For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

This episode dives deep into how international radical left movements mirror U.S. political trends, the urgent need for the American right to adopt an assertive populist stance, and the real-world impact of rising energy prices and military escalation abroad. The 2026 midterms are framed not just as a pivotal moment, but as the battle line for the next generation of American politics—socially, culturally, and economically. The message: the old rules are gone, and the stakes could not be higher.

[Jack Posobiec]

Hey, guys, it's Jack. I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily. So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you hit subscribe, you download it and you share it with five of your friends. Make sure they're all going and downloading as well, because we need to get the signal out as much as possible. Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started and we're only going to do so much more. Let's get it. So we're going to call this the Jack Posobic Appreciation Hour. I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Posobic.

[News Anchor]

And that is.

[Jack Posobiec]

I'm back on with Matt Boyle, Breitbart News. And Matt, so we just saw that clip of Charlie there and of course, talking Pennsylvania politics as we do that. You. And you know, there was something that, and you know about this because you, you up, you've just come back from Greece and there was a story that I tweeted about. And as far as I know, I think I'm one of the first people to tweet about this. Maybe the first, the first person tweet about this where there's this, this Greek prime, the Greek former Greek prime Minister, the leftist Tsipras. You know the names better than I do.

[Matt Boyle]

Yes.

[Jack Posobiec]

Alexis Tsipras was holding some rally with another like left wing actress and this actress, Mariana Tomasito, that she, in response to Charlie's assassination, our friend that she said, get in line and let's see who we kill first before we calm down.

[Matt Boyle]

Yes, yes, it's, it's totally radical.

[Jack Posobiec]

And she, one of the, I mean that's, that's street communist for you, that this is one of the most radical things I've ever heard in terms of risk. But that's more radical than, you know, all the nurses and the teachers and all those things that people were finding. This wasn't just making fun of Charlie. This is saying we're going to come from more conservatives.

[Matt Boyle]

Yes.

[Jack Posobiec]

How is there a guy who's involved in official politics in Greece, establishment politics in Greece, a former prime minister wants to be prime minister again.

[Matt Boyle]

He's running.

[Jack Posobiec]

Who's running? How can he be aligned with somebody like that?

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah, not only aligned, but this was at an event where he was rolling out the formation of a new political party. It's what they call ELAS over there. And it's all Connected up with the radical left and all sorts of different violent movements and whatnot.

[Jack Posobiec]

So it's kind of like the DSA of Greece.

[Matt Boyle]

Very much so. And by the way, what it is, is it's a sign that. And by the way, the quote that you read out that that was in Greek, that she said that, so we had to translate it. But the fact is, is that the. It just goes to show you that we're dealing with similar. The exact things that we're talking about, these major issues and these clashes between the. The radical left and the normal right. Right. Like, I don't know if that's a new term. I just came up with the normal right.

[Jack Posobiec]

The normal right. Yeah.

[Matt Boyle]

I mean, we're normal people. Right. Like, we just want.

[Jack Posobiec]

Rick said something similar about that recently.

[Matt Boyle]

Like, but the point is, is like these, these major clashes that we see, you know, politically, culturally, et cetera, they're happening in every country around the world. This is happening in Greece, it's happening in Italy, it's happening in the United Kingdom, it's happening in France, all over Europe, it's happening in the Middle east, it's happening in China, it's happening everywhere. There are divides like this now in some places, conservatives are actually winning. In places like Greece, like, they have a center right government right now. I've interviewed the Prime Minister a couple of different times. He's been very supportive of what President Trump is trying to do, unlike even the Italians, who have also a center right conservative government. They let us use our military bases. And in Greece, amazing concept, right? Like we're paying for these bases and we had no problem using them in Greece, but in Italy, the Prime Minister wouldn't let us use them. And that's the divide that you see.

[Jack Posobiec]

That's Suda Bay, right?

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah, yeah. And so in Chania, in Crete. Right. Like, so it's the big NATO base. It's the last one before the Middle east and it's extremely important. We probably wouldn't have been able to do what we did in Iran if it weren't for the Greeks and if it weren't for that base that we have there, which is really incredible.

[Jack Posobiec]

I remember that was always one of the plum deployments. If we could pull that. When I was in the Navy, I've been to Hanya. It is amazing that you wanted to get, you wanted to get Suda Bay. You want. So either that or Spain.

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah.

[Jack Posobiec]

You know, and then of course there's like Jack Molesworth and in, in the UK and then like Stuttgart. But it was like, no, no, you want Spain or Greece.

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah. I mean, honestly.

[Jack Posobiec]

Or Gaeta, which is.

[Marcus Voices]

Right.

