This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobec. Christ is king. Israel launching retaliatory strikes inside Gaza and threatening more after accusing Hamas of violating their peace agreement. 14 narco terrorists just became fish food.

These strikes are turning up the pressure on Venezuelan dictator Nicola Maduro. Along with a stepped up US Military presence in the region. The justice department announced a $50 million reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest. A key U.S. senator warning on 60 Minutes. Maduro's running out of time. President Trump is in South Korea this morning for the third and final stop on his tour of the region. The president's arrival last night came after North Korea announced it test fired sea to surface cruise missiles off its western coast. Now, despite the escalation, South Korea's leader put on a lavish welcome for President Trump. You see it here awarding him the country's highest honor as the pair are set to work on ironing out a trade deal. Meanwhile, attention is also on President Trump's highly anticipated meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping Thursday, a meeting the president is optimistic will garner results. I think we're going to have a deal. I think it'll be a good deal for, for both. And that's really a great result. The world is watching and I think we'll have something that's very exciting for everybody. In the most consequential election the city has seen in recent memory. It's a race the whole country is watching. A new Suffolk University poll of likely voters shows him trailing Mamdani by 10 percentage points. And Gothamist crunched some numbers, did some analysis of early voting data, and what Gotham has came up with is that more than half of those who voted early this weekend are 55 and older. Experts say that could be an encouraging sign for Cuomo. The Jersey gubernatorial candidate Mikey Sherrill taking her campaign on the road. The Democrat just kicked off a bus tour called Driving Down Costs.

Jack Posobec
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events daily. Today is October 29, 2025, Anno Domini, the American Stasi. Now, we've done enough programs here on Human Events Daily fighting against the FBI's recklessness, reckless work and reckless just complete disdain for the law and disdain for political opponents and targeting political opponents last year and now we've got the receipts. I want to get into all of that today. And we will with a J. Sixer himself who will be joining us. Want to tell you right now, by the way, that before I forget, tonight the big party is on down in Ole Miss and huge event tonight. If you can't be there, make sure you are watching this. Make sure you're locked in. J.D. vance, the Vice President of the United States, along with Erica Kirk, our CEO at Turning Point usa, are going to be on stage together down at Ole Miss. So today is the day that Charlie would have been there. This, of course, was at the University of Mississippi, it right there in Jackson. And this would have been would have been when Charlie was arriving. This is obviously his new we've reformatted the tour and it's incredible to see Vice President J.D. vance and the new CEO of Turning Point USA, Erica Kirk, will be appearing live and I'm told the vice president at least will be taking questions. Not sure if Erica will take questions or not. We'll have to see exactly how the format goes. But it's incredible that they're both going to be there. And as far as I know, I've checked in on this. As far as I know, this might be the first time that Erica has done a campus tour before or a campus stop like this. So it's really going to be interesting. And obviously, you know, she'd done them, she'd done so many events with Charlie. But this will be, this will be one of the first times. So people really need to tune in tonight. I believe it starts around 7 o' clock and so make sure you tune in. I'm of course going to share that across my social media profiles and it's going to be great. And God bless to everybody who's going to be out There. And don't worry because we are taking everyone's security very, very seriously. Working with multiple levels of police, with law enforcement, local, state, and yes, of course federal to make sure that everything goes off without a hitch. And yes, of course, with the Vice President there, Secret Service, it will also be indoors. Getting back to the FBI, we've uncovered, and I just been running through these 200 pages of documents that were released by House Judiciary Committee yesterday. One of the first things that popped out at me is very simple. Turning Point usa. And you go right there, you zoom right in and it's. What does it say? Chief Operating Officer of Turning Point usa. And that of course was and is Tyler Boyer. Tyler is of course, the CEO of Turning Point Action. And you look and his name is redacted, but we know it's him because they were going after him for what they called the quote unquote electors scheme, which is something that Tyler was indicted for in Arizona by. But here's what's interesting. They always claimed that this was just the state of Arizona, the same way they did it in Georgia, the same way they did it in, I believe Wisconsin and Michigan as well. They always claimed that these were just state level prosecutions. Well, now we have the facts. It was in fact the federal government, which we always knew, right? We always knew the Feds were behind this. We always knew it was Biden and we always knew it was Chris Wray. We knew it all along. Jack Smith was the one who dug up this information. But then when he couldn't find a specific federal crime to go after them for, he passed it off to the Democrat ags. So this was Jack Smith's plan all along, to take the J6 operation. And that's what it was, ladies and gentlemen, Operation and move it forward. Just like the Stasi. And just like the Stasi in East East Berlin and East Germany after the Berlin Wall fell. You could go and request your surveillance file from the Stasi. Find out who they were spying on and what cases they were looking at their political enemies for. Guess what, ladies and gentlemen, you better be interested in communist revolutions, because you're in one. Be right back. Human Events Daily.

