1. Tyler Robinson Trial & the Fight for Transparency (05:00 – 12:45, 30:12 – 31:34)

  • Quote: “Charlie’s murder was public. His execution was on livestream. The murderer made that decision, not Charlie… so too should be the trial. Full public, full livestream for the entire world to see.” — Jack Posobiec (06:47)
• Robinson’s lawyers have attacked Human Events in court for their advocacy, which Posobiec frames as an attempt at intimidation and misrepresentation.
  • Quote: “We won’t allow it. If they so choose, I am personally willing to go to court... and argue for this right.” — Jack Posobiec (07:09)
• Libby Emmons comments on why Robinson's legal team targets Human Events, asserting their interest in limiting courtroom transparency to protect their client and shape public perception.
  • Quote: “Because they don’t want cameras in the courtroom. And they know that we made really good arguments... They have been obsessed with preventing press from having any information about the trial.” — Libby Emmons (30:54)

2. Iran Conflict & the U.S. Response (03:00 – 04:00, 31:34 – 38:00)

• Escalating conflict: The U.S. has struck key Iranian oil export sites and is moving military assets, including Marine units, to the region. Posobiec provides context, emphasizing the international ramifications and U.S.-Israel position.

• Discussion of military tactics regarding Kharg Island, a key node for Iranian oil, arguing there are strategic options short of a ground invasion—such as airstrikes or cyber attacks.
  • Quote: “You don’t need boots on the ground to take Kharg Island... you can take out the pier, neutralize it from the air, or use cyber operations.” — Jack Posobiec (38:00)
• Panel on Gen Z's attitude toward the war: Paula Scanlon explains that younger people’s opposition is common, as they’re more likely to be drafted and less trusting of government decisions. Libby Emmons, relating to her own anti-war activism, notes widespread reluctance for a prolonged Middle East engagement.

3. Election Integrity & the SAVE America Act (12:45 – 26:30)

• The SAVE Act's importance: Guests Harmeet Dhillon (Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights) and Paula Scanlon highlight concerns about voter rolls and election integrity. Dhillon outlines DOJ efforts under the 1960 Civil Rights Act to review and help states clean up their voter lists, often facing resistance.
  • Quote: “We’re helping clean up the voter rolls, comparing them with federal databases… some states are doing that voluntarily, some resisting... In the past, if [states] tried to take people off the rolls... they got punished by the DOJ.” — Harmeet Dhillon (15:24)
• Concerns over voter ID and partisanship: Paula Scanlon criticizes Democrat and sometimes Republican resistance to common-sense voter protections.
  • Quote: “Voting should absolutely [require ID]… For whatever reason, if you can’t find the paperwork, maybe it’s deserved you can’t vote… They want to cheat.” — Paula Scanlon (22:16)

4. Oscars and Culture Wars: Conservative Events Outshine Hollywood (34:40 – 37:01)

• Panel responds to Conan O’Brien’s Oscars jab at Turning Point USA (TPUSA)’s halftime show, with Libby Emmons spinning it as a victory for conservatives due to high engagement compared to declining Oscar viewership.
  • Quote: “If there was a Kid Rock–hosted Dave & Buster’s awards ceremony, I’d totally go... It wasn’t really at [Turning Point’s] expense because they did such a kick ass job.” — Libby Emmons (35:23)

War in Iran, now entering its third week. Both sides digging in to Tehran, is now threatening retaliation after the US attacked a critical oil hub. The US striking 90 targets on an island which serves as Iran's main oil export terminal. Israel congratulating the US on the strikes. The US Embassy in Baghdad once again coming under fire as a missile struck a helipad. President Trump saying that Iran is totally defeated and wants a deal, but not one that he would accept. We never asked for a ceasefire, and we have never asked even for negotiation. We are ready to defend ourselves as long as it takes, and this is what we have done so far, and we continue to do that.

A letter brief that is online, dated October 28, 2025, from a group called Human Events and its address to your Honor. And it's in the nature of a

[Jack Posobiec]