[Matt Boyle]

Like honestly in Crete. I mean, just amazing. I've been there a couple of different times. I'm pro. I'm actually going back to Greece next week and probably going to end up going back to Crete again. While I'm there, I'm working on some big stories about some Orthodox priests. And there's a really famous Orthodox priest over there in the Greek community who's a really, really amazing guy. His name is Father Dimitri. Greeks will know who I'm talking about when I say that. When I say Father Dimitri. I don't think beyond the Greek community. They fully know him.

[Jack Posobiec]

Is he the one, Is he the one that was.

[Marcus Voices]

He like.

[Jack Posobiec]

He's on does like Mount Athos.

[Matt Boyle]

He was at Mount Essidore in Athens for a while. And so what he was doing and now the church establishments kind of turned on him because what he was doing was he was blessing people with this holy cross. And these were people who were suffering major, major problems. Right. Like people with multiple sclerosis, cancer, brain aneurysms, things like that. And there are a number of different people who have experienced miracles afterwards and they. So I've been interviewing many of these people. So I'm working on a huge story on it for Breitbart. It's going to come out hopefully later.

[Jack Posobiec]

More of like a, like a Christian story.

[Matt Boyle]

It's not even really political. It's not political, no. And so it's really exciting stuff. So. But the point is, is that the same the getting back to the story that you broke on.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, and here's my question, here's my big question on all this. Does this represent a turn? Because we know the communists have, have made pushes in Greece and in Italy, in many of these places for, you know, in the past number of times. It has always been horrifically disastrous. Of course, we see what's going on in Spain right now where they're just letting hundreds of thousands of migrants in. Pedro Sanchez, as far as I can tell, is just a full on communist and is completely betraying his country. Are we seeing a hard left turn in Greece?

[Matt Boyle]

I don't think so. So I think that if you look at the first off, we're going to see another election next year. Prime Minister Mitsutakis is running for a third term. I think that he's leading in the polls, so I fully expect that he's probably going to end up winning here. And a big part of that is going to be because I think people reject the radical left in places like this. And culturally, again, what we're seeing is the same issues that we face here, from migration to trade to national defense and national security, the threats of radical Islam, the rise of the radical left are the same things they're facing there. And I think that people in Greece in particular, after having lived through hundreds of years of Ottoman occupation during the Ottoman Empire, their Turkish occupation, and also very recently having had the financial crisis in 2010, they recognize the threat of what happens when you let leftists into control. And that's why I think that, you know, continuing to expose this stuff, I think your story is kind of feel, I've heard from people it's totally blown up across Greece since.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well and it kind of ties with sort of what we were saying about the DSA here in the United States where Spain or excuse me, I keep saying Spain, Greece sort of had their, they had their financial crisis. People said, oh my gosh, this is so terrible. They turned the left back in 2010 and it just, it, I mean you saw Greece almost was kicked out of the EU because of how horrific the debt became. About the spending. That was the left and that was the left. That's what I'm saying. The left completely ruined the economy of Greece. And then finally people said, this is so crazy. We have to go back to a center right government. That's where they're at now. So that's why I'm saying that, you know, it's number one, we in America can't go down that path. And because this is how it always turns out. And number two though, the people of Greece, you would hope that because this is fairly recent history that they'd be, you know, smart enough to not fall for it.

[Matt Boyle]

I think that's, I think that they aren't going to fall for it. I think they're very smart people and I've gotten to know many people over there in my travels there in around the world. And the one thing I would say too getting back to we're all, we're

[Jack Posobiec]

all talking about the, the, the Greeks right now because of the Odyssey.

[Matt Boyle]

And you know, I'll tell you this, they are not happy with that film really, given how woke it is really stuff. Yeah, they are not happy I even know Greek left because there's no, because there's.

[Jack Posobiec]

Are there any.

[Matt Boyle]

No Greeks in it?

[Jack Posobiec]

There's no Greeks. Yeah, because I, we watch. We went back when I was my boys and I showed him the original with it's Kirk Douglas plays. It's. Well, it's Ulysses because they use the Latin. So it's, it's, it's, it's, you know, that one. And it's so good. It's just so good. And then I watched the new one by myself, like on the plane and I was like, what is this?

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah.

[Jack Posobiec]

By the way, it reminds me of like the Matt Damon's Iraq war movie.

[Matt Boyle]

Yes.

[Jack Posobiec]

That I'm like, this is just the same movie. It's like a guy with PTSD and

[Matt Boyle]

it's like Christopher Nolan just making films to distribute in China. So.

[Jack Posobiec]

So the gre. The Greeks are actually.

[Matt Boyle]

They don't like it.

[Jack Posobiec]

They're up in arms.

