They want to make a deal. We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours and it's very possible that we'll make a deal.

Sources tell ABC News the one page memorandum of understanding would allow for a month of deeper negotiations, including over the future of Iran's nuclear program. The proposal also aimed at easing the standoff in the critical Strait of Hormuz by gradually lifting its blockade on Iranian ports if Iran allows traffic to flow freely. It's the first step toward negotiations since President Trump abruptly scrapped peace talks with Iran and Pakistan just a week and a half ago. And while his own secretary of state insists Operation epic fury is over, the president now attempting to pressure Iran to come to the table, warning on social media that if the country does not agree, the bombing starts. At the center of the latest developments is a series of diplomatic and military announcements involving Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchee held a phone conversation with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan al Saud on May 6 while visiting China, signaling that back channel diplomacy between Tehran and Riyadh remains active despite mounting regional pressure. The call came shortly after reports of Iranian linked activity targeting Fujairah and nearby maritime routes Intensified fears over Gulf security.

A
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We're here live, Washington D.C. real America's Voice Studios. Today is May 7, 2026 Anno Domini. I'm joined in studio by the great Andrew Colvette, who is just here for the Charlie Kirk Show. What's up, Andrew?
- [04:28]
E
Not much. Lots, actually.
- [04:30]
A
Well, to be here, Jack, you know, you know me. I've been railing against Star wars for years. And we just had this big, it was like Star wars day they call it, all over schools. It was, you know, something that you, Barack Obama came out with Mark Hamill into this big video and then Mark Hamill. And you can still go to his Blue sky account right now he has a post live where he's got a picture of Donald Trump, the President, United States in a grave. And the caption, if only, Andrew, when are people going to get serious about calls for political violence in this country? Because I'm sorry, that's what that is.
- [05:11]
E
Yeah, I mean, he's, he's a particularly galling figure in American pop culture because first of all, he was objectively the weakest link when it came to just his acting chops in the original Star Wars. I mean, I rewatched the first episode, which would be episode four. It's really hard to watch, actually, his acting for me now, looking back. But he's, you know, he's just, he's so full of Trump derangement syndromes. Snark over the top, hitting.
- [05:42]
A
It ruins the movies that you liked as a kid.
- [05:44]
E
Yes, it absolutely does. I wish he would just shut his trap and actually give a crap about the country he purports to be a citizen of. Although he has in, you know, in the past said he's gonna flee to London or he's gonna flee to Ireland or something. I wish he would actually. I wish he would pull a Rosie o' Donnell and get the hell out. Because honestly, this kind of rhetoric is the permission structure that's necessary for people like Luigi Mangione, Tyler Robinson, this Cole Allen. All of these people that end up doing violence in the name of their political ideology and they wrap themselves in a moral framework.
- [06:19]
A
And apparently the guy who burned down the Pacific Palisades.
- [06:21]
E
Yeah. Jonathan Kinder.
- [06:23]
A
Kinder necked.
- [06:24]
E
Yeah.
- [06:24]
A
I think we're going with Kinderneck.
- [06:25]
E
Yeah. He was a big Luigi Mangioni fan.
- [06:27]
A
He was ranting about it.
- [06:28]
D
Yeah.
- [06:29]
E
What we're seeing though, Jack, is that if you look at the polling, more and more self described progressives justify political violence to achieve political ends. That is the most un American thing you could believe or ascribe to. It simply is un American. And so for Mark Hamill to say that he loves this country and cares so much about the morality or lack thereof of President Trump, well, you know, Mark, you need to look in the mirror because you've become a grade A jerk. I'm just gonna say, a great hate jerk.
- [06:59]
A
Andrew Colvette. We'll, we'll leave it at that. I know you gotta run.
- [07:03]
E
Yes, sir.
- [07:03]
A
Won't see you on Thought Crime tonight, but I wanted to get you in on Mark Hamill.
- [07:07]
E
Great to be here.
- [07:07]
A
We'll have more on that after the break. We'll stand in our way, and our golden age has just begun.
- [07:14]
D
This is Human Events with Jack Posoba.
