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 Posovic.
Christ is king.
We know charges have not yet officially been brought against 32-year-old Nick Reiner.
We know that this morning, Nick is expected to appear in court here downtown as early as this morning.
We're still waiting for those official charges, which should come as early as this morning.
I'm Rob Reiner, and America, we've got a problem.
We've been attacked by a foreign enemy power, and our president refuses to defend us.
He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.
He said he knew it was false.
In fact, it's the exact opposite that I was a friend of Russia controlled by Russia.
You know, it was the Russia hooks.
He was one of the people behind it.
I think he hurt himself in career-wise.
He became like a deranged person, Trump derangement syndrome.
So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all.
The House is expected to vote this week on a Republican-led healthcare bill.
Yesterday, President Trump was asked what he wants to see happen.
I want all money going to the people and let the people buy their own health care.
Secretaries Hegseth and Rubio were set to come here to Capitol Hill to answer lawmakers' questions about this mounting series of strikes on alleged drug boats.
The Pentagon overnight releasing this new video showing that it hit three more, leaving at least eight people dead in the Eastern Pacific, bringing the total number of these strikes since September on what the administration alleges are drug smuggling vessels to at least 25.
Police now have released new images of this person, the individual they believe to be connected to the shooting.
You can see them right here.
These are three pieces of new video.
They're asking for the public's help here in this new video, which is clearer than the images we had seen.
Officials are pointing to the fact that this individual they believe is about five feet eight inches tall.
They identify him.
The FBI is calling him stocky.
You can see the jacket there, two-tone jacket, maybe a little bit of green, and clearly the man is masked.
Hi, Jack Pesobic.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
We are here on Real America's Voice.
Today is December 16th, 2025, Anno Domini.
But I got a problem.
I got a problem with today's date, and let me tell you why.
Because there's currently a mass shooter on the loose who killed two people at Brown University, and we have no idea what's going on.
One of which was the vice president of the college Republicans, a beautiful, young, conservative female, gone, shot in the head, dead, right before Christmas.
Ella Cook is not going be home with her family this Christmas.
She's not going back to Alabama with mom and dad.
No.
And why not?
Because she was shot and killed in a targeted killing.
People keep saying, oh, it's not target.
It's not target.
It's not target.
You can't say that, Jack.
You can't say that.
Explain this to me.
How did this guy go from the street walking around, walking around, hands behind his back, lollygagging around to a specific room, to a specific floor, to a specific door, opens it up, locks eyes with the teaching assistant.
The guy is all over media, right?
Media loves him now.
Locks eyes with the teaching assistant.
Which all the teaching assistants are all locked eyes to them.
I locked eyes.
Did you do anything?
Did you lunge for him?
Did you try to get the gun?
Did you try to stop him?
Did you try to do anything?
No.
No, he ducked down.
He ducked down.
Heard the shooter say something.
And then boom, in the blink of an eye, Ella Cook is dead.
And then her friend is dead.
Nine more students get shot up.
And this guy just walks out of there.
It has been three days.
Three days too long.
And conservative media has like completely forgotten about this.
Shout out to Steve Baden because he's talked about it.
But conservative media, when a college Republican gets shot in the head and killed right before Christmas, I don't know where everybody is.
I don't get it.
But you're just walking around saying, oh, well, that's too bad.
Let's go look at a Rob Reiner tweet.
Let's go look at President Trump.
We're going to conservative media cares more about denouncing Trump or concern trolling Trump over a Rob Reiner tweet than they do about the life of Ella Cook.
And how do I know this?
Because that's what you spent all day talking about yesterday.
You spent all day talking about this.
They're terrified.
They're terrified to actually confront the left.
That's why the conservatives don't, conservative media and conservative, so many elected officials, not all, but so many in Congress.
They don't talk about Tyler Robinson.
They don't talk about the Steve Scaleese shooting.
They don't talk about leftist violence.
No, they're terrified.
They're scared.
They're cowards.
You're a coward.
If you refuse to talk about these things, you're a coward.
You get up there, you talk about anything else under the sun.
Oh, Tyler Robinson.
No, no, no, no, we can't talk about that.
Ella Cook, no, Kansa.
You are a coward.
Where is everything?
And I went on warm this morning.
I said, I'll say it again.
It's time to go full Frank Rizzo.
