The pozo daily brief.
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
Stay seated.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posovic.
Christ is.
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is in Moscow this morning where he met with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
The meeting comes ahead of President Trump's Friday deadline for the Kremlin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face new sanctions.
A former Doge staffer was apparently beat up during an attempted carjacking by two teenagers over the weekend.
A word of warning, we've blurred out most of it here, but online it shows Korstine bloodied up, sitting on the ground.
I have to say that somebody from Doge was very badly hurt last night.
You saw that?
A young man who was beat up by a bunch of thugs in DC.
And either they're going to straighten their act out in the terms of government and in terms of protection, or we're going to have to federalize and run it the way it's supposed to be run.
Trump will announce that Apple is going to commit to spend another $100 billion on domestic manufacturing.
That's the latest pledge by the tech giant to increase U.S. production of its products as it seeks to avoid punishing tariffs on its flagship iPhones.
You can see the shares up one and two-thirds percent.
Now to the Israel-Hamas war, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hinting at a wider military action in Gaza.
This new pressure on Netanyahu came as Gaza's health ministry said the Palestinian death toll has surpassed 61,000.
The president is obviously pleased to see the result of the Polish elections.
He met with Karol Narotsky.
He met with him at the White House and he told them, you're going to win.
It's inauguration day for Poland's new president, the political novice who has shown his admiration for Donald Trump and his disdain for the EU is set to take office.
Karol Nowrotsky was elected on a campaign slogan of Poland first, Poles First.
Welcome to Human Events.
I am Bo Davidson filling in for the great Jack Posovic today, who is on assignment overseas.
He's in Poland for the inauguration of the new Polish president, which is very, very exciting stuff, guys.
Karol Navroski, as you heard, is sworn in today as Polish president, vowing to protect Polish sovereignty.
Now this sets up a big battle, folks, between him and Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who wants to move Poland towards a more European Union-friendly government.
It's going to be a big battle between nationalism and globalism.
We're going to have much more on that to come with a report from Pozzo himself, who is in Poland.
Now, on X, Pozzo writes, Poland has risen up against godless open borders globalism.
Patriots are marching across Warsaw.
And that is really the theme of today's Human Events show, nationalism versus globalism.
It's a fight all over the world right now.
And Donald Trump certainly set the tone with that with his historic comeback re-election just last November.
We're going to hear more, as I said, from Jack in just a bit.
And that leads us to our second headline, which is the attack on a Doge staffer, Edward Korostein in D.C. He's 19 years old, just a young 19 years old, and he goes by the name Big Balls.
We've heard that before in the news.
And he fought off carjackers in D.C.'s Logan circle, sustaining a concussion while just trying to help a woman.
Now, this comes with the backdrop of crime in Washington, D.C., led by Mayor Muriel Bowser, who needs to be held accountable.
It's just as simple as that.
Violence is running rampant in the nation's capital.
And even Elon Musk, who has not been a friend of the president lately, he's backing Trump on the idea of federalizing D.C. if Bowser doesn't get it under control.
You know, I performed in Washington, D.C., and among the big, big foot-long rats that I saw running around, I was actually a little bit nervous about walking at night.
I didn't, it was near George Washington University.
I didn't think it was that safe.
Now, Trump posted the following.
Let's take a look at this post.
Crime in Washington, D.C. is totally out of control.
Local, quote, youths and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16 years old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released.
That's true.
They're not afraid of law enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them.
But it's going to happen now.
The law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these, quote, minors as adults and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14.
The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs.
Washington, D.C. must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans, and most importantly, for the world to see.
If D.C. doesn't get its act together and quickly, we will have no choice but to take federal control of the city and run the city how it should be run and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore.
Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago.
Then this incredible young man and so many others would not have to go through the horror of violent crime.
If this continues, I'm going to exert my powers and federalize this city, make America great again.
Surprised he didn't say thank you for your attention to this matter.
That's what he usually does.
But that's true.
Muriel Bowser must be held accountable.
And I agree with Elon Musk and I agree with the president on this.
And finally, we turn our attention to Russia, where special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Vladimir Putin earlier today.
Now, the meeting reportedly lasted about three hours long, and a top aide to Putin stated that it was, quote, a very useful and constructive conversation, end quote.
Now, the main topics were the Ukrainian crisis and the prospect of possible development of strategic cooperation between the United States and Russia.
This is, of course, the fifth visit of Steve Witkoff to Russia.
