=== Fourth Turning Meets Fifth Generation Warfare (09:51) ===

[00:00:02]  Hey guys, it's Jack.
[00:00:03]  I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.
[00:00:09]  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.
[00:00:16]  Make sure they're all going and downloading as well because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
[00:00:22]  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.
[00:00:29]  Let's get it.
[00:00:34]  This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
[00:00:42]  A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
[00:00:49]  This is Human Events with your host, Jack Pisovic.
[00:00:52]  Christ is king.
[00:00:54]  A week ago, you were paying $2.99 a gallon nationwide for a gallon of regular.
[00:00:59]  This morning, that number has jumped to $3.48.
[00:01:03]  I want to get your take on all this.
[00:01:04]  A billion dollars a day.
[00:01:06]  Oil prices up 27% in a week.
[00:01:09]  You've got the president wanting a $1.5 trillion defense budget in 27.
[00:01:14]  The idea that the Pentagon is about to come to you for $50 billion on these strikes to Iran.
[00:01:21]  How are you going to answer?
[00:01:22]  Best money ever spent.
[00:01:23]  What's it worth to America to take down a religious Nazi regime who's trying to build a nuclear weapon to deliver to America?
[00:01:31]  That's a really good investment.
[00:01:33]  The White House is reportedly preparing an economic deal with Cuba as it ramps up pressure on the island nation.
[00:01:39]  They're very much at the end of the line.
[00:01:42]  They have no money, they have no oil.
[00:01:43]  They have a bad regime that's been bad for a long time.
[00:01:48]  Today, Israel and the U.S. are expanding their strikes on Iran.
[00:01:51]  For the first time, Israel is now attacking energy installations across Iran.
[00:01:55]  Even as the war widens, President Trump still sounds optimistic Iran will give up soon.
[00:01:59]  They're being decimated now.
[00:02:02]  You know, at some point, I don't think there'll be anybody left maybe to say we surrender.
[00:02:07]  Iran is still punching back with strikes on Gulf states that host American military installations, like this government building in Kuwait City.
[00:02:15]  Iran's president apologized to its neighbors, offering to halt their attacks on Arab Gulf countries if they stop hosting American strikes on Iran.
[00:02:25]  Iran named Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son Mushtaba to succeed his father as supreme leader, signaling that hardliners remain firmly in charge in Tehran.
[00:02:36]  Tonight, the FBI is investigating two men after an explosive device with bolts and screws was thrown into a crowd.
[00:02:43]  It happened in New York City on Saturday during a protest that turned violent outside the mayor's official residence.
[00:02:49]  New York City Mayor Zeran Mamdani, who is Muslim, was inside Gracie Mansion when a small anti-Islam protest took place here yesterday afternoon.
[00:02:59]  A larger counter protest then showed up, and police say two men who were part of that group brought those homemade devices.
[00:03:05]  This was a vile protest rooted in white supremacy entitled Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City.
[00:03:12]  Tonight, two teens from Pennsylvania are in federal custody, tied to dueling protests near the mayor of New York City's residence yesterday.
[00:03:20]  All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of Human Events Daily.
[00:03:24]  Today is March 9th, 2026.
[00:03:26]  Anno Domini.
[00:03:27]  And folks, I'm furious.
[00:03:28]  I'm livid.
[00:03:29]  I'm seething with rage.
[00:03:31]  We are seeing an absolute betrayal exploding in our faces right now.
[00:03:36]  Explain this to me.
[00:03:37]  The children of two migrant families, one from the jihadist hotbed of Afghanistan, the other from Turkey, raised in the lap of luxury in affluent Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
[00:03:50]  These are not poor souls fleeing hardship.
[00:03:53]  We're talking about kids who grew up in multi-million dollar mansions, handed every advantage this country has to offer.
[00:04:01]  And how do they repay us?
[00:04:03]  By joining an ISIS terror cell and building IEDs, improvised explosive devices, the same tools of terror that shred our soldiers overseas, and they hurl them at protesters right outside Gracie Mansion in the heart of New York City.
[00:04:19]  They scream, ah, Akbar, and they're trying to blow up Americans on our own streets.
[00:04:24]  We have imported terrorism, pure and simple.
[00:04:28]  This should be a gut putch to every patriot, but of course, the mainstream media doesn't even seem to want to frame it this way.
[00:04:35]  Let's go a little bit deeper.
[00:04:37]  These families didn't just show up.
[00:04:39]  They are the direct result of our insane migrant policies, open borders, chain migration, endless taxpayer-funded programs, shoveling, loans, grants, financial aid, your tax dollars to prop them up in upstale suburbs while real Americans struggle.
[00:05:00]  We are importing danger from the most volatile parts of the third world, places soaked in extremism, violence, anti-Western hatred, and they wonder why it bites us.
[00:05:10]  These people are dangerous, folks, ungrateful, radicalized, and they are lethal.
[00:05:17]  We have the proof right in front of us.
[00:05:19]  Stop importing them immediately.
[00:05:22]  Start deporting them.
[00:05:25]  Remigrate them.
[00:05:26]  Just like President Trump has warned over and over and over.
[00:05:30]  Build the wall, end the madness, and watch our homeland turn free, turn safe, or we could have our home turned into a battlefield.
[00:05:41]  And look, there are now indications emerging that this is not just two lone wolves.
[00:05:47]  We're talking a full-blown terror sell potentially, made up to, reportedly, up to seven persons of interest, including the actual bomb maker still on the loose.
[00:05:59]  The FBI is raiding homes in Bucks County, recovering more devices, launching a full-scale terror probe, and yet these threats are still out there potentially plotting the next strike.
[00:06:08]  How many more IEDs?
[00:06:10]  How many more attacks do we need before we wake up?
[00:06:13]  And yeah, this does hit home for me.
[00:06:15]  I'm a Pennsylvanian through and through.
[00:06:17]  I'm raised in the Keystone state.