You need to go full Frank Rizzo on every single subversive group on that campus.
Brown University, which is a hotbed, a hotbed of these far-left groups.
Now, I'm not saying that's exactly we know who did it, but guess what?
You got to start somewhere.
Somebody knows something.
Somebody knows something and they're not talking.
Let me tell you something else.
I think the university knows something.
I think the administration knows something.
How do you get into the room?
How do you get in the room?
Is that door open or did he have a key card?
And if he had a key card, could he perhaps have, I don't know, and I'm just, I'm just asking questions.
Could he possibly have some tie to the university?
Something they don't want people knowing?
We need answers and we're not getting anything.
Where's the FBI?
Where's the FBI?
They should be giving interviews and press conferences every hour on the hour until he's caught.
We'll be right back.
In our way, in our golden age has just begun.

I want to bring on now Libby Emmons, the editor-in-chief of the Postmillennial and Human Events.
And Libby, I'm sorry, what are we even doing here?
What are we even doing here?
It has been 72.
So in two hours' time, in two hours' time, it's now 2 p.m. Eastern on the East Coast of the Republic.
In two hours' time, it will have been three full days since the murder of Ella Cook.
What are we even doing here?
Yeah, so far, as you say, it has been just about three days.
And so far, it looks like there aren't really any leads, which is kind of shocking.
We know, of course, they had a person of interest in custody, then they let them go.
And they just keep the FBI and local police just keep releasing these same grainy images of the suspect over and over again.
You can't see his face.
You can barely see anything about him.
They just released another one just a few minutes ago that shows him sort of the front side of him.
The best that you can really hope for here is that someone will recognize the way that he's walking or perhaps his jacket.
But he's wearing a mask.
He's fully covered.
It's cold up in Rhode Island.
So, you know, everyone's bundled up.
And there he is.
What's going on?
Why don't they tell us anything?
On Sunday, when they gave us a press conference, they said that authorities said that they would continue to keep us updated no matter what, even if they had no new information to provide.
And so far, what we've got are what, like daily press conferences without anything new going on?
Either they have absolutely no leads and no suspect and no understanding of what's going on, or they're hiding stuff from the public.
It's got to be one or the other of those two things.
Now, Libby, this, and unfortunately, we are forced to ask questions because we are not getting any answers or any details from either the FBI or the university here.
But I'm just going to say the fact of the matter remains is that we see this TA.
He's up on CNN.
He's out there.
And look, look.
I don't mean to be critical of someone who survived a mass shooting.
All right.
I really don't.
But let's just say this.
We know that he says, he claims that he locked eyes with the shooter.
If someone is a TA, typically they're going to be in a position where they're either standing or they could be sitting in a circle and he's got a certain air of prominence where people are looking at him as he's teaching the class.
Says he locked eyes with the shooter and the shooter didn't shoot him.
So he did survive and he made that choice and yet he did kill Ella Cook.
That to me says perhaps there's a good chance that she was in fact targeted.
Yeah, that's something that Mark Helperin came out with as well.
He was saying that he had heard from the family of Ella Kirk that she was specifically targeted for this killing, which is really shocking if that's true that someone would go out of their way to murder a college student, the vice president, I believe, of the Young Republicans on campus.
And you start to wonder, is this another politically motivated killing that we've been seeing?
And of course, after the shooting, Reddit had to turn off their brown board.
They had to disable it because there were too many people going on to that site to celebrate her murder.
It was pro-Palestinian style students that were going onto that site to celebrate that she had been killed.
I don't know Ella Kirk.
I don't know her family.
My heart goes out to them.
Anytime you send your child off to make their way in the world to get an education, the last thing you expect is that they're going to come home in a body bag for something like this.
And I think that we really need to find out if that was true because certainly if Miss Cook was targeted specifically, that should give a much better indication as to who the suspect was.
There can't be that many people who look like the shape of the silhouette of this guy who have out for her who are out for her blood.
Look, and I'm sorry, like Libby and maybe you probably know exactly who I'm talking about or what I mean when I say this.
It's time to go Frank Rizzo.
It's time to go full Frank Rizzo.
All right, it's 72 hours.
You got to shake the box a little bit here.
You got to start smashing up all of these groups on campus, all the subversive groups, the leftist groups, and say, you know what?
