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... Yesterday I saw for the first time what a massive disconnect there was between social media and the real world. Because...

We were flooded with phone calls from people all day, literally around the world. Very positive, very supportive. And I don't think you need to sit down for 90 minutes

at Mar-a-Lago and kiss his ring to be able to speak truth and to be able to cover a story. I'm amazed. I did not expect Hitler to get so many meeting requests, first from Joe Biden, now from Mika and Joe. It's amazing that literal Hitler is getting all these meeting requests. And what it tells me, Professor, is that all the rhetoric that came from the left, from the Democrats, from the White House, from Kamala Harris and everyone else before the election, all of the rhetoric, the

the fascism, the Hitler, the Nazi rally, it was all a bunch of BS. Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruled yesterday that ballots with an inaccurate date or no date written on the return envelope cannot be counted. Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy has just been named the first secretary of transportation. Would you as governor allow state police and National Guard to carry out mass deportations?

We will not be participating in misguided efforts that harm our communities. The election that we just had was a repudiation of the status quo, an overly regulated system that is no longer responsive or delivering for the needs of the people. Ukraine fired six U.S.-made missiles here at Russia's Bryansk region. We have never been closer

to World War III than we are today under Joe Biden. A global conflict between nuclear-armed powers would mean death and destruction on a scale unmatched in human history. It would be nuclear Armageddon.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We are live here in Palm Beach. The Mar-a-Lago editions of Human Events Daily continue. Today is 11-19-20-24 Anno Domini. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we've now found out that, as it turns out, Russia...

has been attacked by Ukraine using long-range American missiles. We told you this was coming yesterday. We said that it was likely to occur. We said that there was no question that this was a massive escalation on their end. There's been question on the end of Ukraine and the United States. The Biden administration giving this authorization is

And yet we know they're on their way out. They're leaving office. So if they're leaving office, why go and escalate things like this? President Trump is on his way in. They've already said that they weren't briefed on this whatsoever. You got Mike Waltz, the incoming national security advisor says he hasn't been briefed on any of this.

Biden's hanging out in the Amazonian jungle somewhere in the rainforest. Can't even find him for the G20 photo. No one has any clue where this is actually coming from or what's actually going on. And we've got the same situation, by the way, over in the state of Pennsylvania. What do I mean? We have no idea what's actually going on because the Democrat governor there, Josh Shapiro, has put out... So late last night, he put out this letter and I put a video up on X because...

He's essentially defending the four counties of Pennsylvania that have continued this illegal violation of law, counting votes that should never have been counted. These provisional ballots that don't have the proper signatures, don't have proper dates. They've been ordered once by the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court to not count.

count them. They said we're going to violate that order. So the Pennsylvania Supreme Court came down again and said you need to stop immediately.

They said no. And then late last night, Josh Shapiro puts out this letter saying, oh, there's a lack of clarity. There's a lack of clarity on what's going on. Here's what the lack of clarity is. The lack of clarity is Josh Shapiro refuses to actually step up and do something that

When it's his own side, when it's his own people that are doing it, when it's Democrats that are doing it, when it's Democrats that are involved, he's not going to step up. So, Josh, how are you supposed to be president of the United States? How are you supposed to be the guy who's Mr. President if you won't step up?

Stand up to your own party. You're going to stand up to Xi Jinping. You're going to stand up to Vladimir Putin. You're going to stand up to North Korea. No, you can't even stand up to local county officials and county commissioners. It's a joke. You're a joke. And you are absolutely going down. Stay tuned, folks. We've got a great show coming up. Tony Schaefer coming up next. Darren Beattie after that. Right back. Human Events Daily continues.

I want to bring on now, I wish we were under better circumstances, but we've got Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer joining us. Tony, how are you, man? Hey, good morning. Good afternoon, Jack. Good to be with you. Thank you for having me.

