Israeli police have prevented Jerusalem's Latin patriarch from celebrating Palm Sunday mass. The police stopped Cardinal Pierre Batista Pizzabala, an archbishop with Catholic jurisdiction across Israel and the Palestinian territories, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in occupied East Jerusalem in order to conduct the mass there. Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni said that the incident was an offense not only to the faith, but to any community that respects religious freedom.

There's a lot of fake. All right, Any. Any. No, no, no, no, no. Any reporting on Cuba that you didn't get from me or the President is a liar. Cuba's economy needs to change and their economy can't change unless their system of government changes. It's that simple. Who's going to invest billions of dollars in a communist country?

Tonight, the Iran backed militant group the Houthis in Yemen entered the widening conflict. They launched an unsuccessful missile attack on Israel. 2500American Marines arrived in the region today. They're on board with the USS Tripoli along with 2500 sailors.

Military Analyst
The market is well supplied and we are seeing more and more ships go through on a daily basis as individual countries cut deals with the Iranian regime for the time being. But over time, the US is going to retake control of the straits and there will be freedom of navigation, whether it is through US escorts or a multinational escort.

Jack Posobiec (supporter/commentator)
We're doing extremely well in that negotiation. But you never know with Iran because we negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up.
- [02:59]
Iranian Official (Mohamed Baka Calabar)
Iran said on Sunday that it was ready to respond to a ground attack. That's as it accused the US of preparing a land assault even as it sought negotiations. In a message to the nation, Iran's parliament speaker Mohamed Baka Calabar said that as long as the Americans seek Iran's surrender, our response is that we will never accept at humiliation.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We're here live on Real America's Voice. Today is of course March 30, 2026 Anno Domini. One month of operations in Operation Iran. So let's go back and take a look at sort of the next next steps as we are. For the last 72 hours, Israeli combined force air campaign has continued to degrade Iranian missile production. Launch infrastructure, defense industry and even select sites related to their nuclear program. Talking about production facilities in in Parchin Hakiya as well as assessed that they are severely damaged and a halting short and medium range ballistic missile output until they are rebuilt. Iran of course maintains persistent ballistic missile barrages against Israel. We've seen seven plus barrages over last 72 hours, last three days using small salvo tactics to impose psychological strain and conserve their own stocks. We saw impacts in industrial areas such as near Beersheba and in Tel Aviv. We're also seeing over the weekend the Axis of Resistance activation. Houthis conducting their first direct strikes on Israel itself. The Houthis coming online, Iranian missiles hitting Kuwaiti infrastructure. Hezbollah activity tied to concurrent southern Lebanon incursion by Israel. And and so this is all firing up. It is all intensifying on the diplomatic track. The US via Pakistan now is pushing a 15 point plan. Trump of course has publicly threatened energy infrastructure sites and Cargill island seizure if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. Quote shortly. Iran has denied direct talks, but we do know that in Pakistan they held a meeting between the Pakistanis, the Egyptian foreign leader, the foreign Minister, the Turkish foreign minister and the Saudi foreign Minister. So this huge regional meeting taking place in Islamabad, Pakistan. Look for Islamabad, Pakistan to really now take the lead for these negotiations going forward. That's where we're seeing a lot of this since we're also hearing there is those reports coming out that J.D. vance himself may Take time to go to Pakistan to be a leader in those efforts. What else are we seeing along the way? The war is now at day 31, so we're at a month in. 3,000 total deaths reported across the theater. No US or Israeli ground incursions. The focus still remains on air dominance and attrition. And again we talked about this new axis of resistance as they're calling themselves, military drone campaigns. Iran launching five to 11 daily barrages, mostly small salvos of one to a few missiles targeting Israel. Those key impacts again, Beersheba with 20 more than 20 missile impacts. Direct hits near homes injured 11 Iranian missiles or debris struck the Adama chemical plant causing a fire and an 800 meter exclusion zone. We also saw explosions in Tel Aviv. There was a cluster munition that damaged homes in Savyan as well as a bicycle shop and others. The Houthis. The Houthis entering the conflict still remains one of the largest pieces and most significant of this. The Houthis have the ability to shut down the Red Sea. We saw them do it last year. We saw them shut down shipping and have to reroute all of those oil transfers around the southern tip of Cape Hope. If they have to do this again, that is going to cause already

