Russia is making rapid advances in eastern Ukraine. In a fresh offensive push, Russian forces have captured multiple villages Indonesia and Dnipro regional. Ukraine has confirmed Russia's offensive onslaught. According to Ukraine's General Staff, 69 combat engagements took place across the battlefield in 24 hours. Kyiv claims dozens of Russian attacks were repelled, but Russian forces were successful in breaching Ukrainian defense in several places.
Jack Posobiec
If the victory wasn't stolen from him in 2020, maybe the Ukrainian crisis that.
Dan Caldwell
Arose in 2022 should have never appeared.
Unknown Speaker
I'm not so interested in talking anymore. He's. He talks. We have such nice conversations, such respectful and nice conversations, and then people die the following night.
Dan Caldwell
Russia, earlier you said that you were going to change the deadline from 50 days.
Unknown Speaker
What is your new deadline? I'm going to make a new deadline of about 10, 10 or 12 days from today. There's no reason in waiting. There's no reason in waiting. It's 50 days. I want to be generous, but we just don't see any progress being made.
Shane Cashman
Last administration lost track of 300,000. So President Trump committed. We're going to find every one of these children. We've already found 13,000 of these kids. Over 13,000 of these kids.
Jack Posobiec
New details about what Team Trump wanted to know. Over these past two days of talks.
Shane Cashman
With Maxwell, she was asked maybe about 100 different people. She answered questions about everybody and she didn't hold anything back.
Jack Posobiec
A hundred different people, A hundred names, Mr. President.
Unknown Speaker
And by the way, I never went to the island. And Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times. I never went to the island. But Larry Summers, I hear, went there. He was the head of Harvard and many other people that are very big people. Nobody ever talks about them.
Jack Posobiec
There was a group of people who.
Shane Cashman
Attacked a couple folks on the street in Cincinnati. Oh oh.
Jack Posobiec
What I saw is a.
Shane Cashman
Mob of lawless thugs beating up on an innocent person.
Jack Posobiec
And it's disgusting.
Shane Cashman
And I hope every single one of those people who engage in violence is.
Jack Posobiec
Prosecuted to the full extent of law. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard. Today's edition, Human Events Daily, here live. Washington, D.C. today is July 28, 2025. Anno Domini. Over the weekend, there were a number of stories that came out, but one of the ones that came across the wire that I just couldn't stop thinking about over and over and over was this massive, obviously racially incited mob violence in Cincinnati. And people want to go back and forth. They say, oh, well, you know, someone said something, and that led to this, and this led to that, and people are being intimidated. I said, look, look, look. It's very clear that what started out as a situation, and this is me just watching the videos. And as I've always said, in any situation, show me what happened 60 seconds before the viral video began. Show me what happened before. Of course, and I'm always going to have that standard. So show me what happened before. Show me the context. But what you can see on the videos is very clear. There are women being thrown to the ground and stomped on and beaten. Young women, old women. And you hear a mob of people cheering, cheering, applauding, clapping. We don't have to live like this. We shouldn't live like this. And in a serious country, it wouldn't take the federal government getting involved for this situation to be dealt with. Mob violence, regardless of if it's a white mob or a black mob, should always be put down. There's no question. The only question, apparently, is that people have, is whether or not anyone cares. Because you saw over the weekend that it was social media that drove this story to the national forefront. It was not, in fact, local media. It was not, in fact, national media. No, it was social media. Social media. And the special connection that the Trump administration has with social media. Donald Trump himself, of course, being a longtime user of social media, in fact, the platform X, even though he doesn't quite use it as much as he used to, he now has Truth Social. Elon Musk drove this over the weekend. And of course, JD Vance, who hails from Ohio and is the former senator of Ohio, is now our vice president, and he has spoken out of against it as well. Folks, it's becoming untenable, becoming completely untenable over and over and over. If two people want to engage in mutual combat, that's one thing. All right, we have no idea what started this? But what you're seeing here is group on group violence where we are members of one racial group, so we are black and you're white. So we're going to wage violence on all of you. All right? This is what happens when civilizations break down. This is what happens when societies break down. This is what happens when the rule of law breaks down. You don't go back into some sort of primordial stew where everyone's living in peace and harmony. No, no. What do you get? It's my tribe versus your tribe, and my tribe has to destroy your tribe. That is human nature. That is human history, whether you like it or not. There are cave paintings from 50,000 years ago that you can find and depicts exactly this. The tribe taking out someone or a group of people that they decide are the other. So this is what we've got. Tribe on tribe violence on the streets of Cincinnati. We'll be right back. Jack Krasovic.

