Are Iran Strikes Imminent? And The Cartels Have Become a Separatist Military Force within Mexico
Jack Posobiec/Kusobic warns of escalating U.S.-Iran tensions as Geneva talks on February 26, 2026, near collapse, with Trump threatening retaliation while Iran’s foreign minister claims an agreement is close. Meanwhile, F-22s and the USS Gerald Ford deploy near Israel, targeting Iranian air defenses and missile sites to preempt chaos via proxies like Hezbollah. In Mexico, CJNG cartels—doubled in size under Biden—burn 500+ trucks daily, execute civilians, and operate as a shadow military with drones and mercenaries, including minors and Colombian fighters. Public trust in Mexico’s military surges amid U.S. pressure, but deeper corruption ties remain unaddressed, while emails reveal Gen Z’s wariness of strikes, citing Iraq/Afghanistan failures and elite-driven conflicts. The episode underscores how cartel and Iranian threats exploit weak governance and public skepticism toward intervention. [Automatically generated summary]
What Happens When Wars Meet Turning Points00:02:11
Hey guys, it's Jack.
I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.
So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends.
Make sure they're all going and downloading as well because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're only going to do so much more.
Let's get it.
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.
Christ is king.
Cuba says it has killed four people on a speedboat originating from Florida and injured six others.
The country's interior ministry alleges they were attempting to carry out terrorism on the island.
We were made aware by Cuban authorities of an incident off the coast of Cuba.
We immediately began to look into it.
As it stands now, the Department of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard, others are involved.
The majority of the information we still possess is what Cuban authorities are providing, both the public and the U.S. government.
We have our embassy on the ground in Havana working this as we speak, asking for access to the people that were on those vessels if they were American citizens or permanent residents, according to the Cuban regime that the boat was registered in Florida.
The U.S. and Iran holding a third round of nuclear talks in Geneva today, negotiating the future of Tehran's nuclear program as the U.S. builds up its military force in the region.
President Trump warning bad things, quote unquote, could happen if Tehran does not agree to a deal.
Iran's foreign minister, meanwhile, says an agreement is quote within reach.
Sources tell CBS News the relationship between the Trump administration and artificial intelligence company Anthropic appears to be on thin ice.
Anthropic was awarded a $200 million defense contract last summer in a meeting with the Penning on Tuesday.
Anno Domini: The Hillary Clinton Deposition00:04:57
Defense Secretary Pete Hegset gave CEO Dario on a day until the end of the week to sign a document ensuring the military would have full access to the company's AI model.
Vice President JD Vance says the Trump administration will temporarily halt some Medicaid funding to the state of Minnesota over fraud concerns.
President Trump's point man on his war against fraud says he wants to restore public faith in taxpayer-funded programs and bring justice to those who defrauded them.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's monumental testimony is today in the House's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Closed door depositions today and tomorrow are a result of months of demands from the House Oversight Committee looking to find out what the Clintons really know about the late convicted sex offenders' crimes.
All right, folks, Jack Posovic here.
We're live.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here on Real America's Voice.
Today is February 26, 2026.
Anno Domini, the Hillary Clinton closed door, but perhaps leaked photo deposition is going on right now as we speak in New York State in the Epstein case.
And of course, the photo heard around the world, the photo that was leaked by Benny Johnson, my colleague, has now derailed, it seems, the entire process.
We're not sure if they have yet to resign or resume this because this deposition had not been going well for Hillary.
Because the entire time, we've got video when she arrived to talk about Epstein, that she's been trying to turn the tables.
She's been trying to say, oh, well, what about Donald Trump?
What about him?
What about this?
And no, Hillary, what about you and your crooked husband?
What about you and your crooked foundation?
What about the fact that Jeffrey Epstein said that he was one of the founders of the Clinton Global Initiative?
What about what the Clintons were doing down in Haiti?
Oh, that's right.
Haiti, right down there in the Caribbean next to what else was there in the Caribbean?
What else?
Oh, that's right.
Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile island.
So there are pictures again of Bill Clinton swimming with Khelaine Maxwell, Bill Clinton in hot tubs with women and girls who have their faces redacted.
That's what this story came out with.
That's what the Epstein files showed.
What do they have about Trump?
They had Trump calling the police and saying, you need to go after Epstein because he's a bad guy.
That's what they had about Trump.
Bill Clinton went to, or excuse me, Jeffrey Epstein went to Bill Clinton's White House 17 times.
Did he go to the Trump White House?
No, he didn't.
No, he didn't.
It was the Clinton White House when Hillary herself was the first lady.
Now, we were told that prior to, okay, so prior to this pause, this suspension of the deposition, that Hillary, this was some of the information that was coming out, was refusing to defend her husband, Bill.
That she was claiming that she had never met with Epstein.