No ceasefire agreement has been announced as of yet.
Russia faces severe tariffs from the United States under Donald Trump if a deal isn't achieved.
But the clock is ticking on Vladimir Putin and Trump's deadline for peace or sanction talks with Russia.
Now, as Jack Pisovic has reported, Russia has been devastating Ukraine for weeks in the latest offensive.
And White House Steve Envoy Steve Witkoff met with the Russian president and what Russian foreign policy advisor Yuri Ushakov described as, quote, useful and constructive.
And I hope that that's true.
Well, up next, we will hear from Jack Pisovic on the worldwide fight between populists and globalists.
That's the theme of today's show.
Populism versus globalism.
Nationalism versus globalism.
Whose side are you on?
And the massive victory that just took place in the great country of Poland that I love quite a bit.
We'll be right back.
And welcome back to Human Events with Jack Pisovic.
I am Bo Davidson filling in for Jack while he is on assignment overseas in Poland.
We've got a lot more to come from Jack while he is overseas and some special reporting he and Tanya have from there in just a short while.
You know, I've spent some time in Poland, and I mentioned this anecdote only because not a lot of people have spent time in the small areas of Poland, the small cities.
But see, that's where you get the non-tourist experience.
And so years ago, about 2015, 2016, I flew over to a very, very small town called Jagan, which is on the border with Germany.
And I attended a wedding there for a group of triplets who were musical triplets.
And I'm the musician myself.
And so there was that interesting musical connection.
And I found the Polish people to be just a wonderful, prideful people who cared deeply about their country and their culture.
In fact, I remember being on a bus as we were going, I believe, to Prague, and the music that I heard on the radio was not American music at all.
And I thought, I wonder why they don't have American music playing.
And my understanding is because they want to keep Poland Poland.
They want it to keep it Polish.
They don't want to be overly Americanized, which I actually respected as a musician.
So a wonderful place with wonderful, wonderful people.
And I want to use this as a backdrop to set up Jack's reporting from Poland today.
Let's take a look at this.
Folks, we're here in Warsaw, Poland.
And today, of course, the inauguration of the president of Poland's new president, Karol Novrodski, and an incredible day in a remarkable place.
And a lot of people might ask, they say, Poso, why are you going to Poland?
Why are you going there?
Why you cover this?
You know, is this really the most important thing going on today?
And I say, yes, it is.
And I'll explain why.
It's important because not only to me, because obviously I'm Polish, a little bit biased on that, but what you have in Poland is a place where all of these things that we talk about every day in the United States, the things that we fight for, the things that we're searching for, the things that we're struggling for, faith, freedom, a culture, an identity, a heritage.
These are all things that have been on the ballot in Poland and all things that are currently being fought for in Poland.
The globalists don't want a country like this existing because Poland was able to achieve its level of economic success and is one of the most successful GDPs in the European Union right now without mass migration, without open borders, without switching to liberal policies, globalist policies, woke policies.
They haven't done any of it.
What have they done?
They've embraced their culture.
They've embraced their heritage.
They've embraced their religion.
And now today have elected and inaugurated a president who stands for all those things very strongly.
A staunch anti-communist, a staunch historian who remembers World War II and the communist occupation here in Poland.
And so when you look at all of these things and put it together, what do you have?
You have a high trust society, a high trust society that is well functioning, that is low crime, and where cities like the one that I'm in right now.
Compare Warsaw, which is the largest city in Poland.
Compare that to what's going on in Washington, D.C. right now.
You saw President Trump put this out, horrific attack on a former member of Doge and a member of the administration.
Those types of things just don't happen in Warsaw.
They really don't.
The idea of stranger attack, the idea of people having to defend a woman at night doesn't exist here.
What you do have are people who generally get along well with each other and generally have that level of trust with one another.
You see families going around.
You see young people being out all times of night, going out, having fun in the night life.
And Warsaw is a big working city as well.
So it's a city where you have a lot of economic activity going on, a lot of actions coming in.
And of course, because of that, particularly in the tech sector, they have a lot of jobs.
And those jobs are attracting more and more people from around the country into Warsaw.
And that's fueling the rise of the city.
But the city, as you look at it right now, all of this, all of this was rebuilt after World War II.
The Germans destroyed every single one of these buildings, all of them, after the Warsaw Uprising.
We just had the 81st anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising last week, August 1st, which is a huge commemoration.
And we're out here coming up on the Polish parliament in a minute.