All right, folks, so as we're talking about all this, we're digging into Arctic Frost, these new revelations that have come out. The J6ers were so unfairly targeted and persecuted for everything that they did and everything they went through over the four years. Now we're finding that Jack Smith, who ran this entire thing like a communist style Stasi operation, was doing the same thing to patriots all across the country, including, by the way, my friend Tyler Boyer, which we just broke the story that his name was, of course, on the Arctic Frost list. I wanted to get on someone who knows all too well the power of the federal government and what they can do and. And how they can unduly do it. His name is Brandon Straka. And you know him, of course, from the great Walk Away campaign. But now we also know him as a man who has been a political dissident. Brandon, how are you, my friend?
- [10:14]
Brandon Straka
Thanks for having me.
- [10:16]
Jack Posobec
Well, I just have to ask, man, you know, after everything you've gone through, do you feel at all a sense of vindication, at least knowing that, you know, the truth is finally coming out?
- [10:28]
Brandon Straka
I think yes, the answer is yes. I do think that there were opportunities for the truth to begin to emerge a lot sooner than this. I mean, one of the really unfortunate things about January six is that and all of the weaponization of the government that was taking place over the last, during the four Biden years is that it really created a climate of fear and I think intimidation and even really isolation. I think for a lot of people, a lot of people were afraid to associate with me, and a lot of people were afraid to even have people like me on to share our stories about what was going on, you know. So, I mean, it was a very sort of isolating experience. But I think that is one of the unfortunate things. And this is, by the way, why they. They do things like this. This is why all of this was happening. This was a coordinated attempt by our government to try to not only destroy Donald Trump, but, but to destroy the MAGA movement in general and to also make conservatives afraid, afraid to go out and engage in activism, afraid to go out and start organizations, afraid to start movements, and afraid to associate with one another. And it goes far beyond just, you know, charging people with crimes, as you're, I'm sure we're about to get into in this discussion. When you're just even under investigation, then that sends the message out to other people, oh, they're looking at his emails, they're looking at his text messages, they're looking at his phone calls. Maybe we shouldn't email him, maybe we shouldn't text him. They try to kind of fragment everybody and create this division because they want to make people afraid to be able to organize and come together and build with each other.
- [12:01]
Jack Posobec
Well, that's exactly right. And you look at some of the names that were on this list. You look at the names of the J6ers, you look at the names of prominent J6ers like yourself who were and are leading such incredible movements all around the country. And obviously, you and I have done events together and places as, you know, far flung. We've done like what, Florida. We've done, like, Minnesota, Wisconsin, different things. And so it's like they knew. They knew who they were targeting. It's just, it's very, it's very simple. To me, when I look at this, anyone that they could build a case against, that's exactly who they went after. And then you could see by the way they were even tracking is this person A political activist? Is this person a member of the media? Is this person tied to this? Is this person a lawyer? They didn't even care, right? They didn't even care. They just ran roughshod over all of their own standards, over their own guidelines, over their own practices. Because this was a political witch hunt. And I was saying in the opening, and you and I were chatting during the break a little, it's, it's, this is like after the fall of the Berlin Wall when the East German Stasi were finally disbanded. And then you, as a citizen of Germany who had lived through communism, could go and request your own surveillance file and you could find this great movie, the Lives of Others. And the very last scene is the guy goes in and he's able to request his own file and find out that, oh wait, all these horrible things that were happening to at that time in his life were because of the intel agencies screwing around with him, messing with his life. And as you just say, they isolate you, they create a, a, this, this sort of environment of fear and they want you to feel atomized. And in fact, what if you watch the movie Lives of Others, they were trying to drive political dissidents to suicide. And in fact there are many cases of J6ers who did do in fact that the very, it's the very same thing, man.