A former Department of defense official, Dan Caldwell joins us. Dan, how are you?
Dan Caldwell
I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, of course. So had to get you on and right into the mix of it. President Trump made some comments earlier today. There in Scotland where he was meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding the situation in Russia. These peace talks which really do seem, I'm just going to say it, they seem like they've been stalled out. The battlefront is what it is in Eastern Ukraine, in those Russian speaking provinces. President Trump initially saying 50 day deadline, now saying 10 to 12 day deadline. We're not exactly sure what happens at the end of that. Seems like he's trying to get talks to restart. But I wanted to get your sense on what the situation really is on the ground in Ukraine and what cards the US if any, really has to play here.
Dan Caldwell
Well, thanks, Jack. And this is a very important question. Look, I understand why President Trump is frustrated is President Putin has not had a real incentive to move rapidly on peace talks. And that is because there is an unfortunate reality, and that is that Russia has a military, manpower and material advantage that the west, including all of NATO, can't really overcome. And so he doesn't really, he's not in a position right now where he feels like he really needs to stop the fighting because he feels like he can achieve more of his military objectives over the next few months. So what does that mean? So the reality is the Russians have a 3 to 1 manpower advantage over the Ukrainians. They just simply have more people than the Ukrainians. In addition, the Ukrainian military is having a lot of problems. The, the people in the west like to focus on how much aid that the United States or NATO is giving Ukraine. But they're really their biggest problem again comes down to manpower, is they just don't have enough people. They're having higher levels of desertions. I've read reports that there's been over 100,000 desertions already this year. Now, in fairness, some of those are guys actually deserting from one unit to another. They don't like the unit they're in, so they're going to go to a unit they think is better. But a lot of it too has to do with that. People just don't want to be thrown in a meat grinder. So I've even seen some very pro Ukraine voices in the last week or so acknowledge that the Ukrainian military is in really bad shape. There may be a breakdown in some of their lines and the Russians advances may accelerate. And so that is a really unfortunate reality. And here's the tougher pill to swallow, I think for a lot of people in the west is short of a direct intervention by NATO, which of course would be really dangerous and could lead to a nuclear war. There's really not a lot that we can do to fundamentally change the battlefield dynamics in Ukraine. So it's a very difficult situation. And again, I understand where President Trump's coming from. He doesn't like to see the killing, he doesn't like to see the destruction of these cities. But there's not a whole lot that we can do lest we, we, we risk nuclear war or we do things that can hurt us economically to really change the current balance of power on the battlefield.
Jack Posobiec
And not only that, but we also saw over the weekend two items and I kind of put them in contention because you've got the massive protests now we're seeing in Kiev and other places where they're calling out now, these are not anti war protests, want to be clear about that to everyone. But they are sort of anti Zelinsky in the that he has signed this new bill, effectively shutting down a lot of the anti corruption watchdog bureaus that were set up post 2014, post Maidan within Ukraine. So he signed a new law basically shutting them down again. This is a guy who's been in office without an election now for a very, very long time. He was elected in 2019, so he's now been office for six years. Martial law, of course, was imposed on the country due to the invasion, but he continues beyond his original term. And so that's sort of what you're starting to blow over into this deteriorating political condition, which lines up with everything you're talking about regarding the front lines between the movement of people and troops from unit to unit and as well as the lack of supplies. The EU just announced over the weekend, by the way, that they are going to be cutting their aid to Ukraine. I think almost $2 billion over these corruption concerns. This is certainly something that's very serious. And at the same time, on the battlefield, we were talking about this earlier in the spring, we said of July is when you would really see Russia attempt to make a breakout along some of these lines. That's when the fighting season really kicks off. And we've got this map up that I can show of PCross, which is right there now getting squeezed as the Russians really move to envelop this key city. And you know, people say, okay, what is this resumed in? If you look at all the green right there, that's exactly the spot where this late July offensive is that we predicted would come out. Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer was on here. That's now happening across a key intersection for logistics in terms of a hub between the highways for pretty much all the main cities on the eastern front. So if they take the logistics hub now, you've got a straight shot potentially all the way back down to the river from the Dnieper and which runs north, south, and of course is the same river on which Kyiv itself sits. So, Dan, when we're talking about this, those eastern cities, those really are the ones that have the most offensives. Those are the ones that really have the most built up armaments, the built up battlements. You know, the cities beyond these areas just don't really have the level of defenses that we saw in the east.
