Biden-Harris administration was destroying the city.
He used those words that this crisis would destroy the city.
New York City, for all of its faults, has many more, including that it's a sanctuary city.
Including that it has a right to shelter law, meaning that if someone seeks shelter in the city of New York, the city is responsible to provide it.
These things have been used for years for New Yorkers, for Americans.
You know, if there's someone sleeping on the street and they want somewhere to sleep inside, the city will provide it for them.
To a certain extent, that's absolutely a beautiful thing, but it's not something that you can extend to 10,000 extra people who show up every month in your city Looking for handouts.
And this is a very different immigration crisis than the massive immigration influxes that we've seen in past years, right?
The largest year, I think, for immigration in the U.S.
prior to this was through Ellis Island.
It was either 1907 or 1912.
I can't remember.
And it was a little bit over a million people.
They all came in.
They were processed through Ellis Island.
And for the most part, what they wanted to do was assimilate into the country.
They wanted to become American.
They wanted their kids to become American.
My grandparents, who were from Italy, all changed their names so that they could be more American.
You know, they didn't teach any of us Italian because they wanted to be Americans.
That is not What's happening now?
You do not have a bunch of people coming in who want to be Americans.
You just have people coming in that say that they want to, you know, get what America has, that they want to get what America is giving out.
So that is a big difference, right?
You know, to your point as well, I would just add that 50% of the Italians who arrived through Ellis Island returned within the first couple years.
So you had this massive influx, but also you had people who returned very quickly.
So it wasn't this like massive imposition on the country.
There were certain areas, but that was about it.
And at the same time, we're not the same country we were a hundred years ago.
Again, this has been going on for 50 years now where, and President Trump has said that we are, we are changing our cities.
We are changing our towns.
And that has to stop because I love that quote that he gave the other day about how it takes centuries to form the unique character of a state.
And that can be changed overnight through mass migration.
It's just perfect.
Yeah, I think that that's 100% right.
And it is very different.
It's not at all the same.
You know, country, we have taken in everybody.
We have assimilated everyone into our nation.
We have, you know, taken on new customs.
But we also have a situation now where the leadership class hates America.
They say it outright.
You even had Tim Walt had appointed someone for education who called for the overflow of the United, overthrow rather, of the United States government, which is, of course, overflowing.
But this is what they're on about.
So when they are inviting immigrants in, they're saying, come on in.
To America, the worst place on Earth.
We'll give you everything and it doesn't matter what you take from us because we're already trash.
Why is that what's going on?
That's a very different message as well.
When we had the immigration in the past century, we had people coming in because they heard America was great.
Now people hear America is terrible and they have the president saying it's terrible.
They have the vice president who wants to be president saying that it's terrible.
The only one who's out there really banging the drums of patriotism is Donald Trump and, you know, people who are part of that movement.
So I think that it's really a shame what's going on here, and I do think that, you know, Adams, guilty or not guilty, is being politically prosecuted.
Well, I think that's right.