brief on the closure issues we've been discussing today. Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We're here Live Real America's voice. Today is March 16, 2026, Anno Domini. And folks, I gotta tell you, you know a lot, a lot of auspicious anniversaries today. Today is, of course, stone cold Steve Austin Day. So happy 316 to everyone who celebrates. But also, today is 42 years since Gary Plowshay. Yes, Gary Plowshay became the greatest father of in the past century. God bless you, Gary Plaushet, and God bless you for what you did as a role model to fathers everywhere 42 years ago today. And in fact, his son Jody is a Human Events follower. And of course, we stand with you. And I would say go and follow Jody and go and check out his book. Why, Gary? Why? Now, speaking of other criminal cases, Tyler Robinson had his day in court, or one of his days in court on Friday. And we here at Human Events found ourselves being the ones who were targeted by Tyler Robinson's lawyers. And by the way, I found this photo of Robinson. This is not from Friday. This is actually from the February hearing. But I want to show you guys this photo because I've never seen it before, and I sent it around last night. This is a photo of Tyler Robinson sitting in court while he's looking at a picture of Charlie. And this is a picture of Charlie from, obviously from a high angle, looking down moments before Charlie was shot and killed. And that's Tyler Robinson looking at that picture in the courtroom. So you're seeing the photo from behind Tyler's over the shoulder, you know, behind his back, and then looking down to see what's on his computer screen. The reason that, you know, this one isn't from Friday is because Tyler Robinson was not even put on camera on Friday. And so we were not. If you were not in the courtroom, you couldn't see him at all. And this has become a huge issue. And it's become such an issue that his own lawyers, Tyler Robinson's lawyers, are attacking Human Events for putting an open letter into the court saying that we demand full public access under the First Amendment to these hearings, and we continue to do so. The courtroom must have live video throughout the course of the trial. The right of the public to have access to this case, the murder of Charlie Kirk. The trial of Tyler Robinson is paramount. It must continue, and it must be allowed. There are already too many questions out there. There are too many people who have concerns about what is going on. We absolutely need this. And so we responded. We say we stand by our call for transparency in this case and we condemn the misrepresentation of it in court to try to undermine us, to try to intimidate us. We won't allow it. And if they so choose, we are more than willing, I am personally willing to go to court and argue before the judge with Tyler Robinson sitting right there if he wants to. He can look whatever picture he'd like while he's in court. And we will argue for this. Right, and we will argue that these proceedings need to be public. Charlie's murder was public. His execution was on live stream. The murderer made that decision, not Charlie. Charlie didn't have a say in his murder. But the. But the murderer did. And as such, since it was public, so too should be the trial. Full public, full livestream for the entire world to see. So let's go. And if you have a problem with that, I'm more than happy to take you to court. Be right back. Jack Posovic Human Events Daily continues foreign.

Our golden age has just begun.

[Paula Scanlon]

This is Human Events with Jack Posobic.

[Jack Posobiec]

Now it's time for everyone to understand what America first truly means. Welcome to the second American Revolution. All right, folks, Jack back live. Human Events Daily. By the way, this shot of the White House, I want to draw your attention to those clouds. Guys, you throw the shot up again real quick because I want to draw your attention to the clouds you see there, right above the White House. Apparently, there is a tornado warning in effect for Washington, D.C. today, something that is going to be hitting potentially within the next couple of hours. So it's something certainly that we're looking at. I know the President's looking at Congress. And so, you know, a lot of plane cancellations, a lot of things, you know, being, you know, being canceled, schedules coming out. So we'll see. We'll see whether or not something as such materializes. But as they say, the storm is brewing, folks. Every major company that you know is using AI right now. Your TurboTax, your Google, your Amazon, your Meta, Microsoft, Apple, the banks, the insurance companies, hospitals, credit bureaus, retailers, data firms. They say it's all about innovation, but the truth is it's about actually turning your personal information into their profit. Big corporations are serving you up on a silver platter to cybercriminals. AI runs on data about real people. Your name, your home address, your phone number, your job, your family. That information comes from data brokers and people search sites that build detailed profiles on you without permission. During tax season, that exposure becomes even more dangerous because those same profiles don't just feed corporate AI systems. They're Used by scammers. Criminals look people up before they attack. They know who you are, where you live, and how to approach you. And this is the time of the year they strike the hardest. Filing fake tax returns, impersonating the IRS and stealing refunds using social stolen identities. AI is making these scams faster and easier to execute and harder to spot. When your information is public, you're exposed. So ask yourself, what defenses do you actually have against this? The human events and audience knows exactly what that is. That defense is Patriot Protect. Patriot Protect is the only anti AI tool that actually removes you from this system. Patriot Protect deletes your personal information from Google and removes IT from over 240 data broker and people search sites. The exact places that AI systems and scammers pull from. Once removed, their search and destroy protocol keeps monitoring and wiping new exposures automatically. So don't just sit there and let scammers use AI to exploit and steal from you and your family. Use pager protect and take your data back. Take control of your personal information and reduce your exposure. Use promo code POSO for 15% off. All Patriot Protect plans go to patriot-protect.com poso and use promo code POSO for 15% OFF. You know, we're talking about these legal issues and of course we know that in order to go through those and work on those, you got to go to the experts. And that's why of course, we needed to get the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights from the Department of Justice here once again on the program. Harmeet. Dylan. Harmeet, how are you. Guys? I am not hearing Harm meet. Can we work on that something? Think a little, little might be. Might be off on there, but. Oh, there it is. There she is. Sorry about that. Ask you again. How are you? I guys, I'm not sure what's. Can we. Let's. Let's get Harmy Harmeet's audio fixed up there, guys, because I heard her for a. Then it went away, then we got her back. I want to make sure this interview comes in because she's an incredible guest and we love the fact that she gives us the opportunities that we have with her. And there's so much that's going on from the Department of Justice level and I wanted to get in. One of the things that we need to talk about, of course, is the SAVE act. The Save America act, because we have to focus on the problem with America's voter rolls. And we know this is coming up and we know that as we go into a midterm election, this is huge. This is so absolutely important because it's a real simple question. Are legal aliens voting in our elections? Have they been voting in our elections? And what's interesting is that when Chuck Schumer came up last week and he said, well, if we pass the SAVE act, then tens of millions of people will be kicked off the voter rolls. And I said, wait a minute. I thought you said that there ain't no illegals on the voter rolls. So if they're not on the voter rolls, who's getting kicked off? It's really as simple as that. Are we. Are we. Are we good with harmony? Guys? We have the audio up. Harmony, let's try this again.