We're going to ask around, have you seen this guy?
Who is this guy?
What does he look like?
Do you know anybody?
Where were you?
Hey, you kind of look like this guy.
Where were you on Saturday at four o'clock?
Do you have an alibi?
Again, you have to actually be willing to take this investigation and do it seriously.
We don't hear anyone doing that.
And oh, by the way, they can't even do it because they let the kids go home already.
Yeah, isn't that shocking as well?
Yesterday, Brown University put out a statement asking anyone who had been a witness who was in that building on those days to come forward and speak to authorities about what they had seen.
But they've already closed the campus.
They've campused, they've canceled finals, they canceled classes, and they've sent everyone home.
So it's certainly possible that they already sent the shooter home.
It's been a few days.
Rhode Island is a very small state.
It's very easy to get in and out of that state.
He could be out the door already.
He could be in another country.
We have no idea.
And the school and the police and the FBI clearly haven't done enough to lock that area down so that they could really find who they were looking for.
They lifted the shelter in place a few, you know, what, Sunday morning after it had been put into place on Saturday afternoon.
People were just allowed to go back to their dorm rooms.
Every single person on that campus should have been made to stay in place until they figured out who was not where they're supposed to be and figure out what's going on there.
It's really shocking, in fact, and I'm starting to worry that they may never find this shooter, that this person is going to get off scot-free, which leaves, of course, the door open for more copycat cases just like this to go on across the country.
If you don't like somebody from their political views on your campus, well, by all means, you know, take a page out of this guy's book, apparently, and you're just gonna, you're just gonna get off with nothing.
It's shocking.
And Libby, I'm just gonna say, you know, you've got, I hate to say it, but you've got a son who's getting towards college age.
As a mom, how does this make you feel that this is what could happen given that some horrible thing like this could occur?
It's pretty terrible.
The fact of the matter is that if you're the parent of a high school student these days, you've already had your kid go through lockdown drills for years at this point.
There's been lockdown drills since he was in middle school in Brooklyn, and there were NYPD stationed at his school.
There were NYPD stationed at all the schools because in New York, you know, you got to be really careful.
The rest of the country, they're like, oh, you're hardening our schools.
For me, last year when we had the opportunity where we live now to vote in if there should be resource officers at the school, I was like, yeah, put some armed people at the school.
So we've seen this for years.
Kids are in danger at their places of education.
And the tragedy, too, is that the education they're getting is pretty in the toilet already.
So now you're sending your kids off to get a subpart education and they might be massacred by crazy people.
And now this is happening at colleges as well.
And you start to wonder what is the point of these institutions when they have already been discredited academically.
They've been discredited for the excessive diversity discrimination that they have put into place, for the woke indoctrination that they're doing.
And now they can't even keep kids safe in a lecture hall when they're studying for an econ exam.
I don't know what use Brown University is.
It had all of these Gaza camp protests already, just like so many of the other Ivy League schools.
It's getting money from the federal government.
It's got a massive endowment, yet for some reason they've only offered a $50,000 reward for information on this.
Offer a million.
Offer whatever it takes.
They've got the money.
They should cough it up and find Ella Cook's killer.
And there was another student as well.
And we haven't heard as much about him.
But the man who is also killed deserves justice for his death.
It's not right.
These schools should be holding themselves responsible for this kind of thing.
No, that's exactly right.
And of course, the name of Muhammad is ease.
And the idea is, it's very simple and it's very horrifying: that we have these systems in place that we tell ourselves are going to make us safe, are going to be safe.
Oh, that sort of thing doesn't happen here.
And I'm sure, by the way, that Brown University has more than its share of fully funded DEI departments and pride departments and pride speeches and pride this and that and all of you know critical race theory departments and all the rest of it.
But the question that I have is how much time did you put into your security?
How much time did you focus and did you focus on the people who are at your campus, particularly these groups who are becoming more and more violent and more and more agitators on campus?
And when it comes down to it, your streets can be safe if the people on them are not dangerous.
It's as simple as that, folks.
Be right back.
Jack Posobic, Limmy Emmons, Human Events Daily, continues here on Real America's Voice.
The search for Ella Cook's murderer, unfortunately, continues.
These are influences.
And they're friends of mine.
Jack Pisovic.
Where's Jack?
Jack.
He's got a great job.
