Christ is king. We know charges have not yet officially been brought against 32 year old Nick Reiner. We know that this morning Nick is expected to appear in in court here.
Senator Bernie Moreno
Downtown as early as this morning.
Jack Posobiec
We're still waiting for those official charges which should come as early as this morning.
Senator Bernie Moreno
I'm Rob Reiner and America we've got a problem. We've been attacked by a foreign enemy power and our president refuses to defend us.
Commentator/Critic
He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He said he liked, he knew it was false. In fact it's the exact opposite that I was a friend of Russia controlled by Russia. You know it was the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself in career wise he became like a deranged person. Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all.

Secretaries Hegseth and Rubio were set to come here to Capitol Hill to answer lawmakers questions about this mounting series of strikes on on alleged drug boats. The Pentagon overnight releasing this new video showing that it hit three more leaving at least eight people dead in the eastern Pacific bringing the total number of these strikes since September on what the administration alleges are drug smuggling vessels to at least 25.

Police now have released new images of this person, the individual they believe to be connected to this shooting. You can, you can see them right here. These are three pieces of new video. They're asking for the public's help here. In this new video which is clearer than the images we had seen, officials are pointing to the fact that this individual they believe is about 5ft 8 inches tall. They identify him. The FBI is calling him stocky. You can see the jacket there, two tone jacket, maybe a little bit of green. And clearly the man is mass.
Jack Posobiec
Hi Jack. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We are here on Real America's voice. Today is December 16, 2025 Anno Domini. But I got a problem, I got a problem with today's date and let me tell you why, because there's currently a mass shooter on the Loose who killed two people at Brown University. And we have no idea what's going on, one of which was the vice president of the College Republicans. A beautiful young conservative female, gone, shot in the head, dead right before Christmas. Ella Cook is not going home. Be home with her family this Christmas. She's not going back to Alabama with Mom and dad? No. And why not? Because she was shot and killed in a targeted killing. Here's People keep saying, oh, it's not target. It's not target. It's not target. You can't say that, Jack. You can't say that. Explain this to me. How did this guy go from the street? Walking around, walking around, hands behind his back, lollygagging around to a specific room, to a specific floor, to a specific door, opens it up, locks eyes with the teaching assistant. The guy is all over media, Right? Media loves him now. Locks eyes with the teaching assistant. Teaching assistant. I locked eyes with him. I locked eyes. Did you do anything? Did you lunge for him? Did you try to get the gun? Did you try to stop him? Did you try to do anything? No. No, he ducked down. He ducked down, heard the shooter say something, and then, boom, in the blink of an eye, Ella Cook is dead. And then her friend is dead. Nine more students get shot up, and this guy just walks out of there. It has been three days, three days too long. And conservative media is, like, completely forgotten about this. Shout out to Steve Batten, because he's talked about it. But conservative media, when a college Republican gets shot in the head and killed right before Christmas, I don't know where everybody is. I don't get it. But he was walking around saying, oh, well, it's too bad.
Podcast Host/Advertiser
Let's.
Jack Posobiec
Let's go look at Rob Reiner tweet. Let's go look at President Trump. We're gonna. Conservative media cares more about denouncing Trump, a concern. Trolling Trump over a Rob Reiner tweet than they do about the life of Ella Cook. And how do I know this? Because that's what you spent all day talking about yesterday. You spent all day, all day talking about this. They're terrified. They're terrified to actually confront the left. That's why the conservatives don't. Conservative media and conservative. So many elected officials, not all, but so many in Congress. They don't talk about Tyler Robinson. They don't talk about the Steve Scalise shooting. They don't talk about leftist violence. No, they're terrified. They're scared. They're cowards. You're coward. If you refuse to talk about these things. You're a coward. You get up there, you talk about anything else on the Sun. Oh, Tyler Robinson. No, no, no, no. We can't talk about that. Ellico. No, no, no, no. Cancer. You are a coward. Where is everything? And I went on Warren this morning, I said, I'll say it again. It's time to go full Frank Rizzo. You need to go full Frank Rizzo on every single subversive group on that campus, Brown University, which is a hotbed, a hotbed of these far left groups. Now, I'm not saying that's exactly we know who did it. But guess what? You gotta start somewhere. Somebody knows something. Somebody knows something and they're not talking. Let me tell you something else. I think the university knows something. I think the administration knows something. How do you get into the room? How do you get in the room? Is that door open or did he have a key card? And if he had a key card, could he perhaps have. I don't know and I'm just. I'm just asking questions. Could he possibly have some tie to the university? Something they don't want people knowing? We need answers and we're not getting anything. Where's the FBI? Where's the FBI? They should be giving interviews and press conferences every hour on the hour until he's caught. We'll be right back.