But what people have to understand is that if Poland is successful, that means globalism is a failure.
If globalism is a failure, that means it can be defeated here.
It can be defeated in Hungary.
It can be defeated in the UK.
It can be defeated anywhere.
And if it can be defeated, then we're all finally going to be able to get our countries back.
Billions upon billions of dollars have been spent to try and destroy nations like this, countries like this, places where they put God first.
Not to mention, by the way, that the pro-life issue was front and center in this election.
And it's an issue where the new president of Poland has vowed to veto any legislation coming out of the parliament regarding opening up for abortions.
Poland currently has probably the strongest and strictest abortion law on the entire European continent.
And for the Poles, this is very serious.
Any abortion in Poland kills a Polish child, ends the life of a Polish child, stops the beating heart of a Polish child.
And so for the people of Poland who have been through so much, this is something they take very, very seriously.
Now, the Liberals currently have control of the parliament, but the Conservatives are working hard to push against that, shut down those open borders, and of course, as I was saying before, work to establish full conservative governance and block any of the liberal policies that are currently coming in in Poland.
This is June.
So again, public transportation you see all over.
This is the Polish parliament over here.
Tanya Tay right there, of course.
Cutting over my shot.
But we wanted to go say hi to somebody.
Well, I wanted to go say hi to somebody while I was here.
Here's folks, you have, of course, right outside the Polish parliament, Ronald Reagan.
So a great statue of Ronald Reagan, and that's the Polish parliament right at the end of the street right here.
That's how much Ronald Reagan is supported and honored in Poland, that they have a statue directly of him right in front of their parliament building.
Poland understands that Reagan was a fighter against communism.
That's how he's viewed here.
And Poland understands that the fight against communism is a fight for all of our countries, a fight for all of our nations.
If you can stop communism, like Poland did, throwing it off 1989 with the solidarity movement, which led to the fall of the Berlin Wall years later, led to the fall of the Soviet Union 1991, the independence of all the Warsaw Pact countries.
Yes, I'm in Warsaw, the city of the Warsaw Pact, as it were.
It was defeated once, not even that long ago, within living memory.
And it can be defeated again because the globalism of today is the new communism.
Globalism is the new communism.
And people have to absolutely understand that.
So that's why we're here.
That's why we're in Poland.
That's why we're talking about how you can have, and by the way, it's so clean.
And this isn't just because they had the inauguration today.
It is like this every single day.
My mom, one of the things that she mentioned one of the first times that we had visited Poland years ago was that, so my mom is really, really anti-litter.
If there's any political issue that I think that Laurie Pozzo would put first and foremost, it's litter.
She absolutely can't stand it.
She always carries a little, sort of a little bag with her so she can pick up litter anywhere she sees it.
The only thing is, when she came to Poland, specifically came to Warsaw, she couldn't find any.
Why?
That's what nationalism is: loving your country so much that you keep the streets clean, that you keep rubbish off, that you keep it all off.
That's what it means to really love your country.
That's what it really means.
And it starts at the lowest level.
This is like Rudy Giuliani and his ability to have the broken windows policy.
What did broken windows mean?
That meant you even go after the little crimes.
All right, I wanted to leave with this.
This is a monument I mentioned before about the Warsaw Uprising.
81st anniversary just took place.
And you can see the wreaths, the flowers, the ribbons, and the symbol of the Warsaw Uprising right here.
This was the people of Warsaw rising up in 1944 to fight against the occupiers, fight against the Nazis that were occupying these very streets that we're in right now.
This is right outside.
That's a Polish parliament right behind me.
People who are still alive today lost their grandparents in that and in the subsequent bombing of Warsaw.
85% of the city, 85% of the buildings you see all around you were destroyed in World War II.
And then the communists occupied the country after that.
Poland is a group of people who understand freedom because they understand deliberate what it means.
Toluza.
Jack Solig, live in Warsaw.
Well, you heard it from the man himself from Pozo.
It's important because the things that we fight for right here in America, borders, language, culture, identity, heritage, they're on the ballot in Poland.
Polish people have embraced culture and heritage.
And if Poland is successful, as Jack said, it's a knife to globalism.
Jack is there because he's fighting the battle for MAGA in the States and worldwide.
We're going to hear from Jack later in the show in just a bit regarding Russia and Ukraine.
We'll be right back with more Human Events.
They talk about influences.
These are influences.
And they're friends of mine.
Jack Posovic.
Where's Jack?
He's got a great job.
Oh, God.