[Matt Boyle]

But look beyond the whole Odyssey question, the one thing, the last point I would make here is that there are great young people all around the world. In Greece, in Italy. I've been to Serbia as well, all around the world. I've been to Scotland in the last year where I interviewed President Trump. I've met so many great young conservative people that were inspired by people like Charlie Kirk. And I think that the future of the west is very strong. So I feel good about it in

[Jack Posobiec]

the birthplace of the West. Matt Boyle working do follow you just

[Matt Boyle]

mbo1 on X Twitter and real Matt Bole on True Social.

[Jack Posobiec]

All right. It was Green Zone, by the way. Green Zone was the movie, I'm thinking very similar to Hurt Locker. But Hurt Locker was not Matt Damon. It was Green Zone. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay.

[Marcus Voices]

And Jack. Where's Jack? Where's Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you. Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys should be getting bullishers.

Okay, we're on with Map Oil, the Washington bureau chief of Breitbart News and that there's something else that's coming up. We're talking about how the 2026 election sets up 28, 30 and then eventually 32. One of the biggest things that I think a lot not on the radar for a lot of people. But do you remember the redistricting fights that we were having throughout the past year? I think Republicans actually did gained about

[Matt Boyle]

10 or 11, you know, win that

[Jack Posobiec]

pretty, pretty well despite the efforts of many Republicans like Indiana and others who tried to fight, fight it tooth and nail. Speaking of the old party, we actually did win that fight. There's going to be another redistricting fight in a sense coming up in 2032 because it's the 2030 census. Talk to me about how what Republicans do right now actually is setting up the fight for that.

[Matt Boyle]

Well, not even we don't have to wait till then. In the 2028 election. We're going to see Republicans, many of the states that didn't do redistricting this year will do it in 2028. So I think Indiana will come back around because President Trump went, you think

[Jack Posobiec]

they'll take another bite at the end?

[Matt Boyle]

I think they will. And so President Trump crushed them in the primaries in all the ones that he endorsed in. So I think that all the ones that were against it were for the most part wiped out. And then I think places like Georgia, South Carolina, other states may do and some of the ones that we've already seen do, some may do more. So Republicans may pick up another, you know, five to 10, maybe even 15 seats in 2028. So whatever majority Democrats were to build in the 2026 elections, if they were to get one, which is still kind of tbd again, it kind of gets back to what I was talking about in the previous segment there about where the country is and where the generic ballot is and so on and so forth. But even if, let's say Democrats got a 5 to 10 seat majority. I think it's very short lived. Right. Like, so the power that they get, I mean they're in trouble in 2028, then in 2030 and obviously in 2028 we have a presidential election. Right. Like, and I think it's pretty clear that we're going to see the vice president. J.D. vance will probably be the, the, the Republican nominee. I can't really see anybody running against him. And then who Democrats nominate will really determine how that goes and so on and so forth. But I do think that is very likely to become the next President of the United States. And then in 2030 we're going to see the census. The census. Then you know what they do is they count up all the Americans in America and they then. And they figure out how many are in each state and then by the populations of each state they do what's called the reapportionment where they then assign a certain number of congressional districts to states based off their population. It's probably an oversimplification here, but one of the things that I think we can expect is, is because the 2020 census didn't fully pick up all the internal migration that we saw because of COVID It's amazing because we just saw Fauci testifying on Capitol Hill this week. It's kind of a star.

[Jack Posobiec]

Did he testify? I don't know if you can call

[Matt Boyle]

that, I guess, you know, pleading the Fifth non stop, I guess isn't really testimony. But the point is, is that with seeing him on Capitol hell and by

[Jack Posobiec]

the way, leading the first once you already have a pardon is absolutely contempt the Congress.

[Matt Boyle]

Oh yeah, without question.

[Jack Posobiec]

That's a Peter Navarro went to jail for. And not only was that contempt, it was contempt to their face.

[Matt Boyle]

By the way, they should 100% hold them in contempt and then refer to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution.

[Jack Posobiec]

Plus, by the way, so I was told that if you give an opening statement, you can't plead the Fifth.

[Matt Boyle]

After that I didn't understand how he. The how does that even. I think his lawyers were squirming there and I think that there's going to be some major things there. I'm not a lawyer, so we'll let the lawyers decide this in court and so on and so forth. But I don't think that this is, that his decision to do that is going to hold up. But what I was getting at there is, was a stark reminder of everything that happened during COVID where people moved from inside our country. They moved from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, California, to red states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee, other red states around the country. I think you're going to see a number of red states pick up congressional seats when the census is done. And I think you're going to see a number of blue states lose congressional seats. It could be enough theoretically here. And I think that, you know, we'll see how it plays out in the 2030 census that a Republican could win the White House from 2032 onwards without the Rust Belt. Right. Like so without the Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin.

[Jack Posobiec]

So what's interesting about that is the

[Matt Boyle]

math could add up that way. Yeah.