Libby Emmons, the editor in chief of the Post, Millennial and human events and Libby, I'm sorry, what are we even doing here? What are we even doing here? It has been 72. So in two hours time. In two hours time, it's now 2pm Eastern on the east coast of the Republic. In two hours time, it will have been three full days since the murder of Ella Cook. What are we even doing here?
Libby Emmons
Yeah, so far, as you say, it has been just about three days. And so far, it looks like there aren't really any leads, which is kind of shocking. We know, of course, they had a person of interest in custody, then they let them go. And they just keep. The FBI and local police just keep releasing these same grainy images of the suspect over and over again. You can't see his face. You can barely see anything about him. They just released another one just a few minutes ago that shows him sort of the front side of him. The best that you can really hope for here is that someone will recognize the way that he's walking or perhaps his jacket. But he's wearing a mask. He's fully covered. It's cold up in Rhode island, so, you know, everyone's bundled up and there he is. What's going on? Why don't they tell us anything? On Sunday, when they gave us a press conference, they said that authorities said that they would continue to keep us updated no matter what, even if they had no new information to provide. And so far, what we've got are what, like daily press conferences without anything new going on? Either they have absolutely no leads and no suspect and no understanding of what's going on, or they're hiding stuff from the public. It's got to be one or the other of those two things.
Jack Posobiec
Now, Libby, this. And unfortunately, we are forced to ask questions because we're not getting any answers or any details from either of the FBI or the university here. But I'm just gonna say the fact of the matter remains is that we see this ta. He's up on cnn. He's out there. And look, look, I don't mean to be critical of someone who survived a mass shooting, all right? I really don't. But let's just say this. We know that he says he claims that he locked eyes with the shooter. If someone is a ta, typically they're going to be in a position where they're either standing or they could be sitting in a circle. And he's got a certain air of prominence where people are looking at him as he's teaching. The class says he locked eyes with a shooter and the shooter didn't shoot him. So he did survive and he made that choice. And yet he did kill Ella Cook. That, to me says perhaps there's a good chance that she was in fact targeted.
Libby Emmons
Yeah, that's something that Mark Halperin came out with as well. He was saying that he had heard from the family of Ella Kirk that she was specifically targeted for this killing, which is really shocking if that's true, that someone would go out of their way to murder a college student. The vice president, I believe, of the young Republicans on campus, and you start to wonder, is this another politically motivated killing that we've been seeing? And of course, after the, after the shooting, Reddit had to turn off their Brown board. They had to disable it because there were too many people going onto that site to celebrate her murder. It was pro Palestinian style students that were going onto that site to celebrate that she had been killed. I don't know Ella Kirk, I don't know her family. My heart goes out to them. Anytime you send your child off to make their way in the world to get an education, the last thing you expect is that they're going to come home in a body bag for something like this. And I think that we really need to find out if that was true, because certainly if Ms. Cook was targeted specifically, that should give a much better indication as to who the suspect was. There can't be that many people who look like the shape of the silhouette of this guy who have out for. Who are out for her blood.
Jack Posobiec
Look, and I'm sorry, like Libby. And maybe you probably know exactly who I'm talking about or what I mean when I say this. It's time to go. Frank Rizzo. It's time to go full Frank Rizzo. All right, it's 72 hours. You got to shake the box a little bit here. You got to start smashing up all of these groups on campus, all the subversive groups, the leftist groups, and say, you know what?
Commentator/Critic
What?
Jack Posobiec
We're going to ask around. Have you seen this guy? Who is this guy? Why does it. What does he look like? Who? Do you know anybody? Where were you? Hey, you kind of look like this guy. Where were you on Saturday at 4 o'.
Martha Stewart
Clock.
Jack Posobiec
Do you have an alibi? Again, you have to actually be willing to take this investigation and do it seriously. We don't hear anyone doing that. And oh, by the way, they can't even do it because they let the kids go home already.
