Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec — January 28, 2026

Episode: "Jacob Frey Playing With Fire, The Truth About FedFlix and Ilhan Omar Doused With...Cider?"

Episode Overview

This episode of Human Events Daily dives into three major current stories: the attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar in Minnesota; ongoing anti-ICE protests and clashes in Minneapolis and Philadelphia; and a deep-dive feature on Netflix’s links to federal narrative shaping (the “FedFlix” story). Host Jack Posobiec is joined by field reporters, activists, and researchers to provide on-the-ground updates and analyze the broader political and social implications, including coordination among protest groups, government responses to civil unrest, and concerns about propaganda shaping in popular media platforms.

1. The Ilhan Omar Incident in Minneapolis

[00:48 – 02:52]

• Breaking News: Jack Posobiec connects live with Liz Collin from Alpha News to discuss an incident at a public event where Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an unknown substance.
• Key Details:
  • The substance was confirmed as apple cider vinegar, not a more harmful chemical.
  • The attacker was detained and charged at the scene.
  • The assailant appeared to have openly prepared for the incident, even arranging for pet care beforehand.
• Memorable Quote:
  • Liz Collin (01:40): "My sources have now indicated that it was apple cider vinegar that was inside that syringe...tests have confirmed that it was in fact apple cider vinegar that she was sprayed with."
• Impact: Luckily, the attack was non-lethal, but it highlights heightened tensions and an atmosphere of unpredictability at public political events.

2. Minneapolis Anti-ICE Protests, Riots, and Political Fallout

[02:52 – 11:39]

• Minneapolis as a National Flashpoint: Ongoing unrest, including riots, are described as possibly the "second Battle of Minneapolis" following the 2020 events.
• Key Players & Developments:
  • Anti-ICE groups have been clashing with federal agents and local law enforcement.
  • A war of words erupts between President Trump and Mayor Jacob Frey, with Minnesota’s Governor Walz also involved.
  • Text leaks show Walz fundraising and taking a defiant stance:
    • Minnesota Gov. Walz (quoted by Liz Collin, 03:20): "Trump is trying to make an example out of Minnesota and that Walz is damn proud. Those are his words of the example that we are setting..."
  • Mayor Frey is accused of "playing with fire" by President Trump for not enforcing federal immigration laws.
  • Minneapolis law enforcement’s response times and willingness to assist ICE vary greatly between the city and nearby suburbs.
• Enforcement Response:
  • Recent riots led to arrests for gross misdemeanors and unlawful assembly, with suburban police acting more swiftly than Minneapolis PD.
  • Behind-the-scenes, some police are willing to help ICE with crowd control but are reluctant on actual immigration enforcement, under pressure from local prosecutors who call for investigations of federal agents instead.
  • Liz Collin (08:27): "Prosecutors...now would like local law enforcement to investigate federal law enforcement in Minnesota..."
• Fraud and Political Chaos:
  • The recent escalation seems timed with revelations of massive fraud in Minnesota, correlating with anti-ICE agitation.
  • Liz Collin (10:47): "This ramped up...aligning with reporting on billions of dollars in fraud...it really coincides with what we’re seeing: money pouring in from outside groups, people coming in and tracking these federal agents, and that chaos has since continued."

3. Philadelphia Protests: "Agitators, Assaults, and Media Bias"

[14:46 – 24:59]

• On-the-Ground with Frankie Scales (Surge Media):
  • Frankie describes being physically assaulted and obstructed by anti-ICE protesters while covering a Philadelphia rally.
    • Frankie Scales (15:53): "They tried to stop us from getting interviews, actually forming a human wall to stop us from getting closer to the rally...they were actually pushing us into the snow at some points."
  • He criticizes both DA Larry Krasner’s anti-ICE rhetoric and the unwillingness of mainstream media to report on violence against journalists.
• DA Larry Krasner’s Rhetoric & Its Impact:
  • Clips are played of Krasner threatening to "hunt down ICE agents," comparing the hunt to Nazis.
  • Frankie Scales (20:08): "It is sickening what he’s doing. He is emboldening the group of radicals who...riot...and mainstream media networks don’t scrutinize him."
• Discussion with Mike Howell (Oversight Project):
  • Howell explains the broad, organized, and at times militant character of anti-ICE activism, likening it to insurgency and emphasizing nationwide coordination through apps like Signal.
    • Mike Howell (21:28): "What unites them is the conspiracy, the organization and the tradecraft...they have Philly chapters, Minneapolis chapters, Portland chapters..."