[Jack Posobiec]

It's, it's not that you're winning it without the Rust Belt, it's that the Rust Belt voters have moved to the Sun Belt.

[Marcus Voices]

Yes.

[Jack Posobiec]

In a sense. So what's, what's, and I want to be, be explaining something by the way, to, to Republicans who might miss, misread what's going on here. That, that doesn't change the fact that this is going to be, these are going to be white working class voters that are, that are in different states because it's going to change the nature of the Sun Belt when they bring that more Rust Belt politics mentality to the Sunbelt.

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah. And not only that, but also you might be able to again, if you, you should still be competing in places like Pennsylvania, it be very grassroots. Right? Yeah. But if you, if you're a Republican candidate and you win a Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin in that mathematical setup, you, I mean it's lights out for the Democrats. Like they have no pathway without those, like they're going to absolutely need all of those. And then Democrats are going to, it's going to make a Democrat winning the White House harder. It's going to make it easier for a Republican to win the White House if it all shakes out the kind of the way.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, and a lot of that, a lot of that was Covid.

[Marcus Voices]

Right.

[Jack Posobiec]

A lot of that was the Rust Belt states. Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania were extremely draconian during COVID They all had Democrat leadership during that time. Ohio also had Democrats seeming leadership, I should say, in terms of the wine, because they had Rhino leadership. So it's basically the same thing. That's what I'm getting at. And so that's, that led to a lot of this migration, this northern migration south. But, but the census just hasn't really caught up yet, right?

[Matt Boyle]

It hasn't caught up yet because I mean they did the census in 2020, but it was. Right. But the fact is a Lot of these people maybe didn't move to late 2020 or early 2021 or 21, 22, 23 even. Right. Like, and they were probably, you know, maybe some of people moved and followed their family members as late as 23 or 24, 25. And I, again, I just don't think it's caught up yet. And so when the 2030 census is done, you're going to see it's going to be a lot harder for Democrats to win a majority in the House of Representatives, and it's going to be a lot harder for Democrats to win come around for 2032. So again, that's what makes the 26, 28 and 30 elections so important, I think, is because if Republicans can hold it together for a little bit longer here, the then it's going to be lights out for the Democrats. Look, the long money in this country is on the American right. The right is rising, the left is rising, getting more and more desperate. And I think that's part of why you're seeing the stuff we were talking about there with Evita earlier in the, in the show of the rise of the radical left. They're getting more desperate because they see exactly what I just laid out for you, too. They know what's coming. They know the math, they know the numbers, they know the, all of this stuff. And so, and they know that the right is, is on track to win long term as well. So I think that the left is getting more and more desperate and more and more radical in the candidate selection that they have. What they're doing is a movement and they're showing their true face. The mask is slipping.

[Marcus Voices]

Right.

[Matt Boyle]

So we're.

[Jack Posobiec]

No, but unfortunately, you know, you, you look at some of the, like I think about Pennsylvania and I think about Fetterman, you know, and there, there are possibilities that, you know, you get like a DSA type. I could see a DSA type being elected in Pennsylvania.

[Matt Boyle]

Oh, absolutely. And by the way, if I was, and certainly I wanted to run for reelection, look, I like Senator Fetterman a lot. Right. It got leaked somewhere when I had dinner with him not that long ago. I'd like to say I've said, and

[Jack Posobiec]

for the record, I've never spoken to them public or private. I'd like to see the votes match the rhetoric a little bit more, though.

[Matt Boyle]

I would, too. But I also think if I were him and I wanted to win. Look, I talked to him about this when I met with him. I told them not to switch parties, honestly. So really, at the Time. But now, even now, now I Would you go, okay, so now, it was a year ago. Now, I would say, if I were Senator Fetterman and he wants to win reelection as a senator, he has to switch parties and join the Republican Party. And then, because otherwise he's, he's in for a really rough time in the primary.

[Jack Posobiec]

And I'm just going to say that if he wants to come in, we've. We've got to see the votes match the rhetoric or else why Republicans get behind a guy who's just been a Democrat his entire time right now, that's, that's. And by the way, Arlen Spector tried this, too, the other way.

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah.

[Jack Posobiec]

You know the history of party switching in Pennsylvania Senate seats right back Jack Posobic, Matt Boyle.

[Marcus Voices]

Today. You know, they talk about influences. These are influences, and they're friends of mine. Jack. Where's Jack? He's got a great job.

[Jack Posobiec]

All right, folks. Jack Paso, big. We're back. Human events. Before we get started, I want to thank Allegiance Gold for doing everything they do to make our coverage possible.

And Evita, I, I, I. Well, the clock, the unforgiving clock cut you off. Please continue your point.