[00:06:19]  I love the values of hard work and the freedom of Pennsylvania in Montgomery County, right next to Bucks County.
[00:06:25]  But now my home is being sold out by spineless leaders like Governor Josh Shapiro, who bends over backwards to welcome Muslim migrants with open arms while funneling our hard-earned tax dollars into Muslim community centers like his $5 million grant to the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society, the biggest ever handed to a Muslim organization in Pennsylvania.
[00:06:48]  And he proclaims they're more important than ever, protecting their rights while ignoring the real threats pouring in.
[00:06:55]  Josh Shapiro's policies are turning Pennsylvania into a welcome mat for radicals, handing out our money, ignoring the risks, and now we see the bloody consequences on the streets.
[00:07:05]  Enough.
[00:07:06]  Deport the threats, shut down the handouts, defund the enabling, and put America first.
[00:07:12]  It's as simple as that.
[00:07:14]  America first.
[00:07:20]  Stand in our way and our golden age has just begun.
[00:07:23]  This is Human Events with Jack Pesovic.
[00:07:25]  Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
[00:07:30]  Welcome to the second American Revolution.
[00:07:37]  All right, folks.
[00:07:38]  Well, every major company you know is using AI right now.
[00:07:41]  We're talking about TurboTax, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple Banks, insurance companies, hospitals, credit bureaus, retailers, data firms.
[00:07:50]  They say it's about innovation.
[00:07:52]  But the truth is, it's about turning your personal information into profit.
[00:07:57]  And big corporations are serving you up on a silver platter to cyber criminals.
[00:08:01]  AI runs on data about real people, your name, your home address, your phone number, your job, your family.
[00:08:07]  That information comes from data brokers and people search sites that build detailed profiles on you without your permission.
[00:08:14]  So during this tax season, as in right now, that exposure becomes even more dangerous because those same profiles don't just feed corporate AI systems.
[00:08:23]  They're used by scammers.
[00:08:25]  Criminals look people up before they attack.
[00:08:28]  They know who you are, where you live, and how to approach you.
[00:08:31]  And this is the time of year they strike hardest, filing fake tax returns, impersonating the IRS, and stealing refunds using stolen identities.
[00:08:39]  AI is making these scams faster, easier to execute, and harder to spot.
[00:08:43]  When your information is public, you are exposed.
[00:08:46]  So ask yourself, what defenses do you actually have against this?
[00:08:50]  Well, the human events audience knows exactly what the defense is.
[00:08:53]  It's Patriot Protect.
[00:08:54]  Patriot Protect is the only anti-AI tool that actually removes you from this system.
[00:08:59]  Patriot Protect deletes your personal information from Google and removes it from over 240 people search and data broker sites.
[00:09:07]  Those are the places where these AI systems and the scammers are pulling your information from.
[00:09:11]  So once it's removed, you use their search and destroy protocol to keep monitoring and wiping new exposures automatically.
[00:09:17]  I love this system.
[00:09:18]  You guys are going to love it.
[00:09:20]  It's going to work so well for you because this is how I trust my family.
[00:09:25]  Use this.
[00:09:25]  You want to make sure that you're using Patriot Protect and taking your data back the same way that we did.
[00:09:31]  Take control of your personal information and reduce your exposure with promo code POSO for 15% off all Patriot Protect plans.
[00:09:39]  Go to patriot-protect.com slash POSO and use promo code POSO for 15% off.
[00:09:47]  So, and by the way, folks, there's so much more that's coming out about this, this bombing.
[00:09:52]  And this was a bombing.

=== Socioeconomic Factors and Citizenship (08:57) ===

[00:09:53]  All right, let me be very clear that even though it wasn't necessarily successful, this was an ISIS bombing in New York City.
[00:10:01]  One of the terrorists, and this is according to Nick Sordor, who's basing it off of the indictment that just dropped, Emir Balat, admitted that he wanted to carry out an attack bigger than the Boston bombing.
[00:10:12]  And his buddy Ibrahim Kayumi has now been as well, has been charged with attempted provision of material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, use of weapons of mass destruction, transportation of explosive materials, interstate transportation and receipt of explosives, and unlawful possession of destructive devices.
[00:10:31]  And I want to go through because we've got, and you can see this all across Facebook and all the people in my southeastern Pennsylvania, you know, friend group and friend community, they're sending me this, that this is a student, someone saying that this was a student at the Neshone School District in Nesemone High School, which again, just outside Philadelphia, that is known as a sleeper community.
[00:10:55]  It's not a sleeper cell.
[00:10:56]  It's a sleeper community, full of sleeper cells as well.
[00:11:00]  There you go.
[00:11:01]  The sleeper community with the sleeper cell.
[00:11:03]  And these are safe neighborhoods.
[00:11:06]  These are safe areas that are just not used to seeing this kind of violence.
[00:11:11]  Another one out of Newtown with Council Rock.
[00:11:14]  And again, you just, you import a couple of third worlders and all of a sudden, boom, ISIS terror cell right in your midst.
[00:11:21]  I want to get on Aaron McIntyre here from host of the Arn McIntyre show because he and I have talked about this at length.
[00:11:27]  Arin, what are we to make of this?
[00:11:30]  That the these are American citizens.
[00:11:34]  They are born in the United States.
[00:11:36]  They were raised in the United States.
[00:11:37]  They seem to be doing very well.
[00:11:39]  They've been had great access to what we're told is the American dream.
[00:11:44]  Now, their families before both of them live in one house, I think it's like worth $2.5 million.
[00:11:51]  Another one approaching a million dollars if we have the right address here.
[00:11:55]  I don't want to get too into that, but point being is they're not in impoverished conditions whatsoever.
[00:12:00]  They're living in very, very nice, affluent areas, and yet they took it upon themselves to still join this ISIS terror cell and commit an act of terrorism in New York City.
[00:12:12]  Do they view themselves as Americans?