already strained economy to have to fight back even further. We're hearing now as well from the IRGC aerospace Commander Mousavi. He publicly claimed that the chemical plant strike was retaliation and the machine. The regime maintains these missile launch disciplines despite degraded launcher inventory. So they still have the ability to fire these out. Of course, the coalition. We've seen that the USS George W. Bush aircraft carrier group is now reinforcing potential US deployments. We may see a switch out US Troops injured over the weekend as well. A lot going on folks. But we're here one month. We'll take your emails at the end of the show. And block E Human Events daily continues.

This is Human Events with Jack Posobic. Now it's time for everyone to understand what America first truly means. Welcome to to the second American Revolution. All right, folks, Jack was up. We're back live here. Human Events Daily. Now, folks, you know, I was down Texas all last week. I was down at cpac. And I gotta say, one thing that I absolutely loved was getting home to my ghostbed. So came home, had the ghostbed there, Tanya Tay, had everything all set up. And this thing was phenomenal. And look, we're down. We had nice digs down in Texas. Don't get me wrong. Not knocking it, but there's something about coming home to a Ghostbed. It just feels like a bed that you've slept in your whole life. And in fact, it feels like the mattress that you have been looking for your whole life. And I loved it. So my back, what can I say? My back just feels better when I sleep on my ghostbed. So Ghostbed is of course family owned and operated. They have three generations of doing business with right in the United States. You guys are going to love them. We always have a great time when we're using them. So what we really want you to do is get in there and check out their new deal because this spring we're entering the Easter season. We're also in the spring season. Guess what? You can get up to 101 Nights to try a ghost bed at home. And if you don't feel the difference, you can send it right back, risk free. Right now, Ghostbed is offering the Human Events audience the lowest prices of the season plus an extra 10% off. You just go to ghostbed.com poso and use promo code poso. That's ghostbed.com poso promo code poso. All right, here we are at the one month mark we told you before about this of Operation Iran. And I wanted to bring on Tom Sauer, a United States Navy veteran here to work on sort of a look as to where we are, what the situation is on the ground, and when it comes to these questions about the Strait of Hormuz. Tom, how are you?
- [11:19]
Tom Sauer
Good, man, thanks for having me back.
- [11:21]
Jack Posobiec
So, Tom, one thing that's really interesting is I remember that there were so many people saying that Iran's going to mine the strait. Iran's going to mine the strait. We haven't seen that yet, have we? And instead, what do we see? It looks like, to my mind, from the naval perspective, what we're seeing is the Ford is maybe rotating off station. We're told that they're up in. I think it's Cyprus, Cypress or Crete, and they're going to be getting their. Their workups. They're getting some replenishments and repairs. There was this fire, and now it looks like the bush is coming on station. Do you think that we're going to see. And I'm not saying, you know, any particular information. Do you think that we're going to see three carriers operating at the same time, or does this look like a rotation to you?
- [12:03]
Tom Sauer
I think it looks a lot more like a rotation because everything that I heard and read coming from the ford was that the damage done from that fire was pretty extensive. So now, keep in mind, though, that it's like, hey, in a fight, you know, an aircraft carrier, they, you know, those sailors, God bless them, I've been spent a lot of time on an aircraft carrier, and, you know, they can endure some tough conditions. That guy's just sleeping on mats and cots, like in the hangar bay because there's 600 racks, 600 beds that were completely taken out. A lot of these sailors lost all their personal belongings. And, you know, in a real fight, look, they could keep going that way. But the thing to think about is things are going quite well over there, that they were still operational. Yeah, life might have been tough for about 600 of those sailors, which is out of 5,000. That's not a small number of them, but they could still keep fighting. So it wasn't so much that the Ford had had to leave, like they're in big trouble. It was still an operational platform. They chose to leave. Right. So they're able to make that decision and they're going to head back. I imagine they're going to be in Crete for a while. And I mean, they might even just be heading back eventually. Last I checked, I think the Ford's been out on station for a long time.