[Evita Duffy]

Well, I just want to say, Jack, you know, we have a real serious threat facing our country with these Democratic socialists. I mean, these are radical individuals. I mean, yes, they want to abolish the police. They want to abolish private property, but it's really important that we have fighters on the other side who understand how far this goes. My family suffered through this The Spanish Civil War and fought communists. Then my husband, who's running for Congress in Wisconsin, 7th District, his family fled communist Cuba. We both have an intimate understanding of the violence, the chaos, the destruction, the misery that socialism, which really what they're saying is it's communism. What that leads to, it is destructive. You documented it in your book. We need people who understand the stakes to fight back at this. This is not a game. This is not politics. This is not 1990 Bill Clinton politics. We are dealing with radicals, with insane people who do literally want to see you dead. Even the people that applauded when Charlie Kirk was murdered in public.

[Jack Posobiec]

Evita. So we've just seen Zora Mandami's government post their list of the enemies, the enemies of the state in New York. Tell me what happens after they, the communists post the list of the wealthy landowners and the addresses. What, what typically happens in a communist system right after they do that?

[Evita Duffy]

Jack the list is, is a, it's a hit list. That's what this is. It's not, this is this, there's no games here. This is not politics. This is a list to murder people. I mean literally. Jack during the Spanish Civil War, you know that my family, they were prolific Catholic but conservative writers and they were targeted. My great grandfather was thrown in jail. But also there's a religious aspect to this as well. There's a reason why Mamdani has been so vehemently anti Catholic in New York. He has, I mean elevated every other religion ideation out there, but has, has, has shown a hatred toward the Catholic Church for some reason. Jack this is because they hate Christianity. They hate God himself. And a Catholic priest who was a family member, family member of mine during the Spanish Civil War was murdered by the communists. That is what is at stake.

[Jack Posobiec]

100 Matt Boyle so you know, this is why one of the things that, that that's so important about this, this 2026 election, it's actually about setting the stakes for 28, for 30 and 32, isn't it?

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah, yeah, no doubt about that. And by the way, I think Evita has made several great points here about how you need to have. Look, the other side is serious. They are unleashing, you know, for on and so forth that are, I mean they're dead serious about what the things that they want to do when they say they want to do all these crazy radical things, I think you should believe them. But what we need is on the right in this country, Trump like candidates. There's the idea that you can just Return to the old way of doing things, the mitt Romney, John McCain party, the Paul Ryan party. It's not going to work. Right? I mean, you need real fighters that are going to go in there and take these people, people the task and go win the, the. And unleash the base on. Because I, I still think that the right is stronger in America for a variety of reasons. I think that the values that, that exist out there on the right are, are much more attractive. And, but again, you need people that are going to go very clearly make that case. We've seen the Republican Party shifting and it's been a good thing, uh, over the course of the last 10 to 15 years, in the lead up to Trump winning in 2016, during his first term, during the time in between, and now during his second term, where we seen great senators getting elected, great members of Congress. But the concern is that in the wake of Trump down the road later, that there might be a reversion to the mean, if you will, where Republicans go back to just losing gracefully and allowing the radical left to continue to chip away at our freedoms, rights and American way of life, which is, again, they're abundantly clear every day about what they want to do. So I think when they say they want to do all these crazy, radical things, we should believe them and then we should go out there and fight and counter them. And so what we need to see are good candidates that are stepping up, people that have the resources and the wherewithal and the ability to do that. We've seen a lot of great candidates emerge in recent elections, but you got to keep that going.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, I think I'd be remiss if I, and I know we showed the website, but if you. I'd be remiss if we're talking about the great candidates that are emerging in the election. Do you, do you happen to know any. Could you, could you think of one off the top of your head? Maybe?

[Evita Duffy]

Listen, my husband, Michael, he understands the stakes. He's running in Wisconsin, 7th congressional district. He's a fighter. And let me tell you all tell you something else. He's also the hardest working person in this race. I mean that, I mean, he is. We are everywhere. I'm in the car right now because we're on the campaign trail. We don't get a break. We bring our baby with us. That's the kind of energy that we need in Congress. This, this. The stakes are too high. We're fighting for the soul of our country. We don't have time for lazy candidates. We don't have time for lazy appeal. And the other thing I'm going to say this is, this is happening with young people. The, the, the cancer of democratic socialism which again is really communism. It is growing out of our universities, of even our elementary schools with social emotional learning. You need young fighters who understand where this is coming from and can message to young people. The messenger matters. Trump is wonderful. We have great older people as well, but we need young people to message to young people in addition to some of the older fighters that we have in our movement. Because if we don't, Jack, we're going to lose this generation. We lose next generation. We do lose America.

[Jack Posobiec]

Vida, I know you guys gotta run. You're on the field. You're literally going to events right now. Tell people where they can go to follow you and get, get in touch with your, your husband's campaign there.