[Harmeet Dhillon]

Okay. Can you hear me now, Jack?

[Jack Posobiec]

Yeah. There it is. Perfect.

[Harmeet Dhillon]

All right.

[Jack Posobiec]

We love when the. We love when the technology is fun. You know, there's this storm that's hitting D.C. it's actually funny enough, it's been. A bunch of people have been saying they're getting technical difficulties with all sorts of systems today. So I don't. And yet we are. Camera is getting. You can start to see it now. It's overcast, the water's coming down. So I appreciate you being on. I know there's some issues with. With weather in D.C. today.

[Harmeet Dhillon]

Yeah. Actually, our building is shut down now. So this is my last thing before I head home for safety. And this is very important. So happy to discuss it with your audience.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, I appreciate that so much. And I was wondering, though, if I could, if you would indulge me, just given your legal background as well, this question that, you know, we find ourselves in this fight for. For transparency in the Tyler Robinson criminal case, this issue over cameras in the courtroom. And now this is a state level case, not a federal case. But I was. I was wondering if you could sort of put into perspective this, you know, this issue because we're here at human events standing for full transparency. Yes, obviously, we have a direct tie to the case as well, but I certainly didn't think that this would be anything that would be brought up by his lawyers, but they decided to name us in court on Friday.

[Harmeet Dhillon]

Well, look, I mean, I wasn't really prepared to discuss this particular issue. And the doj, I don't know, has a particular position on it or not,

[Jack Posobiec]

but not from an official standpoint, of course, just at a high level.

[Harmeet Dhillon]

I think there are arguments on both sides. One of the arguments for is, of course, I've represented numerous media organizations, and certainly I think the media should have the right to comment on things, whether that includes up to the extent of cameras in the courtroom, I think is a separate issue. But definitely I've gone to court to fight for the right of the media to be able to report on cases. And, you know, I followed amicus briefs and even gone and represented journalists in that regard. On the flip side, there's a concern that when you have cameras in the courtroom, it distorts how the judge rules on things and it distorts how the lawyers play to the cameras as opposed to the jury. And frankly, it intimidates some jurors. And so I would say the main purpose of the criminal justice system is to obtain justice, and it then relies on both legislators as well as in some cases on a case by case basis, judges to determine whether the prejudicial factor of a blow by blow of media reporting, a media circus, if you will, on a high profile case may be inimical to that goal of justice. And then you look at the O.J. case and you look at some other cases where there have been cameras in the courtroom, and I think it is a bit of a mixed bag. So I'll just leave it at that.

[Jack Posobiec]

No, I certainly get what you're saying from that perspective. I think, I think in terms of this case, it's, it's, there's, there's. I'm not sure if there's any way to get it out from being so high profile. It just, it already is as it comes down. I did want to ask you, though, about the. Because we were talking here about the Save America Act. We've been talking about it here on the show for months. It feels like now you're focused as well on the voter rolls. And ultimately, yes, I know there's other provisions of it. This is all about trying to get bite on this, bite on the same apple. Would the Save America act empower you at the Department of Justice to focus on these voter rolls? And can you tell us what are some of the issues that we are looking at in terms of the voter rolls?