Well, I've got to say, so, you know, here we are. The election has ended. The votes are still being counted in a couple of counties, but we're going to work on that. And yet we were told that peace was going to win, that President Trump was the peace candidate. And the idea was that his win would bring peace, not just to the various simmering wars out there, but also to Ukraine, Russia.

And certainly we hoped that the peace plan would be in place. President Trump said that he's going to be working on that specifically. And I'm sure he is, by the way, on ending it before he actually takes office. But it seems that one of the parting shots, literally in this case, that Joe Biden has delivered is these attack on long range missiles, which have now been given authorization by the United States to attack Iran.

deep into Russia. We saw this last night or early this morning, depending on where you are, where a

A weapons facility, ammo stockpile, was hit by the Ukrainians deep within, this is in the internationally recognized borders of Russia, with U.S.-NATO weapons. Tony, what is going on, and are we seeing an escalation here before a de-escalation, or does this have the possibility of causing a situation to spill out of control?

I think it's the latter. So note where we're at. First, this isn't Biden. This is Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan attempting to box President Trump into having to deal with an expanded war. That's what's going on. This is about expansion, not giving the Ukrainians leverage. This is about potentially moving us towards World War III. That's what the neocons want. That's what they've always wanted.

And keep in mind here, Jack, how many times have we been told if the Ukrainians just get this one more weapon, just get this one more tool, they're going to win? We were told that over a year ago, we were told the M1s was going to do it, we're going to do it, the F-16s.

This is all about drawing this out. And ultimately, they thought they were going to continue this into a Kamala Harris administration. Well, they can't. So this is their last shot. This is what they've got left. They've got $9 billion to play with. They've got this policy to use. And let me be very clear on this. I'm not pro-Putin, but I am pro-reality. The Russians have said there's two red lines that they will not allow us to cross. First is

No membership in NATO for Ukraine. Well, that's not going to happen. Not anytime soon, if ever. Secondly, don't allow advanced weapons to be used in Russia past the 2014 borders. And we have, they have. So that's why you saw a very public revision of the nuclear strike policy of the Russians yesterday. And now there's a potential for that to be used. And

Let me be clear on this, Jack. We've talked about this before. What if Putin decides to use a nuclear weapon in Kursk on their own territory? What are they going to do? They have that right. The Ukrainians have invaded. So what's to prevent Putin from taking out, you know, three or four thousand Ukrainians in one 15 kiloton Hiroshima-sized strike just to make a point? Secondly, what are we going to do if he hits Ukraine? Because again, there's no policy for that. So

The West is, what's the sailing? Mess around and find out. So we're about to find out how much poking the bear in the eye is going to benefit anybody. But I see this as an attempt to get Trump boxed in so he has to maintain the war no matter what. That's what I think is really going on.

Well, I think that's right as well. And so the idea being then is they're looking for they're looking for Russia to essentially have that response. Then, isn't it? They're trying to provoke a bigger response. Meanwhile, what we're seeing with Russia is and this has to be said because we haven't really done an update on this in a minute. But Russia at this point.

And there's something that if you go and read some of the Russian hardliners right now, what they're saying is, why should we negotiate at all? Why negotiate when we are winning? And if you look on the ground, Russia is currently taking more territory in Ukraine than they did even at the beginning of the war, which is now almost three years ago. And so...

That could very well be what we're looking for is a potential – they're looking to provoke that response. They want Russia to respond. They want them to come back to create a situation where President Trump has to continue the status quo rather than seek a peace deal because if Russia commits –

commits to some larger action, then the entire media is going to be blowing down his neck saying, you've got to stay the course. How can you, you know, how can you seek peace with the guy who, you know, blew up Odessa or something? Not that the Russians would do that. But again, that seems to be what they're trying to provoke. Tony, what's going on? Well, look, again, we're in a gray area here. I don't think the Russians are going to take the bait. But then again, I think they could do something, as I mentioned,

If they so chose to set off a tactical nuke on Russian territory, what are we going to do? What would the West do? What if they take out that brigade of Ukrainians near Kursk? Just saying. I mean, what would we do? And I think that's the thing we have to face here is that the Russians are deadly serious about this.