- [07:16]
A
Now it's time for everyone to understand what America first truly means. Welcome to the second American Revolution. All right, so we're back here, Human Events Daily, Real America's voice. And I want to throw this up on a couple of facets. So we do have our question of the day. And I want to get these in 1776 human events.com 1776@human events.com do you believe that Mark Hamill should be charged the same way that James Comey was charged with for calling for the death of the president. That's what Mark Hamill is doing. But I'm going to read you something that I wrote on Twitter earlier today. And I'm going to, and I'm going to say it because this is, this is key. And this is really what I want to come into. Conservatives have slave morality from movie franchises like Star Wars. Mark Hamill can go out and do videos with Obama, say that he wants Trump dead. The series goes completely woke under Disney. And yet conservatives still won't stop throwing money at Star wars merch. Taking trips to Disney, giving money to Disney plus as the fees and the rates go up every single month. It feels like, why do conservatives have this slave mentality? You need to get off the Disney plantation, stop giving them money. Stop. And look, I got credibility on this. I called for hashtag dumpstarwars in 2016. And I have stuck to it for a decade now. A decade. Why did I do that? Back when the, when Trump won the election and the guys who wrote Rogue One went on Twitter and started a massive anti Trump campaign, and I was like, you know what? I'm done with this. It's a joke. And now here we are at the point where we've seen political violence, actual real political violence. Charlie Kirk murdered three assassination attempts in two years of President Trump. And people like Mark Hamill have created this permission structure for the violent rejects of society to go out and take a step up at it. Someone who's written a lot about political violence, someone who understands this and on a very deep level, is my next guest. She's my favorite anti communist. Evita Duffy joins us once again. Navita, how are you?
- [09:42]
B
Good. Thanks for having me, Jack.
- [09:44]
A
Well, and you've got a new post out, which I think actually kind of, kind of strikes to what I'm talking about here because you've got a post up over at the Federalist all about defunding education institutions, churning out left wing assassins. And, you know, you're very open about this. Obviously, both of your parents are public figures. Your father is in the president's cabinet. And you wrote right there, what would happen to your eight younger siblings if both of your parents were assassinated and they were both at that dinner, were they not?
- [10:21]
B
They were both at the dinner, Jack. And it's actually a conversation that I've had with my husband on numerous occasions, even before this correspondence dinner and the near assassination of President Trump at his cabinet that night, because five of my siblings still live at home. Both of my parents are supporters of President Trump, my dad's in his cabinet. That means you have a target on your back in this country. That means that there's an entire cohort of individuals who believe it's totally justified and okay. And in fact a good thing to kill off someone like Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, because it's politically advantageous for them. And this is an ideology, Jack, that as you know, hearkens back to Marxism, to the days of the Cultural Revolution in China, the ussr. These are in Spain. Yes. The Spanish Revolution, the communists in Spain. This is an inherently violent ideology and the followers of it will do and do anything, including heinous, disgusting crimes, in order to get what they want. Politically, no.
- [11:24]
A
And unfortunately we live in a time in our society where you notice that we get these calls for like a couple of days, maybe even a couple of hours at this point where the left comes out and says we have to condemn political violence, we have to tone down the rhetoric. And then not longer than two weeks, you got a guy like Mark Hamill, who's the frickin star of Star wars, like the main guy, the central character of all of Star wars, goes up and said, he said a bunch of liberal stuff already. I'm not going to act like he was some, you know, some stalwart or, you know, untarnished figure in American society. But Disney, which is a massive corporation that is directed to sending their, to taking dollars from parents because their children want it, but you know, increasingly they get money from the parents as well. That's another story. But he goes out and says that he wants the President dead in a situation like this. Evita, what is going on with conservatives, and you see it, by the way with educational institutions as well, that we just don't seem to, to be willing to step up to the plate and actually conduct a little bit of economic warfare on our own behalf.
- [12:38]
B
Well, listen, Jack, what you're suggesting is hard for a lot of people to do Star Wars, I mean, just like so many other franchises, I'm thinking of even Lord of the Rings as well, which was taken over by it by Amazon, is, is a quintessential part of Western civilization of American culture. You think about America, people think of Star Wars. It's a part of, especially my parents generation, right? The Gen X, er, it's their childhoods. And so you're suggesting, hey, we have to punish these franchises. We have to actually let them know as consumers that it's not okay to have the lead actor in, in, in one of these franchises, call for the assassination of President Trump in a social media post. But again, like I said, that's a hard thing to do, but it's something we have to do if we want to take our country back, because the way that they have infiltrated our institutions. Yes, I talked about college education. Yes, it's in government. Yes, it's in policies, you centers and think tanks. But it's also in the movies, the TV shows, the music. And we have to fight back culturally if we have any chance of fighting back politically against these demonically possessed individuals.