She admitted that she met with Ghelaine Maxwell, but she was stopping short of defending Bill.
Now, if she were smart, and we all know that Hillary wants to run again, we all know that she wants to be this dark horse candidate for 2028, even though I don't think anyone financially, I would hope that no one is stupid enough to actually go and to back that horse because that's a horse that needs to be put out to pasture a long time ago.
But please, if she wants to run again and wants to get destroyed by us, then by all means, we will go full 9-11 memorial on Hillary Clinton yet again if she wants to throw her hat in the ring.
Or I should say, throw her flats in the ring, if you know what I mean.
So what she could do here politically, the smart move would be throw her husband under the bus.
And yet she won't do that.
She never did it.
She stood by him, even when he cheated on her all throughout the marriage, even cheated on her during his time in the White House, Monica Lewinsky.
Always stood by him, always stood by him.
She always wanted to be president.
She carefully and coldly calculated every single move of her life to try to be the first female president.
And yet she was blocked by Donald J. Trump.
That's what this is all about for her.
But will she give any information?
That remains to be seen.
Protect Your Data From Scammers00:02:28
right back.
Jack Posovic, Human Events Daily.
Stand in our way and our golden age has just begun.
This is Human Events with Jack Pesovic.
Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
Welcome to the second American Revolution.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're back.
Human Events Daily, Jack Pesovic, Real America's Voice folks.
Every major company that you know, they're using AI right now: TurboTax, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, banks, insurance companies, hospitals, credit bureaus, retailers, data firms.
They say it's all about innovation.
But the truth is, it's about turning your personal information into their profit.
Big corporations are serving you up on a silver platter to cyber criminals.
AI runs on data about real people, your name, your home address, your phone number, your job, your family.
That information comes from data broker and people search sites that build detailed profiles on you without your permission.
So during tax season, that exposure becomes even more dangerous because those same profiles don't just feed corporate AI systems.
They are used by scammers.
Criminals look people up before they attack.
They know who you are, where you live, and how to approach you.
And this is the time of year they strike the hardest, filing fake tax returns, impersonating the IRS, and stealing refunds using stolen identities.
AI makes scams faster, easier to execute, and harder to spot.
When your information is public, you face exposure.
So ask yourself, what defenses do you actually have against this?
Well, the human events audience knows exactly what the defense is.
It's Patriot Protect.
Patriot Protect is the only anti-AI tool that actually removes you from this system.
Patriot Protect deletes your personal information from Google and removes it from over 240 data broker and people search sites, the exact places AI systems and scammers pull from.
Once removed, their search and destroy protocol keeps monitoring and wiping new exposures automatically.
Don't sit there and let scammers use AI to exploit and steal from you and your family.
Use Patriot Protect and take your data back.
Take control of your personal information and reduce your exposure.

Fifth Fleet Movements Set00:15:01
All right, folks, we spent yesterday.
We're really getting it in.
We had Tommy Robinson on.
Great episode.
That's going just viral out there.
State of the Union, of course, we had to talk about that.
But we have to talk about the force laydown in the Middle East, the massive amount of American equipment and materiel that has been moved over there.
F-22s now lined up on Israeli air bases for the first time in history in preparation for potential combat operations in Iran.
We're also seeing just early this morning, Fifth Fleet.
The entirety of Fifth Fleet just exited port in Bahrain.
What does that mean?
Well, when you see something like that, when Fifth Fleet bugs out, that means that all those ships that aren't directly associated in operations are leaving port because they don't want to be targeted in the event of a retaliatory strike by Iran.
All of this means that the signs are in place.
As we know, the two carriers, including the USS Gerald Ford, which is the most powerful warship in the world today, is just about to drop anchor off the coast of Israel.
I want to bring on Tom Sauer here, my friend, also a, I should say, Navy combat expert, if we will, fellow Navy veteran, to kind of go through some of this.
Tom, how are you?
I'm doing good, brother.
Good to talk to you again.
You as well.
So look, you know, a week ago, you came on here.
We laid out what we could see as potential scenarios.
It looks like many of those are playing out.
We said you're going to see sea power and you're going to see air power that's moving forward at a very fast clip.
That's exactly what we've seen.
We've got a number of maps up that we can use to show people what exactly is the picture that we're looking at.
And Tom, I want to get right into it.
We know there's these negotiations in Geneva right now.
President Trump's side, Witkoff-Kushner, they've come in with one set of demands.
The Iranian side is putting forward their deal.
It looks like there's a lot of distance between those two sides.
So let's go in and say, what if in the what if scenario, this thing kicks off?
What do you think the first round and looks like airstrikes when you see that many F-22s?
Guess what those are for, boys and girls?
Those are for suppression of enemy air defenses.
That's literally what that platform is designed for to be able to destroy radars and fly through anything.