Dan Caldwell
That's correct. And they started building up those defenses all the way back in 2014 during the first phase of the Donbas War. And I think this has been a mistake of the Ukrainian military is that they have chosen to prioritize holding cities that really there's no strategic advantage to hold, like Bakmut in 2023, that incredibly bloody battle. Had they not sacrificed potentially tens of thousands of troops in that pointless battle, their counteroffensive likely would have been more effective. And continuing to double down on these cities that they know they're going to lose in the coming months, they would make the argument as, oh, we're bleeding the Russians, but again, the Russians have more men to sacrifice. And by prioritizing these types of operations, the operation in the Kursk, instead of moving back to more defensive positions, hardening up in certain areas, shortening their lines, they make these decisions that are more political in nature than based on sound military strategy. And that gets back to what you were talking about earlier about Zelensky and his political position. I think we have to be honest here is Zelensky and his right hand man, Yearmak, who I just have to say might as well be a Russian agent, because I think he's done more to harm Ukraine over the past couple years than just about anybody else. They really know that they're done as soon as the war is over or there's an election. So they have an incentive to keep this going and to keep these spectacular political operations that keep some of their supporters in the west happy. But again, they really have to make some hard decisions here, shorten their lines, move to more of an active defensive strategy, and that will allow them to hold on longer and get to a place where they are in better shape in negotiations. But again, that requires acknowledging some things that will cause them to take some political blows that Zelensky and Yermak just aren't willing to do.
Jack Posobiec
And of course, this is also why I think, you know, if you see from the Russian side, they're saying, if we're, we're enveloping these key cities, if we're at the point where they might even be looking at the potential for severing Ukrainian supply lines to the east, I think they're sitting there from the perspective of saying, why should we negotiate when we're winning?
Dan Caldwell
Absolutely, absolutely. And that's a key. That's a key thing, is they have a military advantage. And I want to get back to something I said earlier. There's just simply not a lot of things the west can do to change that. You know, there's been a lot of talk, for example, about giving Ukraine more Patriot missiles. And I think President Trump has found a way to do it effectively in the short term without undermining our own readiness. But it doesn't change the reality that the United States only produces around 600 Patriot missiles a year. The Russians produce 1200 Xkander ballistic missiles a year, and that doesn't include their Kinzhal missiles. It doesn't include their Geran drones, other things that at times we've used the Patriots to shoot down. That's a mathematical reality. That's not going to change over the next few months. So even if we were to start surging supplies to Ukraine, you'd only buy them another few months in their current position. And that would at the same time completely undermine our readiness in other key theaters, mainly the Pacific and the Middle east, where, God forbid, things kick off there, we may have to expend more munitions there. So there's some mathematical realities around manpower, around the west, ability to produce things that unfortunately we just can't change. So I would just say to President Trump, the administration, I understand where you're coming from. There's some short term things I understand you're trying to accomplish. But in the long term, this is, this is going to ultimately end with Ukraine making some tough concessions and Russia controlling more of Ukraine, likely what they do now.
Jack Posobiec
And, and this really is the threat. And by the way, it's the people of Ukraine who suffer the most here. And that needs to be said over and over and over. And I remember traveling there during the war to some of these areas that were, you know, not at the front, but pretty close. And these, these are good people. They don't deserve any of this. Right back. Jack Posobic, Human Events Daily Real America's voice.
Unknown Speaker
You talk about influencers. These are influencers and they're friends of mine. Jack, where's Jackie's got a great God.
Jack Posobiec
All right, Jack Pacific, we're back live here. Human Events Daily. We are talking about all things Ukraine. We're talking about all things that are going down on the battlefield. And we're speaking with Dan Caldwell, former Department of Defense official. Dan, one of the things that I've heard a lot of people say, politically speaking, is a potential, a potential political situation that the Trump administration could certainly find themselves in, you know, just scenario down the line that if Ukraine does, does, and as, as we're sort of talking about, this sounds like a, like a situation that runs the risk of a collapse. And if there's an Afghanistan style collapse going into midterms, politically, that's obviously going to be a huge price for the administration as it was for Biden. If, of course, that's, that's only really if this, this becomes Trump's war, even though I think it's still more seen as a Biden thing at this point. But, you know, those images that we saw of Afghanistan, certainly ones that no one's ever going to forget. And I think a lot of people would hate to see images like that coming out of Ukraine, coming out of Kiev especially. And then there's Zelensky himself. They're already protesting him. I mean, what happens if we're in a situation where Zelinsky is fleeing to London before Christmas?