- [13:47]
A
And it's. It's horrific. I think it's. It's absolutely demonic. There's no question. They prey upon people's weaknesses, their vices, their jealousy, their envy, their pride in many cases. When you look at Hollywood, obviously, pride is a huge part of that. Greed is a huge part of that. And you look at a guy like Mark Hamill, who's made enough money off of Star wars that he's never had to work in another real popular movie series in his entire life. Since then, I know he's done some voice acting and things like that. And, you know, I don't actually have a problem with his acting at all. Right. He's someone that I certainly grew up watching. I certainly grew up watching Star Wars. He did the voice of the Joker and a bunch of Batman properties, video games and stuff. And at the same time, though, conservatives need to actually grow a spine and say, you know something? It's time for us to actually stand up for who we are. Because I'll tell you something right now, if we don't do it, then we are an endangered species. Because they actually want all of us dead. And because they have not faced any serious consequences for their rhetoric, for their actions, they are going to continue to do them. And not only that, they're going to ratchet it up.
- [15:05]
B
Yeah, I mean, that's exactly right, Jack. I mean, you're reminding me also of Bruce Springsteen. This is an individual whose. Whose songs are, like, quintessentially American. Your parents and grandparents, you know, they love the music. You're playing it every Fourth of July. This guy is, like, headlining the no Kings rallies these days. I mean, he's a complete lunatic. Stop listening to his music. Like, we shouldn't be supporting individuals economically who hate us, who, like you said, literally want us dead. And that's how you take the culture back. That's how you demand as consumers that this is. We are going to define who we are as Americans. We're not going to allow a group of psychopaths in Hollywood or to and in the music industry to say, this is what America means. We're this sort of cultural Marxist, you know, godless, horrible country that has nothing to do with our founding or the principles that Western Civ was initially based off of. No, we have to say no to them and take back our country with the power of the purse.
- [16:04]
A
So you talked in your piece about educational institutions. Walk us through what some of your thoughts were there.
- [16:12]
B
Yeah. So this is. This is what. So initially college campuses, right? This, they were founded in Europe in the Middle Ages and they're explicitly Christian. You would. You were pursuing the truth through moral inquiry. Today, that is not the case right now. All of our colleges, the vast majority of them, have been infiltrated with cultural Marxism, with specifically critical theory, which is a flavor of Marxism where they view every aspect of society so, you know, gender, sexuality, race, through this prism of oppressors versus oppressed. And when you do that and you say all these systems need to be dismantled and destroyed in order to have justice and equity, people get violent. That's really the only way that critical theory and cultural Marxism gives you a path for justice. And so these young people, instead of having a normal education where you go and you learn in legitimate fields of study, they go through these programs that are essentially indoctrination programs, these fake fields of study like fat studies and queer studies and post colonial studies, where they learn to be radical leftist and frankly, violent activists. That is how you get Luigi Mangione and all of the others who have tried to assassinate President Trump over the years. That's how you get these people with really violent ideations because they're coming out of these institutions that are inherently broken and that are no longer interested in education, but are in fact Marxist indoctrination machines.
- [17:43]
A
No, they're exactly right. And at the same time, you get, when it comes to, you know, a lot of this, I'm going to say it, it's a slave mentality that people have toward when it comes to their alumni donations. They'll say, oh, well, you know, I might not like this program or I may not like this thing, but I love my school and I love the football and I, I just want to keep my donations up. I mean, that's something that people can do right there. To change your own behavior and actually exercise some economic leverage.
- [18:15]
B
Yeah, Jack. And it's also demanding action from your, your member of Congress, from your state legislature and assemblyman. These schools are funded, even the private ones. You know, billions of dollars every year are going to these institutions for research and other things. And they also have, they sit on multibillion dollar endowments that go privileges need to be rolled back from institutions that fail to actually teach students legitimate fields of study, that have departments that are fake. They literally have critical theory departments inside the University of Chicago where I went to school. They need to be completely.
- [18:51]
A
We'll be right back. Jack Posobic, Vita Duffy talking about this incredible Mark Hamill Star wars controversy calling for the death of President Trump right back. You talk about influencers.
- [19:04]
D
These are influences and they're friends of mine.
- [19:08]
A
Jack so Big. Where's Jack? He's got a great job. All right, folks, Jack so Big, we're back live here Human Events Daily. And send your, send your thoughts in on Mark Hamill's post calling for the death of President Donald James Trump at 1776@Human Events.com, 1776@HumanEvents.com and look, I'm gonna come out and say it right. You know, I watched Star wars growing up. I think most people watch Star wars growing up. But what I'm saying is, is that you have a choice right now to stop spending money and throwing money at Star wars merchandise. These Disney trips. Oh, I'm gonna go to the Galaxy's End. It's gonna be great. I'm gonna stay at the hotel where it's like the Star Wars Hotel. And I'm gonna be like in Star wars, larp it up, man. Just got to larp it up. It's, I'm sorry, It's, it's, it's literally, it's slop. It is Disney slop that they are just throwing at you. It's nostalgia slop. And why would you subject your kids to someone who wants you and your family dead? They finally have gone mask off. And I'm sorry, I'm not, I'm not playing games anymore. Not after Charlie. Not after Charlie. Evita Duffy, I get what you're saying, right? And obviously I'm not, you know, denying the role of Star wars as this huge cultural force right now. But at the same time, I'm saying if we conservatives want to be a cultural force, then we actually do have to exert ourselves.