All right, Jack Pisovic, we're back here, Human Events Daily.
Want to welcome back to the program here, Senator Bernie Moreno of the great state of Ohio.
Senator Moreno, how are you?
I'm doing great.
Thanks for having me on your show.
Well, I appreciate you having us on, but unfortunately, the topic we were just talking about here is this horrific shooting up of a Brown University, Ella Cook, who we're told is the, or was the vice president of the College Republicans there.
And the fact that it's now been almost 72 hours with no killer found, her murderer still at large.
This is something where, unfortunately, Senator, we are seeing the rise.
And I know we can't specifically call this politically targeted yet because we don't quite know exactly what happened, but we certainly are seeing the rise of violence on campus.
Yeah, look, honestly, I'm shocked that the university wasn't better prepared.
My oldest son actually went to school in Brown.
I can't believe that they didn't have more cameras, that there wasn't more surveillance going on given what's happening in college campuses, especially with anti-Semitism and the rise of these pro-Palestinian protests.
So I think the university certainly has to take a look at why they didn't have those resources ready at the go.
This is a university that costs obscene amounts of money and gets lots of federal funding.
So I'm really curious to see what their plan is to make certain that something like this can never happen again.
Well, I think that's exactly right.
And unfortunately, you know, here we are.
It's almost three months from another event of violence on a campus, and that was the murder of Charlie Kirk, someone who I know had endorsed you and had backed you and worked with you during your campaign, someone, of course, who was a friend to all of us.
And it has to be said that these shootings on campus unfortunately seem to be continuing.
Yeah, but look, we have to get to the bottom of what's going on with our young people in this country.
Obviously, they feel disaffected.
The propaganda machine that they've been subjected to by the left is obviously taking root.
These are college professors that aren't teaching them critical skills.
They're teaching them to hate this country.
They're teaching them a twisted form of history.
And thanks to Joe Biden and Democrats, they've made basic American life unaffordable.
So they don't feel like there's hope for them.
And that's obviously affecting them.
The COVID policies that were insane during the Biden era as well, shutting down schools, remote learning, things like that, all has taken its toll.
And really have to refocus our resources and make certain that we give our young people hope in this country.
I think that's right.
And Senator, I wanted to also ask one piece that's in the news right now.
Your friend and colleague JD Vance, the vice president, has been out there speaking about it.
This New York Times piece regarding chief of staff Susie Wiles over at the White House, she's come out and said that she views it as a hit piece.
Piece is taken out of context.
Vice President Vance has come out and said that he thinks that he has a good relationship with her.
What's the relationship been with Susie Wiles, the chief of staff, and the U.S. Senate?
Look, she's incredibly well respected.
When she comes into the Senate lunches, she basically gets almost any evasion.
People know that she's a rock.
She's incredibly loyal to the president when others, by the way, were extremely disloyal.
She's run the White House very, very well.
Look, Vanity Fair is a division of a company called Advanced Publications.
They own the Cleveland Plain Dealer in Ohio.
It is a rat's nest of liberal, radical ideology.
These are not journalists.
Actually, I had to look that up today, Jack.
To be honest with you, I didn't realize Vanity Fair was still in business, and there's people who actually still read that crap.
It is a total hit piece.
And look, Susie's an amazing person, the most powerful woman on earth, probably, and the best chief of staff of my lifetime, of any president that I can think of.
And she deserves nothing but our respect.
And I certainly have always heard that reputation from her anywhere that I've been, whether the vice president's around, whether the president's around.
I just don't hear these characterizations of her from anyone, really, that comport with this Vanity Fair piece.
No, look, she's somebody who's just a block and tackler.
She knows exactly what to do.
When the Rose Garden Club was first opened, she sat at our table.
She's very warm.
She's very kind.
She asks about my wife.
She knows my kids.
She's somebody who just builds relationships.
She lets President Trump be President Trump.
And again, just extraordinarily effective.
Look what the administration has done, Jack, just this year.
What President Trump has accomplished from January 20th till now, basically 11 months, has never been done in the history of this country.
Totally secured our border.
He's reset the entire trading relationships in this country.
He's unleashed American energy.
He's brought down gas prices.
He's brought down egg prices.
We passed the Working Families Tax Cut Bill that's going to put a lot of money in the hands of working Americans, get rid of this EV mandate, these EV incentives that were actually crushing the auto industry.