I think Trump reaching out is the only hope of keeping this from expanding. That is to say that he's reached out to the leaders. I think he's got the potential to lower this. And I think if I have not talked to the Trump folks at all, I've not talked to the president. But instinctively, I think what I would do if I were President Trump is just say, look,

Biden's compromised, that's why they didn't let him run. You've got uncontrolled, unaccountable bureaucrats in the form of Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, who his best destiny is to go back to being a Democrat operative, not even pretending he understands national security. Those are the guys in charge. Those are the ones provoking this. Give us until 20 January before you take any serious response.

kind of take it on the chin right now is what he's probably going to be telling him. So I think Putin is smart enough to understand that the United States under Trump would be very serious about negotiating. I think we just have to get to 20 January without any major escalation, which is going to be the challenge. By the way, another thing I said, Jack, on your show is that the maximum time of danger is from, if Trump wins, is from the 6th of November to the 20th of January, because the deep state

They're already doing it. I think they thought they were going to win. They lost. Now they're going through the different options they have to provoke Trump and to keep the war going. And also, I think they're going to do something domestically before the 20th of January as well. Well, on the other side of it is that President Trump, yes, he's not currently in power. He's President-elect Trump. But at the same time, he's got a phone.

Right. Pick up the phone. We know that he's spoken with Zelensky already since he was since he won the election. We know that he's spoken with Vladimir Putin, that it came out a couple of days after it actually took place. Pick up the phone. Just say, call me. Say, let's have the conversation. Let's get this. Let's get this sort of. And for all we know, by the way, they could already be doing this.

Of course, by the way, this is similar to how General Flynn, the incoming NSA the first time around, was wrapped up talking to Sergey Kislyak about various negotiations and policies that they were trying to get across to the Russians and say, hey, this is what we're going to do. This is what we are on these various things. And they tried to wiretap him on the Logan Act and go after him on all this stuff just because he was having the basic conversation. So.

Yeah.

Both lads, I guess, Vlad and Vlad, right? Get both in here and say, let's get on the phone. Conference us in. You can merge the call. You could you can merge it up there. Have the translators. I don't know. And actually have a conversation about ending this thing. Last minute in this segment, Tony Schaefer. Well, we have a situation akin to a movie that I like from the 60s called Bailsafe.

Bailsafe saw essentially a series of bad decisions and events lead to a strike against Russia. It's kind of mirror imaging that. It's not the exact one-for-one analogy. But I'm just saying, Jack, miscalculation is the biggest enemy of reality right now, either side. We know that we have knuckleheads, Blinken and Sullivan,

Lloyd Austin, all out of their element. We have to have steady hands, steady heads work through this. If not, we could see World War III. But I like to believe President Trump with his phone will prevent that. All right, we'll see. Hopefully he does. This is Human Events Daily continues. When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Bosobic.

All right, Jack Posubic back live here, Human Events Daily. Folks, the world is on edge right now. This year, we've seen the media stroke animosity to the point of violence.

weaponization of our legal system, political instability. We have no idea what's coming next. That's why I train with I target pro using a laser bullet and app. You can practice safely with your actual weapon in the privacy and convenience of your own home. I target pro comes in most calibers from nine millimeter to two to three. So you can train with almost any firearm. This is why competitive shooters, military and police rely on dry fire drills as part of their training. Look,

I use dry fire training. I was trained to do that in the Navy. You guys should too. iTarget Pro is a great way to do this. And by the way, no bullets. It's used with a basic laser bullet in your own gun. So not only that, but iTarget Pro will save you a ton of money on ammo and range fees. It allows you to practice, by the way, any time you want and more efficiently. So go to trainwithposo.com and save 10% plus get free shipping on your iTarget Pro system.

Don't get fooled by knockoffs. Get the original dry fire training system this Christmas, and we've set it up. It's a great gift for all the guys in your family, by the way. So this Christmas, we've set up the website trainwithposo.com. Train safe, train smart, train with iTarget. That's trainwithposo.com, trainwithposo.com.

Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, who we're speaking with about Ukraine, Russia, the escalation that's going on over there. There's something that you mentioned in the last segment that I wanted to come back to. You mentioned about something happening domestically, domestically before President Trump takes office, that something could be done by potentially one of these breakaway groups to because they don't want.

They don't want a peace deal between Russia, Ukraine or various other. I mean, there's certainly other motives, but that is obviously one of the biggest ones. When you talk about something happening domestically, what are you getting at? What could happen? So, look, right now, President Trump is appointing individuals, many of them, you know, you and I both know, who aren't part of the deep state. Marco Rubio is kind of the closest to the neocons of the group.

And these people aren't going to be held back by convention, I guess, to put it politely. Well, I think people are now assessing, Jack, what they need to do regarding maintaining the, not democracy, but the bureaucracy. Remember, you and I talk about the bureaucracy all the time. Well, the bureaucracy has a vote. And their vote is, yeah, we don't want to go along with the change that's coming. We see the change, we don't like it. Well, I've gotten calls from officers saying,

at the Pentagon and other commands saying, is Trump serious about strengthening the military and doing all these things? My answer is yeah, absolutely. And they say they don't want to retire because they see a light in the tunnel. Others, Jack, are afraid of that light because they're going to be run over by the train that's going to be behind that light. So what I'm saying is,

while you have officials, both political appointees, as well as career bureaucrats who recognize that these people coming in, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hicksteth, potentially Matt Gaetz,

They ain't going to play the old game. They ain't going to play the, oh, we're just going to be here a few years and get along. It's like their job is to disrupt. And when they start disrupting, these people are going to be in trouble. So what I'm saying is based on the premise I just laid out, they're going to get more desperate. They're going to look at options they have to either prevent

President Trump from coming in, taking the oath of office on the 20th of January, or something that disrupts the American economy to make it so that it's ungovernable. I think they're looking at options right now. So that's what I'm saying. I have nothing specific, but I've talked to Jerry Corsi, Dr. Jerry Corsi and I share this concern that within the next two weeks, they're going to start developing options

and sharpen their intentions to do something between, I'd say the 1st of January to the 20th of January to prevent Trump from coming into power. I don't know what that is, but I think the more they see the writing on the wall, Jack, the more they see their potential criminal investigations of their activities, the more desperate they're going to be. And desperate people do desperate things.

Well, Tony, not only do we have Matt Gaetz to look forward to as attorney general, should that confirmation cross the line, but we should probably chat a little bit about the potential of Tulsi Gabbard coming in as the DNI, the seat of James Clapper, the anointed seat of James Clapper, because people over there are terrified.

Absolutely terrified of her. And I would argue, and I've said this before, I'll say it here, that Tulsi Gabbard is someone who probably actually terrifies them even more at DNI than Matt Gaetz over at DOJ. Walk me through why that is.

Well, the DNI is a nexus of all clandestine and intelligence collection operations. While they don't have budgetary control, and you and I have spoken about this issue, John Lehman and Ambassador Negroponte put together the concept. It's State Department heavy. But with that said, the DNI has no budgetary control, but they see everything.

and they basically do management oversight of the entire community. So that means, Jack, she sees the stuff that goes under Title 10, which is traditional military activities, black operations. I don't know if your audience is aware, you and I've talked about this, most of what we consider black operations are hidden within the Pentagon's budget. She's going to see that.

there are operations that are very, very restricted, she'll see it. And one of the things Mike Flynn did tell me when he was going to be going into the National Security job is that he had been briefed on all these programs, highly expensive, but very dubious regarding focus, these programs. Well, she's going to get a look at those and she'll be able to make decisions on what is ethical, what is moral, and most importantly, what is legal.