And I wanted to really focus on midterms today and put together, you know, and it's sort of an impromptu political panel. And so I wanted to bring the folks in and explain who we have got. So first up, we've got the great Evita Duffy, who's joining us from on the campaign trailer over there in Wisconsin. Vida, how are you doing?

[Evita Duffy]

Good, Jack. Working hard. We're on the road.

[Jack Posobiec]

You are. You are on the road. Your husband's running for Congress. And of course, you've got this DSA candidate, this Francesca Hong, who's, who's running in your race. I want to ask about that in, in just a second, Ed. I also want to bring in here live in studio, we've got the Washington bureau chief of Breitbart News, Matt Boyle. What's up, Matt?

[Matt Boyle]

What's going on, Jack? You knew, you knew.

[Jack Posobiec]

We, we had to start doing the Boyle midterm election breakdowns. You know, we kind of.

[Marcus Voices]

Exactly.

[Jack Posobiec]

We kind of. We're starting a studio. We're starting. Thank you. I appreciate that. No, it's real. Marcus Voices has, has done a great job in setting it up. And you, you, we started back what, you know, I think I had like a basement studio a couple years back doing a tiny little thing like Shoebox, and now look at us, right?

[Matt Boyle]

Like the zoom camera call.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, we didn't talk about the zoom camera. Hey, Evita's on a zoom camera call right now. She's in her car, but it's all right. She'll, she'll, she'll make it look great. So, Evita, let's start with you. You know, because you're there in Wisconsin, you're on the ground, and I understand that you have some, you have some interesting thoughts about this. So it looks to me like Francesca Hong is in the pole position going into the race for governor in Wisconsin. A lot of people have told us that, oh, you know, and we've got this other guy, Abdul El Sayed, right across the way there in Michigan across the lake for you. And, and you know, people are saying, oh, well, you know, these far left candidates are going to win. And that's actually good and helpful for the general election. What do you think about that? Do you think that they're too far out of the lockstep of the Rust Belt to win.

[Evita Duffy]

Jack, I was at a. I was at America Fest last year and I was talking to some young TP action guys who were on the ground and I said, do you guys think Francesca Hong, who is this radical Democratic socialist, could she actually win the primary for the governor in Wisconsin? And they were like, no, there's no way. She's too crazy. The Democrats aren't going to put her up. She can't win. And we are now in a position, Jack, in Wisconsin where she is very likely to win. She's the most likely to win per the polling. And not only is she most likely to win among the Democrats, but she's crushing it with young people, Jack, under 44. And the Democratic primary polling shows they're going 74% for Francesca Hahn. I mean, this is like over.

[Jack Posobiec]

I just want to be clear, are you talking primary or general primary? Okay, so. So Democratic voters, let's say she wins the primary and. All right, so let's say she. Let's just. Let's stipulate that. Let's stipulate that she wins. Do you think that translates into the general?

[Evita Duffy]

I think, Jack, that there is a very good chance it does. And here's why. Because what friend? Even though I don't agree with Francesca Hong at all, and I think that she's radical and she's crazy and the policies that she has are going to lead to equitable suff for everybody, she's talking about the things that people care about. Right? She's talking about affordability. She's talking about making life easier for regular Wisconsinites. She's talking about populism, economic populism, left wing populism, which is very dangerous. But she's talking about populism. And on the right, I think we have to respond the exact same way with right wing populism with unleashing American energy independence, getting up deportation numbers to bring up the value to getting up deportation numbers to bring up the value of labor in this country doing things that help working class families. If we don't do that, what Francesca Hong and Mamdani and all of the Democratic socialists are offering is actually very appealing.

[Jack Posobiec]

And so. So that's the offer of socialism, which of course never pans out. But to your point, it become very popular. I want to get Matt Boyle. And so, so Boyle, you're seeing this as well. You've got Abdul Said, you've got Francesca Hong, we've seen Mondami. And I think what Evita is saying is it tracks, right? It's.

[Matt Boyle]

It, yeah.

[Jack Posobiec]

There are these popular, hey, we're going to give everybody free stuff if you vote for us type of policies. And the danger is, of course, that if people see the high gas prices and we're talking, by the way, Wisconsin, Michigan, that doesn't get more rust belt than that, then what danger does that pose for Republicans in the general?

[Matt Boyle]

Well, let's start from the, from the point that these people are all fraudulent. Right. Like they're liars. Trust me, socialists are liars. And you're not going to. They're not going to. I mean, they're scamming people. Win elections.

[Jack Posobiec]

You would be hard pressed to find a show that's more anti communist.