Breaking news from Real America's Voice.
Man, we have some breaking news for you.
At least five soldiers were injured when a shooter opened fire Wednesday at Fort Stewart in Georgia.
The soldiers were shot in the 2nd Armored Brigade combat team area, according to a social media post from the U.S. Army.
They were treated on site and moved to Wynn Army Community Hospital.
Law enforcement was dispatched around 1056 a.m. and the suspected shooter was apprehended at 11.35 a.m.
We will have more on that story as it develops.
Well, welcome back to Human Events.
I'm Bo Davidson filling in for Jack Posovic today while he attends the inauguration of the Polish president Karl Nebrowski.
More from him in just a bit.
But now we turn our attention to the United States economy right now and how we are doing.
So we have our DC chief correspondent Brian Glenn from D.C. Brian, good afternoon to you.
Hey Bo, good afternoon.
Brian, let's first talk about this huge deal that Apple announced.
It's a $100 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing commitments.
What can you tell us about it?
It's amazing.
This is just another example how President Trump is bringing this manufacturing back to this country.
And with no doubt, Apple, the very phone that many of our viewers might have in their hand right now, this is a $100 billion investment in the U.S. over the next four years.
And so it's huge.
CEO Tim Cook is reported to be here a little bit later this afternoon that takes place at 4.30.
But if you want to look at the trade deals, between the tariffs, and now with this U.S. manufacturing coming back, the first six months, if you look at the U.S. economy and how we've brought jobs not only back to the U.S., but specifically in some of the Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania and like Michigan, Wisconsin, some of those manufacturing states, this is huge.
Just another development for President Trump as Tim Cook will join him in the Oval Office.
And this is $100 billion on top of, I believe, an investment that they already made.
So my question would be, does this make American manufacturing great again?
You mentioned the promise.
And what would that do to the cost of the iPhone, Brian, if they bring the manufacturing here, do you think?
Yeah, that's one of the biggest questions I heard people kind of rumbling earlier today was, is that going to raise the price of these iPhones, knowing that the labor here would presumably be more than what they'd be able to make it in other countries.
But I think if we look at the semiconductor tariffs and some of the prices on that and bring the manufacture for these semiconductors back to this country, ultimately, I do think those phone prices will come down.
But you might see in the short term remain the same, if not tick up a little bit more.
But it seems like the price of these iPhones in general, Bo, it seems every time you go to the T-Mobile, Verizon, ATT store, whatever you want to go about, these phones, they tend to go up every year anyway.
We just don't know if it's going to go up any more than they usually do.
They're mini computers is what they are, but there's so many components in these phones.
And if we can just get that manufacturing back here to the U.S., I think overall, it will be lower in the long term.
Well, and I think that brings up a good point because if we knew an American was assembling this, an American was making this and it created American jobs, I think we'd feel a lot better about the iPhone that's in our hand, knowing that we did now outsource that labor.
So that kind of touches on the theme of human events today, which is nationalism versus globalism.
So bringing manufacturing jobs back, which is what Trump promised to do, did he not?
I mean, this was a huge campaign promise.
He's delivering on it.
My question would be, and I don't know if you've heard this yet, and maybe he'll discuss it with Tim Cook: do we have a trained workforce that can handle that?
That's an excellent question.
That might be a question that I ask in the Oval Office when I go in at 4:30.
But this goes along with the whole trade situation of training people to be electricians, to be plumbers, to be pipe fitters, to be all of these blue-collar manufacturing jobs.
So, do we have the labor force to manufacture these phones?
It's an excellent question, Bo.
I can promise you I'm going to ask it a little bit later today.
But that opens up a huge job market for people that maybe traditionally didn't want to go the kind of manufacturing route.
We've had good paying jobs to put these phones together.
I think that's an excellent source of income and definitely opportunities for a lot of these young people coming up that want to get, you know, that necessarily college is not the option for them, but they can be trained to do this and make a good living at it.
What would be great, Brian?
And maybe they'll do it.
I mean, this is why I think it'd be a great question to ask: would be: would Apple incentivize training that workforce?
Because if they want to have the parts made in America, how great would it be if they could incentivize, just like ICE is doing right now in recruiting, $50,000 to join ICE and do your country a good service?
If you knew that you could have a specialized trade and there's an incentive to do it and a path, that's a path for a lot of people I think would take.
So I think that's probably a good thing.
That is a good thing.
I'll give you a quick example.