[Harmeet Dhillon]

Well, Jack, as you know, for many years before I joined the Department, I've been focused on cleaning up our elections and increasing voter confidence, as well as doing that from a partisan perspective. And of course, now that I'm at the doj, we aren't partisan and I don't even particularly take a position on pending legislation. That said, we already have tools on the books that we are using here at the doj, some for the first time regarding our Attorney General's right under the 1960 Civil Rights act to access and Review these voter rolls and then help states comply with their Help America Vote act federal law requirements. We're doing that in multiple ways. We're helping clean up the voter rolls, comparing them with some federal databases, returning returns back to the states to help them do their jobs. Some of the states are doing that voluntarily, some of them are resisting doing their jobs. And they're, you know, I think obvious reasons for why they're resisting. But there's other aspects of the Health America Vote act where we're reminding states preemptively that if they don't do certain things they could be in violation. Some states have some funky record keeping loopholes if you will, like Minnesota's vouching standard that allows one voter to vouch for up to state eight other voters regarding their address, which is delulu and inconsistent with the, with, with federal law. And so, you know, we're, we're in pre litigation discussions with them to try to get them to drop that. Some other states have been back and forth with us, including North Carolina, which has a consent decree, and Arizona, who we're talking to, regarding some irregularities in their voter registration procedures that have led to people being put on the voter rolls without any form of verification or that they're citizens. And that's a violation of federal law for federal elections. And so it's just a lot of record keeping and admin type work that simply prior administrations haven't wanted to do. To the contrary, prior administrations, particularly Democrat administrations, have actually sued states that have tried to clean up their voter rolls voluntarily. I mean, Georgia had a, I think shambolic election in 2020 and as a result of that they passed some legislation to clean up their act. And then of course, what did the Merrick Garland do? He went and sued them over that to punish them for cleaning it up. And so states get it on both sides. And I get why some of them feel whiplash, because in the past if they tried to take people off the voter rolls because they were dead or hadn't voted for a number of years or maybe had moved, they got punished by the doj. And now the DOJ is simply trying to follow the letter of the law and help states do that and make sure that particularly in this age of ballots being sent en masse through the mails in many jurisdictions, some states vote entirely by mail today, which, you know, maybe they're rural or what have you. I think that's problematic and it's especially problematic when you don't have perfect or near perfect voter rolls. And so every citizen is entitled to know that the vote they cast is going to count only with other American citizens and only once and only in that one state. Yet that is not the standard that we've been applying in this country. And so I'm really proud to be the leader of this effort here at the DOJ and have the attorney general and the White House is backing on it.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, there's no question. And you've absolutely been a leader on it. Thank you much. So, so much, Harmet, and we'll have you right back over the break here. Human Events Daily continues.

Very excited to have the external director of Early Vote Action as well as the senior fellow for ap, Paula Scanlon joins us here. Human Events Daily. Paula, how are you?

[Paula Scanlon]

I'm good. It's good to be back with you, Jack.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, it's great to have you on. By the way, I've got to commend the fact, you know, you guys over at Early Vote Action with Scott Pressler, you're working so hard and have had so much success on the SAVE Act. I'm sure you're Working hard behind the scenes. Do you have any information for us? Update wise on the stave on the, on the SAVE act as it stands right now. I know Scott's been putting a lot out.

[Paula Scanlon]

I don't have any updates. But all I will say is it's something that needs to be passed. And so I urge the Senate to get that done. I really don't understand what the delay is. I think it's disappointing for us as American citizens that have voted for things like this, but I guess we'll see if it passes. But it's needed and it's necessary. And I urge again, all of the people in the Senate to get this done.

[Jack Posobiec]

It's 100% correct. And I love what Scott had put out before, saying that it's possible that there's a consortium of House members that are joining together saying that they're not. I saw Congressman Brandon Gill tweeting about this and I quoted him and spoke with him a little bit over the weekend saying that he's not going to vote for any legislation that comes from the Senate that doesn't include the Save America Act. And we just had harmony. Dylan on she was talking about how, how bad our voter rolls are in this country. And the fact that you guys have looked at this, we know Scott has looked at it. It's something where it's really simple, do we want secure elections or not? We're going into midterms. We've got a lot coming up in the midterms, a lot riding on this. We need to be in a situation where only American voters are voting. It's really simple. You would think.

[Paula Scanlon]

Yeah, exactly that. I mean, this is something that I don't understand why people are against it. Of course, the Democrats, every time there's an issue that I'm looking at something think it's bipartisan, whether it' went through with women's sports or call it anything else, I'm looking at it saying this is a common sense thing. Of course only Americans should have vote in American elections. It's the case in pretty much every other Democratic country in the entire world. Yet Democrats are suggesting that it's misogynistic somehow to say that we need voter ID to be able to vote in elections. There's so many things you need an ID to do in this country. Voting should absolutely be one of them. And for whatever reason, if you can't figure it out and can't find the paperwork, I don't know, maybe it's deserved that you can't vote. It's really not that difficult. Everyone's able to have one. It's not racist. It's not misogynistic. Yet here we are, having no idea why the Democrats keep pushing it. It's because they want to cheat.