It's a stealth fighter, most advanced fighter on the planet.
So what do you think you would see, Tom, or what should we expect to see in terms of perhaps an opening salvo from the United States on Iran?
Well, I think I'd point out that for better or worse, everything I talked about last time so far seems to be coming to fruition.
It really does look that way.
But a key point that you mentioned on right there, and this is something that I was taught a long time ago, many years ago, and I think you were taught this as well, being an Intel guy, being one of our Intel guys back in the day at our old unit.
But I would say that it's that the Iranians shouldn't get worried when there's a lot of ships in the Persian Gulf, right?
If you take a look at the Persian Gulf, they're up on the map.
It's not a very big, it's a very compact body of water right there.
And the thing is, is that the Iranians shouldn't get nervous when all of our ships go into the Gulf.
It's when all of our ships leave, because what that really means is that the U.S. Air Force is showing up to really mess things up.
And I think you're absolutely right.
You're going to see the first strikes you're going to see are becoming from, you know, they're long distance strikes.
You're looking at the F-22s.
You know, you're looking at, you know, we might have the B-2s might make another appearance again, or, well, they won't appear to anybody, but their presence might be felt.
Yeah, exactly.
Right.
And their presence will be made known.
Yes.
Their presence may be felt.
Absolutely.
I can see them hitting what is left of the Iranian nuclear program, but more importantly, you're going to see them completely disable the military there.
I think, but also keep in mind, you're also, there's a risk there because, you know, you said earlier that the, you know, Fifth Fleet, that all the Fifth Fleet assets, the ships bugged out, apparently.
Well, the thing is, it's still Fifth Fleet headquarters.
So that's the Navy's headquarters in the Middle East is in Bahrain, which is that little island that's right on the other side of the Gulf right there.
I've spent a lot of time there.
My brother spent two and a half years there.
I don't know if much time you spent there, probably not too much, but it's like something that I'm still.
Not personally, but a ton of friends and family have passed through.
And there's a lot of families that were stationed there.
And last I heard, I think that they evacuated the families because it's not off the table for them to take a strike.
But I still think that would probably be the worst thing that Iran could do.
But I would see us having a pretty significant strike, sinking everything in the Persian Gulf that's Iranian that floats, right?
As far as the Iranian military goes.
And anything that's in the air, if it flies, it dies.
It's you're most likely going to see, you know, keep in mind, like most of the Iranian Air Force are old assets that we sold to them back before the revolution.
I remember even one time.
They have those F, you know, they have those F, the ton of F-4 Phantoms that we sent over.
Rajan even sold some F-14s that were sent over, the Tomcats.
So, you know, and a lot of them, by the way, weren't set with because we stopped, of course, the resupply and maintenance program.
So, you know, that's been one of the big issues for the Iranian Air Force is how do they do the procurement for the maintenance of those aircraft or those American aircraft when they don't have access to American defense contractors?
Yeah, no, it's absolutely right.
Matter of fact, I remember getting overflown very low by an Iranian P3 that we had sold to them years ago.
They got so close to me.
I was on a ship when we were crossing through the Strait of Hormuz, which is the entrance to the Persian Gulf.
I could see the pilot.
I actually thought it was a friendly American one.
And then I saw the paint on it.
I'm like, that doesn't look like one of ours.
And I realized it was an Iranian one.
But to give you an whole idea, you see all those destroyers out there.
You see the Spruance, the Mike Murphy, the Mitcher.
Oh, the old, oh, the Mitcher's there.
All right.
The McFaul.
You see all these ships that are out there and each one of those are full of VLS launchers.
They're going to launch TLAMs out there.
You're going to see lots of long-range strikes and you're probably going to see the Israelis join on and join along as well.
There's obviously been a lot of cooperation there.
But I think one thing that's really important to emphasize here, Jack, to especially to the guys and gals that are watching that are very much, you know, justifiably wary of there being a prolonged conflict of Iran.
That's not happening.
And what you see here is you're looking at air and naval asset strikes.
You're not seeing anything boots on the ground.
I think the people who really think that there's going to be some massive troop movement, we're going to invade Iran, that's not happening.
It's not even being considered.
So it's one of those things where we could expect some sort of chaos through proxies.
What's left of Hezbollah, you know, might do something.
They might try to, but they've been effectively utilizing.
Tom, on that point, there were reports last night of Israel conducting strikes in southern Lebanon on Hezbollah proxies and some of their facilities down there, some of their sites.
So, I mean, those are the types of things that you would see as a potential shaping operation.
They're setting the table then for being able to deny the retaliatory efforts that they could expect should the decision be made.
So again, and I just want to put this out there for everybody.
We're seeing all of the indicators, right?
Indications and warnings.
IMW in the Intel community is what we would say.