I know there's a huge battery plant in Georgia that came from South Korea, so they were able to get the plant to South to Georgia, but they don't have the people to work.
So they've had to literally bring in thousands of people from South Korea to work this plant that's in Georgia.
So if we can reverse engineer that and train people in the U.S. to do the jobs at Apple, at these battery plants, or whatever these companies come in, that's the way you keep the money here.
Because right now, it doesn't do any good if we open up these plants for Apple, but yet we have to import immigrants in to work those jobs because they're simply not trained here.
We do need to make sure that the jobs we create here are able to be done by the people who live here.
So maybe those incentives, you know, I saw some scholarship, I saw an ICE that they would maybe pay off some student loans.
That's an incentive.
And of course, these huge big signing bonuses as well.
I mean, that's just an idea.
Apple, as you know, is a very wealthy company, one of the biggest companies in the world.
I would think they would be able to come up with some type of incentive plan, but I do think it's very important.
If we're going to create these jobs here, let's make sure we employ Americans first.
Yeah, if they would pay for their trade school or somehow offset the cost, that would be a brilliant plan.
Well, Brian, we don't have too much time left, but I would like to also touch on some of these subpoenas coming out from Jamie Comer's office regarding Russia Gate and the deep state coup.
It seems like he has a timeline to talk to these people.
What do you know about that?
Yeah, there's a little bit of timeline.
I know some of the subpoenas that went out, those are set to make their way into D.C. towards the end of August, perhaps even September.
But I've also heard: hey, even though we got these subpoenas and we're going to bring them in for questioning, getting indictments is one thing, getting a conviction on some things or another.
And if you turn your attention to all of the Epstein information with Bill and Hillary Clinton coming in here as well, there's a lot to uncover there.
It's a lot to unpack with this investigation.
I've got some sources, some independent journalists that have really put a lot of time in this.
Look out for money laundering charges and the interest going towards Hillary and Bill Clinton.
That's some juicy stuff right there.
Well, Brian Glenn, thank you as always, my good friend.
Good to see you.
And we'll be right back with more human events in just two short minutes.
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 that be getting published.
And welcome back to Human Events.
As I mentioned earlier in the show, Poland is a really unique place, and Jack's there right now.
When I visited there, this little tiny town of Zhaga and I enjoyed many pints of the beer that's called Jiviets, which is a great beer, by the way.
If I'm in a store, I always try to pick it up if I can find it.
And the plum brandy, which is called Slivowica.
And as I had those great beverages while listening to Polish NATO troops singing Polish drinking songs in this small little town of Jagann, Poland, it was a very unique and authentic experience.
And what was unique about it, too, was sometimes I would hear bombs going off in the distance because they were NATO troops and they were doing live training exercises there.
And that was very unique because I didn't get the tourist experience like you might have in a place like Warsaw, which is, of course, a beautiful city, but it's just not the same experiences that I had.
And I like the fact that my experience was non-tourist.
But I didn't realize back then how close Poland is to Russia.
But now, with the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it becomes all the more prescient.
And if this war escalates, those men, those same men that I had a pint with years ago, they could be dead if things don't go the right way.
Ukraine doesn't have any soldiers left.
They got no more fight to fight.
So this could be the Polish people's fight.
It could be the Polish soldiers' fight.
It's easy to drink a pint, not so easy to fight the Russians.
We voted for President Trump for peace, not war.
And I want to use that as a backdrop to set up Jack's clip right now where he'll be discussing the conflict in Russia and Ukraine.
Let's take a look at that.
All right, Jack Pasovic, we are back here, Warsaw, Poland, just leaving the Polish parliament here.
Inauguration held earlier today for the new president, Karl Nabrodsky.
And one of the key issues facing all of the world as pertains to Poland is, of course, not something that's happening in Poland, but something that's happening next door to Poland.
Because, of course, Poland shares a sizable border with Ukraine.
And the Ukraine war, this deadline, President Trump has established this Friday as the deadline for what he hopes to be a ceasefire that he's seeking between Ukraine and Russia.
Why is Poland so significant?
Not only, of course, does Poland maintain that border, but Poland is the logistics hub for something like 95% of all of the military supplies that are heading to Ukraine are all coming through Poland, particularly in places in the south like Zhezhov.
So a key element Of the war effort is keeping those supply lines open for all of the NATO equipment, which is coming through Poland.
And this has been an issue, and it was an issue in the presidential election.
Why?