[00:12:14]  Why, they have American citizenship.
[00:12:16]  What's going on here?
[00:12:18]  Well, Jack, this is why it's so important.
[00:12:20]  For so long, we were discussing the immigration issue.
[00:12:23]  We talked about illegal immigration.
[00:12:24]  We all knew it was bad.
[00:12:25]  I mean, it's in the name.
[00:12:27]  It's illegal.
[00:12:28]  We have to stop it.
[00:12:28]  These people are undocumented.
[00:12:30]  They're not vetted.
[00:12:31]  They're coming across.
[00:12:32]  We don't know who they are.
[00:12:33]  But people like you and I have been pointing out for a long time, leading the charge on hopefully understanding that it's not just illegal immigration that's the problem.
[00:12:41]  It's the legal immigration as well.
[00:12:43]  Because even when we bring people in legally, even when perhaps the parents of these two alleged terrorists came in, they believed that they were being properly vetted.
[00:12:52]  They were going through the process.
[00:12:54]  They were meeting all the requirements.
[00:12:56]  But it's not just about the process.
[00:12:58]  America is not just a piece of paper.
[00:13:00]  American identity is not just an oath you take.
[00:13:03]  It's not just a set of rules that you read out.
[00:13:06]  It is something that is ingrained.
[00:13:07]  It's a tradition.
[00:13:08]  It's a belief.
[00:13:09]  The love of this country is something that needs to be cultivated.
[00:13:12]  It needs to be shared.
[00:13:14]  It's not something that you can necessarily just download into somebody because they happen to have gone through a process.
[00:13:19]  And even if you bring in perhaps parents that don't have these beliefs, their children can easily be radicalized because they're not part of the longer tradition.
[00:13:28]  And that's why we need to be far more selective about who we're allowing into this country.
[00:13:33]  We need an immigration moratorium so we can take a break, so we can understand who is in our country, what these people believe.
[00:13:39]  Are they dangerous?
[00:13:40]  Are they sympathetic to terrorism?
[00:13:42]  Is there something we need to do to better integrate these people into our society?
[00:13:47]  Or do we need to deport these people?
[00:13:49]  These are all questions that we can only ask once we stop the flow of immigration, both legal and illegal.
[00:13:55]  And the delusion is going to be able to pick out every one of these people.
[00:14:00]  But hold on a second now, because these people, though, these two individuals, these teenagers, high school students, that they were not immigrants, though.
[00:14:09]  They were U.S. citizens.
[00:14:11]  They were born here.
[00:14:12]  So that makes them patriotic Americans by default, right?
[00:14:16]  Right.
[00:14:17]  Again, we're assuming that that generation is just suddenly going to become American because they happen to have been born second generation into the United States.
[00:14:25]  But we see so often that's just not the case.
[00:14:27]  It's not sufficient.
[00:14:29]  We need a cultural understanding of citizenship, a generational understanding of citizenship, not one that simply gets magically transferred to someone because they stepped onto our soil or happens to transfer into people who are not really part of our culture, but whose parents came here, didn't really assimilate, and then had children that continued their ideology.
[00:14:50]  We need to understand that there are second order consequences to both illegal and legal mass immigration.
[00:14:57]  And without understanding that, without applying that, we're going to see more and more of this violence.
[00:15:02]  We're now at a point where we have different tribal groups deciding who's going to be the mayor of Minneapolis.
[00:15:08]  And then we see these ancient blood feuds imported into the United States, even through second generation immigrants, people who were born into this country.
[00:15:17]  It's a disastrous situation, and we need to take control of our immigration.
[00:15:21]  We need to know who's here and we need to know what they believe.
[00:15:26]  And you look at this, the parents live in luxurious homes.
[00:15:29]  So again, you know, there's just so much about this story that I feel just cuts against all of the arguments that we hear against.
[00:15:37]  They'll say, because of course, one of the ones you'll always hear is they go, oh, well, sometimes you see these criminal rates in the second generation or first generation, depending on how they count it, the children of migrants, because of the poor socioeconomic backgrounds that migrants find themselves in.
[00:15:53]  So it's because of these socioeconomic factors that cause them to lash out.
[00:15:58]  And yet we don't see that.
[00:15:59]  We don't see that at all in this case.
[00:16:01]  They don't have any poor socioeconomic factors.
[00:16:03]  They're doing better than most people in Pennsylvania are doing.
[00:16:06]  They're doing so much better.
[00:16:08]  And in many cases, of course, we also find that migrants, and this is a whole other topic for another day, that migrants have found themselves access to minority income streams from the Small Business Administration, which generally were targeted for lower income minorities in the United States that come from African American backgrounds and others or others because of what they feel is an imbalance in the history.
[00:16:36]  Well, a migrant isn't someone who's been discriminated against in the past because they weren't here before, and yet those same loans still apply because we're not allowed to really ask those questions.
[00:16:46]  So it's instead what you have is a system where people are coming in, immediately getting a leg up, and yet they still, or at least the children still want to commit acts like this.
[00:16:56]  And in one case, according, again, just very preliminary reports.
[00:17:00]  I'm just going to say about on that for all of this, but I just don't know.
[00:17:03]  And I've said this in a number of cases, how parents can have children in their homes that are building multiple IEDs, even if they're teenagers and know nothing about it.
[00:17:15]  Because they're talking about recovering multiple devices, trying to figure out what's going on here.
[00:17:20]  Yeah, always confusing.
[00:17:21]  You hope the parents would be aware of what's going on and would report it if they knew, but you do have to worry about the sympathies of the parents.
[00:17:28]  Of course, when you see something like this, and as you point out, there's this ridiculous narrative that terrorism is simply caused by oppression or some kind of socioeconomic factors.
[00:17:39]  But we know that many of the 9-11 hijackers, in fact, most of them were actually relatively wealthy, well-off.
[00:17:45]  These are college-educated, many citizens in Germany.