Libby Emmons
Yeah, isn't that shocking as well? Yesterday, Brown University put out a statement asking anyone who had been a witness who was in that building on those days to come forward and speak to authorities about what they had seen. But they've already closed the campus, they've canceled finals, they canceled classes, and they've sent everyone home. So it's certainly possible that they already sent the shooter home. It's been a few days. Rhode island is a very small state. It's very easy to get in and out of that state. He could be out the door already. He could be in another country. We have no idea. And the school and the police and the FBI clearly haven't done enough to lock that area down so that they could really find who they were looking for. They lifted the shelter in place a few, you know what, Sunday morning after it had been put into place on Saturday afternoon, people were just allowed to go back to their dorm rooms. Every single person on that campus should have been made to stay in place until they figured out who was not where they're supposed to be and figure out what's going on there. It's really shocking, in fact. And I'm starting to worry about that they may never find this shooter, that this person is going to get off scot free. Which leaves, of course, the door open for more copycat cases just like this to go on across the country. If you don't like somebody from their political views on your campus, well, by all means, you know, take a page out of this guy's book, apparently, and you're just gonna, you're just gonna get off with nothing.
Brick Suit
It's.
Libby Emmons
It's shocking.
Jack Posobiec
And Libby, I'm just gonna say, you know, you've got, as I hate to say it, but you've got a son who's getting towards college age. As a mom, how does this make you feel that this is what could happen, given that some horrible thing like this could occur?
Libby Emmons
It's pretty terrible. The fact of the matter is that if you're the parent of a high school student these days, you've already had your kid go through lockdown drills for years at this point. There's been lockdown drills since he was in middle school in Brooklyn and there were NYPD stationed at his school. There were NYPD stationed at all the. Because in New York, you know, you gotta be really careful. The rest of the country, they're like, oh, you're hardening our schools for me. Last year, when we had the opportunity where we live now, to vote in if there should be resource officers at the school, I was like, yeah, put some people. Put some armed people at the school. So we've seen this for years. Kids are in danger at their places of education. And the tragedy, too, is that the education they're getting is pretty in the toilet already. So now you're sending your kids off to get a subpar education and they might be massacred by crazy people. And now this is happening at colleges as well. You start to wonder, what is the point of these institutions when they have already been discredited academically? They've been discredited for the excessive diversity discrimination that they have put into place for the WOKE indoctrination that they're doing. And now they can't even keep kids safe in a lecture hall when they're studying for an econ exam. I don't know what use Brown University is. It had all of these Gaza camp protests already, just like so many of the other Ivy League schools. It's getting money from the federal government. It's got a massive endowment, yet for some reason, they've only offered a $50,000 reward for information on this offer a million offer, whatever it takes. They've got the money. They should cough it up and find Ella Cooks killer. And there was another student as well, and we haven't heard as much about him. But this, the. The man who is also killed deserves justice for his death. It's not right these schools should be holding themselves responsible for this kind of thing.
Jack Posobiec
No, that's exactly right. And of course, the name Muhammad Aziz, and the idea is, it's very simple and it's very horrifying that we have these systems in place that we tell ourselves are going to make us safe, are going to be safe. That sort of thing doesn't happen here. And I'm sure, by the way, that Brown University has more than its share of fully funded DEI departments and pride departments and pride speeches and pride this and that and all of, you know, critical race theory departments and all the rest of it. But the question that I have is how much time did you put into your security? How much time did you focus and did you focus on the people who are at your campus, particularly these groups who are becoming more and more violent and more and more agitators on campus. And when it comes down to it, your streets can be safe if the people on them are not dangerous. It's as simple as that, folks. We write back. Jack Posobic, Limby emonds Human Events Daily continues here on Real America's Voice. The search for Ella Cook's murderer unfortunately continues.

Commentator/Critic
He's got a great job.
Jack Posobiec
All right, Jack Posobic, we're back here. Human Events Daily want to welcome back to the program here Senator Bernie Moreno of the great state of Ohio. Senator Moreno, how are you?
Senator Bernie Moreno
I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on your show.
Jack Posobiec
Well, I appreciate you having us on, but unfortunately, the topic we were just talking about here is this horrific shooting up at. Up at Brown University. Ella Cook, who we're told is the or was the vice president of the College Republicans. There was. And the fact that it's now been almost 72 hours with no killer found, her murderer still at large. This is something where, unfortunately, Senator, we are seeing the rise. And I know we can't specifically call this politically targeted yet because we don't quite know exactly what happened, but we certainly are seeing the rise of violence on campus.