Because Karl Novrodsky, when he was campaigning, he brought up a number of things that the Ukrainians and Zelensky would rather not be talked about.
What did he talk about?
Well, he talked about the fact that there is corruption currently in Ukraine.
We're seeing that across the board now.
Everyone's reporting it.
And what did they say?
They said that because of this corruption, that it would be very hard for Poland or Novrodsky to support Ukraine entering the European Union.
He also said that he would not support Ukraine in NATO.
Of course, it doesn't make any sense for Ukraine to be in NATO when Ukraine is currently at war with Russia.
This would bring Russia under Article 5 into a direct military conflict with all of NATO.
You would trigger Article 5 and all of the NATO nations would be required to respond.
Can't have that.
So the new president of Poland brought all of this up while on the campaign trail, went on to win the election, and the hearts and minds of tens of thousands of people who marched throughout the streets here earlier today.
And by the way, you can see how you can see how clean these streets are.
There were tens of thousands of people here earlier today marching outside the parliament.
The same, you can't see a thing on the street, not a speck of trash.
The other significant target for the Ukraine-Poland relationship, of course, is the level of migrants that Poland has accepted from Ukraine.
Two million, give or take, have been accepted since the start of the war all the way back in 2014 when it kicked off in the Donbass region, have been accepted by Poland.
And this has created a huge pressure on the Polish labor market, because even though I mentioned in my earlier monologue in that report, I was talking about how Poland has this huge job boom.
It does, but many, many, many service jobs are being taken by Ukrainians.
Many jobs that are particularly low-skilled, Uber drivers, DoorDash, that type of thing.
A lot of that is being taken by Ukrainian migrants.
And this has created an issue for the native Polish, many the same way it does in other countries, not in terms of a compatibility issue, but certainly in terms of the economic effects of simply accepting that many people.
It puts downward pressure on wages, downward pressure on job growth and job on employment, access, downward pressure, of course, on all sorts of things, the healthcare system, housing, all the rest of it.
So these are all issues that have come into play when looking at the Ukraine situation, not to mention inflation, because the war has created a significant inflation because of the cutoff of all of the energy from Russia, really to the rest of Western Europe.
And so Poland is now embarking on deals for LNG with the United States.
However, because that is more expensive, that increased price, when you praise your energy goes up, the price of everything goes up because that's an input that's required to go into literally every product and service that you have.
So what does that mean?
That means inflation has become an issue as well.
People are getting tired.
People are getting tired of the situation.
And of course, they can look to Ukraine and they can see the battlefield.
Now, this doesn't mean, by the way, that Poland has any love lost for Russia.
They don't.
You're not going to find any of that here.
But what you will hear, and you can see signs of this, even just outside the parliament where we were, there were signs up that say, not our war, not our war.
That is something that we're hearing three and a half years in that you would not have heard just a few days or a few weeks into it.
And certainly there are lots of Polish volunteers that have gone over to volunteer in the fighting, volunteer on the Ukrainian side.
However, the average Polish people are showing those signs of fatigue, showing signs of war fatigue, showing signs that their willingness to continue to support all of this is starting to come to an end.
And certainly when you look at the battlefield, when you look at the lines, Prokrovsk being taken by the Russians, Chasivyar being taken as well, the fortress cities of Donbass and that region now falling under direct threat of the Russian advance.
There are real questions about what will come down as a result of all of this.
President Trump, of course, knows this as well.
He gets the intelligence far more directly than anyone.
And what he's looking at, I believe, and I've said for a number of times, one assessment that I have is that this 10 days or 50 days, which turned to 10 days, it's all about Ukraine.
And it's all about whether or not Ukraine will collapse.
But if Ukraine ends up collapsing, their front lines go down, as well as the political situation that we've seen deteriorating, the protests against Zelensky doing away with the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
There are serious questions as to whether or not Ukraine's government will see a collapse, as well as the front lines have seen the situation, Russian forces coming in.
And we've been reporting with Tony Schaefer and others here on the program how the Russians are cutting the supply lines to Ukraine.
So just showing some scenes of Poland where, of course, you wouldn't realize that there's this massive war taking place not far, just a few hours away from where we stand right now as we're recording all of this.
Life continues as usual in Poland.
And yet we know that not far away, there is a massive war waging.
Question is, will President Trump be able to see it to its fruition?
Likely, it will require, as we've seen, meeting between Witkoff and Putin.
It's going to require those direct negotiations, those direct links.