[00:17:49]  These are not the poorest of the poor.
[00:17:52]  So that has nothing to do ultimately with radicalization.
[00:17:55]  Radicalization is not simply socioeconomic.
[00:17:58]  It's religious.
[00:17:58]  It's cultural.
[00:18:00]  It's ideological.
[00:18:01]  And we cannot count it out just because someone gets some help.
[00:18:03]  We can't say that because they received a loan or they got a hand up, they're suddenly going to believe in the American dream.
[00:18:09]  And this is the real problem.
[00:18:11]  Once again, Americans are trying to associate, I guess, prosperity with American identity, but that's not what America is.
[00:18:18]  Yes, we are a prosperous nation.
[00:18:19]  And yes, we have done well for ourselves because of our beliefs, our hard work, our trust in God, many other blessings.
[00:18:26]  But ultimately, that is not what defines us.
[00:18:28]  And it's not going to sway people who ultimately believe in an ideology that wants to see us dead or destroyed.
[00:18:34]  Our prosperity is not enough to win everyone over.
[00:18:37]  No, it's not.
[00:18:38]  And I've said this publicly before, and I'll say it again, that when I was at Guantanamo Bay and we would have the radicals telling us that they were motivated by Islam, that we were not allowed to write that down.

=== Prosperity vs. American Identity (17:37) ===

[00:18:50]  We were not allowed to put that in our reports.
[00:18:52]  We were not allowed to say that this is the commonality.
[00:18:55]  This is the thread.
[00:18:56]  This is what they believe that that was.
[00:18:59]  And of course, under the Obama years, that was Verbotin.
[00:19:03]  Jack Sobic, R. McIntyre, Human Events Daily, right back.
[00:19:10]  You talk about influencers.
[00:19:11]  These are influencers.
[00:19:13]  And they're friends of mine.
[00:19:15]  Jack Krussovick.
[00:19:17]  Where's Jack?
[00:19:19]  He's got a breakdown.
[00:19:24]  All right, Jack Krisovic.
[00:19:25]  We're back live here, Human Events Daily, folks.
[00:19:27]  Let me tell you something straight up.
[00:19:29]  I'm a picky man.
[00:19:30]  I'm a picky guy when it comes to what I put in my body and what companies I support.
[00:19:35]  But Blackout Coffee is one that checks every box.
[00:19:38]  We're talking about a family-run American company which roasts fresh coffee right here in the USA, built by people who believe in hard work, freedom, and the United States.
[00:19:46]  And 2026, this is a huge year.
[00:19:49]  This is the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.
[00:19:52]  You know what Blackout Coffee is doing?
[00:19:54]  They're celebrating it all year long with new roasts, limited editions, and some very exciting releases, which are coming.
[00:20:02]  I drink this stuff, blackout coffee, every single day.
[00:20:05]  We're talking morning shows, late shows, travel days.
[00:20:07]  You know, some of these nights, hey, we got a war on.
[00:20:09]  I need my blackout.
[00:20:10]  It is smooth.
[00:20:11]  It is strong.
[00:20:12]  It's always fresh.
[00:20:13]  Once you switch, there's no going back.
[00:20:16]  They've got something for everyone.
[00:20:17]  Morning Reaper, their best-selling medium roast.
[00:20:19]  It is smooth.
[00:20:20]  It's never bitter.
[00:20:21]  Brutal Awakening.
[00:20:22]  If you like the bold roast, that's me.
[00:20:24]  As a matter of fact, it actually wakes you up.
[00:20:26]  And for 2026, I haven't tried, actually, no wait, I did try this already.
[00:20:30]  I was going to say I didn't.
[00:20:30]  I just tried some.
[00:20:31]  The 1776 dark roast because we got my father got a whole packet because he's been stealing mine.

[00:21:23]  And I want to just bring Arn McIntyre back in here.
[00:21:26]  So, Arin, when we talk about these things and we talk about these issues of immigration and these populations that we brought into the U.S., this ultimately does become a problem for our foreign policy, doesn't it?
[00:21:39]  Because when the United States and when our presidents decide to conduct an action or decide to have a decision one way or the other on any question of foreign policy, their only question should really be, is this in the interest of the United States?
[00:21:55]  Not will this population rise up and start killing my citizens?
[00:22:00]  And yet that's become a real problem now, hasn't it?
[00:22:03]  Absolutely.
[00:22:04]  A lot of people will focus on diaspora politics because they might influence what decisions we make abroad because people might lobby the government for their home country.
[00:22:14]  But another massive concern, as you're pointing out, is the constant possibility of blowback.
[00:22:20]  Whether you support any given action by our government, it should be able to make those decisions under its own sovereignty.
[00:22:27]  It shouldn't be wondering whether a large diaspora of some foreign population is going to rise up and start causing crime, terrorism, riots, any of these things.
[00:22:36]  And that becomes an increasing danger as you import more and more people from across the world.
[00:22:41]  That means you're widening yourself to a larger number of possible conflicts every time you go out and take action.
[00:22:46]  That's why it's so critical before you go out and really think about addressing any issue in the world that we shore up our borders first, that we fix our deportations, our immigration problem first.
[00:22:58]  We need that order of operations because if we don't remove those threats, those internal diaspora politics from our decision-making process, then we go out and we try to do what we're doing like we're doing in Iran right now.
[00:23:10]  We open ourselves up to the possibility of the actions we've seen.
[00:23:13]  We've already seen two terror attacks since that action.
[00:23:18]  Again, whether you support that conflict or you oppose that conflict, either way, you have to recognize that as long as Islamic populations are in the United States, any foreign policy decision we make with their home nations could have very serious and violent impacts on American citizens here at home.
[00:23:34]  The whole selling point of these wars used to be we fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here.
[00:23:40]  Now we have to do both.
[00:23:43]  No, and it's really becoming something.
[00:23:47]  that is dragging on.