Senator Bernie Moreno
Yeah, look, honestly, I'm shocked that the university wasn't better prepared. My oldest son actually went to school in Brown. I can't believe that they didn't have more cameras, that there wasn't more surveillance going on, given what's happening in college campuses, especially with anti Semitism and the rise of these pro Palestinian protests. So I think the university certainly has to take a look at why they didn't have those resources ready at the go. This is a university that costs obscene amounts of money and gets lots of federal funding. So I'm really curious to see what their plan is to make certain that something like this can never happen again.
Jack Posobiec
Well, I think that's exactly right. And unfortunately, you know, here we are, it's almost three months from another event of violence on a campus, and that was the murder of Charlie Kirk, someone who I know was, had endorsed you and had backed you and worked with you during your campaign. Someone, of course, who was a friend to all of us. And it has to be said that these shootings on campus unfortunately seem to be continuing.
Senator Bernie Moreno
Yeah, well, look, we have to get to the bottom of what's going on with our young people in this country. Obviously, they feel disaffected. The propaganda machine that they've been subjected to by the left is obviously taking root. These are college professors that aren't teaching them critical skills. They're teaching them to hate this country. They're teaching them a twisted form of history. And thanks to Joe Biden and the Democrats, they've made basic American life unaffordable. So they don't feel like there's hope for them. And that's obviously affecting them. The COVID policies that were insane during the Biden era as well, shutting down schools, remote learning, things like that, all has taken its toll and really have to refocus our resources and make certain that we give our young people hope in this country.
Jack Posobiec
I think that's right. And Senator, I wanted to also ask one piece that's in the news right now. Your friend and colleague, J.D. vance, the Vice President, has been out there speaking about it. This New York Times piece regarding Chief of Staff Susie Wiles over at the White House, she's come out and said that she views it as a hit piece. Piece is taken out of context. Vice President Vance has come out and said that, you know, he thinks that he has a good relationship with her. What's the relationship been with Susie Wiles, Chief of staff and the U.S. senate?
Senator Bernie Moreno
Look, she's incredibly well respected. When she comes into the Senate lunches, she basically gets a. Almost any ovation. People know that she's a rock. She's incredibly loyal to the President when others, by the way, were extremely disloyal. She's run the White House very, very well. Look, Vanity Fair is a division of a company called Advance Publications. They own the Cleveland Plain Dealer in Ohio. It is a rat's nest of liberal radical ideology. These are not journalists. Actually, I had to look that up today, Jack, to be honest with you. I didn't realize Vanity Fair was still in business. And there's people actually still read that crap. It is a total hit piece. And look, Susie's an amazing person, the most powerful woman on earth, probably, and the best chief of staff of my lifetime, of any president that I can think of. And she deserves nothing but our respect.
Jack Posobiec
And I certainly, certainly have always heard that reputation from her anywhere that I've been, whether Vice president's around, whether president's around. You know, I just don't hear these, these characterizations of her from anyone really, that, that in, you know, that comport with his Vanity Fair piece.
Senator Bernie Moreno
No, look, she's somebody who's just a block and tackler. She knows exactly what to do. When, when the Rose Garden Club was first open, she sat at our table. She's very warm. She's very kind. She asked about my wife. She knows my kids. She's somebody who just builds relationships. She lets President Trump be President Trump. And again, just extraordinarily effective. Look what the administration has done, Jack, just this year, what President Trump has accomplished from January 20 till now, basically 11 months, has never been done in the history of this country. Totally secured our border. He's reset the entire trading relationships in this country. He's unleashed American energies, brought down gas prices, brought down egg prices. We have, we passed the Working Families Tax Cut Bill that's going to put a lot of money in the hands of working Americans. Get rid of this EV mandate, these EV incentives that were actually crushing the auto industry. All that in 11 months. You can't do that unless you have a chief of staff. That's extremely effective. And that's exactly who Suzy Wiles is.
Jack Posobiec
And Senator Raynor, just in the last few minutes that I have you, one of the other big pieces the administration has been touting lately is in the past year, this first year that they've been back in office, is their accomplishments on immigration.
Senator Bernie Moreno
Well, look, Jack, when I campaigned a year ago, if I had said to any audience that we were going to have zero border crossings per month for seven months in a row, my team probably would have said, hey, you got to dial it back a little bit. That's too much hyperbole. And that's exactly what's happened. We haven't passed a single new law in Congress to get a secure border. All we did is we changed presidents. And what that means, Jack, is that what Biden and the Democrats did, enabled the largest invasion of this country by a group of millions of illegal migrants was completely intentional. And it was about destroying the fabric of this country. They would have succeeded if not for the election of last November.