We're seeing the indications and warnings that the United States and our allies in the Middle East are gearing up for a round of strikes within Iran.
And this is real.
This is real world.
Obviously, the president can change his mind at any time, but we are certainly seeing actions that would be taken in, you know, in really, I mean, look, Tom, the fact that they pulled the ships out is a huge indicator to me.
You know, they're not going to, some of those are small boats, by the way.
There's those Coast Guard ships there.
You know, so some of those ships aren't exactly designed to remain at sea for that long.
So that would lead me to believe that either, number one, either strikes are imminent or number two, it's just a head fake and they want Iran to think that strikes are imminent.
That's absolutely true.
But I mean, if I were the Iranians right now, I'd get my tail to Geneva right now and start talking and start striking a deal right now because everything is on the table for what could end up becoming what would provoke the end of the Iranian regime, which, you know, I mean, yeah, are there risks associated with that?
Sure.
But it's a massive risk.
And Tom, right before we go to break here, I want to go through and just, guys, full screen that map for a second.
You know, this, we're showing, we're laying the force lay down.
This is, this is nuclear sites.
This is, you know, we're looking at air air defense.
We're also looking at potential military sites as well in Iran and oil sites, by the way.
The red, that's an oil refinery.
So multiple sites that the United States could take action at and Israel could take action at in the opening salvo of certain strikes.
right back.
Jack Posobiec, Thomas Sauer, Human Events Daily.
These are influencers and they're friends of mine.
Jack Kusovic, where's Jack?
Jack, he's got a great job.
All right, Jack Kusubic back live here, Human Events daily.
We're walking through the force laydown in the Middle East, potential scenarios for an opening salvo.
We do have information now that Gerald Ford aircraft carrier has passed the Greek island of Crete and could be off the coast of Israel very soon.
Some people are speculating that it could pass down through the Suez Canal and down through the Red Sea and up into the Gulf, but also doesn't have to because sitting there in the East Med, that's within fighter range, that's within strike range of targets in parts of Iran.
And of course, we're seeing all of this layout.
We also see, by the way, that the Islamic Republic has managed to reactivate some of its Russian-made S-300 long-range air defense systems outside of Tehran, Isfahan.
These are some of the major, obviously Tehran, the capital, Isfahan, their major airbase.
So we're seeing a lot of these, just a lot of these preparations set up for potential strikes within Iran.
Tom, I want to also talk to you about the fact, you know, you mentioned that you don't think it's going to be prolonged.
And even in the 12-day war, and I guess we're referring to it as the 12-day war of 2025 now, that the thing with air defense is it's not a video game.
It's, you know, these air defense missiles, the SM-3s, Thad missiles, Patriot missile batteries, Iron Dome, these are not unlimited in supply.
They're also very expensive.
And so the longer you conduct operations, the longer you're taking incoming, the weaker your air defense becomes.
And we even had indications that by day 12 of the 12-day war, that the Iron Dome was only operating at 50% shootdown capacity.
And so this creates a major issue.
That's why, by the way, you're seeing so many of those destroyers, because you mentioned before, a lot of them have the T-Lands, the Tomahawks, but I'd be willing to wager that some are set for Tomahawk land attack and a bunch of those others are set for missile defense with the with the SM-3 interceptors set up.
So that's the force protection lay down, lay down, because you got to protect those carriers.
Those carriers are sitting ducks for any of these, you know, anything in one of these scenarios.
So Tom, walk us through that picture because the longer that, you know, we're talking weeks here, 12 days, so 14 days, 21 days, one month, this could get really hairy, really quick.
Yeah, I think it could.
But guess what?
I mean, both the United States and also Israel has been spending a lot of time on intelligence, right?
And we're pretty good at a lot of this intelligence.
We're talking military intelligence, like where all the assets are.
And the Israelis themselves are very good.
And obviously, we'd like to share information with each other.
So the way I would see this going down, and again, I don't have any special knowledge, but I've got a little bit of experience on how these things work.
And what you're going to see is first, you're going to see eliminating enemy air defenses right away.
Not unlike what we saw back on January 3rd with Venezuela, right?
That's a big country as well.
You're going to see absolutely eliminating all the radar sites, all the missile sites, eliminating that.
But then what you're most likely going to see is the destruction of every single offensive capability that Iran has.
And now you mentioned earlier how in preparation for possibly a Hezbollah attack, how all of a sudden, you know, the Israelis started hitting all these sites shaping operations again in southern Lebanon.
So I'm pretty sure if our guys know what they're doing, and last I checked, they do, is right now they're preparing that the next set of attacks can be hit, take out all the air defenses.
And then once they're completely vulnerable is take away any and all offensive capability that the Iranians have, which will make it so that the Israelis might not have to defend themselves against very much.
So that's one of the things that's happening.