- [13:14]
Jack Posobiec
And by the way, I just wanted to. I wanted to double check myself on that. I got totally messed up. My C word. It's Croatia. It is not creed. They're actually in Croatia. I think they may have made a couple stops, but they're Currently, currently docked in Croatia. They were at Suda Bay for a little while, then they moved over to. So it was originally Crete, then they moved to Croatia. That's where they are at now. And that's a nice liberty, right? So, yeah, grow. Yeah, tell me about it.
- [13:39]
Tom Sauer
I did my honeymoon in Croatia. It's beautiful.
- [13:42]
Jack Posobiec
This is, this. Wait, wait, wait. Tom, are you telling me that you took Natalie on your honeymoon because of your liberty port memories there?
- [13:51]
Tom Sauer
Yeah, actually it's a pretty good place. No, we, we were in Croatia and then we went and spent a few days in Venice. But no, honestly, I had some of the best liberty I had was actually in Israel, believe it or not, in Haifa. That was a great time. But to get back to what we were talking about is. All right, so like the Ford's able to get some repairs and the fact that they went to Croatia. Look, there's no critical repair infrastructure in Croatia. If that's the case, if that's where they are. So what's that tell you? It tells you it's like, hey, hey, these sailors have been working really hard. They need to blow off some steam. They're probably becoming a real problem for the local police. But hey, that's all right. They'll be okay. There's blowing off some steam. But here's the way I think is what's really important here.
- [14:34]
Jack Posobiec
Well, and Tom, just to put things in context for people, if I remember correctly reading that if, if the Ford stays on station, doesn't return home, it is going to hit a record for length of deployment in the post Vietnam era. It's going to be the longest deployed carrier. This is the same carrier that was out for the Venezuela operations that was parked right off the coast of Venezuela. So they've been out there for almost a full year at this point. I think they're coming up around the 10 month mark. Then in, in April they hit 11, and then I believe May is one year. So they, they've been out at, at sea for quite some time. And Tom, what can I say? Do sailors have a bit of a reputation for when they spend that much time out at sea?
- [15:16]
Tom Sauer
Yeah, I mean, sometimes they do, right? I mean, for example, whenever we pulled into Dubai, into Jabal Ali, especially when we were out to sea for a very long time, what they would have you do is they actually had like a little Liberty area, like a fenced off area that was like about, oh, 20, 30 acres that had a couple. It was really hot outside. They had food tents and food stands and benches and they Had a couple of games you could play and they had a ton of cheap beer. So what they would do is they would just let everyone blow off steam that first night just getting out of their system so they're not out in the city and then there. And then the following night they let them out into, into Dubai, which is probably a smart move on everyone's part. I think everyone else has had, they're able to keep it contained, you know, because we had been out to sea for only about like two months, like consecutively, two months continuously at sea on a seven or eight month deployment. But you know, at least kind of keep it contained right there. So I think it's good for them. Honestly, I'm a little jealous, believe it or not, as crazy as it sounds like, of a lot of the guys that are overseas. Like, I'm a little jealous. I'm wondering if they're willing to take a 45 year old former surface warfare officer, former EOD officer who's not quite as fast or as strong as he used to be. But I mean, honestly, that's a memorable deployment for these guys. They're doing the nation's work. I think we should all be incredibly proud of them and frankly happy for them. And I'm jealous of them a little bit despite the fact that, look, I know they suffered a big fire, that was a big problem. So. But still at the same time, I mean I, yeah, I'm very explain Alex,
- [16:49]
Jack Posobiec