Jack Posobiec
Well, I think that's exactly right. And clearly this is an issue that has not only galvanized the American people, galvanized the voters, but certainly, I'm sure you hear it quite a bit when you're at home in Ohio, because I know, I hear it all over Pennsylvania.
Senator Bernie Moreno
Yeah, look, it's bringing down housing prices, it's bringing down rents, it's bringing down insurance costs. It's bringing down the cost eventually of health care. You know, you brought in 12, 10, 12, 13, 14 million people into this country. They took our housing market and put it into shambles. They've almost kneecapped our entire health care system, our social safety net system. Do you remember those luxury hotel rooms in New York that were absolutely full with illegal migrants at the cost of $10,000 per migrant per month.
Jack Posobiec
The migrant hotels, those days are gone. That's what they were.
Senator Bernie Moreno
That's what they were. And all of them. Yeah. The Democrats pretend like it never happened, Jack. And we can never let them off the hook. They almost destroyed this country. President Trump saved us.
Jack Posobiec
That's exactly right. Senator Moreno, where can people go to follow your office? For more updates, go on our website.

All right, I want to bring back now Libby Emmons to the program. And Libby, there was this just phenomenal piece out in Compact magazine by Jacob Savage and it's called the Lost Generation. And it's talking about white males roughly born in the 1980s, and he wrote about them entering the workforce in the late 2000s, early 2010s and how they constitute sort of a lost generation due to the widespread institutionalization of DEI around 2014 and said that these policies systematically disadvantage them in elite professions like media, academia and entertainment. Shifting from merit based opportunities to explicit preferences for other demographic groups. And is he just goes through a variety of other of industries. But interestingly, he starts with talking about his career that he was trying around 2016 as a scriptwriter in Los Angeles. And I thought, well, Libby, you come from a theater background in New York now, as far as I know you are not a biological male.
Ad Voice
But.
Jack Posobiec
But certainly you can. You might be able to shed some light on what happened here.
Libby Emmons
Yeah, this is something I read this article with great interest because it mirrored a lot of what I saw in New York City. In the New York City indie theater SC in the not for profit theater scene in New York City, it was very, very similar. I watched the careers of white men collapse for no reason other than DEI initiatives being implemented by theaters. The way that playwrights generally get money is by submitting projects for grant proposal for like grants, free money. And then you work on your project. And there were a lot of grants that started changing from just being we want some good play to we want a specific kind of play about the black experience written by black writers, or we want something about the black trans experience written by a black woman identified writer, or we want something about climate change written by an Asian American writer. And this is what was going on in theater. And it was going on across the arts industries, academia and as Jacob Savage writes, across other disciplines as well as. And it was obvious while it was happening, we watched it happen. And in fact, in theater there was this really fascinating thing that happened where you had all of these minority playwrights and everyone went to the same stupid graduate schools and got the same MFAs and churned out the same kind of content set for the stage with their very voicey and politically active and all of the rest of it. And then what happened was you had a group of very vocal people in New York City downtown theater who were saying that what needed to happen is there needed to be what they called a jubilee year where all of the white male writers would step back and would not write their plays, would not have their plays produced, and where theaters would not produce the plays of any white men. That's what it was called. It was organized, it was direct, it was clear, it was written about in arts journals. They called it the Jubilee Year. It was implemented. Theaters had agreed to not produce any white male plays for an entire year. The year they picked, ironically, was 2020, and all the theaters were shut down anyway. So in classic Greek play, ironic fashion, the Jubilee year ended up being a jubilee for everyone. No one got their plays produced in 2020 because no one was producing plays. But we did see this. This was in the arts.
Jack Posobiec
This is.
Libby Emmons
Has been. And across the disciplines, white men were excluded. They were systemically excluded. They were told that their voices were not important and that they should not try to get their work out there, that they owed it to the minority writers and artists to take a step back and let other people have the floor. We know, of course, past discrimination cannot be remedied by present discrimination. But none of that mattered to the Marxists who were deciding what kind of entertainment should be seen on stages, on screens, and who should be providing that content.