Dan Caldwell
Well, I just would say that, you know, I think one solution here is just to give Zelinsky Stephen Colbert's spot on cbs, you know, give him something to do, get him out of Ukraine, go back to that part of the deal. I mean, that's, we were talking about it. That's, that's a, you know, Zelensky was the John Steward of Ukraine before all of this, you know, so that, that, that could maybe part, be part of the peace deal. But joking aside, you bring up a very, very important point and that President Trump doesn't want this to become his war. So I think going forward he needs to, to, to find ways to continue to, to get the Americans extricated out of a leading role in supporting Ukraine, make this more of a European problem. And at some point he has, you know, again, I, I think it would be good the United States helped drive a peace deal, but we need to be able to walk away at some point and say this is a European problem, this is a Eurasia problem. The United States has other more important things to deal with because again, there's a political ramification to it if, if, if this thing falls apart under President Trump's. Watch. And if we are ultimately more and more involved. And I would just go back to what I said earlier. It's just kind of like with Afghanistan. You know, the way the withdrawal happened, the way the collapse happened was disgraceful. But we have to admit is that there was no path to real victory in that war, just like there's no path to a total Ukraine victory in this war. And we need to acknowledge it's going to be somewhat of an ugly piece, but at least it preserves a future for Ukraine and its people going forward, as opposed to a total collapse or total Russian domination.
Jack Posobiec
Well, this is a European Christian nation, and certainly we hope the best way forward and fastest way forward for peace is something that can be achieved, especially while, again, this is on the European continent. We know President Trump is there right now working very hard to focus on this. And of course, what everyone's thinking about is the risk of a wider war escalation, something that would draw the United States in. And that, of course, leads to the question of our veterans and leads to the question of how we treated the veterans of the last war. And unfortunately, I saw a statistic that I'm trying to run this down, so I haven't really put it out too much, but it claimed that the number of suicides that are directly attributable or at least associated with the global war on terror is in the tens of thousands. And to me, that struck even more than this ubiquitous statistic. We always hear 22 a day, tens of thousands. I mean, you would really have to add that to the total casualty rate of the global war on terror itself. But we just don't do that because we don't count numbers that way. You've got a new piece out in the New York Times today on veterans and the treatment of veterans. Tell us about that.
Dan Caldwell
Yeah, so I would just say on that, that statistic, you know, I, I served in the Marine Corps. I served in Iraq. More Marines I served with have died by suicide than were killed or injured in Iraq or Afghanistan wars. And, and that's a very common experience. Jack, I know you serve. That's a very common experience across our peer group. So my op ed was focused on the. The problems within military housing and military health care. And I wrote it with a good friend of mine, Darren Selnick, who served at the DOD with me. And he was focused very much on personnel. And right now, in large part because of decisions made over the last 20 years, and particularly in the Biden administration, there's serious problems with the Military health care system and military housing is, you have tens of, literally tens of billions of dollars of maintenance backlogs and military housing and in the military health care system that are impeding their ability to care for our service members, their families and veterans. Because military health care system also takes care of military retirees. So the message of the op ed was, was this, this is a problem that President Trump inherited, just like with Ukraine. But they have resources as a result of the one big beautiful bill, they need to make sure those resources are being used to fix these problems and they're not being moved into some, you know, failing acquisition program that just feeds the military industrial complex or helps some pet for project in some congressional district. We need to fix these systems because when a military member has to focus on his housing or his health care and problems facing his family, that's less focus they have on their ability to do their actual jobs, which is fight and win wars. And unfortunately that often gets overlooked. So that was the key message here, is this is a problem that the President inherited. He has money to fix it and him and Department of Defense should really make sure these problems are fixed because they've also had a lot of success around recruiting. They want to keep those people. And if these problems aren't fixed, then people aren't going to have an incentive to reenlist or re up and spend 10, 20, 30 years in the military like we want them to.
Jack Posobiec
Oh, that's exactly right. No, I couldn't agree more. Please go check out this op ed. It's very important. By the way, I did run down that statistic and this is a report from Brown University, the cost of war project. And okay, so Brown University, that's, that's what's put this out. And a project from the Watson Institute for International and Public affairs. Their estimate is 30,000 suicides among post 911 veterans and active duty personnel. So 30,000 it's, which is just, just a number that needs to be said over and over.