[Jack Posobiec]

It's exactly because they want to cheat. There's no, there's no question about that. And the fact that the Senate Republicans. Look, I get that the Democrats are going to do that, but what's the deal with the Senate Republicans, though, Paula? Why won't the Senate Republicans give this the. The interest, give this the level that it's due? And it's taking so many people to have to push and put pressure on the Senate Republicans and not all of them. To be fair, there's some great senators, like Senator Mike Lee and others that have been fighting tooth and nail for this, but we shouldn't have to go to that level to get something that's so common sense.

[Paula Scanlon]

Is this past, you know, exactly that. I mean, as a voter that voted for and helped campaign for a lot of these people, unfortunately, in my home state, there's no Republican senators, so I can't say that it was my state that did this. But it's really upset to see what's going on here. And I think a lot of voters are very upset with this. They're feeling like what they voted for to elect these officials is not getting done. And so the only thing I can say is I just urge them to listen to the American people and to do their job. I mean, they are there to represent the people that voted them in. And the lack of effort on this really makes us feel like that's not the case.

[Jack Posobiec]

No. And this movement, whether you want to call it the MAGA movement, the America first movement, whatever, if it's going to mean anything, just conservatism in general, it's got to mean that American elections are secured by having only American people voting in them. And you got Chuck Schumer up there saying, well, he says that tens of millions of people are going to lose access to voting if we pass the Save America Act. But, but, Chuck, I thought you told me that there were no illegals voting. So which is it exactly?

[Libby Emmons]

That.

[Paula Scanlon]

I mean, the story keeps changing. I really don't understand, again, what the drawbacks are here for them. But I think it just shows really how corrupt the voting is. I mean, when I voted in Pennsylvania when I was in college, I saw firsthand what was going on here. I saw people able to mail in a ballot and vote in person. I mean, voter fraud is happening across this country during the election. I Remember back in 2024, we were sitting there all on standby hearing stories of suppression, voter suppression and voter fraud in this country. And it's, it's something that's really upsetting that we have to look at. And if we can't trust the outcomes of these votes, how can we trust anything that's going on here? So I think it's so important we clean this up. Everyone should want this, this should be bipartisan. But yet here we are listening to Democrats calling it names, saying it somehow again, racist and misogynist is all I keep hearing about this. I do not understand how that is their answer to everything. Let's just have secure elections and figure the rest out afterwards. I don't understand why they're holding back here. But again they black common sense. And I think that we've seen that over the years and I can't say that I'm surprised.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, look, this is the time for all the people who are in the grassroots, whether you are someone who is a full on Trump supporter, whether you're an independent, even if you're a Democrat, doesn't matter. We will accept you. This is something that's about being an American and you've seen the polls on this thing. It is an 8515 issue, it's a 9010 issue. This is something that polls unbelievably. It's across every demographic. People want the Save America Act. And Paula, even you look at yourself, even as a woman, you have found a way to be able to register to vote.

[Harmeet Dhillon]

I have.

[Paula Scanlon]

I know it's shocking and surprising and also as a so called minority, I've also found a way to vote and I've registered in multiple states because I moved to a different state and was able to re register and vote.

[Jack Posobiec]

Wow, you're able to move and vote again. Paula Scanlan, hold on a second. I want to hold you over for where we'll have Libby Edmonds joining us here in the next segment. Human Events continues. Somehow these women just keep registering to vote. I don't know how it is. And wow, look at that shot from the White House. You can see the storm is rolling in. Wow, this is getting serious.

[Audience Member]

Jack, where's Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you. Great job, Jack.

[Harmeet Dhillon]

Thank you.

[Audience Member]

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 who've been getting policies.

[Jack Posobiec]

All right. Jack Posobic, we're back. Human Events Daily. You see there the live shot of the White House, this storm rolling in. You can see the, the droplets there on, on our live screen, the tornado watch in effect for the nation's capital. President Trump still at work. You also, I just noticed something. I can't believe I didn't see this before. The flags are down. So you see the, the large flags, wow, look at that. The large flags that President Trump added to the, the north and south lawns of the White House have been taken down because they're, they're predicting 60 to 70 mile an hour winds. Those would destroy those flags. And so you're getting, you're seeing those flags are down right now. And we're going to keep, keep an eye on this. You know, people are looking for potential tornadoes and certainly high winds. And that's something that absolutely do a lot of damage to flags. I remember being a Navy and it was the same exact protocol. If you're going to have weather like that, you've got to take the flags down. Folks, let me tell you something straight up. I'm a picky man. I'm extremely picky about what I put in my body and what companies I support. And one of those is blackout coffee. Blackout coffee, they check every single box.