- [20:41]
B
Yeah, that's right, Jack. One and the other thing that needs to happen is parents just need to take a much more active role in what they're letting their families consume and support, but just also what, what they're ingesting. So we talked the last segment about college campuses, but this, this stuff starts a lot earlier than that. Right. I mean, social emotional learning is essentially cultural Marxism for kindergarteners. And that's in virtually every single classroom across the country. The precondition radicalization of young people immediately the second that they step into a classroom. And it's also coming from the content that they're consuming. Right? Like on television, on the iPad, with the apps. Like, I mean, you have to be so vigilant as a parent to, to, to protect your children from this ideology. Right, because it will consume you. You know, In George Orwell's 1984, one of the most, I think important, but also like most disturbing parts of the book was how the parents feared the children. How many people after January? Six young, you know, 20 somethings teenagers turned in their parents to the FBI. Why would, why would a family member do that to another family member? Well, because these are Marxists. That's what they're trained to do. You're trained to put the ideology in the movement over your own family. It's deeply anti Christian, it's deeply anti Western. But that's what we're facing right now. That's what the stakes are. So if you have to sacrifice Star wars to do the right thing here, I think it's worth it. I don't think Mark Hamill and Luke Skywalker and all of that. It's not worth it.
- [22:10]
A
No. And honestly, you know, there's a bunch of people saying like, you know, hey guys, if you actually want Disney to maybe do the right thing and de woke ify Star wars and remove the sequels from. There's this huge rumor going around that they're going to remove the sequel trilogy from the canon and they're going to do this whole like multiverse thing, change the timeline or whatever. The same way that I know the Avengers series has done this a bunch. And you know, because they realize that people don't want it anymore. It's not selling anymore because they ruined the product. So even if you are a Star wars fan, this is. And you're like, well, like Star wars, it's like, guys, just stop spending the money, okay? You can keep your little lightsaber if you need. Your need to play with your lightsaber. You play your lightsaber every day. Little Star wars fan. Little Warzer. Little Warzer. Little Warsy. Okay, fine, play with your little lightsaber, but stop spending the money right now. And Evita, like tomorrow, okay? Tomorrow, Tyler Robinson, there's. He's in court. There's going to be. It's actually a webex thing, so it's A hearing that's going on. There's this huge ruling coming out as to whether or not. So two things on Tyler Robinson tomorrow. The two rulings are whether or not the preliminary hearing will continue, and it's currently set for may, I believe, 18th, so 10 days from today, give or take, and whether or not there's going to be cameras in the courtroom. So this isn't just some, you know, online debate that we're having. This isn't just some, like, oh, you know, somebody made a post that, like, triggered people or something. No actual people have died. And Tyler Robinson is an example of someone who fell into this ideology in college, by the way, raised by conservative parents, and then went and committed this heinous activity. What, you know, what should we learn from. And hopefully, you know, we get these cameras in the courtroom. But what should we learn from a case like Tyler Robinson?
- [24:15]
B
Well, I mean, so Tyler Robinson is somebody, of course, who was radicalized, right? You. You think you have. You think your kid is going to emulate the values that you raised them with. Suddenly you realize that the culture and the education system is all consuming and it rots their brains. It destroys a person. It destroys their souls. I mean, really, that's what happened to Tyler Robinson. His SOU destroyed the AI influence as well. I mean, that whole element is fascinating. There is something that is. Is deeply spiritual about Tyler Robinson. But there's also, I think you have to think about how many individuals were celebrating after Charlie Kirk died. Like, this isn't just about Tyler Robinson. It's about all of the young leftists on TikTok and Instagram Reels who reacted to the public execution of Charlie Kirk. A husband and a father and a good man. You might disagree with him on one or two issues, maybe a lot of issues. He was a good man, and they laughed at him. They celebrated it and didn't even care what this would do, say, for their future or their employers. That didn't matter to them. They were enthralled by the public killing of a good and innocent man. That tells you that this is a sickness that is deeper than just Tyler Robinson. It is a cultural sickness that is impacting probably millions of young people. That is what we are up against. That is what this trial represents.