Jack Posobiec
I want to read a specific. This is from a portion of it where it's talking about a newsroom, and it might be 2020, because they're talking about a zoom call. And he's saying, look at this. When questioning these new priorities, the response will shift. On a zoom call, women would clap back at something I was saying, and other women would snap their fingers in the wind. He recalled. It was this whole subcultural language that was being introduced wholesale. How interesting. They would snap their fingers and clap back whenever anyone tried to respond. And rather than. So rather than even give any kind of actual substantive response, it was just sort of mocked and got fingers snapped, and that was it. And this is in a piece where they're talking about this individual who we don't know his real name, but his name is Andrew, and he's talking about how. And it's just true. Look at this. In 2021, new hires at Conde Nast were just 25% male, only 25% male. And of that. So 75% female or other and 49% white. And he says it's. It's true. The same. You know, you see similar statistics at the LA Times, the San Diego Union Tribune, ProPublica and NPR. 78% of new hires were people of color. 78%. And he went in, and I believe it's writers rooms. So writers rooms for TV. And this is where your TV show gets made, your Saturday Night Live gets made, etc. Writers rooms are now only 11.9% white males, 11.9%. Whereas if you go back to the heyday of Saturday Night Live or the Simpsons or any of these great comedy shows, they certainly constituted the majority of those areas. And those rooms. So the question is, what happened there and why did it? And also, I love the very end, and I know we have a couple minutes left, but I love the very end of the article, he says, so let's look at the results. Is the media more trusted now than a decade ago? Is Hollywood making better films and television? Is academia more respected? Have these institutions become stronger since they systemically excluded an entire cohort? Or did abandoning meritocracy accelerate their decline?
Libby Emmons
Yeah, I think that that was such a good point. I also noted that specifically because, no, the answer is no. TV isn't better. Academia is not more trusted. Institutions are not more trusted. Education is not better. It's not even as good. Most of these things are not even as good. If you go to talk to somebody about what shows that you like, you know, the odds are that you're not even watching the same stuff because everything is so niche and fractured. There's nothing that captures the attention and the heart of all Americans the way that shows used to. You know, I mean, even something like Friends, where the people who were on that. What?
Jack Posobiec
Oh, no, I was gonna push back a little bit. I was gonna push back a little bit because this is. And we only admit it. So I don't mean to cut you off, but. And you're right, there's no Friends, there's no Seinfeld, there's no Cheers, there's no mash. But what we do have is Stranger Things. And I've been talking about this quite a bit lately. So we're in the midst of the new Stranger Things, the grand finale. Netflix is pushing this everywhere. It's impossible to walk down the street without seeing the mass propaganda for this thing. And I would point out that Stranger Things was originally written in this timeframe, 2010 to 2014 timeframe. That's really when they, they got it off. It was called Montauk. Originally there were some lawsuits regarding someone claim there were two white males, the Duffer brothers, who put it together. But I've submitted that somewhere along the line, all of the DEI got added to Stranger Things because if you look like season one, season two, they're just kind of normal shows about like a small town that gets involved in a mystery and there's like a government cover up and it's kind of like E.T. but then when Obama gets involved in 2018, when they cut a huge deal with him and Susan Rice goes on the board of Netflix, all of a sudden all of these huge elements get added to Stranger Things and now they've basically taken over the show. Libby Emmons, I could talk to you about this forever, but unfortunately that's the end of our segment. Everyone go check it out. Compact Magic. Libby. Where can everyone go to follow you and your work?

Jack Posobiec
Amen. All right, Jack Soaker back. Human Events Daily. Folks, if you're a homeowner in America, you need to listen to this. The FBI has been warning about a type of real estate fraud that's on the rise called title theft. And unfortunately, even at Christmas time, these thieves are targeting your equity. Here's how it works. Criminals will forward your signature on a single document, use a fake notary stamp and file it with the county. And just like that, on record. They own your home. They use your ownership. They can take out loans against your equity and even sell your property. And you won't know about it until foreclosure or collection notices show up in the mail. That's why I partnered with Home Title Lock. So you can protect your equity. And find out today if you're already a victim. Use my promo code, posoometallock.com this Christmas and you'll get a free title history report and a free trial of their million dollar triple lock protection.

All right, let's do it like this. Want to bring on our next guest? It's Brick Suit. What's up, Rick?
Brick Suit
Not much, man. Having a good time here and getting ready to go to America Fest in Phoenix.
Jack Posobiec
Can't wait now. And I see the. I see the hat. I heart walls. Where are the suits, man? No suits.