All right, really excited now. We're going to do a little bit of a panel here. Human Events 3up panel. We've got Paula Scanlan that we held over. And we're now bringing in Libby Emmons from the Post Millennial and Human Events. Libby, how are you?

[Libby Emmons]

I'm good, Jack, thanks.

[Jack Posobiec]

So, Libby, actually, let me, let me ask you this. Kind of a non sequitur from what we had planned, but the fact that, and I'd have to get your take on this. The fact that Tyler Robinson and his lawyers were openly attacking the letter that you and I wrote to the court, which set off in motion this entire chain of events about having cameras in the courtroom. Erica came out and in an interview and said that she wants cameras in the courtroom. You then saw multiple media organizations filing motions regarding this. Why is Tyler Robinson's legal team going after Human Events by name over this issue?

[Libby Emmons]

Because they don't want cameras in the courtroom. And they know that we made really good arguments and they don't want anyone to hear those arguments. And that's why they are really interested in obfuscating this trial as much as possible, in making sure that the American people do not see what goes on in the courtroom. They have been obsessed with preventing press from having any information about the trial. They really don't like how it's been portrayed on social media and they don't like how it's been portrayed in the press. And those are things that they can't control. They can't control the press. First Amendment rights. And so they're trying to control what goes on in the courtroom and making sure they can't see it. That's right.

[Jack Posobiec]

I think that's right. And, and, and again, we saw that picture of him smirking in the courtroom, and they can't control their client. And that's why they want to ban him and block him from the cameras. This, this smirk that he has on his face, they, they can't control it. It's as simple as that so we'll do a little bit of around Robin Paula Scanlon, I want to ask you now one of the headlines that we keep getting in over and over, Gen Z and the war, Gen Z and the war, the reaction of Gen Z to the Iran strikes, to the situation in Iran, everything that's going on over there. Wanted to kind of get your take on that. You run in these circles yourself. What are you hearing?

[Paula Scanlon]

You know, yeah, there's a lot of people who are very against it and I understand that. I think in general, right, when we look at wars, young people are generally less likely to be pro war because first, if there's some type of draft, right, those would be the people going in. They're more concerned about things going on at home because they're young in their careers or they can't afford homes. And it makes sense why young people, generally speaking are against wars. But I will say on this particular issue is I as a 26 year old will never once imagine to know the level of intel and information that President Trump has as his administration.

[News Reporter]

Okay.

[Paula Scanlon]

There's plenty I do not know about Iran and I don't think I know enough to have a strong opinion to say, you know, this is what Trump should be doing. I'm in no position to be to know more than the president of the United States of America. And so I will say about Gen Z, is that something a lot of people don't consider. There's a lot that people who are voicing these opinions do not know in specific and are still able to freely say which they should be allowed to. But I do understand also that Gen Z people in general, again, are not seeing the full picture here. They're not the president. They don't have the same information he does. And so that can kind of explain this mismatch going on here. And it's not surprising. Again, young people are always sort of in this position and this does not shock me in the slightest.

[Jack Posobiec]

And no, it doesn't. Libby Emmons, you're someone who participated in the anti war movement in 2003 for Iraq. What is your take here?

[Paula Scanlon]

Christine?

[Libby Emmons]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of foreign wars and I'm not a big fan of this one. I wasn't a big fan of Iraq either. I will say that now that we are involved in this, my primary interest is making sure that the US Comes out on top and that our troops come home safely. And that is, that is really my entire concern here. And I think that there will be plenty of time after this is over. Hopefully it's over in a short period of time. President Trump had said at the outset, four to five weeks. We're coming up on that where I think in the third week now. So we'll see how that goes. He's also said that it's open ended and we've seen from centcom that they are preparing for this to go through September. I don't know that the American people have the stomach for a long, drawn out conflict in the Middle East. I'm not sure that that's going to be what people are interested in voting for when it comes to the 2026 midterms. But I do know that the American people are heartful enough and smart enough to know that an escalation like this is best when America wins and that what's best for our troops is what's best for the country.

[Jack Posobiec]

Certainly is. Now, I want to jump topics again here on our round robin panel to the Oscars. And I wanted to play this clip from the Oscars last night. Let's throw it up, guys. I should warn you, tonight could get political. Okay. And if that makes you uncomfortable, there's an alternate Oscars being hosted by Kid Rock. Yeah, it's at the Dave and Busters down the street. A lot of tickets for that. All right. So Libby Emmons, you know, we just. What's up, Producer Foz, Good to see you on hanging out there. And Libby Emmons wanted to ask you what's going on. Why is it that Conan o' Brien just in a few words, is going after the Turning Point halftime show?