Well, that's those ballistic missile sites that folks are looking at right now.
So you're looking at those ballistic missiles.
And for folks who understand, these are the ones Marco Rubio, Secretary Rubio, was talking about this.
I think it was the night of the State of the Union or either the morning after when he said, look, you know, Iran doesn't have intercontinental ballistics that can range the U.S. homeland, but what they do have are short range, medium range, which means they could hit Europe.
They could hit all of our bases within the area.
Of course, all of our assets.
And of course, our, you know, our partners there in Israel would also potentially be in the range.
That's exactly what they are designed to do.
So, of course, Israel, this is something, by the way, that Netanyahu has been pressing.
He's been to the White House multiple times now and really pressing that.
Look, you know, and this, and this is going to be a point of contention, I'm sure, by the way, that Israel wants a full-on regime change.
Whereas we know President Trump was saying, look, this is really just about the nuclear program.
J.E. Vance came out yesterday and said this is about them, preventing them and their ability to continue this program and the status of the fissile material.
Israel's Pressing Demand00:17:00
It's been buried, but what is actually going to be happening to it?
Yeah, I think it's a huge point.
I mean, I think you'll also see us taking out whatever is left of the Iran nuclear program.
And even if that means just making some rubble bounce so it's no longer accessible, I think you could probably see that as well.
And then also keep in mind another aspect of this is we would probably see, just from a psychological standpoint, you might see an oil price shock, right?
Because a good chunk of the worth of something like, I want to say two-thirds, I could be wrong about that, but a good chunk of the world's of the world's oil, not the United States' oil, the world's oil, comes through the Strait of Hormuz, which is the entrance of the Persian Gulf.
And you'll even notice that if you go look at the map, you're right, that choke point is you've got Bandur Abbas, which is an Iranian naval base.
Pretty sure he gets Bandur Abbas.
And right there.
Yeah.
So, okay, good.
I still remember it.
And then you see like that choke point at the Strait of Hormuz, it's only about 13 miles wide at its most narrow point, if memory serves.
It's really narrow.
That's a huge choke point there.
And if the one of the plans that we always had to think about is, hey, if things really pop off with Iran, which looks like something might happen, that you would see that the Iranians would either mine the Strait of Hormuz or at least let others think that they're mining the Strait of Hormuz because you don't need to actually mine it.
You just have to let people think it's been mined.
They could just throw barrels of oil barrels.
Yeah, they'll send their freighters, send a couple barges out full of barrels, send a couple of freighters out.
And guess what?
You can't roll the dice because you're talking about a super tanker full of petroleum that you can't take that risk.
So now you've got to park and wait for someone, you know, some poor schlub to go out there and figure it out.
Well, you know what they say, Tom?
Any ship can be a minesweeper once.
Tom Sauer, let people know where they go find you, buddy.
Yeah, man.
Catch me on X.com at Thomas B. Sauer.
Thomas B. Sauer.
You know, they also say every ship can be a submarine one time.
And we'll be right back here.
human events daily.
Where's Jack?
Where is he?
Jack, I want to see you.
Great job, Jack.
Thank you.
What a job you do.
You know, we have an incredible thing.
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting policies.
All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, we're back here.
Human events, daily, Real America's Voice.
Folks, America is entering its 250th year, and the direction of this country is being decided right now in our culture and our economy.
And who we choose to support matters more than ever.
And let me tell you something, folks.
Most wireless companies, they don't care who you are.
They don't care what you believe.
They just want your money or De Naro.
Patriot Mobile, they're different.
For more than 12 years, they've stood with Americans who believe freedom is worth defending, funding the Christian conservative movement when others stayed silent.
Here's the deal.
You don't have to give up quality.
You don't have to give up service when you switch to Patriot Mobile.
They deliver premium priority access on all three major U.S. networks.
So you'll get your same or better coverage than you have today.
Think switching is a hassle.
It's not.
Keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade.
Their 100% U.S.-based customer support team can and will activate you in minutes.
It's going to be so easy.
And look, if you're still, by the way, if you're still paying off a device, Patriot Mobile will even offer a contract buyout.
2026 is a defining year.
We must work together to save our country.

All right, folks, I want to go back down to Mexico because we're looking at the fallout, the aftermath of everything that took place there, this horrific, these horrific cartel attacks.
And we've got Oscar Blue Ramirez, who's now live on the scene in Guadalajara.
Oscar, how are you?
Doing good, Jack.
We arrived here yesterday at 2 o'clock in the morning.
And as soon as we arrived, Jack, we received the news that four vehicles were recently being burned.
The city of Guadajara is still on high alert, but ultimately in the parts of Ballarta and the tourist areas, it has already been controlled by the federal government and a huge deployment of Marines and huge deployment by federal officers.