All that in 11 months.
You can't do that unless you have a chief of staff that's extremely effective.
And that's exactly who Susie Wiles is.
And Senator Reno, just in the last few minutes that I have you, one of the other big pieces the administration has been touting lately is in the past year, this first year that they've been back in office, is their accomplishments on immigration.
Well, look, Jack, when I campaigned a year ago, if I had said to any audience that we were going to have zero border crossings per month for seven months in a row, my team probably would have said, hey, you got to dial it back a little bit.
That's too much hyperbole.
And that's exactly what's happened.
We haven't passed a single new law in Congress to get a secure border.
All we did is we changed presidents.
And what that means, Jack, is that what Biden and the Democrats did, enabled the largest invasion of this country by a group of millions of illegal migrants, was completely intentional.
And it was about destroying the fabric of this country.
They would have succeeded if not for the election of last November.
Well, I think it's exactly right.
And clearly, this is an issue that has not only galvanized the American people, galvanized the voters, but certainly I'm sure you hear it quite a bit when you're at home in Ohio because I know I hear it all over Pennsylvania.
Yeah, look, it's bringing down housing prices, it's bringing down rents, it's bringing down insurance costs, it's bringing down the cost eventually of health care.
You know, you brought in 12, 10, 12, 13, 14 million people into this country.
They took our housing market and put it into shambles.
They've almost kneecapped our entire health care system, our social safety net system.
Do you remember those luxury hotel rooms in New York that were absolutely full with illegal migrants at the cost of $10,000 per migrant per month?
Migrant hotel?
Those days are gone.
That's what they were.
That's what they were.
And all that's gone.
Yeah, the Democrats pretend like it never happened, Jack.
And we can never let them off the hook.
They almost destroyed this country.
President Trump saved us.
That's exactly right.
Senator Moreno, where can people go to follow your office for more updates?
Go on our website, berniemarino.com, M-O-R-E-N-O.com.
And thanks, Jack.
And to your listeners, have a very Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you as well.
Thank you, Senator.
Thank you.
All right, right back.
Cue in events daily with more.
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 should be getting public.
All right, Jack Pesobic here.
Back Human Events, Daily Real America's Voice.
Folks, I'm going to tell you something.
And it's important you need to hear this this Christmas because somewhere along the way, we traded real flavor for seed oils and processed junk.
It's time to take back our kitchens.
And our partners over at Steak and Shake are here to help.
Folks, we're introducing Steak and Shakes.
New 100% pure beef tallow.
No chemicals, no fillers, just premium beef fat rendered the old-fashioned way, the way that my Polish grandparents used to cook.
Well, right now, they have two options to choose from both at steakandshake.com.
That's steak and shake with the letter N.
Now, this Christmas, you can go and get either the grass-fed beef tallow, no, that's $9 a jar, or their American Wagyu beef tallow, just $12 a jar, with a rich, buttery taste, or bundle them both together for $19.99 and revolutionize your cooking.
Fry the crispiest fries, sear the perfect steak, roast vegetables bursting with real flavor.
This is how food should taste.
Bring tradition and taste back to your table with steak and shake beef tallow.
Order now at steakandshake.com, but steak and shake with the letter N. All right, I want to bring back now Libby Emmons to the program.
And Libby, there was this just phenomenal piece out in Compact magazine by Jacob Savage.
And it's called The Lost Generation.
And it's talking about white males roughly born in the 1980s.
And he wrote about them entering the workforce in the late 2000s, early 2010s, and how they constitute sort of a lost generation due to the widespread institutionalization of DEI around 2014 and said that these policies systematically disadvantage them in elite professions like media,
academia, and entertainment shifting from merit-based opportunities to explicit preferences for other demographic groups.
And he just goes through a variety of other industries.
But interestingly, he starts with talking about his career that he was trying around 2016 as a script writer in Los Angeles.
And I thought, well, Libby, you come from a theater background in New York.
Now, as far as I know, you are not a biological male, but certainly you might be able to shed some light on what happened here.
Yeah, this is something I read this article with great interest because it mirrored a lot of what I saw in New York City in the New York City indie theater scene in the not-for-profit theater scene in New York City.
It was very, very similar.
I watched the careers of white men collapse for no reason other than DEI initiatives being implemented by theaters.