[Libby Emmons]

I, yeah, I thought it was actually a win for Turning Point that we went after the halftime show. And if there was a Kid Rock hosted Dave and Buster's awards ceremony down the street, I would totally go to that and I would get in some skeeball while I was there. Yeah. Conan o' Brien had a laugh at Turning Point's expense. And it wasn't really at their expense because Turning Point did such a kick ass job on their halftime show. And also it speaks to the fact that most Americans are not particularly interested in watching these lavish awards ceremonies. We all know that they're getting like thousands and thousands of dollars and little gift bags backstage and that they love awarding themselves these, these special prizes, you know, and I think most of us are not that interested in watching them do it anymore.

[Jack Posobiec]

Paula Scanlon, when it comes to Gen Z, when it comes to you, do the Oscars still rate the way they used to?

[Paula Scanlon]

You know, I didn't even know the Oscars were happening. Guys off screen. Before we started this segment, I actually asked what are the Oscars for? Is this acting or music? Because I had no idea. I might be the exception. I've never once followed these Hollywood events. You know what I spent my night doing last night watching Selection Sunday and thinking about what I'm going to be doing in my March Madness bracket. So maybe this is just telling for me, but I think that these out of touch Hollywood celebrities doing much of anything is not something I'm interested in. I looked through the list of winners for this Oscars and I'm going to be honest, I have never seen one of the movies that were involved and I haven't even heard of most of the actors who have won these awards. And so maybe that's just me, but it's not something that really piqued my interest. And again, them making jokes like that. I wouldn't even have known that if you hadn't showed me that clip.

[Jack Posobiec]

No, exactly. And they're just jealous because at the end of the day we had double, I'm looking at this. We had double the ratings of the oscars. We had 40 million in the first 24 hours. That's households, by the way, they're, they're lucky if they broke 19 the Oscars. And by the way, I'm just going to say it, they've become the award show for the most anti white woke film that people can make. Paula Scanlon, Libby Emmons, thank you so much for joining us here today. Human events, right that guys, that storm continues. Wow, look at it, look at it down there at the White House. The storm is really serious. The Jack Posobic Appreciation Hour.

[News Reporter]

I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Boic. And that, that is, I'm being honest.

[Jack Posobiec]