But in several parts, in rural areas and in the countryside, it is still on high alert because that is where these criminal organizations have more presence, Jack.
And so tell us about this conflagration, this shootout, 25 National Guardsmen up against the cartel.
What do we know?
What happened?
And what was the outcome?
25 national heroes from Mexico.
They died, Jack, on this mission that it was provided, you know, in collaboration with the intelligence of the American government.
And they went over there knowing that there was a huge possibility that they were not going to come back.
They risked their lives and 25 of them got killed and gunned down.
We were just today on the funeral honor services of one state official that was honored by the city of Guadalajara who died on this confrontation.
The other thing about it is that all these communities have been safeguarded, but you have the family members that they, you know, they're hurting right now, Jack.
More than 25 of them, they died.
And, you know, Nemecio Seguera El Mencho was critically hurt, transported on a helicopter from this part of Tepalpa that we are going to go today to this city that he was located, and he died on the way on a helicopter to Mexico City.
And walk me through that.
How does that happen?
25 National Guardsmen.
Do we know what was the size of the force they were up against?
How many people did the cartel have, and how well equipped were they that they were able to take out so many National Guardsmen?
So I have said this before, Jack, and it is a reality under the Biden administration.
This criminal organization grew two times bigger on technology, on territory, on land, economically.
And, you know, they grew so much.
The CJNG grew so much because of the financial gain that they were getting on the enormous trafficking of children, trafficking of humans throughout the whole North border that connected the United States of America.
When they encounter these people, you're facing high technology weapons, you're facing drones, you're facing rocket launchers, you're facing all these mad-max vehicles.
It is not going against your average typical mercenary group.
These are former, some of them, former military, that they have changed and they have betrayed the country and gone to work with the organized crime.
And some of these individuals, they're recruited minors that the cartel has been recruiting for so many years.
And they face, you know, between life and death expectancy when they go against the military.
So it was, it was horrible.
You know, 25 National Guardsmen died, but the whole mission was to execute and detain Nemesio Seguera and Mencho, Jack.
And you look at their, you look at their force lay down, you look at the equipment that they have.
I mean, what this really it seems to me that this is beyond the gang-level activity that we see in the United States and U.S. cities and U.S. crime.
This is the Mexican military going up against a rival military, isn't it?
This is this is complete terrorism.
Just but what happened on Sunday, an organization, a union of truck drivers, released a statement saying that more than 400 infraction and close to 500 inflation fraction trucks, semi-trucks were burned just in one day, Jack.
That tells you the level of power, the level of terrorism that they can execute to a population and to a city.
And not only that, you know, what happened in Te Paulpa, the executions, the terrorism that they're still continuing.
Just yesterday, still there were, you know, there was a confrontation with two civil two civilians died and one was arrested.
And guess from what country this guy was working with the cartels?
He was arrested and the entity was from Colombia.
They have people recruited from all parts of the continent, recruited minors that these people are mercenary and they're ready to go one-on-one with the National Guardsmen and with the federal authorities of Mexico, Jack.
It's clear they've become a shadow government.
They have their own military.
They have their own laws.
They have their own rules, codes, they have their own police force, even.
I mean, this is something where you've lost sovereignty.
You've lost control over parts of the country, parts of the city.
That's exactly what the cartels are trying to do.
And in many cases, these were reprisals.
I think you were telling us there was even part of the shootout took place in someone's home.
Is that correct?
Yes.
Well, it was in the interior of Nemesio Seguera.
And we're about to go to that particular place that is three hours from where we are located.
You know, it's one thing that I need to highlight, Jack.
After this confrontation and after the 25 National Guardsmen, the Mexican National Guardsmen that they have died, Mexicans have gained a little bit of respect and trust of the government.
In some places, there are viral videos where the military is arriving to displace and to remove, you know, and to secure the citizens.
And the people are yelling, Viva, Mexico, thank you so much for coming.
This tells you that because of the pressure of the United States of America, the Trump administration, and also the collaboration between Marco Rubio and the president of Mexico, look what the result is.
It is huge.
The result is that the atmosphere in Mexico is completely changing.
Is drastically getting into a positive atmosphere that it can lead to positivity and removing these organized groups in several areas in Mexico.
What else can the United States provide in this war on the cartels?
Well, ultimately, at the end of the day, they're collaborating enough and they are doing more than enough, providing a lot of intelligence.
But I think that the Trump administration and also Marco Rubio need to pressure more Clara Shiba because we know the real terrorists and those are the ones that are wearing the suit in the tie.
Those are the ones that they need to be exposed, critically exposed.
The ties that they have to the Senate, the ties that they have to the Congress, the ties that they have to the organized Crime de Cartel.
And at the end of the day, Jack, the ties that they possibly have with dirty politicians in the United States of America, majority leftists, that they are lean to that.