4. Funding, Organization, and ‘Useful Idiots’

[24:22 – 26:00]

• Funding and Coordination:
  • Discussion of evidence that while top organization and some logistics are centrally funded, most protest ‘foot soldiers’ are unpaid activists driven by ideology.
    • Mike Howell (23:25): "People behind this and organizing it are relying on politically activated...people who really view what’s happening now in near religious terms...Yes, money at the top, organization at the top, but a lot of the foot soldiers are there because they hate this country and they love their cause."
  • Activists move between causes, showing up at multiple protests based on shifting priorities passed down from organizers.
• Street-Level Tactics:
  • Activist "spotters" are present at various locations to track and respond to journalists, echoing tactics seen in previous citywide protests.

5. Breaking: Atlanta Gears Up—FedFlix Exposé

[30:13 – 37:35]

• Atlanta Protests:
  • New signals indicate protest networks are mobilizing around DOJ raids in Fulton County, Atlanta. Posobiec and Howell discuss the chatter and preparations.
  • Concerns are raised about potentially identifying key figures in protest planning chat logs.
• FedFlix / Netflix Segment:
  • Howell reveals new documentation about Netflix’s close relationship with the FBI, CIA, and high-level government actors like Obama and Susan Rice.
    • Mike Howell (33:32): "The FBI basically is shaping narratives on the entertainment platform...Netflix can be the most powerful propaganda and ideological tool in human history."
  • The combination of centralized entertainment and government PR is described as a threat to narrative integrity, particularly in documentaries about current unrest.
    • Terry Schilling (35:06): "They push agendas, they push propaganda on us...when they take office, this is what they want. They want your kids to be androgynous and gender fluid...Netflix is absolute junk."
  • Action Point: Calls for antitrust intervention to prevent Netflix acquiring even more content from rival studios.

6. Direct Confirmation: Professional Organizers and Paid Activists

[41:01 – 47:50]

• Field Report by Jonathan Cho (TPUSA Frontlines):
  • Video evidence from Minneapolis shows well-funded activist groups (e.g., Party for Socialism and Liberation) organizing by unloading coordinated protest signage from rented U-Haul trucks.
  • Jonathan Cho (44:02): "That was absolutely a group of professional activists that was organized, paid for by the Party for Socialism and Liberation, also known as the PSL. They are a far-left activist group with Marxist and Leninist leanings."
  • Host and guests confirm this network links Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and other large cities.
• Memorials and “Tourist Hotspots”:
  • Locations tied to police/ICE confrontations and fatalities are drawing both activists and sympathetic visitors from around the country.
• Coordinated Protests, Paid Travel:
  • Host and Schilling emphasize the recurrent patterns—identical signage, organized national travel, and resource pools for protest activity.
    • Jack Posobiec (46:06): "If you’re sitting there and you’re thinking, where do I want to go in the middle of a snowstorm? I’m not going to go to Minneapolis, right? But they’re going there because they want to get in the fight."

7. Concluding Remarks and Broader Themes

[47:25 – 47:50]

• Call for Forceful Government Response:
  • Schilling argues the only way to end this model of anti-enforcement protest is overwhelming federal force.
    • Terry Schilling (47:50): "The only proper response...needs to be overwhelming force. You have to crack back down. There's no backing away. They cannot win. If they win, this is now the model for how we get rid of all immigration enforcement, and we just can't have it."
• Final Points:
  • Posobiec and Schilling stress that these events and networks demonstrate not just isolated unrest, but a pattern of domestic agitation with political sponsorship.

Summary of Tone

The episode is combative, urgent, and highly suspicious of left-wing activism, city governments, and corporate media. The language is blunt, evokes military metaphors, and portrays the protest movements as coordinated, ideologically driven, and linked to left-wing and globalist actors at multiple levels, including media.

For Listeners: Core Takeaways

• Recent protests and confrontations around anti-ICE activism and fraud in Minnesota appear to be coordinated and intensely political, not “organic”.
• Democrat leaders and certain prosecutors are, in the hosts’ view, enabling or at least excusing militant anti-enforcement networks, which is escalating tensions.
• Evidence presented casts mainstream media as complicit or willfully ignoring the story when violence is perpetrated against conservative reporters or federal agents.
• Netflix and other entertainment giants are scrutinized for their alleged cooperation with US intelligence and narrative-shaping.
• Calls to action include oversight, antitrust intervention against media monopolies, and a tougher federal response to violent protest networks.