All right, folks, Jack back live, Human events daily, Real America's voice. And folks, guys, leave that shot up. Look at this. This is the White House right now. The flags are down. Now we don't have control over this shot. But I want to, I want to look at the trees a little bit to see whether or not the trees are starting to whip back and forth. We know the storm is expected to be hitting the White House with full force here just in the next couple of minutes. And so you look at what's going on. That's why the flags are down, of course. But the President's still at work. The president could have stay down in Florida. The president could have you know, obviously worked in the Southern White House, the winter White House, still a little bit of winter, I suppose, but it's, you know, ricking very, very closely. The first day of spring is Saturday. So president is hard at work while the storm commences there at the White House. But yes, those large flags. Those large flags removed there at the White House. I wanted to get into something that I discussed while making my media rounds this morning, that one of the things that people have been saying, and I keep hearing this back and forth regarding the Iran situation has to do with boots on the ground. Where are the boots on the ground? What's going on is this Marine Expeditionary Unit, which is headed. So what's currently happening is the Marine Expeditionary Unit, which is the 31st, they're based out of Japan. They were conducting operations in Asia. They are now speeding and steaming at full speed, not quite flank speed, but certainly very quickly through the Strait of Malacca, down through Malaysia and then up to the Persian Gulf, where they will arrive in about a week's time or so, maybe about a week, week and a half at that speed. They're going to pick up a couple littoral combat craft and some others to bring them on board, and then they will be on station to be able to provide what the president would refer to in the military community as optionality. Optionality will be given to the president regarding boots on the ground. And the biggest piece that everyone's talked about over and over, they keep saying, well, we need boots on the ground potentially for Kharg Island. That Kharg island is necessary to be taken so that the Iranian economy will then be severed from the Iranian leadership. And Carg island, why is this important? Because 90% of Iran's oil flows through this island. It's an island processing center just, just off the coast of Iran, where they then have the ability to load and offload their ships. And those ships then are sent out through the Strait of Hormuz, down through the Gulf, out through the Strait and then on predominantly towards China. So this is a key node in, in China's energy resources. And why does this matter, their belt and road initiative? Because this entire thing, if you look at Ukraine, you look at Iran, what's it really all about? China and Russia. And President Trump has always said that everything is about China and Russia and getting them on sides. It's also why early this morning, you heard what Caroline Levitt, press secretary and then Secretary Bessant both sort of came out and said, looks like that meeting that was planned for later this month or in April, is going to be postponed. The meeting between President Trump and Xi Jinping, which was meant to take place, by the way, in Beijing, in China. So President was going to fly to China. It looks like that at the moment has been taken off the cards. But I want or is not in the cards, but I want to talk about the Carg island situation and as pertains to the Persian Gulf so that everyone can get some understanding on this. This is, this is key because it's being presented in the media as some sort of binary situation that either President Trump has to put boots on the ground or he has to destroy all of the oil infrastructure of Kharg island, which is located in the Persian Gulf. We've got numerous maps on this. And what we can do then is to say, well, Mr. President, you've got to choose one or the other. Either destroy all the infrastructure or put boots on the ground. Destroy all the oil infrastructure, put boots on the ground. Those are the only two options. And obviously the reason being is that they want boots on the ground. There's a lot of people like Lindsey Graham, who's been jester gooning for a wider war, who wants the mission creep, who wants boots on the ground, who wants to see the US engulfed and entrenched in a much wider war in Iran with those boots on the ground, which of course would certainly come under fire because Cargill island is under. It could potentially be under direct artillery fire because it's within range of Iranian conventional artillery, not to mention drones, not to mention missiles, et cetera, et cetera. But are those really the only two options? I don't think so. And this is something where the tactical and the strategic picture are actually connected. So let's talk tactics for a second here. What is the goal? What's the operational goal? Well, if the operational goal here is to sever the oil flow, there's a couple options that you could be given that the President United States has on his desk today if he wants them. Number one, the pier itself. You don't have to be a Navy intelligence officer to know that the US Navy can take out a pier. We've been doing it for 200 years. You can take out the pier and then, guess what? The boat can't park. If the boat can't park, it's called mooring. So if you take out its ability to moor, then the boat cannot be loaded with its cargo, in this case, oil. So there are many ways to neutralize the island without having to take out these wider facilities. This of Course could apply to numerous other implements there. And by the way, then if they try to repair the piers, well, all you have to do is take. Is go take out the repair ship too. I mean, it's really not that hard. This actually can be done from the air. There's no real necessity for this whatsoever to be done by boots on the ground or from like a carpet bombing situation. So I don't really get why people are trying to say that from a tactical perspective. I know why they're saying it from a strategic perspective, because they want something else. And that's one of the problems that you have in any of these situations, that people don't actually say what they mean. They say something else because they don't want to say what their truth is. So you don't need boots on the ground to take Carter Islands, neutralize them, to take them out of the fight. That's number one also, by the way. Cyber, cyber offensive capabilities could be used here very quickly. So anything that has a computer in it that has to do with the loading and unloading of oil on any of the ships out of Iran, you could fry it in a second. Israel themselves did this all the way back in 2010 when they used the Stuxnet virus. It was sort of a worm to shut down Iran's oil infrastructure and oil, or, excuse me, their nuclear research program was easily done and done so overnight by getting this virus into their systems. Really simple. You could do that as well for Carg Island. Now they don't have the ability to load the ships because the computers can't talk to each other. Now there's other options as well. So if you're talking about the oil flow, if that's really what you're going after, why target the island at all? Use the Strait of Hormuz to your benefit, because all of the oil that is going to be coming from Cargill island also has to go through the maritime choke point of the Strait of Hormuz. And so what could you do then? You could seize the oil the same way that we've seen the United States Navy. Remember just a couple of months ago, the US Navy was seizing those Venezuelan tankers, the Russian Ghost fleet was being seized on, you know, up in the northern Atlantic and places not too far off the coast of Greenland, by the way, so many other areas. So again, this choke point is a problem for the Iranians as well. It's a risk for them as well. Seize the oil. Just seize it. It's really simple. And then if China wants it Guess what? China could cut a deal with the Americans because that's exactly what the president wants. He wants China to come to the negotiating table. Now, of course, the president knows this. The president knows everything that's going on. He knows that he's using these key leverage points as well as he conducts this operation. We're now entering week three of it. So we'll do questions of the day tomorrow. We didn't do one today, but question of the day for tomorrow will be as follows. How do you feel about the Iran operation as we enter week three? And our email is 1776 human events.com 1776@human events.com how do you feel about the Iran operation as we enter week three? President United States clearly has a plan in place. President Trump is a generational leader. President Trump is a transformative leader. And when you have a generational leader, a transformative leader, you are going to, to require, you're going to absolutely require change. You're going to need change. And it's through that change that we get great things. By the way, guys, throw that, throw that shot of the, of the White House up again. I think I actually thought I just saw a lightning flash there. I'm not sure. But we know the storm is definitely hitting. We know the storm is getting hot and heavy there tonight in or today, I should say in Washington, D.C. and it certainly will be continuing tonight. So pray for the president, pray for everyone who's in the storms, the storm's way, and certainly pray for our troops who are in harm's way as well as the troops that are on their way to harm's way. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