Dan Caldwell
And it's, it's, you know, moral enginery, it's how we deployed these, these guys over and over again.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, you know, we're taking National Guards, putting them on 22 month deployments to the sandbox.
Dan Caldwell
Yeah, it just infuriates me and I mean that's a whole nother episode. But it's a shameful that the people responsible for that.
Jack Posobiec
Dan, will have you on again. Where, where can people go to follow you, man?
Dan Caldwell
Follow me on X at DAND Caldwell. That's the best place to find my Work right now.
Jack Posobiec
All right, Dan Caldwell, former DOD official. Be right back here, Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.
Unknown Speaker
Where's Jack? Where's Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you. Great job, Jack.
Dan Caldwell
Thank you.
Unknown Speaker
What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always talking about the fake news.
Jack Posobiec
And the bad, but we have guys.
Unknown Speaker
And these are the guys should be getting policies.
Jack Posobiec
All right, Jack, was obi. Here we are back live, Human Events Daily. So Jeffrey Epstein, Todd Blanche, the deputy Attorney general, going down and meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell for two sessions totaling up to about nine hours. Now, longtime viewers of Human Events Daily here on rel, America's Voice will remember this is something that I've been calling for since her very trial itself all the way back in 2021, saying, look, you know, I remember from my time at Gitmo when you've got someone behind bars, yes, it is punishment, but it is also a source of information and in fact, a source that is in a fixed position and cannot leave. So you think of that as a library. You think of that as an archive. And now finally, all the way up at the highest level, thanks to the pressure, by the way, of people like the Human Events audience, people like the posse and the patriots writ large, we're now finally starting to see the wheels turn on this at a very high level. You can't deny that it's a very, very high level when the deputy attorney general has gone down and top Blanche, a very serious guy, worked with the president on the impeachment. Very, very serious. So wanted to bring on Shane Cashman to, to get into this a little bit, chop it up. Shane, you know him, of course, from Tim Cast. He joins Human Events Daily once again. Shane, how are you?
Shane Cashman
Hey, Jack, it's good to be here. Thanks for having me.
Jack Posobiec
So what do you make of where the current status of all of this? You know, a lot of people said, oh, they're going to cover it up. It's never. And certainly there have been cover ups and a lot of people thought the government would never go back to it. President Trump has sent his deputy attorney general there to a prison cell or at least the attorney meeting room with Elaine Maxwell.
Shane Cashman
Well, I think it's great that we're talking to her finally. I want to hear everything she has to say. I think the American people deserve to hear everything. She is a great source of information, although I will be. I urge everyone to be skeptical of what she says just in terms of her past, you know, what she's in jail for is very serious. I, you know, very reluctant to want to say she deserves a pardon, but I want to hear everything she says just because what she's complicit in doing is some of the most evil stuff I can imagine happening on earth when it comes to children. And then, you know, my skepticism is also rooted in her familial ties. Her father being Robert Maxwell, you know, he was involved in some very serious, also high issue crimes with the Promise scandal in the early 90s. And he himself was a bit of a, like a media mogul, a bit of a Rupert Murdoch. I think there were even competition around that same time in terms of owning presses like Pergamon Press and even owning 51% of MTV. But that all said, you know, I think there has been a mismanagement of information coming from the administration, and I think a lot of the people around the President seem to be saying things, maybe multiple things, and I don't think he really knows how to handle it, honestly, in terms of how I hear the messaging, which has been tough for the people to hear, but this is a great step in getting, hopefully some more transparency. Hopefully we can trust it. I'm very interested to see what she has to say. Who are these 100 people she's talking about? I think we probably know quite a bit of those names already. And then my skepticism is also rooted in, you know, this, this case has gone on so long and people talk about the files, which is, you know, I think are important, but it's hard to trust those as well because they've been through so many different hands, through so many administrations and people that, you know, we don't know what's been done to them, who to trust and. But, you know, I'm very, very eager to hear what they've learned from Ghislaine this time around.