And it's going to be a difficult thing for a lot of people within the intelligence community, all 17 or 18 agencies now, to have someone looking at everything they're doing. And oh, by the way, Jack, I'm going on record, they're going to try to hide things from her. Well, I like to believe she's going to pick some people to help her bird dog and track those things down as they start trying to hide these things they don't want her to see. It's going to be very important.

Well, I think that's exactly right. I mean, you think of it, right? You're going to have the entire, so D&I is run out of LX1, Liberty Crossing 1, and then there's LX2 over there as well in Roslyn, Virginia, in the Fairfax, you know, that real deep state area towards Langley outside of Washington, D.C. And this is going to be, I mean, I'm just going to have to say it, the entire building is going to be hostile to her.

to her. The entire building is going to be hostile to her. They are going to try to prevent her from taking office. They are going to, now they, they might be, uh, you know, polite when they see her, they're going to be, uh, and when I say prevent her from taking office, I mean, from effectively carrying out the mission that she's been given by president Trump. And, and here's what they really don't like about Tulsi Gabbard. She's a truth teller.

It's as simple as that. She's just a truth teller. She's someone who looks at the facts and says, this is obviously true and this is obviously not. And she's not going to put up with any of the BS. They're going to try rope-a-dope. They're going to try deception. And you're absolutely right. And I've even, look, I put this out on Twitter last night.

that I got a message saying that there's already these hashtag resistance blue and on types that are talking about sanitizing PDBs. They're talking about sanitizing, uh, any information that goes up, which by the way is already, uh,

You know, already a pretty common practice in the intelligence community, you know, typically before anything gets briefed to the president or anyone in Congress, they're making sure that it already sits with whatever political ideology or basically whatever their political leanings are. So they want this...

reality done. They want this effect done. That's the one that they're going to brief to, not whatever the actual intelligence says. But what Tulsi has the ability to do is cut through that with a wide swath to say, wait a minute, this is what

Is in the best interest of the United States. And what you guys are telling us is completely at odds with all of that. Tell me over there at DNI, what are, what are some of the things that you could, you would expect her to do when she is actually uncovering some of the things when she has her fingers on the keys there?

Well, the first thing you said, Jack, is the premise she has to go in and examine. CIA has become an organization that focuses on collecting information and presenting it to match political aspirations, not ground truth reality. That's why they are failing so badly. Oh, by the way, CIA is the one largely running the on-ground war in Ukraine. So there's a clue for you.

So she's going to have to sort through and figure out the lay of the land. She's going to have to find people who are on the inside, who are fed up with what's going on. I know of some people who I think would be signing up immediately to help her out. Others are going to try to hide stuff. She's got to look for internal truth-tellers who can help her. I think she's going to find them. Secondly, there's about three different centers of gravity she has to get control of immediately.

I don't want to say those on the air, but I'm telling you right now, you as a former intelligence guy like me, you probably know what those three centers of gravity are. Once you capture those, you have a pretty good understanding of who's doing what and who's trying to hide stuff and where they hit it.

If she can do those two things, find internal truth tellers, get control of the centers of gravity, she has a pretty good shot within about three months of having a real clear picture of what's going on. That's just the beginning. Just to get a picture is going to take three months. And then you've got to bring in people who can then investigate, go down the rabbit holes,

and start looking for all of these things that she's responsible for. So she's going to have to have a team of about 12 people who are completely loyal to her, loyal to the Constitution and the president to go in and do the actual investigations, which would take another year. So it'll take her 18 months to get a handle over what's going on. Couldn't agree more. Tony Schaefer, where can people go to follow you, to get access to your writings, and to see what you're up to next?

Just project, project sentinel.com. And of course, X, where we're always stirring up trouble, Jack. So it's always great to join you. Thanks for being here. I mean, thanks for having me on and joining you for all these great discussions.