That is the end game to find the rabbit hole to where this corruption goes to.
This is absolutely huge.
Oscar, there's no rules of engagement for the cartels.
We know they'll attack weddings, they'll attack funerals.
It's a zero-sum game for them.
And it doesn't matter if it's a rival gang or the military.
They want to go after military, after police.
That's the point because they want power, isn't it?
Yes, absolutely.
They want power.
They want territory.
And these burning of vehicles, they want to send a message that they still have control over communities that ultimately, at the end of the day, they still want to send a message that they're still in charge and they're not going to be easily to be displaced.
But little by little, the federal government of Mexico, with the collaboration of the United States, this pressure, it is inevitably putting pressure on them to see how they are going to reinstructure this criminal organization, because that is the other speculation.
Who's going to be in charge?
Who's going to let this criminal organization?
They're trying, the federal government is trying to object to that and destroy completely this criminal organization once and for all, Jack.
Oscar Blue Ramirez, what can people do to follow you and support your work?
Real America's Boys News, the number one network.
Also, RAV and Espanol, go and follow our Spanish network that is opening up in Spanish.
We're doing a lot of translated programs like Jack Pesovic and Human Events and all my social media, Oscar Blue Ramirez.
You can find me at Oscar Ramirez TJ on X. Jack, thank you so much for the invitation.
All right, stay safe, brother.
We need you down there, Oscar.
We need you.
The cartels, they're going to be gunning for that guy.
Right back.
Community Events Daily.
It's the Jack Posobiec Appreciation Hour.
I.
I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Pesobic.
And that is, I'll be honest.
All right, folks, Jack Pesobic, we're back live and we're taking your emails.
Question of the day: Do you support these U.S. strikes or potential U.S. strikes in Iran?
So getting some emails in right now.
All right, here we go.
This one is in from Daniel in Kentucky.
He says, for Steve Bannon and Jack Posobic, if the only way to get rid of all the missile and nuclear and heavy cannons and the ability of them to get and make them with no American troops on the ground, also say to Iran, America will protect you if you feel threatened by other nations.
Also, the Muslim world should pay for all of these actions by America.
That is from Daniel.
Oh, believe me, Daniel of Sarasota, Florida.
I was reading the other email ahead of that.
We've got this one here.
This is from Zach.
He says, he's a retired U.S. Army.
Personally, I've got no problem bombing them into oblivion and killing all their leadership.
The part I don't want to see happen is Iraq or Afghanistan 2.0.
can't deploy troops to the ground in Sydney, these countries for 20 years and try to civilize them.
I spent a year in Ambar province watching the dysfunction.
It was totally pointless to be there.
Wow.
Here we go from David.
Trump needs to leave Iran alone.
American foreign policy needs to be focused on safety and prosperity for America here at home.
Americans had little to no success in regime change.
Regime change in Iran would be an utter failure.
No amount of neocon thinking can change that.
Neocons never think about the consequences of their actions.
What if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz?
Global economic recession?
What if Iran strikes or even sinks a capital U.S. warship?
What if this escalates into a massive regional war?
Americans do not want another war.
They want to fix the problems with the American economy.
They want accountability for rampant financial fraud and they want people held accountable for Jeffrey Epstein.
All right.
We have one here from Janet.
I, or Jeanette, I do not want war with Iran, nor do I want the U.S. to be responsible for a regime change.
Stay out of it.
These are flying in.
This one is in from McKenzie.
Wow.
In Texas.
She says, I don't care about the Iranian regime.
I'm pregnant with my third child.
I'm a stay-at-home mom.
We can't afford anything except the essentials.
Thank the Lord.
My entire hometown is filled with Muslims and Indians.
I don't think we'll own a home until we're in our 40s.
So no, I don't care about Iran.
I miss Charlie.
Keep up the great work.
We've been praying for you.
Charlie, we'll be proud of you.
Look for your email, McKenzie.
And you hear a lot of that.
And you're seeing, by the way, I've talked about this.
I was in Politico, did an interview this week, talking about Charlie, his legacy on this question back June, the 12-day war, where Charlie was very clear that Gen Z and younger voters, anyone under and younger citizens, 45, 40, and under, are totally opposed to more action in the Middle East and that it tends to be people who are older that have more of a willingness to do this.
But this is something that Gen Z is totally, adamantly opposed to.
And that email from McKenzie, my gosh, pregnant with her third stay-at-home mom.
And she's saying, we don't think we can afford a home until we're in our 40s.
Charlie's Opposition00:06:03
And you just hear about this stuff.
Here's one from Ryan.
Absolutely not.
The U.S. military is not a means of salvation for foreigners.
We have enough of our own problems.
America first.
Nick in Montana says, howdy from Montana, Jack, God bless you.