[00:23:49]  And as the war continues, and excuse me, special military operation, of course, that's the new euphemism from war, according to Vladimir Putin.
[00:23:56]  I was supposed to call it, this is going to become more of an issue.
[00:23:58]  Just in the last couple of minutes, you've been tweeting about this.
[00:24:02]  I've been looking at it where, you know, there's been this argument online, I guess, that people are trying to say that if you have a difference of opinion, that it feels like we're going back to 2003, that if you have a difference of opinion on strategy, that all of a sudden you're some kind of traitor.
[00:24:18]  Is that true, Arin?
[00:24:20]  No, of course not.
[00:24:21]  And this is the most frustrating thing.
[00:24:23]  Look, I will acknowledge right off the bat that there are a number of people who are vehemently anti-Trump, who position themselves as like the true America first, and they just hate Trump and they'll do or say anything they need to hurt the man.
[00:24:38]  And so I understand that those people are not acting in bad faith.
[00:24:41]  And there are many people who just want to tribute anyone who has questions or concerns about the current decisions of the administration.
[00:24:49]  They want to say, oh, well, they're just like that set of people who truly hate Donald Trump.
[00:24:53]  But you'll notice that most of Trump's very first supporters, the people who are most ardently in support of Trump from the very beginning, they continue to hold their positive opinions of the Trump administration, especially what it's been doing domestically, but they do worry about this.
[00:25:09]  And it's just like Charlie Kirk.
[00:25:11]  I know that you knew Charlie very well, and he was very clear.
[00:25:14]  His support for the president was incredibly strong.
[00:25:17]  His love for the president was very strong, but he worried about war in Iran.
[00:25:22]  And I think it's perfectly reasonable for people who continue to support the administration, continue to consider themselves part of the MAGA movement.
[00:25:28]  In many cases, we're on the ground floor of the MAGA movement.
[00:25:31]  I think it's entirely reasonable for those people to have the same concerns that Charlie Kirk did and to voice them respectfully.
[00:25:38]  There is no problem with that.
[00:25:40]  And we should allow for that.
[00:25:42]  The opinions of Charlie Kirk should be welcome in the MAGA movement.
[00:25:46]  I don't see how you could say anything else.
[00:25:49]  No, that's very clear.
[00:25:51]  And you can go back.
[00:25:52]  I certainly have and find things that Charlie said.
[00:25:55]  Because what Charlie was doing, and I've tried to make this as clear as possible, I've given some quotes to media about this as well, was he would spend four hours a day or at a time on these college campuses talking to young voters, talking to young students, talking to Gen Z, hearing what they had to say, hearing what they thought.
[00:26:13]  They would talk about Jeffrey Epstein.
[00:26:15]  They would talk about deportations.
[00:26:17]  They would talk about economic relief and they would be anti-war.
[00:26:21]  And then he would go and report that back to the administration or just say it publicly for whoever was able to hear him.
[00:26:28]  That was his point, that it wasn't some huge, you know, anti-Trump thing.
[00:26:33]  His point was, hey, if we're trying to keep this coalition together, we have to understand that there are people who really support this stuff and there are also people who really don't.
[00:26:41]  And hopefully we can find a way to balance.
[00:26:43]  Arn, what are your coordinates for everyone?
[00:26:46]  I'm over at Blaze TV.
[00:26:48]  You can get the show on YouTube or on any of your favorite podcast platforms, Rumble.
[00:26:53]  Everything's at Oren McIntyre, also on Twitter.
[00:26:57]  He had a great episode on Friday, folks, all about Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
[00:27:01]  The guest, probably the most handsome guest, smartest, cleverest that he's ever had.
[00:27:05]  Go check it out.
[00:27:06]  Human Events, right back.
[00:27:11]  Where's Jack?
[00:27:14]  Where is he?
[00:27:15]  Jack, I want to see you.
[00:27:18]  Great job, Jack.
[00:27:20]  Thank you.
[00:27:20]  What a job you do.
[00:27:22]  You know, we have an incredible thing.
[00:27:23]  We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys that be getting policy.
[00:27:32]  All right, Jack Pope Soviet, back live, Human Events Daily.
[00:27:36]  I want to go in now.
[00:27:37]  We have breaking news that's coming out on this pair of the Pennsylvania jihadists of Bucks County who conducted their bombing inside New York City.
[00:27:49]  That MYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch is now out saying that the defendants were inspired by ISIS to carry out their acts.
[00:27:58]  We had some of that before, at least from some of these comments, some of these quotes from them.
[00:28:02]  We're now hearing it straight from the MYPD commissioner herself.
[00:28:06]  New information, though, that's just coming to light, and I'm just seeing this myself breaking in real time, is that these suspects were radicalized on recent visits to the Middle East, that they were visiting Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and quote, other known terror training grounds to receive their radicalization.
[00:28:31]  Two men and a woman were taken into custody at a home in Langhorn that is worth $653,000.
[00:28:40]  And 10 agents stormed a $2.25 million home in Newtown, where Kayumi lived, where one man was detained.
[00:28:48]  I want to get Libby Emmons in here from, she's the editor-in-chief of the Postmillennial and Human Events, and she's in New York right now.
[00:28:56]  Libby, how are you?
[00:28:57]  I'm good.
[00:28:58]  Thanks.
[00:28:58]  How are you?
[00:28:59]  So tell us, you're there.
[00:29:01]  You're in New York.
[00:29:02]  You're reporting all this live.
[00:29:04]  What is the vibe in New York?
[00:29:06]  You're down at the UN.
[00:29:07]  How has this changed sort of The sense on the ground knowing that there was this, again, another radical Islamic inspired bombing in the heart of New York City.
[00:29:20]  Yeah, well, you know, people aren't really talking about it.
[00:29:23]  People are just going about their daily lives.
[00:29:25]  It's very hard to saturate New York City with any kind of incident at all.