No, these are great, man. And it's, I'm glad we're able to get you on, on Ukraine. And, and I just think, I got to say it again, Tulsi Gabbard, I think is more terrifying to the real, the real beltway critters and cockroaches of the deep state when it comes to the intelligence community, when it comes to Clapper, she's the one they're really worried about because Gates, they're going to say, all right, we're going to try to get rid of this guy, but her over at DNI, because Clapper gave it so much power.

power, suddenly they never thought that that power would be given to someone who actually wanted to tell the truth. Stay tuned right back. Darren Beattie joins us next. And Jack, where's Jack? Where's Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you.

Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting policies. All right, Jack, we're back live here, Human Events Daily. Folks, after Roe v. Wade fell, the abortion industry radically changed their tactics. Today, their top scheme is brainwashing the most vulnerable minds, those of young people.

Planned Parenthood and their cronies target college, high school, and even middle school students through academic indoctrination, social media algorithms, and downright lies. In fact, 9 out of 10 Planned Parenthood abortion clinics are within walking distance of a college campus. But you can stop these merchants of death from poisoning the heart of your child or grandchild before it's too late. That's why I'm partnering with Students for Life of America.

I need you to get a free copy of their amazing new guidebook called 10 Ways to Keep Your Kids Pro-Life. Just go to studentsforlife.com slash poso right now for your free copy. This booklet gives you step-by-step instructions to ensure your loved ones don't get ensnared by the pro-abortion left or worse, abort their child.

Students for Life is the only national organization galvanizing the next generation to stand against the evils of abortion. So go to studentsforlife.com slash poso to get your free guidebook now. That's studentsforlife.com slash poso. All right, guys, we've got Darren Beattie on now because we mentioned Matt Gaid. We talked about Tulsi Gabbard.

in the last segment, but we mentioned Matt Gates and this is the one we've got to get into. So Darren's here and he's got a brand new article all about the man. Darren, how are you? Doing great. So you've got the piece up revolver.news, the swamps, worst nightmare, how AG Matt Gates can make the DOJ great again. Talk to us about your new piece. And look, you and I did the show here last week, uh,

We were in person and it was just, I think, like five minutes after the show ended that this nuclear explosion went off from just across the bay here at Mar-a-Lago, directly targeting Washington, D.C., like an attackum's missile of political justice. That being the pick of Matt Gaetz as attorney general. Walk us through the piece.

Absolutely. Well, first I want to kind of set the table as to why this is so significant, why this position out of all the rest. And, you know, part of

Part of our job, unfortunately, over the past several years, really since Trump entered the political arena, has been to chronicle the sorry and really tragic trend of every single institution in our country being corrupted, repurposed, and weaponized for the nefarious function of Biden regime going after his political enemies. Really even going back to Obama, if you want to look at the first transition.

And the intelligence community is obviously implicit in this at the highest levels. At the same time, there's a certain sense in which we expect a dirtiness associated with the intelligence community.

We only hope that at least sometimes, maybe, just maybe, the intelligence professionals can for once apply that dirtiness to something that's of benefit to America's interests and the interests of the American people. We want them to apply the dirtiness

to promote America rather than conspire against American people. But I think the Justice Department is in a separate category. It's in a category that's far more central to our self-conception as Americans. And therefore, the corruption of the Justice Department is of a different and I would say more important category.

It was only when the Biden-Harris administration started targeting its political enemies, for instance, that we started hearing this term "banana republic" floating around, referring to this once great country. And so for that reason, I think that fixing the Department of Justice, restoring genuine rule of law to this country is the precondition for the broader task of cleaning up all of the other bureaucracies.

This is the first and most critical step toward cleaning up the swamp and restoring legitimacy in our institutions. That's why I think just in its essence, this position is the most important. Politically, we've learned, and Trump has certainly learned, that a weak, a cowardly AG, a disloyal AG can be the Achilles heel of an administration. And it's not just about

not doing the important work that needs to be done in justice.