- [25:45]
A
And, you know, you have a situation. You have a situation where celebrities, people who met with Barack Obama, who did a video of Barack Obama. Is anyone in the media who was at the White House Correspondent center going to ask Barack Obama if he stands by his buddy's post calling for the Death of the president. Is anyone in media going to actually say, hey, Barack Obama, do you stand by this? Which is an obvious call for violence. Death of the president of the United States by the main character of Star Wars. And again, Disney, this massive corporation where people are going to continue sending their money to Evita Duffy. Where can people go to follow you and to read your piece of Vita Duffy?
- [26:31]
B
Underscore one, you can go to the federalist.com to read my piece. And my husband's running for Congress. His website is Alfonso for Wisconsin f
- [26:37]
A
o r.com he is in fact I think we are working on see if we can get him on next week talk a little bit about birthright citizenship and what states potentially can do. Right back with Rich Barris, Jack Bosoba, Cuban Events Daily continues. And Jack, where's Jack? Where's Jack?
- [26:58]
D
Where is he?
- [26:59]
A
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
- [27:11]
D
and these are the guys who'd be getting Pulitzers.
- [27:16]
A
All right, folks, Jack Posobic back live here, Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice. I want to bring Richard Barris in here, the people's pundit because Rich, you, you know we were just chatting in the break. We're going to have you on about polling. But look man, the Mark Hamill, I've got to get you respond to this Mark Hamill calling for President Trump to die. Yeah.
- [27:39]
D
This guy gave similar irresponsible statements during the first Trump administration. Look guys, I hate to break it to you if you're Star wars fans out there, but but you know, Luke Skywalker's a prick. I mean this guy is not a nice guy. Let's look at the pathology of him for a second because you will notice and we've studied this, Jack, you know, all of these like fanatic leftists who wish violence or conduct violence on right wingers, they all share a similar pathology. He this is an unhappy man whose life was dealt a harsh blow when he was young.
- [28:09]
A
Right.
- [28:10]
D
Look at it guys. If you don't if you're not familiar with Mark Hamilton, he was huge. Obviously he was like America's heartthrob for a while. And before they made that next Star wars, he got into a terrible accident. He was scarred up. It was put everything on, you know, halted everything. They thought it's maybe not even use them to scale him back. Ultimately they did go forward, but he was never the Same. It's basically these. You know, I guess what I'm trying to say is these are unhappy people. These are mentally unhealthy and unhappy people who always make these extreme statements. It goes to, you know, Jim's. Jim Comey is another one. If you're in the loop, as I know you are, and others who are actually in this industry, if you're in the loop, you know, James, call me. For years, everybody used to make fun of him and say, this is a guy with a massive God complex and issues with his.
- [29:00]
A
You know, they called him the cardinal. They called him the card.
- [29:02]
D
That's exactly right. I mean, this guy, for folks, he had these delusions of grandeur and thought that he was way more important to the world than he actually was, and basically that he was morally superior to everybody. And it's weird. I mean, it's just these are not the kind of people that you want in positions of authority, or in Mark Hamill's case. Right. You don't want. This is not someone to look up to. And it's sad because as you. You were a Star wars guy. We were just talking. I was a book guy, too. I went through this with like. Like Stephen King. I had every book when I was young. I love Stephen King book books. And then, you know, they just. I don't know. He runs out of talent. I don't know. And they just turn into these people that are just unhealthy people and not the right people to look up to.
- [29:49]
A
No, it's. It's really not. And it's. It's okay. You don't have to watch Star Wars. You don't need Star wars to raise your kids. In fact, my. I. I tweeted this earlier today, but one of the most proud moments that I've had. So my son's got his first communion coming up, and he just got picked to be one of the rosary leaders at his school this morning. It's like, that's what I'm raising my kid at. And by the way, we watch. We watch movies, we watch TV series, we watch the sandlot, we watch Angels in the Outfield, we watch Little Big League, the Bad News Bears. Normal stuff, fun stuff. I'm not, like, raising some, you know, sheltered, you know, puritan kind of situation. No, of course. I'm just saying you don't have to give money to people who hate you. It's really simple. But conservatives, Rich, why won't conservatives wrap their minds around that? I call it a slave mentality.
- [30:40]
D
It is. And I Mean, right. And it also comes down to, I think for me in our family is priorities. So, you know, you were just saying what you, what you're teaching your kids. I mean, what it comes down to is what he's doing. Those things are important. You know, being a big Mark Hamill fan, right? It's like the, at the end of the day, you just tell your kids, you know, actually kid, the force is not strong with that one.