Jack Posobiec
Well, that's right. And I keep saying over and over, you know, people say, you know, how do you take the word of someone who's been associated with this? And I, and I point out that that's the same as any source, right? Any source on any story that you work with, whether you're an investigative journalist, whether you work in intelligence, whether investigator. Again, you always take it with a grain of salt. You always take it as skepticism. You're not doing your job as a reporter or an investigator. If you're not, what you have to do, then next is called corroboration. Okay, so does this match up with flight logs? Do we have another source? Maybe a Pilot or something like that, someone who worked there that can also corroborate what this person has said. Do we have other. And again, you know, when you're the deputy Attorney general, you have the full resources of the federal government at your fingertips. So you've got access to every file that was created for the, from the previous investigations, as well as the data for, in terms of cell phone records, all sorts of things that can be sought for. So it's really something where, you know, and I remember I used to get that question all the time when we would have congressional delegations or senators down at Guantanamo. How can you trust these guys? Well, we don't. Right. That's the, that's the obvious answer. We don't. I saw Speaker Johnson got asked the same question. I think he was on Face the Nation this weekend, and he got asked that question. He said, well, I hope she's truthful. Well, but it's not just that, speaker, it's that you don't trust you. You trust but verify. Trust but verify. That's the answer. That's what it comes down to. And, and really, look, you saw even President Trump, now even President Trump is talking about Harvard University and their connections to Epstein. And boy, we know Harvard University obviously is connected to so many CRT and all of these, you know, Occupy movements and all the rest of it. So the idea that a place like Harvard would be so tied to Epstein, Reid, Hoffman, people who are going down to the island. President Trump, of course, confirming that he did not go to the island using some select language.
Shane Cashman
And I thought Harvard really quick is, you know, that is extremely important because, you know, not only Larry Summers was the president of Harvard from 2001 to, I think, 2006, but then he, I, you know, as far as we know, asked for a donation for his wife's, like, poetry videos from Epstein. I believe that happened after the conviction. That's extremely suspicious. And Trump, I believe this morning the president mentioned Summers as well when he was talking about the island. So Harvard is very, very interesting to me in terms of Epstein. The other connection would be Eric Weinstein was a student there, and he's talked about Jeffrey Epstein's connections to the math department and how he was. Jeffrey Epstein was very interested in gravity technology. I don't know what that's all about. I would love to hear more about those connections. And when it comes to that investigation, the corroboration you're talking about, I hope to see a lot of that and how it affected Harvard because our universities have been Completely captured. And this is just going to be one example of how they're captured. You know, someone like Epstein is a gatekeeper, a blackmailer. And why he's so interested in these things is quite interesting, especially if I connect it to what I said previously about Robert Maxwell, who did Pergamon Press with a lot of science textbooks that were in a lot of colleges, you know, so these very strange, you know, coincidences, I'll put in quotes, that connect Epstein, Maxwell, Ghislaine to things like the science industry, sciences, industry in this country.
Jack Posobiec
And this is what it's all about. You know, these. These ideas of. He talked about genetic stuff. At one point, he had this ranch where he wanted to get into. You know, basically it was reproduction of himself, but on a mass scale. And he had these ideas of sort of like global depopulation. And it's sort of like, you know, a seed bank, but a genetic seed bank. And who knows, perhaps he's got some of squirreled away somewhere. But at the end of the day, you know, people are saying that we want to come at this from a political perspective. And yes, of course, it's very easy to make this into an R's versus D thing, but I think to your point, it goes way deeper than that.
Shane Cashman
I think this is part of the spiritual warfare that we are unfortunately trapped within. You know, we're in a revolving door of tragedy and trauma that's connected to, you know, in my opinion, satanic pedophiles that are, you know, unfortunately have ingratiated themselves into almost every institution, maybe every institution in the country. Education, arts. You know, it's not just Epstein. He's just one part of a much bigger thing. And so when I hear Trump campaigning on Agenda 47 and obliterating the deep State, something I care deeply about, this Epstein story is a part of that invisible network of, you know, evildoers that are running this country into the ground, that are turning it against us, that have weaponized the government against the American people. You know, that is, the Epstein case is so important not just because of the children, which we want to protect and keep protecting. And, you know, they're harming the innocent. And on top of that, it's also, what are they gatekeeping? What are they doing to politicians to make them vote a certain way with our tax dollars? So this is like a really important situation. It's really important for people to not talk about, you know, they say don't talk about it, move on. You know, I think a lot of people are underestimating how important this story is to even people who don't live online as much as you and I might. I spent the weekend talking to a ton of people just in the real world. Family members, friends and strangers. Just. How about Epstein? And they're like, yeah, that's an insane story. And I'm like, are you on Twitter? And they're not on Twitter as much as I am. I'm addicted, you know, and people do care because they. They see it as this destruction of innocence and the attack on children. And also, why is it so closely related to our government and also governments around the world? It's not just ours. So I think this is incredibly important and, you know, I'm very anxious to see what we get out of this.