- [13:50]
Brandon Straka
Absolutely, 100%. And I'll tell you too, so the comment that you were just making about sort of like the far reaching effort to destroy people. So first and foremost, I want to say for any of your audience out there who doesn't know, I was raided by the FBI, I was thrown in jail, I was actually charged with more felony charges than most people who went inside the Capitol on January 6th. But just to be clear, I never entered the Capitol on January 6th. I didn't engage in any violence, vandalism, theft or destruction. I didn't even witness any. I maintain I did not break the law on January six, I stood outside the building for eight minutes shooting a video. But because of who I am and what I do, which is the founder of the Walkaway movement, I believe that they thought that by arresting me they were going to find a treasure trove of information. I mean, it's important to remember, yes, these people are, these people are corrupt, but they truly believe oftentimes the ridiculous stories that they themselves make up. And so by arresting me and charging me with all of these things, they were able to come into my apartment, take my computer, my hard drives, my thumb drives, my, my, my phone, go through my emails, go through all of my stuff. And then it was a condition for every person who is charged with January 6th if you were going to take a plea deal, which, again, I was stacked with felony charges. I knew I was going to take a misdemeanor plea deal. You have to sit down and interview with the government to be able to get a plea deal. So I sat down and interviewed with the government, and my entire interview was them. They had a list of names of conservative activists and personalities, and it was just the most ridiculous questions. How do you know this person? What do they do? Are you. Are you friends with this person? Are you just acquaintances with this person? I'm sure your name was probably on the list. I don't really remember anymore. It was four years ago, but it was.
- [15:38]
Jack Posobec
It was absolutely. My name is on a lot of lists. I have no doubt. I have no doubt.
- [15:44]
Brandon Straka
But, yeah, no, I mean, it was absolutely.
- [15:46]
Jack Posobec
No, actually, I could just. I could just tell you that I know that my name was on a number of lists when people were in those situations, because I was definitely someone they were looking at for J6.
- [15:57]
Brandon Straka
Yeah. Well, it was anybody who questioned the 2020 election. It was anybody who was, you know, leading a powerful and influential movement. It was anybody who was doing influential activism work. Those are the people that were absolutely at the top of their.
- [16:11]
Jack Posobec
Their hit list.
- [16:12]
Brandon Straka
And, you know, by coming after me, they. I, again, I believe that they thought that they were going to get a treasure trove of information. Of course, there wasn't any, because. Because there was no plan to attack the Capitol. There was no plan to try to overthrow the government. But by being arrested for January 6, they also used this as an excuse to permanently ban the walkaway campaign from social media and to ban us from banks and payment processors and email services and things like that. But to that point, I actually just won a legal battle against Facebook. So we're actually getting the walkway campaign back on Facebook.
- [16:44]
Jack Posobec
Oh, congratulations. That's huge. Thank you, Jenna. I know that. I know that Robbie Starbuck is. Is over there and hopefully, you know, hopefully able to do some good for conservatives who have been so wrongly treated by these platforms. I know that. I know that Charlie, when he was still with us, that one of the. One of the. And, you know, people obviously saw this, but one of the things that he was trying to do was have engage with Mark Zuckerberg directly and talk about that and say, look, you know, okay, you're here at the inauguration when Trump got inaugurated, and you're here and you Put some money in, fine. But when are you going to start bringing people back that you have banned? And that's something that Charlie even took up, obviously for Turning Point, but also just for everybody else too.
- [17:30]
Brandon Straka
Yeah, and I'm glad to hear that because we do need to be doing a lot more, I think, at this point, you know, when, when President Trump got reelected and we saw a lot of the big tech giants there at the inauguration, and I like seeing that there could potentially be a change in the culture and that more of an embrace of conservatives being able to feel free on social media. But to your point, there's still an enormous amount of people who never recovered their accounts, who never should have been taken off the platform in the first place. And we should live in a country where we're allowed to challenge ideas, ask questions, particularly like with what was happening in 2020 with COVID vaccines and medication. These are conversations Americans should be allowed to have in a free country.
- [18:12]
Jack Posobec
No, it's as simple as that. And so, you know, you're in which, which, by the way, that was the entire, and has always been your entire message to say, you know, you know, I do a show that's, you know, predominantly for conservatives. But you weren't talking to conservatives, you were talking to people who are liberals, who are leftists, who are members of the Democrat Party to say, hey, you know, I was one of you and I kind of woke up and let's, let's have a conversation about whether or not this stuff is. That's always what you've been about. So what did they do? They shut down your ability to talk to those people because you were so effective.
- [18:46]
Brandon Straka
Yeah, and the thing too, what makes me want to rip my hair out is that it's like somehow through the narrative of who I am, if you're to read, you know, Wikipedia or the left wing media or anything after January six, you would believe that I'm like one of the most crazed anarchists, you know, far right. The thing is, I was always one of the most moderate people in the.
- [19:09]
Jack Posobec
You always talked about. Hold up, we got a. We've got a quick break. We'll come right back because I want to get into what you're up to now. By the way, check out Grokopedia, because I've been looking into that a little bit. It's pretty good, I gotta say. It's pretty good. Right back. Jack sober.
- [19:26]
Cliff Maloney
You talk about influencers. These are influencers and their friends.