[00:29:29]  And people typically believe if something happened across town, that didn't happen where they are and everything's fine.
[00:29:37]  And so this is something where it almost feels like the media has been downplaying it in a sense.
[00:29:43]  They were trying to say at first that Madame was the target.
[00:29:46]  And then they were trying to make this about the protests they were at, not about the fact that, hey, we have two Muslim migrant children that grew up in Pennsylvania that then traveled to the Middle East, came back to the U.S., went to New York City, and tried to construct bombs to kill people.
[00:30:04]  Libby, you're someone who, you know, what's interesting is that you have a Philadelphia and New York background.
[00:30:10]  Just walk us through that because we're looking at a situation here where people who were brought into this country after 9-11, after the war broke out in Afghanistan, were then settling in the United States who seem to have done very well for themselves, and yet their children turn out like this.
[00:30:29]  Yeah, it is really surprising, isn't it, to see that this is what's happening.
[00:30:33]  You had Mayor Mamdani, who of course is the first Muslim mayor of the city of New York.
[00:30:38]  He came out this morning in a press conference and was condemning the white supremacy that he saw at this protest.
[00:30:43]  He barely touched on the counter protesters who were, of course, the ones that were staging the violence, throwing these bombs.
[00:30:50]  So that's actually something that I think is going to impact the way people think about it in New York City.
[00:30:56]  It's going to reaffirm their progressive narratives that the real problem are the white men who stand up for America and not the, you know, Islamic, radicalized terrorists who throw bombs.
[00:31:08]  We saw that these bombs were containing incendiary material, you know, screws and nails and everything else.
[00:31:15]  So it's very dangerous.
[00:31:17]  And you have parents of these kids who are probably the people that we hear about from immigration advocates who say these people wanted to come to the United States for a better life.
[00:31:29]  One of the kids' families, Kayumi, not really kids.
[00:31:33]  I mean, I call everyone a kid who's under 30, so apologies.
[00:31:36]  But these men, they're one of the one of the men's families, their teens.
[00:31:43]  They're 18 and 19, lived in Newtown, Pennsylvania, in a multi-million dollar home.
[00:31:48]  Really looks like a beautiful home.
[00:31:49]  The other one also lives in a very nice home in Langhorne.
[00:31:52]  These homes were raided.
[00:31:54]  They probably went to American schools.
[00:31:56]  They were naturalized.
[00:31:57]  They were citizens.
[00:32:02]  Can you tell us a little bit about the hard scrabble neighborhoods of Langhorn and Newtown?
[00:32:09]  These are the audience why you're laughing when I say that.
[00:32:13]  Oh, because these are gorgeous places to live.
[00:32:15]  These are beautiful homes, safe neighborhoods, safe shopping centers, lots of kids around, good school systems, every opportunity, really privileged places to grow up.
[00:32:28]  These are places, you know, speaking as myself, and I'm not unsuccessful over here, but I could not afford to buy a home in these areas at all.
[00:32:35]  They're gorgeous, really beautiful.
[00:32:38]  The kind of places you drive by and you go, wow, that's really nice.
[00:32:41]  Terrific school districts.
[00:32:43]  So it's kind of absurd that young men like this would find such fault with an America that has provided them and their families with just so much.
[00:32:52]  You know, one of them, their family owns a business.
[00:32:55]  I'm not sure about the other one, but these are well-to-do people who have taken it upon themselves to say that they hate everything that has been given to them in this country.
[00:33:06]  They're not, these men are not looking for a better life.
[00:33:09]  They're looking to destroy things.
[00:33:11]  And in the criminal complaint that was filed by the Department of Justice, it's revealed that one of them, Amir Balat, was saying that he wanted to do more than the Boston terror bombings, that he wanted to kill more people.
[00:33:23]  He complained that only three people were killed in that incident and he wanted to do more damage.
[00:33:28]  So this is what they have learned.
[00:33:31]  I don't know if they learned this at home, if they were radicalized overseas, as the Daily Mail is now indicating, if they had taken upon themselves, which it looks like as well, to find YouTube videos and to discover ISIS on their own.
[00:33:48]  But it really is a horrific circumstance because these are the children of America at this point and they hate us and they hate the country.
[00:33:56]  No, they hate us and they hate the country.
[00:33:59]  And our good friend over at Leroy Press out of New York, he's got some reporting up, viral news NYC, where he's saying that he has reporting and he's a longtime New York reporter.
[00:34:15]  So, you know, when he says that he's got reporting, I really believe that he does.
[00:34:20]  That he is being told that seven additional persons of interest are being connected, including one that actually built the bombs.
[00:34:28]  Sources say authorities are looking into them as well as a suspect who they allegedly knew through a mosque and potentially had attended this mosque and were looking for more radicalization and had these connections.
[00:34:43]  So we're looking at a potential terror cell that we've imported.
[00:34:46]  And Libby, just what does it mean, though, when you hear so many times when we talk to these Cato Institute types and they're saying, oh, well, these people, they just want a better life.
[00:34:57]  They just want better economic conditions.
[00:34:58]  They're going to assimilate.
[00:34:59]  They're going to love it.
[00:35:00]  It's going to be awesome.
[00:35:01]  And yet I see a story like this at least once a month.
[00:35:06]  Yeah, and there was a terror bombing of this nature in 2017 where only the bomber was injured, but that also happened in New York City.
[00:35:15]  And we've seen other incidents as well.
[00:35:18]  And it's the Boston, the Boston bombers themselves.
[00:35:21]  Yes, it sure does.
[00:35:22]  And it sure does put a falsity to that narrative.
[00:35:25]  Now, there are plenty of people who do come here looking for a better life and looking for, you know, something different than what they've come from.
[00:35:34]  But this is not, this is clearly not one of those cases.
[00:35:37]  And it's perhaps true that the people who are raising their kids in America after coming to the United States are not interested in assimilating.
[00:35:46]  And that's a big problem.
[00:35:48]  Yeah.