Jack Posobiec
Ghislaine Maxwell, QUESTIONING well, and it's simple as that. And when it comes to the nature of these crimes, when it comes to the nature of the crime, by the way, just the crimes that we know about, just the crimes that are public, the crimes that are actually out there in the public domain that you could see there that she was convicted for, that she's currently serving trial for, or, excuse me, serving sentence for right now. That all came out at her trial beyond anything else that could be involved, even though we're told 100 names came up during the course of this nine hours of questioning, which is really just an opening night, by the way, in at get mode. 9 hours is nothing. That is just. That's like. That's like day. Day one, day two, right? That is not so.
Shane Cashman
People remember, like, this is also about the justice system. We know, we all know how it's been mutilated over the decades and turned against the people and how other people are allowed to somehow walk. And we can't forget that when Epstein went to jail and flew Florida, when he was put away for. It was supposed to be two years, he only did 13 months. That was a pretty sweet little deal he had.
Jack Posobiec
He was able to stay there overnight. We'll be right back. Shane Cashman, Jack Masova, Human Events Daily. Jack is a great guy. He's written a fantastic book.
Unknown Speaker
Everybody's talking about it. Go get it. And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
Dan Caldwell
And we're going to turn it around.
Jack Posobiec
Amen. All right, Jack Silvic back live here, Human Events Daily. Now, this is a story that Shane Cashman over at Tim Cast has been working on, and he wanted to share it with us because it's. It's very interesting and perhaps goes deeper Than, than we originally thought. And it's called. I'm just gonna ask Shane. I'm just gonna ask Shane. Shane, what is the Gothic fire at Area 51?
Shane Cashman
So the official story is that lightning struck in the area around Area 51 on July 4th and started what became 40, 000 acres on fire surrounding Area 51. It's been, I think, contained. I, last I checked, it was down to half that. But, you know, it's been worse than the people. You know, there's all different theories about it. You know, oh, my goodness. They're trying to get rid of evidence. They're, you know, trying to get rid of technology that they don't want to be found. Or it's just, you know, a natural disaster and a fire happening near a super top secret area. But the thing that's interesting to me is that fires and Area 51 have a long history of infecting people, making people sick who work there. You can go back to the early 2000s and find articles in SF Gate where former staffers at Area 51 say they were in charge of burn pits that gave them cancer and they were burning chemicals. You know, this is Area 51, for those that don't know, is where like Skunk Works does a lot of building of high technology, like, you know, the stealth bombers, which I'll get into in a second. And they were.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah. And just, and just wait, Sorry, let me, let me zoom out for a second. So, guys, anyone doesn't know this by now, Eric? 51 is 100% real. It's an actual place. It is part of the Nevada Test and Training Range in southern Nevada. It's right next to Groom Lake. So it has been a place where the Air Force has used for many, many years for these test and experimental aircraft, as well as perhaps other things.
Shane Cashman
Yeah, you know, there's a ton of theories out there. People believe there's extraterrestrial life there. People tried invading Area 51 a few years ago. But there's definitely Lockheed Martin and others out there working on future technology that we can't even imagine yet. So, like I said in SFGate in early 2000s, there's articles from staffers at Air51 saying they were sickened by these burn pits, probably from chemicals used maybe from paints or who knows what from things they were building. But the reason this is so interesting now at the Gothic fires in the news, is that at the same time, there's a new group of Air Force vets who are also staffers, handpicked staffers at Area 51 working on multiple top secret projects, one of which they're allowed to tell us, was working on the stealth bomber. And they had a barbecue a few years ago. This guy, David Crete, had this barbecue together. And this was first reported in Newsmax. I want to shout out them for just breaking this crazy story. They all realized at this barbecue they had all been suffering from terrible cancers. And not just like your normal cancer. It's like they all had grapefruit sized tumors. They all had multiple cancers. David Crete believes, and this is according to his doctors, that this, this, they call it the invisible enemy from these chemicals in Area 51 actually altered his DNA. So much so that it gave his son a brain tumor when he was born. So these guys started talking and being like, wow, there's a ton of us that actually 491 people have died as a part of this program over the years. You know, they were out of touch for a while. They, they got back together for this barbecue and realized, oh my goodness, that's a lot of people from one, you know, department out there. 491. There's actually a wreath now in D.C. for these 491 who are dead. And they're trying to pass some legislation to get help because on top of all these issues that, you know, they can't talk about and their, their illnesses, all of their information is data masked because it was all classified information. So the VA can't help them because they have no way to prove they were around anything dangerous while they're out there working. So now there's this big push and I hope it happens for them to get help to get these things unmasked so these guys can find. I mean, some of these guys have just lost their tongues. They can't walk. Like I said, the altered DNA, it's affecting children and that.