I think President Trump has proven himself trustworthy in these matters.
Gone are the days of endless wars, which cost us dearly.
When Trump uses our military, it's as a last resort and has the best interests of America in mind.
Plus, he unties our military's hands, giving them the freedom to use its might to get the job done.
He's over and over shown his respect for our troops and doesn't want them needlessly put in harm's way.
Praying for the people of Iran, our troops, Israel, and of course, America.
Here's one from Isaiah, wholeheartedly oppose U.S. involvement in Iran.
Every time the U.S. gets involved in the Middle East, it never ends well, and it only benefits the investment class and war stocks.
We send our sons and daughters to die in some godforsaken land for reasons not clearly explained to the American people.
And in fact, when we invaded Iraq under Bush, you were thrown off TV for voicing any form of dissent.
And I mean, folks, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
So you see this split.
You see this dichotomy.
And we're all over the country with this.
Tanya Tay saying that she loves when we read the emails from all over.
And we really do get them from all over, even all over the world.
People were listening to the program from all sorts of corners.
They're in there.
I'll pull some up that are just coming in online right now.
Stephen, who I know is, I believe he's in Idaho.
Says, no, it'll just lead to war.
Um, I already know we're slowly walking in this direction.
How do I know military members are deployed?
Um, someone says no, we should star Pop 420.
No, I support passing the Save Act.
Uh, someone here, nope, this will end GOP or this will end Trump's presidency.
David says, explain the reasons why and the strategy and the goal, then I will let you know.
Daily digest, not our fight.
Uh, Rudy comes in and says, heck, yes.
Uh, guitar dude 2024?
Absolutely not.
Let's see.
Gabriella writes in and says, I think escalating with strikes inside Iran will just lead to more chaos.
Better to push for smarter diplomacy and de-escalation first.
Uh, here's one from Magica, only if Israel strikes first and the Iranians retaliate, they have to shed some blood for us.
Let's see.
Let's see from Miss D, no no no, have we not learned a thing in the last three decades?
Let Israel send their soldiers.
We lost thousands of our men in Iraq.
Israel lost zero.
Let's see conservative Black Brilliance writes, nope, not our fight.
Mexico and Cuba, yes, they have killed and have trapped Americans.
And so you you're, you're really getting this just all over.
You know again we're, we're seeing all this.
Uh, right here, from from Handel.
He says, I stand with Charlie.
He was a wise man and I agree with what he said, wish he was still here.
Well, that certainly goes for all of us and certainly we can all say that we wish Charlie was still here, and and people need to remember that this is something that Charlie adamantly opposed in terms of.
But what did he say?
And i'm not gonna put words in Charlie's mouth and i'm not gonna try to, you know, change or edit anything he said.
It was very clear, if there was a threat like the nuclear program, he supported that intervention strictly to take out the nuclear program and then come home, which he later then came out afterwards and I remember because I was on air with him, I talked to him every day.
You can go back and watch all the videos.
It's all still there.
The entire body of work is still there.
So he supported that.
He supported that because that was the American military using its power to take a regional and international threat off the board.
But what he adamantly opposed was the idea of regime change.
He said that it was lunacy and he went after Lindsey Graham very hard.
There's clips upon clips of this saying that this is not the way.
This isn't America's fight and you have no idea what will come afterwards, that no one can tell you what will come afterwards in a regime collapse scenario in Iran, and anyone who says they can is is just not telling you the truth.
They are being deceitful.
Some more emails in here.
Uh, this one's in from Mike in New Jersey.
Personally, I think the president should concentrate on the Save bill, getting that passed, getting the tariffs back, making sure the Dems don't take over in the fall.
As far as the Middle East Iran, it is what it is.
Jesus will come back and fix that mess once and for all.
Nobody else will.
This one from Chris in New Hampshire writes, absolutely not.
The country is waking up to the manipulation.
We feel that Trump is losing support.
Regime change in Iran is overwhelmingly unpopular with the public.
But unfortunately, there are other countries that have too much influence over American politics for far too long.
We need to root this out.
And so you're seeing a lot of people have this split on this issue.
And I understand that.
And that's why we're sitting up here and saying, look, I just did the whole, the whole piece of this, the whole, and go back and watch it.
We'll actually have to go and post those links yet again for tales of regime change that we did right here on Human Events Day.
I was down at Liberty University.
We did an entire panel, two hour long discussion, myself, Joshua Lisek, as well as a retired Navy intelligence admiral.
And of course, the great Dave Bratt who brought us in.
We'll be getting the video from that at some point, be able to get it to you, put it up as a special episode or something.
Last minute, we got one in.
This comes in from A, destroy the nuclear capabilities, degrade the state sponsorship of terrorism, let the people of Iran decide the regime change question.
So we're getting all your emails in and thank you for that.