- [31:00]
A
Right?
- [31:01]
D
Stick to your, stick to what you're doing with the church. It's way, way more better, more influential. Will make you a better person. I think conservatives want to. It's kind of like the nature of, you know, there, there's a certain, you know, nature with leftists, certain nature with right wingers and they want to get along. They want to give everybody the benefit of the doubt. They want to just continue with life as is, whereas the left is militant about it.
- [31:25]
B
It.
- [31:25]
D
And they won't give you their money. They understand that all of that really is part of the fight. It's part of the greater struggle. And the right wants to win elections and then kind of close their eyes and go back to sleep again and carry on with the world. There's also a nostalgia about it, right? You want to be part of that America where. What was Star Wars? I mean, guys, what was the Empire? They were Nazis. I mean, right? I mean, at. They were the, the stormtroopers. That, that's effectively what, what, you know, they were trying to parallel them as or, you know, analogous really to them. And then later, of course, communism. But you know, we did it with Indiana Jones as well. It's, it's just great. It's all wonderful. But look what they did to Indiana Jones. Now that world is gone. And it's sad and we don't all want to admit it, but we have to. I mean, that's, we have to, we have to admit that to ourselves and make our own decisions according to that realization and go forward or we're going to lose.

No, by the way, this is a huge problem for Disney right now because fandom polls had a, a big post. I love those guys. They had a big post up about how nobody's good. We just went through the 10 year anniversary of the first Disney Star wars movie. Guess what? Nobody talked about it. Nobody's going back and watching the new movies. They're watching the old movies because those ones were better. So Disney has got a huge problem on their hands where nobody's buying the new merch. Nobody's going and getting that off the, off the shelf. No one's knowing going and going to do these things. So what are they trying to do? They were trying to go back to the originals. And who's the star of the originals is Mark Hamill. I'm trying to tell you conservatives that you have an incredible mo. You have all the leverage right now. If every conservatives comes, raises their hand and says, I'm not, I'm going to cancel my Disney plus platform subscription. I'm going to cancel my Disney tickets. I'm going to cancel or you know, I'm going to, you know, burn my lightsaber, plastic lightsaber, whatever it is. You start doing that, you watch how fast Disney course corrects because you have them over a barrel.
- [33:27]
D
And look who Disney has doing their market research for them and their branding. And I mean Disney is a client of morning consults, right? And I've long said, I mean they're just the player out there right now. I mean that's it. There are in many ways nowhere else that a lot of these corporations can go to. But I mean it's like a leftist acting, asking a leftist advice about their right wing base. And this holds too with Stephen King, man, the guy would be ruined if right wingers stop reading his books. What do you all of these towns are, are all of his stories take place in Maine, 2nd congressional district, right, where all those conservatives, or I would say right wingers voted for Donald Trump. I mean they, I think it's hard for us to understand this, but a lot of these people, Disney is probably the biggest purveyor of this, Jack. A lot of these companies, they pretended to be something they weren't. They got a fan base that they hate. And now it's hard in some many ways for that fan base to come to the realization that, oh my God, we were used. I mean that's what it really comes down to. And that's human nature. You don't want to believe that. And Disney's kind of riding off of that. They've had guys, guys, guess what, riding on it.
- [34:34]
A
They have their bumps, but guess what? Disney's coffers are deep, but they are not infinite. They are not infinite. Those car, those parks cost a lot to upkeep. They have to have a certain number of people coming in spending a certain number of dollars every single year to be able to maintain them. And if they start to lose that, if they lose, if it's 5%, if it's even 3%, guess what? That's a major, major market signal. They can't keep it going. That's why they're talking about rebooting the sequels. That's why they're talking about this huge course. Correct. They bought Star wars for what, $4 billion from George Lucas a decade ago. And they haven't been able to get their return on investment yet because they turned it, I mean, we can go on about how bad that series was, but they turned it over to people who didn't actually understand what the property was. And unfortunately, you had people like Luke sky or, excuse me, Leo, Mark Hamill playing Luke Sky Walker, who actively, and I'm just going to say it, he walked up in that movie and he took a dump on the Star wars legacy. And I'm talking specifically about the Last Jedi.
- [35:38]
D
Yeah, he did. He did. I was, I don't know that I know any OG Star wars fans that like what Disney or Mark himself have done to the legacy of this, of this project. And you know, I, Look, I understand for you, $4 billion, a lot of money.