[00:35:48]  And I have a question real quick.
[00:35:50]  And I just want to make sure that I get this out for the record.
[00:35:53]  Why haven't we executed the remaining Boston bomber yet?
[00:35:57]  Why is Jokar Zarnaev still breathing?
[00:36:01]  Why haven't we executed him yet?
[00:36:04]  This needs to be done.
[00:36:05]  It needs to be done yesterday.
[00:36:07]  It needs to be done last week.
[00:36:08]  The best time for it to have been done was, oh, I don't know, the day after he was caught in that boat.
[00:36:14]  The best time to do it is now.
[00:36:17]  I mean, Libby, you look at this stuff and it's no wonder why they look at us like a joke and they're sitting there saying, oh, we have to do better than the Boston bombers.

=== Why Haven't We Executed Him Yet? (09:55) ===

[00:36:27]  They looked at the Boston bombers as role models.
[00:36:30]  Yes, they sure did.
[00:36:32]  And these were young men who were radicalized and decided to kill a bunch of people in Boston, which is absolutely horrific that that's what's been done.
[00:36:40]  But there are not really substantial consequences.
[00:36:42]  And we have a criminal justice system that lets people off.
[00:36:45]  We've seen people get off after 30 convictions and then they go on to murder people in Fairfax, Virginia.
[00:36:52]  Another place like Newtown, super rich, super privileged, yet we have murderers just wandering around because the prosecutors couldn't be bothered to actually make sure that they stay behind bars.
[00:37:04]  It's absolutely insane what we're doing to our country.
[00:37:06]  It's like we just don't love it.
[00:37:08]  We don't care about our country.
[00:37:09]  We don't care about our children and what we're leaving for them.
[00:37:13]  And so instead, we import all kinds of people who also hate the country, who teach their children to hate the country.
[00:37:18]  And that's, that's really got to stop.
[00:37:21]  Let me just come to this.
[00:37:21]  Let me just before we go to break, let me just before we go to break, let me just say this.
[00:37:26]  All right.
[00:37:26]  And maybe it's not politically correct, but how do you think the Russians would have dealt with a couple of guys like the Boston bombers?
[00:37:34]  How do you think the Russians would have dealt with guys like this when they had that ISIS attack up in Moscow a couple years ago?
[00:37:43]  How did those guys get treated?
[00:37:46]  Yeah.
[00:37:47]  Just saying, folks, just saying, there are other options.
[00:37:52]  We'll be right back.
[00:37:57]  We're going to call this the Jack Desobic Appreciation Hour.
[00:38:00]  I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Posobiec.
[00:38:05]  And that is, I'm gonna be honest.
[00:38:12]  All right, Jack Posobiec back live.
[00:38:14]  Final segment here, Human Events Daily.
[00:38:17]  I just want to just throw this out there.
[00:38:19]  Again, how would Russia have dealt with the Boston bombers, right?
[00:38:24]  And that Crocus City Hall attack, which took place in Moscow, it's in the area of Moscow.
[00:38:30]  I want to go through and remind people of this.
[00:38:31]  Almost exactly two years ago, March 22nd, 2024, you had 150 people killed in Moscow and another 600 injured, including children, by the way, including children.
[00:38:49]  And you had smoke inhalation, bombs, AK-47s, just horrible, just completely horrible.
[00:38:58]  And we're told only four to eight people did all of that.
[00:39:02]  Just absolute horror.
[00:39:04]  And this is a scourge to the entire modern world, the entire modern world.
[00:39:10]  That's why you've got to come down on it hard and you've got to come down on it fast.
[00:39:16]  Libby Emmons, though, we are also seeing, and I haven't really done the sit-rep of this, over the weekend, we saw the burning of these oil supplies and these oil refineries in Tehran, striking images that I think reminded a lot of people of the Gulf War.
[00:39:35]  There was a report from Axios that was going around, tweeted out this morning that said that Israel was behind these Pacific bombings, but it informed the U.S. that they would conduct attacks, but the U.S. did not realize how extensive they would be.
[00:39:51]  What are we looking at when we see these attacks on oil fields, potential attacks on tankers?
[00:39:57]  Obviously, this trade of horror moves has been called into question.
[00:40:00]  Does this theme seem like it is winding up soon, or are we in the escalatory spiral?
[00:40:07]  It certainly looks escalatory to me.
[00:40:09]  And as someone who remembers watching the first Gulf War on television, I remember distinctly coming home and my stepmom was sitting there watching it on CNN with a cigarette and a look of terror on her face.
[00:40:21]  This looks kind of a little bit more like that.
[00:40:23]  I have some concerns about it.
[00:40:24]  We had Trump first come out and say that this was going to last four to five weeks.
[00:40:29]  This past week, we saw that CENTCOM in Tampa was looking at making sure that they were prepared for at least 100 days, if not into September.
[00:40:38]  So that's a substantially longer period of time.
[00:40:41]  And what we're seeing is sort of the total decimation of Iran.
[00:40:45]  I wonder what they're going to have to rebuild with when it gets to that point or if that's even part of the agenda, you know, now a week in.
[00:40:56]  So we're seeing a lot of destruction.
[00:40:58]  We're also seeing around the world.
[00:41:00]  We've seen people mourning the loss of the Ayatollah Khomeini.
[00:41:04]  We've seen Putin come out and say that he's definitely going to back the new guy.
[00:41:09]  We've seen some rallies in support of the new guy in Iran.
[00:41:14]  So it's really all up for grabs at this point.
[00:41:16]  And it's hard to, as an American who doesn't know Farsi and is not super familiar with how the Middle East operates, as most of us are over here being at the top of the food chain.
[00:41:28]  You look at this and you're not really sure what's going to happen.
[00:41:31]  And my primary concern, of course, is for our troops and for our men and women who are in harm's way.
[00:41:38]  I certainly don't want to see a bunch of our guys dying for a foreign war.