What came out of that meeting, well, we're told that Witkoff and Putin met for about three hours.
And during those three hours, what's interesting is we haven't gotten a full readout yet from the Russian side or from the U.S. side.
The Russian media has said that they received signals from one side to another.
So the Russians read the signals and received the signals from the Americans.
The Americans received the sent signals, which were also received by the Russians.
Okay, we've got our signals, but what signals were they?
What do they mean?
And will this be to an deal or perhaps even meeting between President Trump and President Putin?
All of which remains to be seen.
But I think a lot of people are pointing to this meeting as a chance for peace and a chance for an overall lasting, not alliance, but an overall lasting agreement between the U.S. and Russia that incorporates the security of NATO and security of Ukraine as well.
This is Jack Pisovic here, Warsaw Poland.
And as Jack said, the deadline is Friday.
And Trump increased India's tariffs to 50%.
So the heat is on Vladimir Putin.
Now, the easy way is a good deal.
The hard way, well, it's when we have to tariff you.
We voted for President Trump for peace, not war, so we hope that he's able to continue that policy and pressure Putin.
Human events will be right back in just a few short minutes.
Jack is a great guy.
He's written a fantastic book.
Everybody's talking about it.
Go get it.
And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
And we're going to turn it around and make our country right again.
Welcome back to Human Events.
I'm Bo Davidson in for Jack Pisobic, who is in Poland.
And we actually have some great footage of Jack and Tanya in Poland, which we want to show you right now.
Tanya has some great comments about what this Polish election means to the patriots of Poland, and they are indeed patriots.
Let's take a look at this.
Talk to me a little bit about why it's such a big deal that people are standing up for their country and putting that over this idea of globalism and no borders and anyone can be a global citizen and all this.
I think our first and foremost system is failing.
And we see many examples like the failed global economies and Germany, Switzerland, France.
And here in Poland, we see people standing up and embracing their national identity.
Well, and you know, one specific thing that I would mention that Navrotsky even said in his inaugural speech today that the Euro will never come to Poland.
So Poland, as you can explain that a little bit, Poland does not have the Euro even though they're in the EU.
And what it does, it strengthens their national economy.
It makes them less dependent on the EU banks.
And this in turn hunts them to spend their crown and say no to the EU global mission.
Right, so if you've controlled your own currency, then you have control of your own currency market.
Oh yeah, some great thoughts from Jack and Tanya there.
You know, make Poland great again.
Poland is indeed, it's a great place, and it is a microcosm of what we fight for right here in America.
That's borders, language, culture, heritage, peace through strength, less endless wars, more human prosperity.
And as we come to a close today, I want to mention that we are still in a psychological war right here in the United States.
And we fight the DNA of violence every single day.
When we look at this 19-year-old Doge staffer, his name is Edward Koristine, getting beaten in Logan's Circle in D.C. while merely trying to help a woman, it's a reminder of what's at stake in America, the battle of good versus evil, and the DNA of violence.
I'm from Memphis, Tennessee.
You guys may not know that, but that's where I'm from.
And I hate to say it, but it's a very violent place as well.
Every single night at home, where my mom lives, the local news reports a new homicide.
It's usually drug or gang-related.
And sadly, the local government remains largely the same.
And that's true for D.C., a largely Democrat-run district helmed by Mayor Muriel Bowser.
Now, Elon Musk has been at odds with President Trump lately over the big beautiful bill.
You've heard about that.
But recently, he sided with the president when Trump threatened to federalize D.C. after Edward Koristine was beaten.
You have a dozen men attacking a woman, and a young Doge staffer comes in to help her and sustains a concussion.
Now, let's go back to Trump's post on this situation.
Here's what he said.
Crime in Washington, D.C. is totally out of control.
He talks about the local youths, quote, and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16 years old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released.
They're not afraid of law enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it's going to happen now.
The law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these, quote, minors as adults and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14.
The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs.
Washington, D.C. must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans, and most importantly, for all Americans, for the world to see.
If D.C. doesn't get its act together and quickly, we will have no choice but to take federal control of the city and run this city how it should be run and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore.
Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago.
And then this incredible young man and so many others would not have to go through the horrors of violent crime.
If this continues, I'm going to exert my powers and federalize this city, make America great again.
So, folks, you see, this is an example of what I call the DNA of violence.
It's the ethos of violence.
And it starts young, 14, 15, 16 years old.
There has to be some consequence for the crime.
And I'm looking at you, Mayor Bowser.