- [35:56]
A
Money.
- [35:56]
D
But if you're George Lucas, you can't be happy about this. You know, the direction, you know, the spirit of your creation and what you did. But they can't help themselves. And, you know, a 5% is still a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, Jack. You know, I mean, you, you can, you, you can send whatever signal you want by, you know, just simply not watching it. How many times you got to go to Disney World first, folks? I mean, it's the same thing over and over and over.
- [36:20]
A
No, and the lines, the lines, by the way, the lines are terrible. They don't care about middle class or working class families anymore at all. They, they cater Disney towards the elite now. They cater towards the Disney adults because they know the Disney adults spend more than the kids these days. And so they can get us. They're getting, yeah, they're trying to get more money off a smaller group of people rather than make it what Walt Disney wanted for all kids. And so by changing that. And I could sense that years ago when we were going and we saw the Disneyland, when they did the first, whatever Star wars thing there, this was like 2019. And you know, I was out in California for, for an event and we're going around, I'm like, this is weird. I don't like. And it's all adults with no kids. We're walking around wearing all black, talking about, well, which, which lightsaber do you want to get to tonight? And I want to get the, the Kaibar crystal maxi handle brake mustache. Lightsaber. Oh, you. Well, you want that one. I want the, the, the galactic crys, the yellow Ahsoka spray tan, red crystal. And it's almost sitting there like, do you guys even, like, have lives? Do you even like, have any? It's ridiculous. I don't like it. Hashtag dump. Star Wars. Right back, Jack. So big rich barriers. And I call this the Jack Boic Appreciation hour. I can say confidently, I believe, I
- [37:43]
D
think Josh Shapiro would be the vice
- [37:45]
A
presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Boic.
- [37:47]

And that, that is, I'm, I'm being honest.

All right, Jack Posobic back live here. Human Events Daily. Folks, we're starting to see increasing reports from independent journalists about what some are calling energy lockdowns. These are beginning to take shape in parts of Europe and Australia. The official explanation points to global instability, including conflict with Iran and tightening oil supplies. At the same time, here at home, federal authorities are investigating potential threats. Threats including reports of sleeper cells and alleged plots targeting major US cities and events. That is many Americans asking a simple question. Could this escalate and start to disrupt everyday life? Think about it. Even something as basic as access to medications. We already saw during COVID just how fragile supply chains can be. Here's the reality. Oil is the backbone of nearly everything we rely on. And when global conflict hits, supply chains tightening. Right now, 80% of the medications used in the United States are sourced from overseas. That means shortages can happen quickly. That's why preparation matters. The Wellness company offers a doctor prescribed medical emergency kit with eight core medications that many Americans may want to have on hand. This includes antibiotics, ivermectin and other treatments designed to help with common conditions. Things like urinary tract infection, infections, pneumonia, strep throat. So much more. The process is simple. You complete an online medical questionnaire, a licensed physician reviews it, and your prescriptions are delivered directly to your door. Now, if you're wondering about expiration dates, there's actually a well known military study on this. You can actually look it up yourself. That's PMC 7040264. Again, PMC 7040264. In uncertain times, the most likely disruptions are often the ones people don't think about. The basics that we rely on every day. If you want to learn more, here's where you go.

Folks, I want to get Rich Barris in, because, Rich, you've got a new poll out that you've just shared with us on, you know, and I was asking you this last week when you were on. We were talking, you know, okay, so we're seeing where the president's at. We're seeing where the president's numbers are, but I wanted to see not just who was trusted on issues, but what voters, top issues are. You've got that poll out. Share us the numbers.
- [40:22]
D
Yeah, let me just pretext it with this or preface it with this that, you know, so many pollsters will put out these polls, Jack, and says, what's your most important issue? And you get to choose one, and that's it.
- [40:30]
B
It.