The way that playwrights generally get money is by submitting projects for grant proposal for like grants, you know, free money, and then you work on your project.
And there were a lot of grants that started changing from just being, you know, we want some good play to we want a specific kind of play about the black experience written by black writers, or we want something about the black trans experience written by a black woman identified writer, or we want something climate change written by an Asian American writer.
And this is what was going on in theater and it was going on across the arts industries, academia and, as Jacob Savage writes, across other disciplines as well.
And it was obvious while we were happening.
While it was happening, we watched it happen.
And, in fact, in theater, there was this really fascinating thing that happened where you had all of these, you know, minority playwrights and everyone went to the same stupid graduate schools and got the same MFAs and, you know, churned out the same kind of content set for the stage, you know, with their very voicey and politically active and all of the rest of it.
And then what happened was you had a group of very vocal people in New York City downtown theater who were saying that what needed to happen is there needed to be what they called a jubilee year where all of the white male writers would step back and would not write their plays, would not have their plays produced, and where theaters would not produce the plays of any white men.
That's what it was called.
It was organized, it was direct, it was clear, it was written about in arts journals.
They called it the jubilee year.
It was implemented.
Theaters had agreed to not produce any white male plays for an entire year.
The year they picked ironically, was 2020 and all the theaters were shut down anyway.
So, in classic Greek play ironic fashion, the jubilee year ended up being a jubilee for everyone.
No one got their plays produced in 2020 because no one was producing plays, but we did see this.
This was in the arts, this has been, and across the disciplines, white men were excluded.
They were systemically excluded.
They were told that their voices were not important and that they should not try to get their work out there, that they owed it to the minority writers and artists to take a step back and let other people have the floor.
We know, of course, past past discrimination cannot be remedied by present discrimination, but none of that mattered to the marxists, who were deciding what kind of entertainment should be seen on stages, on screens, and who should be providing that content.
I want to.
I want to read a specific this is from a part portion of it where it's talking about a newsroom and it might be 2020, because they're talking about a zoom call and he's he's saying, look at this, when questioned, when questioning these new priorities, the response was shift on a zoom call.
Women would clap back at something I was saying and other women would snap their fingers in the window.
He recalled it was this whole subcultural language that was being introduced wholesale.
How interesting.
They would snap their fingers and and clap back whenever anyone tried to respond and rather than so, rather than even give any kind of actual substantive response, it was just sort of mocked and got fingers snapped and that was it.
And this is in a piece where they're talking about this, this individual who we don't know his real name, but his name is Andrew, and he's talking about how, and it's just true.
Look at this, in 2021, new hires at Condi NAST were just 25 male, only 25 male, and of that so, 75 female or other and 49% white.
And he says it's it's true of the same, you know, you see similar statistics at the LA Times, the San Diego Union Tribune, ProPublica, and NPR.
78% of new hires were people of color.
78%.
And he went in and I believe it's writers' rooms.
So writers' rooms for TV.
And this is where your TV show gets made, your Saturn Live gets made, et cetera.
Writers' rooms are now only 11.9% white males, 11.9%.
Whereas if you go back to the heyday of Saturn Live or The Simpsons or any of these great comedy shows, they certainly constituted the majority of those areas and those rooms.
So the question is what happened there and why did it?
And also, I love the very end.
And I know we have a couple minutes left, but I love the very end of the article.
He says, so let's look at the results.
Is the media more trusted now than a decade ago?
Is Hollywood making better films and television?
Is academia more respected?
Have these institutions become stronger since they systemically excluded an entire cohort?
Or did abandoning meritocracy accelerate their decline?
Yeah, I think that that was such a good point.
I also noted that specifically because no, the answer is no.
TV isn't better.
Academia is not more trusted.
Institutions are not more trusted.
Education is not better.
It's not even as good.
Most of these things are not even as good.
If you go to talk to somebody about what shows that you like, you know, the odds are that you're not even watching the same stuff because everything is so niche and fractured.
There's nothing that captures the attention and the heart of all Americans the way that shows used to.
You know, I mean, even something like Friends or the people who were on that.
What?
What?
Oh, no, no, no.
I was going to, I was going to push back a little bit.
I was going to push back a little bit because this is, and we all even admit it, so I don't mean to cut you off.