Jack Posobec

You got to pay attention to what is happening with the US Dollar, the debt, central banks. We know it's all been piling up. And we know, of course, the rise of crypto is out there as well. But let me tell you this. When things get rocky, gold has always been the safe haven. But now, gold, it's not just defensive. It's an offensive asset. It's already around $4,000 an ounce, and analysts are forecasting it could go over 5,000.

And Brandon, now, what I love about this is that look, you know, you've taken your hits and you've come and you've got back on your feet and you're getting back in the fight. And you've been in the fight in New York City or a New Yorker, of course. And you're saying, you know what? I'm not going to bug out. I'm going down with the ship. Or, excuse me, I'm going to stand and fight rather than go down with the ship. What are you doing to fight against the Mamdani takeover?
- [21:45]
Brandon Straka
Yeah. So first of all, I want to address that and say that I remain optimistic even at this point, believe it or not. So we began our fight about four and a half months ago. Here In New York City and my team with Walkaway, we built what I believe is the largest anti mom Donnie ground game in New York City. We have thousand plus volunteers that have signed up over the last four and a half months. All over the city, we've been doing rallies against democratic socialism, rallies against Zoran Mamdani. We've been also doing open mic street debates, much like, you know, you guys at Turning Point have done going to college campuses. We've done the same thing with Walkaway, but these events have been very successful. And I thought to myself, why are we limiting this to college campuses? Like, we should be getting out and having debates with adults and everyday citizens all the time everywhere, out in the streets. And so when we're doing these rallies, I usually have three or four of my speakers will get behind the table, pop up a microphone and encourage everyday New Yorkers to approach the microphone, debate us, ask us questions, have discussions about Zoran Mamdani, about his policies. They've been phenomenally successful, including going to Washington Square park, which is essentially an NYU campus. And as you're showing there on your screen, I've also been putting out these videos every couple of days or so. These videos were just basically running around New York City, but debunking Zoran Mamdani's policy, promises that he's making to people, as well as a lot of the lies of Democrat socialism. As I say, Democrat socialism takes vulnerable people and lies to them. And I think that that's what Zoran Mamdani is doing.
- [23:16]
Cliff Maloney
But, you know, here we are. Now.
- [23:17]
Jack Posobec
Let me ask you about that real quick. Let me ask you about that because that's, that's something that we've been, you know, I've been talking with like Steve Bannon about and others. This is, this is sort of the difference between like right wing populism and MAGA populism versus this, what I call resentment populism, where democratic socialism is like, hey, your life sucks, prices are high, rent is high, housing is expensive, everything's expensive. So let's take it from all those rich white people, you know, and tear it down. And let's blame, let's blame Israel, let's blame everything under the sun that we can rather than just try to make things better for everyone. Does that. Is that kind of track with what you're seeing?
- [23:53]
Brandon Straka
100%, it tracks with what I'm seeing. And in addition to that, I'd say so. What I'm noticing here in New York City, and it's important to remember, obviously this is a very left leaning, very liberal city. So people are already sort of programmed to fall into that left wing ideology in their politics. But I think what I'm seeing in all the conversations I've been having and I've been talking to many, many hundreds and hundreds of New Yorkers over the last four and a half months, it's very reminiscent to me about what Donald Trump, the way he appealed with two people in the 2016 election, people who wanted to change, people who thought the system was broken and wasn't working for them. It's absolutely left wing populism happening here in New York. The difference is what Donald Trump said was, I agree with you, the system is broken. So let's go in and give the system less power. Let's dismantle the system and give the power back to the people. What Zoran Mamdani is saying, I see you, I hear you, I agree with you, the system is broken. So let's give that system more power. Let's give that system more control over your lives. Let's give infinite power to the system. And people for some reason are not connecting the dots and that's what I'm trying to help here in New York is for people to connect the dots. You're being lied to, you're being deceived. Democratic socialism is going to take the very real pain points that you're describing and make them much, much worse.
- [25:13]
Jack Posobec
I couldn't agree more. That's, that's what happens every single time. And so, yeah, they're going to make it worse for, you know, these target groups, police officers, affluent, you know, middle class, obviously, if anyone is, is. And the first thing you're going to see, by the way, is anyone who has the money to find, flee, anyone who has the money to get up and go, they're gone, right? They are going to jet off down to, down to Florida or maybe down to Texas or wherever, Tennessee, who cares, right? They're going to get out of New York and you're going to see all that huge financial capital leave. And then, and that's the deal, right? New York is the world's financial capital. But when you start going after those markets, guess what that's going to do? That's going to ruin your tax base. So what do you think that's going to happen to the downstream effect down in of the secondary and tertiary businesses and communities that, that operate there? Like, you know, like your East Village, like Greenwich, like everything else, it's all going to be downstream. And it's like they don't see that because they just think I want someone to fight for me. But the guys like Mamdani, he's smart enough to understand exactly what he's doing. We've got a minute left. Tell people where they can go to get involved.