It comes down to you.
There has to be accountability.
You have to do something about it.
And in a related story about the DNA of violence, it doesn't have to be physical violence.
It can be political violence or ideological violence or what we could call cultural violence.
Look at Sidney Sweeney.
I'm sure by now most of you know about the controversy surrounding the actress Sidney Sweeney and her American Eagle Jeans ad.
Well, it's only controversial because some lovely internet sleuths out there found Sweeney as a registered Republican, which then Donald Trump went on, of course, to praise.
Now, that adulation alone was enough to associate Sweeney with white supremacy.
But it wasn't just that.
Salon, that wonderful liberal outlet out there, said that having great genes, G-E-N-E-a pun on the word for genetics, has connotations with whiteness, thinness, and attractiveness, as if all three of those things are de facto, terrible things.
Now, the company American Eagle did defend Sweeney, and they stated this, quote, Sidney Sweeney has great genes, is and always was about the jeans, her genes, her story.
We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence their way.
But the company removed the ad from their social media accounts, which isn't that like having it both ways.
You defend her, but then you take it off your social media pages?
Seems like mixed messaging to me.
Now, comedian Michael Rappaport defended Sweeney, saying, people love bullying celebrities, especially female celebrities.
Who cares who she voted for?
Who cares who she's registered to vote for?
Who cares who anybody is registered to vote for?
Get a life.
You want to run her into the ground.
You want to build these people up and then run them into the ground.
Leave Sidney Sweeney the F alone.
And I agree with Michael Rappaport.
I think we have entered the age of political outrage porn.
It's its own brand of ideological violence or cultural violence.
And by that, I mean, cancel culture is nothing new, folks.
Let's be honest with that.
But now the punishment goes far beyond that.
It's punishing people for literally doing nothing wrong for merely having an opinion and not even having a vocal opinion.
Sidney Sweeney is a registered Republican.
She did not speak at the RNC.
So these people, they go online to find something about Sweeney they don't like because frankly they are, well, they're not as attractive as her or never could they get her attention.
And they try to use that to take her down.
Why?
Because she's in a jeans ad with a fun play on the word jeans?
Because she has great genes?
Since when did Bad Jean sell jeans?
Beyonce is currently in a Levi's campaign called The Denim Cowboy.
Okay, so we can agree that Beyonce has great genes too, right?
Oh, but wait.
Beyonce had a song for Kamala Harris's campaign.
She had a song called Freedom.
Granted, she did not perform at the Democratic National Convention, as was hinted.
I mean, who would want that gig if Kamala were the nominee?
But because Beyonce is black, or half black for those who are counting, and supports Democrats, her genes are okay.
But Sidney Sweeney's are not.
American Eagle is racist and Nazi, but Levi's is not.
And this is the paradox that we are living in.
And this all comes back to what Michael Raffaport said about the type of person tearing Sweeney down.
These are low-life people with nothing better to do.
But sadly, outraged porn is clickbait.
It has a feeding trough.
The pigs feed here.
When Sweeney attended the premiere of her movie Americana, a heckler yelled out, stop the ad, that's being racist.
You see?
Someone took the time to go to her premiere so that they could yell this very false and pathetic slur at her.
And what is the end game?
Stop the ad?
Kill American Eagle?
Kill her movies?
Get her to stop acting?
Get her to repent of her whiteness, thinness, and attractiveness?
I truly think that racial politics in-game is one of total repentance, contrition, and a recalibration of the color scales, which is exactly what makes it racist.
To have some sort of hierarchy of what colors are good and bad.
So if you can somehow slander a person with the dreaded R word, then you can cancel them.
Who would have thought that a genes ad could do that?
It's the people with bad genes, G-E-N-E-S, who are doing all the heckling.
And no, I don't mean in terms of how aesthetically they look.
I mean that the genes that got passed down to their brains are severely lacking.
So there is a DNA of violence we are talking about, a DNA of violence.
It happens in the streets of DC.
It happens with what's happening with Sidney Sweeney and American Eagle.
It's happening everywhere.
And we've got to put an end to it.
And my solution to that is number one, consequences like these ICE agents did renting the Pinsky trucks.
But also, better parenting, better mentoring, seeing someone that's hurting, and counseling that person.
It's starting early, folks, 13, 14, 15 years old, and that's got to stop.
Now, Human Events will be back tomorrow.
We have a lot more to come.
So make sure you stay tuned in tomorrow, same time, same place.