Brick Suit
Suits are at the cleaners. You know, it's.
Jack Posobiec
They are getting ready for anthem. I see. I see.
Brick Suit
You know, it's. They're getting pressure Washed right now, like, all good.
Jack Posobiec
You're out of uniform, man. You're out of uniform.
Brick Suit
Partially, yes, I apologize.
Jack Posobiec
We got to get you like, we got to get you like a brick shirt to stand in when the suits are out. We'll get you a brick shirt. But yeah, like when it's like one of those fake suit shirts, you know, I mean, like a fake tuxedo. Anyway, I wanted to play a video that you and I were commenting on yesterday. And we're going to leave the microphones open and guys, let's, let's play that block e sot right now.
Guest Speaker
No, just know this is not the way. We can't with one hand call out the left when they laugh at and celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination just a few weeks ago. But on the other hand, normalize, condone, and tell people to just get a sense of humor when the President makes commentary like this. The situation was tragic. A drug addicted son killed his mother and father. Did that father have horrible political opinions that were dead wrong? Yes. Did that father make comments about Trump that were insensitive and wrong? Absolutely. Is this a moment to kick them while they're down? Absolutely not. We know better than anybody what political violence is like. They tried to kill Trump twice and they killed Charlie Kirk. This should be a moment of unity, a moment of our nation coming together to mourn. Not a moment to make light of a situation.
Jack Posobiec
Guys, can you, can you just, like, I just, I just can't. You can leave the picture up, but I can't take this anymore. Coming together to warn.
Brick Suit
I.
Jack Posobiec
No, look, look, look. What this seems to me is it represents an attempt to try to return back to sort of the Paul Ryan apology first. You know, golly gee, conservatism that lost us the entire country, from John McCain to Mitt Romney to Paul Ryan. Mike Pence kind of like just massive, massive Mike Pence energy off of this and undercutting the President. United States undercutting Donald Trump. Yeah. He is the man who took a bullet for this country. Yet Charlie Kirk is the man who died for America and who died for freedom of speech and sacrificed himself. And you know something? I'm done apologizing to the left. I'm done apologizing to left. Oh, we're so sorry about Trump's mean to. I mean, it's, it's a joke. I'm sorry. And if you think that that's going to make the left stop and make the bullet stop because you said, gosh, golly, maybe they'll like us like you're not going to make it. You're just not going to make it. Brick, what. I mean, what's going on here, man?
Brick Suit
Well, you know, a lot of people I saw talking about this yesterday were saying that this. This post by President Trump was indefensible. To which I would like to say, you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means, because it's completely defensible. Now, let's acknowledge that the situation for Mr. Reiners and his wife's death is absolutely tragic. And nobody deserves to die for their opinions. And if it holds out, the manner in which they met their demise makes it even more so. But Mr. Reiner was, for a very long time, an active, divisive force in American society. He was not simply an actor who was posting on Twitter or Facebook. He was taking physical part in undermining our, you know, the government, undermining President Trump's first term, hosting Brennan and Clapper and platforming the ridiculous Russian collusion ideas. So, you know, while I enjoyed his films, I really did. There are several of his films that I liked. And, you know, I am sad for his passing. That does not give him absolution from the political division that he instilled in America and got the ball rolling on that kind of behavior, which really led to a climate in which violence against the conservatives became acceptable and, in fact, was practice. We almost lost President Trump. We did lose Charlie.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah. And look, I mean, here's. Here's kind of what I want to say, too, is that even beyond sort of like. Like, I'm not, you know, gonna sit here and say that, you know, I agreed with any of this guy's stuff and. But I will say, actually that on a totally separate note, that I actually love liberals, and people totally get me wrong if they. If they think like, oh, Jack hates liberals. No, no, I love liberals. I think liberals are great when they're making movies. I think they're great when they're acting. I think they're great when they're doing art. I think they're great when they're, like, cutting hair and making food and doing this. These types of things. I just don't want liberals running the country or cities or running states because they're abjectly horrible at it. We've seen this time and time again when you have that emotionally based, you know, sort of like, you know, you're in. You're in a, you know, empathetically based, an empath type person, you know, then, yes, we are really good at the arts and those types of things. But what you're really bad at is making decisions, weighing pros and cons, making, you know, making decisions for the good of everyone. Like, that's what they tend to have problems with.