Brandon Straka
Please check out walkaway campaign.com whether you want to volunteer, whether you want to make a donation to the cause, whether you want to just learn more about what we're doing. We are the largest national movement of former Democrats walking away from the Democratic Party. And we never stopped. January 6th didn't stop us, didn't slow us down. And I think the future is really bright for the movement. So please get involved with what we're doing. Go to walkaway campaign.com and don't give up on New York. We have a week left, and I truly believe we can defeat this guy. We've done some amazing work. The early voting returns are looking really good. Record numbers of people over the age of 55 coming out to vote. That's a very, very positive sign. Do not give up.

Jack Posobec
That's good. They're not from Donnie. That's right. That's actually a really good point. That's actually a really good point. Brandon Strock. God bless you, man. More power to you.

Jack Posobec
All right, Jack. Pacific back live Human Events Daily. Now, remember yesterday, you may remember that we spent the whole day really slamming this idea that the courtroom would have no cameras in it for the Tyler Robinson case. This is the murder trial of Charlie Kirk. And that's something that just from the public perspective, I can't abide. And so Human Events Daily, Human Events Media Group, put together an open letter and submitted it to the court requesting and really opposing this ban on cameras. And really excited that the great Julie Grant, none other than the great Julie Grant of Court tv ran a segment on the very same subject just yesterday. And we've got a clip of it.
- [28:32]
Julie Grant
Let the cameras roll. The defendant accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk wants to keep the cameras out of the courtroom. His lawyers argue it will taint the prospective jury pool and jeopardize his right to a fair trial. They say after his first court appearance, the public scrutiny of his appearance and his movements was happening excessively because of what was shown in the courtroom. Well, when you pick up murder charges, public scrutiny usually comes with it. What did defendant Tyler Robinson think was going to happen next after he allegedly confessed to his lover that he assassinated Charlie Kirk? Do you think a walk in the park was what was coming next? No. Criminal charges and a trial, if he so chooses, are what comes next. And in Utah, cameras are permitted to film and photograph court proceedings. We've seen time and time again with the trials that we brought here on Court TV that the cameras have zero bearing on the fairness of the trial. We see defendants get a fair trial with intense public scrutiny time and time again. Examples, OJ Simpson, Casey Anthony, Karen Reed, just to name a few. The jurors aren't watching the trial on tv. They're not allowed to do that. So it sounds to me like this defendant just wants some special treatment, but he's not special. And I suspect the judge will deny his request to exclude the cameras. But yet still, that judge will ensure that Mr. Robinson.

And just a shout out to the great Julie Grant, another fellow Temple owl, by the way, I should mention, over doing the yeoman's work at Court tv. And I'll just quote from the Human Events piece yesterday, Charlie Kirk did not have a choice or even any say over whether or not his murder would be live streamed. Only his assassin had a say in that. Charlie Kirk didn't get to have a say. His murder was on video, on livestream, in front of the entire world. Hill's children will see that one day. They will. That's just the nature of things. But what we do have a say over is whether or not the trial will be open to the public. And we all believe that it should. And I'm just really grateful that Julie put that, put that video together and has come out swinging on this one. Cliff Maloney, another good friend of Charlie Kirk, who also runs the PA Chase and the NJ Chase, joins us now. And Cliff, I'm sure I don't even need to ask you your, your, your sense on this. Cameras in the courtroom, yes or no?
- [31:08]
Cliff Maloney
100% yes. Open transparency, that's what we need. It's what the people want. Let everything be seen with you. 100%.
- [31:16]
Jack Posobec
No. It's as simple as that. And this, this idea that they could, they could shut it off, it's just ridiculous. Now people need answers. This is what we want. This is what we fight for. Is what America is all about. It's about having this done in public. Because by the way, the public having access is a check on the court process. Right. Because then you have the voters, the. The voters, the electors, the residents, the citizens. They have the ability to see what's going on. That's the entire point of America. Last I. Last I checked, last I saw.
- [31:45]
Maria Batista
Yeah.
- [31:46]
Cliff Maloney
And don't we want people that are thinking about committing horrific acts in the future to have to see what he goes through? I love that they're saying, you know.
- [31:53]
Jack Posobec
People were such a good point.
- [31:55]
Cliff Maloney
It's like, come on, we need people in the future to not realize that, oh, I can do this, and then just hide away. They need to be seen. Let us see their face. Let us see the reactions. I want to see what this monster is doing when hopefully he is strongly convicted. But I want to see it. And I think not just we deserve it as people who knew Charlie, the American public deserve it. And it will detract people in the future because they will see what this guy goes through, which should be a horrific process for what he did.