Dan Caldwell
Right.
Shane Cashman
That might remind some people who are listening of things such as Agent Orange made by Monsanto during the Vietnam War. They said, we're going to spray our enemies with Agent Orange. Not really thinking maybe they did. You know, who knows how it affect our soldiers and it affected our soldiers in horrible ways. I have people calling into my show who are family members of people who had died from Agent Orange. And it's tragic. And you know, that also affected their, their children. So this is another one of those stories that I just, I find egregious.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, growing up, I had a, I had a buddy whose dad was a Marine in Vietnam that he ended up being part of it, getting some of the settlement I remember the whole thing from, from a young age when that happened. And I would also add that this, something else this reminds me of is, you know, take the military potentially aspect out of it. East Palestine. So East Palestine, I know you've done a ton of reporting there. Our network, of course, Real America's Voice and the great Ben Berquam was one of the first on the scene, has gone back multiple times. And again, what we're all getting around. And by the way, I know veterans who've had all sorts of horrible experiences with burn pits, people whose toenails and fingernails are falling off, all sorts of things. So these, these are all chemical symptoms. What we're all talking about and talking around are clearly related to chemicals. The specifics of which to your point, are very hard to pin down sometime. But the symptoms don't lie, do they?
Shane Cashman
No. And you know, East Palestine is a huge disaster. You know, our government was semi involved with the quote unquote cleanup. And I just got to shout out Ben for being there. He was there, I was there, Ben was there and Steve Bannon were there in those weeks afterwards when those people were completely abandoned, you know, Buttigieg showed up as like a PR stunt. Totally ridiculous. And these people, for those who forget, they, Norfolk Southern had the train wreck. They decided to blow up the car that had this crazy spacing on the chemical. They had vinyl chloride and they literally, what they call it is they inverted the atmosphere above East Palestine, trapping everything. All the chemicals, major die offs. People, apiaries lost all their bees. They were told they can't use their cattle anymore, their agriculture just was done. They couldn't use their water. And that was horrible. And they got like, I think 200 bucks from Norfolk Southern later come to find out they didn't have to blow anything up. But this is a problem that affects so many places across the country. You know, talk about stuff like dioxin or dioxide in Times Beach, Missouri, they just have to close down the entire city and the government took it. It's a brown site with eminent domain because you couldn't live there anymore. It's completely, it would just, it was, it would make you sick, it would give you cancer. So, you know, East Palestine is still suffering. And I, I think about those people all the time because they just decimated that entire town.
Jack Posobiec
So yeah, I mean, one gotta add, by the way, two, two other people who were there, by the way, of course, then Senator J.D. vance and as he was running for president, Donald J. Trump, they went at a time when to your point nobody is. I've always, by the way, referred to East Palestine as a real turning point for that was the turning point in the story of Trump after the, after Jan.6 in a way that even the Mar A Lago raid wasn't necessarily a turning point. I really think East Palestine gets overlooked as just how important it was.
Shane Cashman
And I think it was a political thing in terms of, I mean, I don't think it was political that they blew it up, but it was political that they were forgotten and abandoned by the Biden administration. Because I go there, it's Trump, it's Trump territory.
Jack Posobiec
These are little towns of America that.
Shane Cashman
So, you know, that Hollywood doesn't care.
Jack Posobiec
About, nobody cares about.
Shane Cashman
Trump clearly cared and it was great to see. But you know, those people are still out there suffering. They had, and they had illnesses like that, little kids with rashes that week. So, and I just hope that they're getting the help that, that they're, that they need. But you know, those people will tell you they grew up, you know, say an hour or two north in Ohio and there's a lake that just sometimes lights on fire because of chemicals that are in it. So, you know, these things are unfortunately everywhere.
Jack Posobiec
Right. And I, I'll never forget, you know, the EPA administrator going down and people walking up, would you want some of the water? Drink some of the water. Go ahead. It's, oh, it's all safe. Here you go, here's a cup. Go for it. Will you drink some? Look, at the end of the day, people are tired of the lies, whether it be East Palestine, Area 51. Jeffrey Epstein, we're going to be doing a whole piece on Oklahoma City next week. People just want the truth. And by the way, they want the truth and let the chips fall where they may. Let the chips fall where they may. Give us the truth. We can handle it. Shane Cashman, where can people go to follow you and get your show, man?