[Matt Boyle]

This one. Right. But like, for sure. But just that being said, I think that the energy that is there right now on the radical left, on the rise of these socialist candidates around the country, if I were the Republicans, I would much rather face establishment Democrats than socialist Democrats in a lot of these different races because I think that the energy for the base. Look, I'm a base guy, right. Like I care about where the bases of the parties are. Right. Like so, you know, it reminds me a lot of 2016 where you had Trump was the base candidate of the Republican Party and Bernie Sanders was the base candidate of the Democrat Party. Hillary was the establishment candidate. Base candidates energize their base. And that's where the Democrat base is right now. I think I saw a recent polling that showed something like 35% of Democrats now identify as Democrat socialists. And, and the energy is with those people. And this is why in their party, and if they can translate that into general election energy, then they're going to win elections now.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, and, but just on that point, this is why my senator, John Fetterman, is. It started quietly and now it's pretty loudly making these comments about, you know, making noise like he might want to drop the D next to his name because he knows he'll face a primary challenge in 28.

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah, no, absolutely no doubt. And by the way, he's actually somebody who's really fascinating to me like Federman and I think, you know, would, would he's somebody who was with the kind of the, the left base when he won his election and has since drifted far away from him because the issue of Israel. Yeah, it's because of that. And, and also a lot of the other radicals, which by the way, is

[Jack Posobiec]

going to be a problem for Shapiro too, if he wants to run for something else in 28. But, but Boyle Before I go back to Evita, finish your point earlier. You were saying what, so what does this mean for the general?

[Matt Boyle]

For the general, I think that the more socialist candidates they have, the more energy they have going into the general election, they want to unleash their bases energy. The generic ballot polling shows it anywhere from a two to a five or six point race between Republicans and Democrats. For Republicans to hold their majorities in the House and the Senate, they would probably need it around two, maybe three Democrat point. What I'm talking about is the lead Democrats have, have on the generic ballot nationally. So if it's a D 2 or D 3 electorate, Republicans could probably hold their majorities. If it's four or more, then Democrats are probably going to take the majority in the House and maybe the Senate. So the Democrats best chances I think, and I think their base is very smart in doing this. Bernie Sanders is sending staff into Michigan right now to help. Al said that was the big story this morning. They're very smart to try to unleash that energy on their side because if it's a three or a four point, you know, general election national generic ballot that, you know, having a lot more energy in some of these key races is going to help them take more seats in the.

[Jack Posobiec]

Let me, let me, let me go back to Evita Duffy now. So, Evita, you're there, you're on the ground in, in Wisconsin. Are you seeing that as well? We got this breaking news that, you know, Bernie Sanders, these DSA types, they're now shifting infrastructure, they're shifting staff and resources into Michigan. Are you seeing things like that in Wisconsin as well?

[Evita Duffy]

Well, certainly she, so Francesca Hong has appeared on, on, on, on shows with, with mom Donnie. He's signaled that he supports her. I don't know if Bernie Sanders has come into the state of Wisconsin yet, but he would, I think he'd be dumb not to because this woman's gonna win. I mean, she's, she's, I mean she's extremely radical. This is somebody who said she wants to abolish the police. You know, she's, she had crazy ideas about COVID She does not like America. She does not like our founding principles. And that's really what the DSA stands for. And she's, she's gonna be a champion for them. So I, and there's, there's a problem right now on the Republican side. I think that we are gravitating toward the more establishment candidates. Right. Like I think in the age of post trauma, I think a Lot of people are thinking that way. Right. Because he's going to be out of office eventually. That, that the John McCain, the party of John McCain, the party of like maybe Mitt Romney, that they're going to come back and take control. This is happening in Wisconsin, but this is happening in states across the country. And the problem that I see, Jack, is the, the party of, of, of pre Trump is going to fail against a Mamdani, against a Francesca Hong, against a Bernie Sanders. The American people are not there right now.

[Jack Posobiec]

Wait, are you, are you talking about like the party of Paul Ryan who lost his own home state of Wisconsin?

[Evita Duffy]

Yes. We need to have, I think a clear eyes about where the American people are and what they want. And it's not the same old, it's not going 20 years into the past. It is MAGA populism and that's what's going to, I think win voters over.

[Jack Posobiec]

And we're coming up on a quick break, but just hold that thought. And by the way, Matt, well, correct me if I'm wrong, Romney was the governor of Massachusetts, but what was his actual home state again?

[Matt Boyle]

Utah. So was he born in Utah or

[Jack Posobiec]

is he born in Michigan? I thought he's born in Michigan. Michigan, yeah, he was born in Michigan where his father had been the governor. So they both lost the Rust belt is my point. They're both from the Rust Belt. They both lost the Rust Belt. Understand if you are looking at a national election, you need to understand the rust Belt. Jack the Sobec back with our political panel here on Human Events Daily. Real marcus, voice. This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

[Evita Duffy]

A commentator, international social media sensation and former Navy intelligence veteran.