[00:41:47]  And certainly we're starting to see troop casualties and fatalities come in now.
[00:41:54]  Also, a number of medical events where deployed soldiers or even reservists, as many in these status are, have died and are not considered combat deaths.
[00:42:05]  But at the same time, we are tracking that as well.
[00:42:09]  And again, no further information.
[00:42:10]  There was one, it was a sergeant who was a reservist from the NYPD who was over there.
[00:42:16]  Another one was in Saudi, which is, we know, has also taken some fatalities.
[00:42:20]  So, again, this, there's a real question of, you know, we were told, and I'm just going to say this the way that I was told four years ago: that, you know, I remember in the first week of the Ukraine war, we were told, oh, Russia's done.
[00:42:32]  Russia can't strike back anymore.
[00:42:34]  Russia's out of missiles.
[00:42:35]  Remember that?
[00:42:35]  Russia's out of missiles.
[00:42:36]  Russia's out of missiles.
[00:42:38]  And here we are four years later still shooting missiles.
[00:42:41]  They're doing it all the time, as a matter of fact.
[00:42:44]  And continuing to, by the way, even though the gaze of the mainstream media and the gaze of the world is not really on them right now, they are increasing their attacks in Ukraine.
[00:42:53]  At the same time, so that just, I'm just going to say, you know, that colors my view and that gives me a lens through which when I hear these claims that Iran is out of missiles and Iran doesn't have any launchers anymore and Iran can't respond, it just reminds me of when I heard that four years ago from Russia.
[00:43:10]  You know what I mean?
[00:43:11]  Yeah, I sure do.
[00:43:12]  And now we also have Zelensky offering to come in and help the United States take down these Shahed missiles because Iran has been delivering the Shahed missiles to Russia and then the Ukraine has been taking them down using, I believe, United States munitions.
[00:43:27]  And now they're teaching us how to use our own munitions to take down the same drones that they've been fighting for the past few years.
[00:43:35]  So it's all sort of coming together.
[00:43:36]  We have a whole full circle thing going on here.
[00:43:39]  But yes, I am with you on that.
[00:43:41]  I do have some concerns.
[00:43:43]  This is going to last far past September.
[00:43:46]  And my primary interest in securing America and making sure that domestically Americans have everything they need, lower gas prices, affordable groceries, and accessible housing, because that's what really matters to us.
[00:44:02]  When you see this question of the gas prices, this has come up, President Trump truthed about it.
[00:44:08]  He says, look, we might be taking a temporary increase now, but it's going to achieve. world peace.
[00:44:15]  When you look out at the U.S., do you think that's something that's going to have cachet with people?
[00:44:21]  Or is it going to tide people over if this thing only goes a month?
[00:44:26]  What are your is your response to that?
[00:44:28]  Well, I remember when Joe Biden came out a few years ago and started talking about, what was it, like transitory interest rates and said that it was just going to be very temporary.
[00:44:36]  Transitory inflation.
[00:44:37]  We're all paying like, yeah.
[00:44:38]  And then the next thing we know, we're all paying like $12 for a box of organic eggs at the grocery store.
[00:44:43]  And we're like, what is this?
[00:44:45]  What is even going on?
[00:44:46]  And that lasted for some time, as did the high gas prices.
[00:44:50]  And the high gas prices only came down when Biden decided to release a bunch of our strategic oil reserves.
[00:44:56]  Trump has vowed to refill them.
[00:44:58]  So I'm not really sure what's going to happen with that.
[00:45:01]  But Americans primarily care about America, about securing our homeland.
[00:45:05]  And I do also have some concerns about any potential sleeper cells that are out there.
[00:45:10]  You know, we don't necessarily know who's come into our country.
[00:45:13]  We don't know at all over the past four years, what, 20,000 people pretty much unaccounted for.
[00:45:19]  We've definitely had some removals.
[00:45:20]  We've had people self-deporting.
[00:45:22]  But my guess is that anyone who's come into this country with the explicit intention of harming it has probably decided to stay put.
[00:45:29]  So that's something that I worry about as well.
[00:45:31]  So when you have that, and people who are radicalizing in Newtown PA, you know, there's cause for alarm.
[00:45:40]  Well, and Libby, I want to say this, that, you know, during, at the time of his arrest, this is from the indictment, Balot was carrying a Pennsylvania driver's license and PA address after the arrest several blocks south, LA, identified that he had a New Jersey license plate in a car that was registered to one of his family members.
[00:45:58]  Data from plate readers show that just about one hour before the device was thrown that they crossed the George Washington Bridge upper level.
[00:46:09]  So could you imagine a couple of guys with these, you know, again, improvised explosive devices, so devices that are inherently unstable, imagine if they had gone off not at Gracie Mansion, but on the bridge.

=== Radicalizing in Newtown PA (01:22) ===

[00:46:23]  Yeah, right.
[00:46:24]  I mean, that's sort of devastating.
[00:46:25]  And we're not the only ones with this kind of imagination.
[00:46:28]  People who hate our country have this kind of extensive imagination as well.
[00:46:32]  And we do have a lot of targets that are pretty vulnerable, you know, because we live in a peaceful and beautiful country for the most part, where we can trust that our infrastructure, again, for the most part, is going to stay standing.
[00:46:46]  So, yeah, I'm with you on that.
[00:46:48]  And I wonder how much stomach the American people have for any kind of further long-drawn-out engagement, specifically in the Middle East, where we have so many bad memories and where we only just recently extracted ourselves from Afghanistan with a loss of 13 of our U.S. Armed Forces members on that day in August 2021.

[00:47:23]  All right.
[00:47:23]  And folks, I want to be very clear that there's no question that the Iranian regime is an Islamic radical regime.
[00:47:30]  That is what they exist to do.
[00:47:33]  They exist to foment the radical revolution.
[00:47:36]  But of course, just like any other situation, the devil is always in the details.