You have an attorney general who isn't willing to stand up for the president and for the program and for the mandate that can cripple the entire administration's ability to fulfill its function. It can suck all the bandwidth out, all the energy out with the Russia, Russia nonsense and so forth. Trump has learned that. And I think that's one of the reasons that he's so unwavering and so committed to ensuring the

confirmation of Matt Gaetz. Now we get to why is Gaetz the person to do this? Why is he the indispensable man for the indispensable job? Well, I don't think there's anyone in the country who better combines unwavering, demonstrated, repeated loyalty, not only Trump, but the MAGA agenda,

acute intelligence and legal expertise and the ability to navigate the complexities of something like the DOJ. And thirdly, and not least, is that he arguably more than anybody other than Trump has experienced the brunt of the very corruption, the very weaponization of the Justice Department that he soon will be in a position to correct.

But I think the confluence of these criteria, these three factors, means that he's really the only person to do it. And I think we were so blown away when this announcement was made. And I think that signals something. The Gates appointment

sets the entire tone for the rest of the appointments. The Gates appointment sets the narrative in which we understand how serious the whole suite of appointments actually are in terms of commitment to the agenda and the mandate.

And so this is why I think Trump is 100 percent committed to making this happen and why all of us absolutely need to redouble our energies and ensure that every single senator understands there is no compromise here. There is no wavering here. You go with Gates or it's absolute Armageddon.

And that's that's really a big piece of this. And we've seen, you know, some people say, hey, this is a tall order. The New York Times had a piece out where they think even even even Trump is saying so apparently behind the scenes. Look, we understand that it's uncontroverted, that it is unconventional.

But at the same time, America elected an unconventional president. They did so because we are in unconventional times. Certainly, Matt Gaetz is an unconventional pick for attorney general. That's the point. The point is you want someone who's a disruptor. And I've seen a lot of folks from Speaker Johnson on down saying, look,

Presidents get their nominees. And from the very first minute, one of the things that I did was I posted a list of all the Republicans, Darren, that voted in the Senate for Merrick Garland. So if you could vote for Merrick Garland, then why would you have a problem voting for Matt Gaetz? What was interesting is that the Republicans who voted for Merrick Garland are also the ones who are most likely to not want to vote for Matt Gaetz. It's funny how that works, isn't it?

Of course. Well, that's the thing is these senators need to be spoken to in the language that they understand. That is, if you don't, you are done.

And I think it's also important saying, yes, Matt Gaetz is the man for this job. Yes, he will bring disruption where it's necessary. Yes, he will restore legitimacy to the institution. And that requires a bit of rearrangement, a bit of disruption. But he's not somebody who is reckless. He's a disruptor. He's not reckless. He's not someone who goes in and willy-nilly does this. He's a very precise surgical

an intelligent approach to everything he does. He thinks very strategically. And also he's willing, he's very open-minded and there've even been pieces about why people on the left have things to like about him in terms of

a lot of the things he's done. So the characterization, he's a disruptor, but there's absolutely no reason why any senator should oppose this. They should all confirm. And I think, as Steve Bannon put it very well, and that is,

Quick break. We're back with Darren Beattie on Matt Gaetz's nomination, Human Events Daily.

Jack is a great guy. He's written a fantastic book. Everybody's talking about it. Go get it. And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event. And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again. Amen.

All right, Jack Prasubic back here, Human Events Daily. The Mar-a-Lago editions continue here on the program. We're speaking with Darren Beattie about the really just seminal nomination of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, a historic nomination, certainly. Darren,

So let's talk past the sale a little bit here. So, you know, okay, can Gates get past the nomination confirmation process? Sure. Let's say it all goes through or this recess appointment plan goes through as well.

Let's say he's sitting there. He's main justice. He is the, you know, the attorney general. What does he do? What, what, what is, what is the goal of Matt Gaetz just simply being there? And, and okay, he turns off obviously some of this fake lawfare, but what tools are actually at his disposal when he takes the reins of power?

Absolutely. Great question. And we could go on for hours about this, but the piece in question at revolver.news at the very top goes through some, I think, creative approaches that would have a tremendously positive effect on the country. So I'll just go over a few of them.