- [32:27]
Jack Posobec
No, And I think it will be, Cliff. No, I'd be remiss because we do have some work at hand, and that's what Charlie would want us to do. He want us focusing on the mission and the mission and task in front of us is New Jersey. This race where I'm looking at some of these polls, man, the new. I think it was the Qantas Insights poll that came out last night. Really interesting byline. If you went into the crosstabs, one of the questions they asked was that old question about not who are you voting for? But who's your neighbor going to vote for? And there was this really interesting phenomenon that we also saw with a candidate named Donald J. Trump last year, where if you ask the question, who's your neighbor going to vote for? Suddenly Trump's numbers would bump up. And they called that the shy Trump voter effect. Well, what we might also be seeing a shy Chittarelli effect because his numbers bumped up. Now he's leading by six points when they asked that poll, ask that question, who's your neighbor going to vote for? So what I'm thinking is, man, there could be. There could be a chance that our boy Chit up there in New Jersey, he might actually be able to. To have a groundswell of support that we're not yet tracking in a lot of these polling numbers. I know you've got new numbers on the mail ends. Break us down.
- [33:39]
Cliff Maloney
Yeah, and look, you know, once again, if you would have told me months ago that this race would be neck and neck, you know, I would have said, look, we're not supposed to be able to win Jersey. We're not supposed to be able to flip a blue state after the White House turns red. And we've got all of Congress. Right. We're used to it. Pushback. That's not happening right now. Right. We are in play. New Jersey is competitive and it's because of all the work of so many people coming together. Here are the numbers that we just got hot off the presses about 25 minutes ago. Okay. If you look in Jersey, 184,000 registered Republicans have requested a mail in ballot. The good news is, the good news is a bunch of them have sent it back. The bad news, 76,000 New Jersey registered Republicans have a ballot sitting on their dining room table. Jack, this is the entire election, right? We at New Jersey Chase NJChase.com, we have 105 full time ballot chasers. This is what they're doing. I want to be very specific. We are going to the houses of those 76,000 Republicans that went through the process to request a ballot, but they've yet to send it back. If we can bring that number down and make sure that tens of thousands of them send it back. Remember, Jack only lost by 80,000 votes in 2021. This is what we must prioritize. We've got to compete in early vote and then we've got to dominate election day. But right now the battle is getting that 76,000 number, getting to those people and getting those ballots back in.
- [35:12]
Jack Posobec
Look, this is what it comes down to, and Charlie was the one who understood this, that our elections have changed from a persuasion process to a collection process. It's about putting pieces of paper in boxes. That's what it's all about. And the Democrats change this. We don't, we don't want to be doing this like those of us who have done politics and, you know, turning point action and the rest. We would much prefer to go back to the old method. But if this is going to be the new method, we've got to fight smart and win the same way we did last year. Isn't that right?
- [35:45]
Cliff Maloney
Yeah, it's 100% correct. Look, you have two options. One, you can complain about the rules and guarantee a loss, or you can say, hey, let's fight fire with fire. Let's try to compete against the Democrats using their own tactics. And that's exactly what we've done. As you know, this whole Chase thing is just me taking Biden's 2020 playbook in Pennsylvania, rerunning it in 2024. But for our side and now just taking all the things that we learned from Pennsylvania, doing the PHAs and using it in New Jersey. Here's my ask to everybody out there, Human Events Daily. Everybody in Poso Nation, if you want to help us win New Jersey, there's two things you can do. One, come to New Jersey. We've got superchase events that Jack and I will be at both Sunday and Monday. Big events. If people want to come, come out and help us knock doors. But if you can't, njchase.com go there right now, sponsor a ballot chaser. We only got six days left. I need to keep as many of these people on the ground. I want to really make sure that we don't have to pull out, that we can Finish strong. That 76,000 number, if you chip in $175, that is a full day of ballot chasing. That is us talking to dozens of voters on that list that have a ballot right there. But those are the two options. Either come out to Jersey. If you can't, go to njchase.com sponsor a ballot chaser. This is the fight. And Jack Chitterelli has a real shot at winning.