- [40:31]
D
What you see on the screen is called a rank distribution score. So we tell people to rank them in order of importance because it's very often that a voter will go into a voting booth or grab their absentee ballot or whatever with two issues, three issues on their mind. Whatever issues create that narrative. And when you do a rank distribution, that's how you can see what the narrative is for the election. All right, so number one right off the bat is cost of living or inflation. And as you can see from the, the, from the score, it's out in front. It's been out in front for, you know, this entire cycle. It was number one in 2024 as well. The economy and jobs more. More generally, because separate away from that is number two. And then this one concerns me, health care and Obamacare is number three. More so on the cost of health care itself. All right, that's what. When we ask people why, that's what it comes down to. It's just that, you know, and this is the worst part, and I get this, the frustration on the right and on the president himself. I know he's frustrated with this. Democrats cause this. If you're upset about rising health care costs, you should be mad at Democrats. It had been rising before Obamacare, but as predicted, health care premiums, deductibles, everything skyrocketed at a greater pace after Obamacare was implemented and it began to take effect. And that's tragic. But Republicans right now, now are getting the brunt of that because they're the incumbent party. This is new. Crime and safety is now back for several weeks in the top five. It had fallen off after, after, like, three months of Trump's presidency, and we hadn't seen it again in the top five until Recent. I'm wondering about this. We're going to have to keep an eye on this crime and safety. It is a strong issue for the President and a stronger issue for Republicans than it is for Democrats. So I mean, I guess that might be somewhat good news for them, but we'll see. By the way, you see what's happening in LA and the rest of it, maybe that's something to do with that. And then number five is immigration and border security. And we do it like this with these issues, folks, because depending on how you word an issue, you could appeal to one side over the other more. And there's a wording bias in there that may throw off how you, how you, you know, digest those results. So we, if you can see on the screen, how we do it is that we always try to give the issue the way that both sides are, are presented with it. Abortion rights, abortion restrictions or, you know, limitations, whatever it may be. Immigration and border security. Right. So this is how we do it intentionally because we want both sides to tell us truly how important that side of the issue is to them. All right, within one thing I just got to say real quick before I throw it to you, is that independence, actually immigration and border security for them is only number seven. So there really needs to be a two prong approach for Republicans. They need to fire up their base. Oh my God. Don't give legal status to limited number of workers that benefit big GOP donors. That would be a catastrophe. You need to juice your base. Do so. Use the immigration issue and accountability to do that. You know, the clarion call of redistricting is great. We saw in Indiana do that and then pivot to something. If you could choose one, I actually would choose healthcare here, Jack, because healthcare deals with issue number one. And issue number three, because for independence, immigration is down to number seven, corruption and accountability is up. You know, health care and Obamacare, that's up. So deal with their cost of living, their goods, you know that at home, you know, overall how much it is to live and survive and live a decent quality of life. Right. Deal with that first for everybody else and then use immigration to fire up your base. Or accountability endor would be even better. End would be better, right?
- [44:19]
A
No, I think that's exactly right. This is going to be a base election. It's going to be about who can fire up your base and on those specific issues. And, and I'll just say people are not going to come out to vote for foreign policy. It's just not something that fires people up in terms of coming out out to proactively cast a ballot. It's historically never been one. It's not going to be one in 2026. It's going to be those issues that you just outlined. It's going to be those kitchen table issues. It's going to be issues that face, that people face at home is going to be. And look, when I talk about immigration, when I talk about illegals, when anybody does that thing goes like fire. I got, I have people come up to me in real life who talk about things like this, this all the time. And yes, they talk about crime and safety and of course, everybody talks about cost of living. In fact, the, the indirect might be true here because. Are people voting on foreign policy? Yeah, because they tie the cost of gas prices right now to the foreign policy.
- [45:20]
D
I was going to say, which is true, by the way, in this, it is, in this case, a foreign policy issue is basically downside for Republic Republicans, period. And it's traditionally a strong issue for them, but it is hurting. You know, on the screen right now is America first versus maga. So when we ask Republicans to identify as a traditional Republican or do you identify as America first maga? If they say America first maga, we'll ask them, well, which one is it? And we're starting to notice more people side with America first than. I mean, America first cleans maga's clock every day, every poll. So this is actually one of the closer results. It's been 65, 35. And where is, what is fueling that, this divide that we have been hearing about, you know, for how much foreign policy has dominated the agenda in the second Trump administration. And that's a problem. So it's downside across the board. I mean, Republicans, guys, there's been one election in recent, or any memory where foreign policy at all was, was key to Republican strength. That, of course, was 2002, guys. Nine, 11 happened, all right? And it was less foreign policy and more about security, about national security. So people are misreading this completely and they, they're running out of time to read it better. You have to take care of people. Look at this, actually, what's on the screen right now, that's what's going to take over if Democrats win. Can we put that back up? I don't want to, like, tell producers what to do.
- [46:50]
A
We'll have it up on the, on the clip. But you're right, Democrats are coming and they are coming strong. It's time for us to get serious. Rich Barris for people go to follow, right?
- [47:02]

As always, Jack. The best places on locals peoplespundent.locals.com but follow the gram at people's underscore pundit the same as it is on X. Thanks, brother.

Coming in hot on the gram, folks. Dump Star Wars. Stand up for yourselves. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