One, make the First Amendment great again. In the previous administration there was a religious liberty task force at the DOJ. I think there should be and will be a First Amendment task force at the Department of Justice, which is sort of a nerve center for all the legal efforts to defend the First Amendment. That could be done in conjunction with a

kind of a widespread revelation of files like the Twitter files that do expose potentially criminal behavior on behalf of people that can then be prosecuted. So basically a nerve center within DOJ to defend

Americans' constitutional right in the First Amendment. Second one is even more innovative and I think very interesting. And this has to do with an expansion of the False Claims Act.

So there's something called the False Claims Act that's typically used in relation to tax law and some medical law. Basically, it allows potential whistleblowers to have legal standing to expose fraudulent behavior against the government.

And if that fraudulent behavior is exposed and money is recovered, the whistleblower in question is entitled to a percentage of those recovered fees. So it creates a pretty compelling financial incentive. So for instance, you rat out somebody who's cheating on taxes, you can get a percentage of the recovered funds. There's no reason in the origin and history of this law that

that it has to have this narrow application. So one application that I would advocate is to universities. You know, it's legal now, as determined by the Supreme Court, to engage in affirmative action, racial discrimination.

And many of the government grants that are given to universities are done so on the basis and understanding that the universities are compliant with constitutional law in this regard. So why not give whistleblowers a financial incentive to expose where the law is not being followed in this regard and cut to the core and destroy universities who are not complying with this constitutional mandate to not discriminate racially

against certain Americans. So that's just one example there. Another example, correct the Doug Mackey case. I think there's a lot of things can be done there. That's an important First Amendment precedent. I expect Mackey will get a pardon, but the DOJ can do one better and just vacate the case entirely and possibly even provide compensation. I think Peter Strzok and these others were given like a million dollars as a sorry from the government

If they're entitled to that, then why not somebody like Mackey? No question. And Darren, I should mention real quick on Doug Mackey that he came on this program about a week ago and said that he's actually has requested that the president hold off on pardoning him because he is seeking to have it overturned on a

Right.

Yes, yes. And if it doesn't go the way, then there's a question, do you wait for the Supreme Court? But the DOJ can do something to vacate and also provide compensation. And they should absolutely do that as in furtherance of the First Amendment, defense of the First Amendment. The next idea, the Great Transparency Project, release all the files pertaining to Russiagate January 6th.

Oklahoma City, the whole suite of it. By the way, Oklahoma City will implicate Merrick Garland. Not just to give American people the truth, but I think a real accounting in this regard is critical, a critical step towards restoring legitimacy. You know, the purpose of all of this is not disruption. The purpose is going through the necessary and difficult steps

toward restoring much-needed legitimacy to these institutions. American people need to trust our institutions again. And to do this, we need to be honest with the American people about the crimes that have been committed in the name of these institutions. So release those files.

Go after New York. There's a whole cartel in New York of weaponized prosecutions. There's things that we recommend to go after New York, go after the Bragg mafia, go after Latita James mafia and so forth. Another one's interesting. Farah. The first time that Farah had been weaponized politically is going after people associated with Trump.

But I think there's a very legitimate use for FARA in the cases that we've learned about recently of basically people acting as agents of certain European governments to promote censorship here in the United States.

foreign governments in Europe this time basically promoting people to go to the United States and advocate the violation of our First Amendment rights. In fact, one of our favorite women, Nina Yankovic, has kind of protected herself now and become an agent of the UK government. Certain other people haven't. So I think we should use Farah where appropriate in order to defend the country against foreign agents advocating for censorship.

And lastly, we need to investigate organizations like the SPLC. We need to, of course, first of all, sever all relationships between the DOJ, the FBI, and the SPLC. We should not rely on their reporting for anything. We should not lend any credence to their definition of extremism.

But we go further and find out, investigate their potential criminal activity. So, again, I couldn't agree more, Darren, that we're just about out of time, man. But I can't wait. The future looks bright with DOJ Matt Gaetz. Go check it out. Revolver dot news. It's right at the top. And ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