- [37:10]
Jack Posobec
I love it. Vote, vote. Vote for Chit. I saw somebody, I saw somebody calling him chit, you know, because it's Chitarelli said we gotta get up there and gotta go vote for Chit. I'm like, okay, all right. Okay. I'm down with that. I could think of some other puns that maybe we gotta be careful with. But. But no, that's great. And you're right. I will be there this Sunday. Tom's river for the people Turning Point action joining up with the NJ Chase. And we're going to be doing that event. It's 1pm in Tom's River. Go to turningpointaction.com you get all the information on this. First time the turning point action has deployed to New Jersey. And. And it's really just because when you look at the race itself, when you look at the metrics, when you look at that momentum and Chit has got the momentum, Jack Chitterelli has the ability to win this race and tell the entire political ecosystem that guess what? The Republicans just flipped a blue state when you said it was impossible. We'll see. Right back, Human Events Daily special guest and sticking with Cliff Maloney going over to Pennsylvania next.

Maria Batista
Jack is a Great guy.
- [38:20]
Jack Posobec
He's rich.
- [38:21]
Maria Batista
That fish, fantastic book.
- [38:22]
Jack Posobec
Everybody's talking about it.
- [38:23]
Maria Batista
Go get it.
- [38:24]
Cliff Maloney
And he's been my friend right from.
- [38:26]
Jack Posobec
The beginning of this whole beautiful event.
- [38:28]
Maria Batista
And we're going to turn it around.
- [38:30]
Cliff Maloney
And make our country great.
- [38:32]
Jack Posobec
Amen. All right, Jack Wick, we're back live here, Human Events Daily. We're on with Cliff Maloney of the NJ Chase, and of course, you know him from the PA Chase. He's putting his PA Chase hat on right now as well as his Philadelphia Eagle's hat, who, who defeated the dreaded Giants last weekend and restored the honor of the city. But we're also excited to be joined by a very special guest. Her name is Maria Batista and she is running for Superior Court in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Our all. So we got you got a Pennsylvania wide panel here today. I think we've got, we've got Monco, we've got Delco, we've got Oil City. Is that, are you, are you Benango or is that. Or is that Butler County?
- [39:18]
Maria Batista
I'm not. I don't live in Clarion County.
- [39:20]
Brandon Straka
I very close.
- [39:22]
Maria Batista
Oil City's close. It's about 20 miles away. That's in Venango County. I live in Clarion County.
- [39:27]
Jack Posobec
Okay, okay. So you're right. I've been to Oil City then. All right, though, But I've, I've been a Clarion. I've been a Clarion. So tell us, tell us about the race. Tell us what you're up to in Pennsylvania.
- [39:37]
Maria Batista
Well, you know, I have been working hard. As of Monday, I've hit all 67 counties. Very excited about that many counties. I've hit it multiple times. You know, what people want, no matter where they are, whether it's a rural county or it's a more suburban or urban county, is they want a fair shake when they come to court. And, you know, some people do not have trust in our judicial system. They want transparency and they want to know that politics is kept out of the courtroom. It doesn't matter where you come from. You know, that was my map that you're showing right now. From 2023, there were two seats in 2023, four candidates, two Republicans, two Democrats. And I came in first place in 52 of 67 counties. And people said to me, maria, if you've won that many counties with four candidates, why isn't that you don't have a seat on the Superior Court? And, you know, I lost by 1.39%. That comes out to 77,995 votes ballots. The race was too close to call. I won at the polls by almost 200,000 votes, but it was the mail in ballots. You know, two years ago, many people were still skeptical about the mail in ballots, but we've seen great strides and great improvement in that number. And because of organizations like PA Chase, Early Vote Action, Turning Point since 2023, our registration numbers have really improved dramatically. With the new registrations and more people getting engaged with these judicial races, I have a lot of confidence that we're going to be successful on November 4th.
- [41:26]
Jack Posobec
Well, it's incredible to hear. So, you know, you mentioned the phase and we've got, of course, got the founder of the PH ACE right here, Cliff Maloney. Cliff, walk us through, you know, sort of the sea change that she's talking about from 2023 to 2024 and now going into 25 when it comes to mail in ballots. Because this, this is very new for Pennsylvania. Early voting is not something that we've had sort of in our, in our lifeblood, in our DNA and our history right up until these recent years.
- [41:54]
Cliff Maloney
Yeah. Well, let me start off by saying Maria is a fantastic candidate. She's working hard, all 67 counties. I mean, that's the type of person that we love to have at the top of the ticket. And she's just working so hard. We appreciate that. The good news is she's right when she says the problem in 2023 was mail in ballots. Well, if you look at the numbers, I want to pull these real quick for you guys at this time. If you look right now, when we're talking about the vote by mail discrepancy, Republican versus Democrat in Pennsylvania, the Democrats are up 270,000. Now, you might say, well, that's horrible. You don't, well, Maria is going to dominate election day.
- [42:29]
Jack Posobec
Right.