Brick Suit
Yeah. I mean, given the chance, they'll open the borders again. They'll pack the Supreme Court.
Jack Posobiec
I mean, out of empathy.
Brick Suit
New York. I'm not optimistic about that. But to get back on the topic of President Trump's post, I don't think there's anything in that he said in there that was inaccurate. And I understand, though, how people can take issue with it, because Most people know Mr. Reiner for his films. They're not aware of everything he did in the political realm. And that's why there's a disconnect there between, between the post and some people's feelings. I think. I believe it was entirely justified, the post.
Martha Stewart
Yeah.
Jack Posobiec
Look, and I'm not going to sit here and act like President Trump doesn't do counterpunches all the time. He's always done this. He's. This is like, like, oh, President Trump had a mean tweet, so you're going to throw him under the bus. That's what's disgusting to me. Right. That's even more disgusting is to say that you guys will sit there when we're taking bullets in. In directed at us. When you've got people who are under the threat of death, when you've got people who are standing up and speaking out and being killed for it. You got. Ella Cook's murderer is still on the loose up in Providence, Rhode Island. But you guys are more worried about. President Trump posted a truth social about a guy he didn't like. That's. That's what got me, man. It's just all this performative, like, apologizing and virtue signaling. I don't care about your virtue signaling. I care about stopping the people who are trying to kill us. It's really as simple as that.
Brick Suit
Yeah. I mean, I don't. I. Again, this road.
Jack Posobiec
You were, by the way, guys, I'm just going to say, because you're not saying it. You were there when President Trump was shot. You were there. You were in the front row. You were in the line of fire yourself.
Brick Suit
Yeah. Yes.
Martha Stewart
Yeah.
Brick Suit
There's footage from what I saw right there. So, you know, I have some indirect experience with this type of, this type of violence. That was a very traumatic day for America. It was difficult for me. I think everybody knows what happened that day. And we got to this position because of people like Rob Reiner in the first term, in president's first term, demonizing the president, calling him a traitor, accusing him of treason, calling him a fascist. And that's a lot of how we got to that spot in Butler. And just.
Jack Posobiec
I think that's right. And I think. And I think we need to understand what time it is. It's not the time for apologizing. It's time to man up, folks. Go follow Brick Suit across all social media. Find them at Brick Suit. He's the man. I can't wait to see him and you at amfest this weekend in Phoenix. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay short. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

Main Theme:
This episode of Human Events centers on criticism of media and institutional responses to political violence, alarming questions about campus safety after the Brown University shooting, deep concern over politically motivated violence, and broader cultural commentary on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and its effects on American institutions. The show features guest analysis and pointed discussions on controversial topics—all delivered in a confrontational, urgent, and sometimes provocative tone.
[05:20 – 24:19]
Memorable Quote:
“You are a coward. Where is everything?... You need to go full Frank Rizzo on every single subversive group on that campus.”
— Jack Posobiec [08:45]
[14:27 – 22:38]
[24:33 – 31:48]
[34:42 – 42:47]
[45:47 – 52:16]
On institutional failures:
“You spent all day, all day talking about this. They’re terrified. They’re terrified to actually confront the left…They don’t talk about leftist violence. No, they’re terrified. They’re scared. They’re cowards.”
— Jack Posobiec [07:50]
On DEI and exclusion:
“We know of course, past discrimination cannot be remedied by present discrimination. But none of that mattered to the Marxists who were deciding what kind of entertainment should be seen on stages, on screens, and who should be providing that content.”
— Libby Emmons [37:46]
Senator Moreno on campus security:
“I’m shocked that the university wasn’t better prepared...a university that costs obscene amounts of money and gets lots of federal funding.”
— Senator Bernie Moreno [25:23]
Brick Suit on political violence:
“We almost lost President Trump. We did lose Charlie.”
— Brick Suit [48:35]
On the culture war:
“I'm done apologizing to the left...if you think that's going to make the left stop...you're not going to make it.”
— Jack Posobiec [47:26]
This episode is a forceful, deeply critical takedown of how authorities, universities, and much of the media handle political violence and the marginalization of conservatives, especially on campus. Jack Posobiec and guests challenge the effectiveness and agenda of DEI initiatives, the integrity of campus and law enforcement responses, and the broader media establishment. The episode openly questions whether America’s leading institutions can still protect, represent, or even respect their traditional values—and urges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths rather than retreat into apologetic, passive conservatism.