[Jack Posobiec]

This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobic. Christ is king. This summer, Democratic socialist candidates have been

[Matt Boyle]

gaining attention by winning Democratic primary races across the country.

[News Anchor]

Despite President Trump pressuring the Fed to lower interest rates, investors continue to predict the Federal Reserve will keep rates steady. That's because inflation remains persistently high. It's impacted by oil and gas prices from the ongoing war in Iran.

[Jack Posobiec]

So would you like to abolish the Senate? That's, that's part of our platform. And we don't think that's extreme. We think it's, it's a change that would help make this country more democratic. The government is going to have to borrow 8.3 trillion with a T dollars this year and that is obviously a

[Matt Boyle]

huge amount of money relative to anything

[Jack Posobiec]

it's borrowed in the past overnight.

[News Reporter]

President Trump ordering new airstrikes on Iran after their supply attack on an American base in Jordan Tuesday.

[Marcus Voices]

We're going to be hitting them very hard because it's our turn to hit them.

[News Reporter]

U.S. central Command says they hit dozens of military targets, including command centers, missile facilities and maritime capabilities. Social media footage shows smoke rising on Kesham island in the Persian Gulf. And video from Iranian TV shows people digging through debris at what they claim is a residential building. And now new concerns the war is expanding to other countries. An American owned tanker and two ships in Egypt were hit by drones.

[News Anchor]

The Islamic Republic may soon be receiving some backup from China. A new report says the following quote, Iran is expected to receive within weeks a first shipment out of up to 400 Chinese made shoulder fired air defense missile launchers. The purchase valued at 60 to 70 million dollars as one of Tehran's largest known efforts to strengthen its short range air defenses. Here's what President Trump had to say when asked about this report.

[Marcus Voices]

Well, that would be surprising. I've made things like that happen, but that would be surprising. He told me very strongly he wouldn't partake, but he knows I'd be quite disappointed.

[Jack Posobiec]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We're here Live in Washington, D.C. today is is July 30, 2026 Anno Domini. And folks, you saw the news from late last night, early this morning, the escalation of the war in Iran in the middle of a tight election year. And we're seeing of course, the news now that the president is weighing multiple options for further escalation. Wall Street Journal has a story out that there's a US Commander with a two week plan to escalate strikes across all of Iran. I believe we saw the GC headquarters was struck last night. And of course we had the caskets of four US Soldiers arrive home just last week as well. We're also hearing that there's a potential for more strikes coming forward in terms of strikes not just on the direct infrastructure of the coast, but actually on infrastructure further afield directly targeting the regime is itself. And so of course, there's many questions as to how far this goes. Who is going to blink first? Is it going to be the president or is it going to be Iran and the mullahs? And it certainly doesn't seem like either of them are interested in this. All the while mounting questions are growing about how the Republicans are going to deal with the rise of gas prices in an election year. And remember the rise in gas prices, the rise in energy costs, oil costs, sweeps over everything. That means your energy, that means your, your home energy is going to go up. That means the price of your goods is going to go up, the price of your groceries is going to go up, your cost of living is going to go up at a time. But we know the Democrats were already trying to make this election all about affordability. This was always the danger of getting involved in a prolonged and protracted fight with Iran because Iran has asymmetrical effect on the world's energy supply vis a vis that choke point, that, that artery of empire, as we've called it on this show, the Strait of Hormuz. That if they were to come in and block up the Strait of Hormuz, they knew that they could hurt the world economy even more than they could if they were going directly at the military. That's what asymmetric warfare is all about. And now, of course, we hear, and we've seen that the Red Sea is opening up as well, because the Red Sea has become this alternate route out. Well, what are they doing? They are targeting, with their friends and their buddies, the Houthis and the Asia militia groups, the PMF across Iraq are now targeting Saudi Arabia. The Houthis are targeting shipping in the Red Sea. A lot of questions coming up. A lot of hard questions and serious decisions need to be made from the White House, from the Pentagon. What is the plan going forward? What is the exit strategy? What does, does the wind condition look like? What does a deal look like with the Iranians? Is there a path back to the mou? Is there a path back to the ceasefire? Because voters across the Rust Belt are looking at this. And as a guy from Pennsylvania, I'll tell you right now that voters in Pennsylvania do not want to vote for higher gas prices. Voters in Pennsylvania do not want to vote for higher cost of living, higher groceries and that. And that's going to be the same thing in Michigan. That's going to be the same thing in Wis. Wisconsin. That's going to be the same thing in Ohio. That's going to be the same in North Carolina, Maine. All of these places, right? All of these places where there are tight races going on in, in the Senate, some cases for the governorship. And it's going to be something where Republican candidates increasingly are going to be asked, what are you doing with the war in Iran? We're seeing it, but the questions are mounting right back. Jack Kobic, Real America's Voice, Human Events Daily. Sam.