- [42:29]
Cliff Maloney
We're going to turn our voters out. What was it in 2023? Remember, right now, Democrats are up 270,000 when it comes to returns. Republican versus Democrat. In 2023, it was 430,000. So think about that. They're obviously going to keep climbing, which is what they do. But we only lost that race by 70,000 votes.
- [42:51]
Jack Posobec
Right.
- [42:51]
Cliff Maloney
Maria's working hard. We're fixing the vote by mail. And I really do think, you know, people talk about the Supreme Court retention races. That's great. At every door we knock on, We've knocked on 440,000 doors since August 4th. We're on our way to 500,000. At every door that we knock on, we're Talking about the retention races, but they're pretty much impossible to win. We're going to fight hard, but you know, what's winnable? Maria Batista's race, both the Superior Court and the Commonwealth Court, with Matt another great candidate. These are big races where you have actual Republicans and actual Democrats on the ballot. And if we're returning at the rate that we are right now, Maria Batista will get elected to the Superior Court. It will be a huge win, and the PA Chase is honored to be a part of it. Well, that.
- [43:38]
Jack Posobec
That's absolutely incredible. Maria, when, when you're out there, when you're meeting with people, when you're talking with Pennsylvanians, what are, what are some of people, you know, really telling you as they, as we go through the state, as we go through the commonwealth there, in terms of what their main interests are, you know, in this race?
- [43:56]
Maria Batista
You know, they want politics out of the courtroom. They feel like, you know, at the federal level, you know, the judges are appointed, you know, by the president. You know, in Pennsylvania, we're very fortunate still that people can elect their judges. That's not the case. Like in New Jersey, you're talking a lot about New Jersey right now, the governor's race. So it's a privilege. And people don't understand how important that is. But anyone on the ground is they just want fairness, they want honesty, they want integrity. And that hasn't changed. That message. Hasn't changed. The message that I hear more resoundingly than I did in 23 is keep politics out of the courtroom. We want independent people that are going to do what's right. And every single case, that is what our judicial system is. It is a separate branch of government from our legislative branch and our executive branch. And, you know, people ask me, well, why did you get into this race in the first place? You know, I was not recruited to run. It's not something that I thought about just last year. This actually started 15 years ago. I was one of the few lawyers in the Commonwealth that I was teaching a course called Juvenile Justice. And that's when the Cash for Kids scandal broke in 2009. And so we designed a program, we aired it statewide on Pennsylvania Cable Network in 2010. And the courts as protectors of children. Over 5,000 children's lives were impacted based on the corruption of two judges in Luzerne County. Some committed suicide. And two justices and some quarter common pleas judges and some on some of the other high courts, including the Superior Court, were on my panel. And they. And so Justice Sandra Schultz Newman, who was the first female elected to the Supreme Court, says, Maria, this is great what you're doing. You're trying to give a voice to the voiceless. But why aren't you running for judge? I never thought about it before that it took me 13 years before I made that affirmed decision that I was going to run. But, you know, it's very important. We can only impact our judicial system one judge at a time. And these are 10 year terms. You know, this court has been coined as the people's Court, the Superior Court, because you people are familiar with the Court of Common Pleas in Each of the 67 counties in Pennsylvania and that hears all of your criminal cases in civil cases. But when those criminal cases go up on appeal, they go to the Superior Court. And I ask people, when I'm traveling, do you care about your families? Do you care about your children? Do you care about your property rights, business matters, if you've ever engaged in a contract, either personally or professionally, if you're injured, and I'm not talking about workers comp. Because it's a little different, but you know, say that you're injured in the hospital setting or in a car accident in so many other ways. All of those types of civil cases if appealed to from the Court of Common pleas, which is right below, if you see this triangle, at the top of the triangle is our Pennsylvania Supreme Court. There are seven justices, but the busiest court in Pennsylvania is the Superior Court, the one in red. There are 15 judges.
- [47:15]
Jack Posobec
Well, we certainly know. We certainly know that the last couple years. We certainly know the importance of getting the right judges. Cliff, throw out. If people want to get involved, what's the best way?
- [47:26]
Cliff Maloney
Sure, if folks want to sponsor a ballot chaser. Pachase.com but if you want to give directly to Maria, she's just a little. She has to hold back on what she says. So I'll say it. Batista for Judge.com Batista for Judge.com Pachase.com Maria, we're rooting for you. Will be right there through the finish line. Jack, thanks so much for having us today.
- [47:47]
Jack Posobec
Appreciate it. Thank you so much, Maria. Thank you, Cliff.
- [47:50]
Maria Batista
Thank you.
- [47:51]
Jack Posobec
God bless. All right, I see. I'll see you both of you guys, very soon. Ladies and gentlemen, get ready. Right. Remember J.D. van and Erica Kirk tonight. Ole Miss, ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