But, and you're right, there's no friends, there's no Seinfeld, there's no cheers, there's no MASH.
But what we do have is Stranger Things.
And I've been talking about this quite a bit lately.
So we're in the midst of the new Stranger Things, the grand finale.
Netflix is pushing this everywhere.
It's impossible to walk down a street without seeing the mass propaganda for this thing.
And I would point out that Stranger Things was originally written in this timeframe, 2010 to 2014 timeframe.
That's really when they got it off.
It was called Montauk originally.
There were some lawsuits regarding someone claiming.
There were two white males, the Duffer brothers, who put it together.
But I've submitted that somewhere along the line, all of the DEI got added to Stranger Things.
Because if you look like season one, season two, they're just kind of normal shows about like a small town that gets involved in a mystery and there's like a government cover-up and it's kind of like ET.
But then when Obama gets involved in 2018, when they cut a huge deal with him and Susan Rice goes on the board of Netflix, all of a sudden, all of these huge elements get added to Stranger Things.
And now they've basically taken over the show.

Folks, if you're a homeowner in America, you need to listen to this.
The FBI has been warning about a type of real estate fraud that's on the rise called title theft.
And unfortunately, even at Christmastime, these thieves are targeting your equity.
Here's how it works: criminals will forge your signature on a single document, use a fake notary stamp, and file it with the county.
And just like that, on record, they own your home.
They use your ownership.
They can take out loans against your equity and even sell your property.
And you won't know about it until foreclosure or collection notices show up in the mail.
That's why I partnered with Home Title Lock so you can protect your equity and find out today if you're already a victim.
Use my promo code posto at home titlelock.com this Christmas, and you'll get a free title history report and a free trial of their million-dollar triple lock protection.
That is 24-7 monitoring of your title records, urgent alerts to any changes.
And if fraud occurs, their U.S.-based restoration team will spend up to $1 million to fix it.
Find out why I trust Home Title Lock.
Protect yourself like I did.
Don't be a victim.
Protect your equity today.
That's hometitlelock.com.
Promo code posto.
All right.
Guys, I wanted to.
All right, let's do it like this.
We want to bring on our next guest.
It's Brick Suit.
What's up, Brick?
Not much, man.
Have a good time here and getting ready to go to America Fest in Phoenix.
Can't wait.
Now, I see the hat, iHeartWalls.
Where are the suits, man?
No suits?
Suits are at the cleaners.
You know, they are getting ready for amphest.
I see, I see.
You know, they're getting pressure washed right now, like all good women.
You're out of uniform, man.
You're out of uniform.
Partially, yes.
I apologize.
We got to get you like a brick shirt to stand in when the suits are out.
We'll get you a brick shirt as a t-shirt.
But yeah, like when it's like one of those fake suit shirts, you know what I mean?
Like a fake tuxedo.
Anyway, I wanted to play a video that you and I were commenting on yesterday.
And we're going to leave the microphones open.
And guys, let's play that block E SOT right now.
No, just no.
This is not the way.
We can't, with one hand, call out the left when they laugh at and celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination just a few weeks ago, but on the other hand, normalize, condone, and tell people to just get a sense of humor when the president makes commentary like this.
The situation was tragic.
A drug addicted son killed his mother and father.
Did that father have horrible political opinions that were dead wrong?
Yes.
Did that father make comments about Trump that were insensitive and wrong?
Absolutely.
Is this a moment to kick them while they're down?
Absolutely not.
We know better than anybody what political violence is like.
They tried to kill Trump twice and they killed Charlie Kirk.
This should be a moment of unity, a moment of our nation coming together to mourn, not a moment to make light of a situation.
Guys, can you just like, I just, I just can't, you can leave the picture up, but I can't take this anymore.
Coming together to warn?
No.
Look, look, look.
What this seems to me is it represents an attempt to try to return back to sort of the Paul Ryan, apology-first, you know, golly gee conservatism that lost us the entire country from John McCain to Mitt Romney to Paul Ryan, Mike Pence, kind of like just massive, massive Mike Pence energy off of this.
And undercutting the president of the United States, undercutting Donald Trump, yeah, he is the man who took a bullet for this country.
Yeah, Charlie Kirk is the man who died for America and who died for freedom of speech and sacrificed himself.
And you know something?
I'm done apologizing to the left.
I'm done apologizing to left.
Oh, we're so sorry about Trump's mean to.
I mean, it's, it's, it's a joke.
I'm sorry.
And if you think that that's going to make the left stop and make the bullets stop because you said, gosh, golly, maybe they'll like us, like, you're not going to make it.
You're just not going to make it.
Brick, what?
I mean, what's going on here, man?
Well, you know, a lot of people I saw talking about this yesterday were saying that this post by President Trump was indefensible, to which I would like to say, you keep using that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means because it's completely defensible.
Now, let's acknowledge that the situation for Mr. Reiner's and his wife's death is absolutely tragic.
And nobody deserves to die for their opinions.
And if it holds out, the manner in which they met their demise makes it even more so.
But Mr. Reiner was for a very long time an active, divisive force in American society.
He was not simply an actor who was posting on Twitter or Facebook.
He was taking physical part in undermining our, you know, the government, undermining President Trump's first term, hosting Brennan and Clapper and platforming the ridiculous Russian collusion ideas.
So, you know, while I'm, while I enjoyed his films, I really did.
There are several of his films that I liked.
And, you know, I am sad for his passing.
That does not give him absolution from the political division that he instilled in America and got the ball rolling on that kind of behavior, which really led to a climate in which violence against the conservatives became acceptable and, in fact, was practiced.
We almost lost President Trump.
We did lose Charlie.
Yeah.
And look, I mean, here's kind of what I want to say, too: is that even beyond sort of like, I'm not, you know, going to sit here and say that, you know, I agreed with any of this guy's stuff.
And, but I will say actually that on a totally separate note, that I actually love liberals and people totally get me wrong if they, if they think like, oh, Jack hates liberals.
No, no, I love liberals.
I think liberals are great when they're making movies.
I think they're great when they're acting.
I think they're great when they're doing art.
I think they're great when they're like cutting hair and making food and doing these types of things.
I just don't want liberals running the country or running cities or running states because they're abjectly horrible at it.
We've seen this time and time again.
When you have that emotionally based, you know, sort of like, you know, you're in a, you know, empathetically based and empath type person, you know, then yes, you typically are really good at the arts and those types of things.
But what you're really bad at is making decisions, weighing pros and cons, making, you know, making decisions for the good of everyone.
Like that's what they tend to have problems with.
Yeah.
I mean, given the chance, they'll open the borders again.
They'll pack the Supreme Court.
I mean, we're going to see what happens in New York.
I'm not optimistic about that.
But to get back onto the topic of President Trump's post, I don't think there's anything that he said in there that was inaccurate.
And I understand, though, how people can take issue with it because most people know Mr. Reiner for his films.
They're not aware of everything he did in the political realm.
And that's why there's a disconnect there between the post and some people's feelings.
I think I believe it was entirely justified, the post.
Yeah, look, and I'm not going to sit here and act like President Trump doesn't do counter punches all the time.
He's always done this.
This is like, oh, President Trump had a mean tweet, so you're going to throw him under the bus.
That's what's disgusting to me, right?
That's even more disgusting is to say that you guys will sit there when we're taking bullets Directed at us when you've got people who are under the threat of death, when you've got people who are standing up and speaking out and being killed for it, you've got Ella Cook's murderer is still on the loose up in Providence, Rhode Island, but you guys are more worried about President Trump posted a truth social about a guy he didn't like.
That's that's what got me, man.
It's just all this performative, like apologizing and virtue signaling.
I don't care about your virtue signaling, I care about stopping the people who are trying to kill us.
It's really as simple as that.
Yeah, I mean, I don't, I again, um, this road of it, by the way, guys, I'm just going to say it because you're not saying it.
You were there when President Trump was shot.
You were there.
You were in the front row.
You were in the line of fire yourself.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, there's footage from what I saw right there.
So, you know, I have some indirect experience with this type of violence.
That was a very traumatic day for America.
It was difficult for me.
I think everybody knows what happened that day.
And we got to this position because of people like Rob Reiner in the first term, in president's first term, demonizing the president, calling him a traitor, accusing him of treason, calling him a fascist.
And that's a lot of how we got to that spot in Butler.
And just to say, I think that's right.
And I think we need to understand what time it is.
It's not the time for apologizing.
It's time to man up.
Folks, go follow Brick Suit across all social media.