you know, I know exactly what you mean because I feel the same way that you know, when you're not serving, even if you, you know, regardless of what your feelings are about, you know, should the United States be doing this? Should we not be doing this? Is Iran the biggest threat? And not threat that, that's all one discussion. It's a great discussion. In fact, we're going to be having discussion at the end of the show when people send their emails in 1776 human events. Com. 1776 human events. Com. But that doesn't discount the fact that when you're sitting there and you're watching it on tv, you just, you get the bug, you just, you get that bug about wanting to be out there, wanting to be conducting the operations, want it from my perspective, you know, I want to be looking at the intel feeds. I want to be right up there in the CIC figuring out what's going on, figuring out, you know, what's, what's coming our way, you know, you know, are they going to try to launch a couple of hot ones at the carrier how do we respond? All of those things. Right? You know, it's. What can I say when there's a fight going on? It's, you know, for. For. For guys that had served before, there's always a sense of, like, being on the sidelines. You know what I mean?
- [17:50]
Tom Sauer
100%. No, I absolutely do agree. And also I'd say from, you know, my EOD career, I've got a lot of friends who are currently there to, you know, clear the straits. And one thing you brought up earlier is that you're absolutely correct that to my knowledge, actually I did receive some information that not one mine, as of this morning at least, not one mine has been found. So that doesn't mean there aren't any. But, you know, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But what that also means, though, is that we probably got left of splash. Like I've said before, we actually probably did. Before they had a chance to mine anything, we took out all of their mine layers. And now, granted, I know you could throw a few mines onto a fishing boat and kick them over the side, but that's not really that effective. And everyone talks about how small the Strait of Hormuz is. It's still a lot of water to, you know, if you only threw a dozen mines in there at most. I mean, yeah, is that a threat? But I mean, where did you place them? Were they placed correctly, you know, and they've been clearing it. One thing I do know is we have been quietly searching quietly. It's not very overt. But the thing is, though, is that we have to make sure that the threat for them mining is completely neutralized. Right? It's because it's like you can't start mop on the floor when the toilet is still overflowing. Right? So you got to make sure that area is fully secure. But then also the threat is the air threat as well. And once you know, you're in a very permissive environment, so you're not worried about drones or anything like that, then you can start clearing. And to everyone who thought that, like, we didn't have a plan we didn't know we were doing is like, this is part of the plan all along. And you don't start clearing mines while there's still a threat of them laying more mines or while there's still a threat from the air as well. And look, we know that the vast majority, overwhelming majority of Iran's offensive capabilities have been totally neutralized, and now we're doing mostly cleanup. Can they get a few Potshots in the. In here and there. Yeah, they can. But, you know, by and large, the threat is nearly eliminated.
- [19:56]
Jack Posobiec
And this, of course, is. Is what the United States Navy is. Is focused on doing. And I think it's very interesting, by the way, you mentioned the mine situation, because when, you know, and it looks like JD Vance is going to be going in for the United States, leading these negotiations over in Pakistan, which would be just absolutely such a bold move for him, you know, the vice president to be able to go and do that. We know that the Turkish foreign minister, the Saudi foreign minister, the Egyptian foreign minister all met this weekend in Islamabad. Then what do we see? Right after that? Pakistani ships were able to make their way through the strait. So of course, Iran knows if they start mining that strait, that shuts down all of the shipping and all of the ability of transit back and forth. So that may be one of the main reasons that we haven't seen it yet, because that's their, basically their last leverage point. You'd mine it. You can't mine it again. It's done. It's totally done. So we will see where this comes next. Jackson Sobic, Tom Sauer at Human Events Daily.

All right, folks, we're back. Jack Sobeck, Human Events Daily. Real America's Voice. And by the way, just, just for a minute, I want to take here and give a shout out to the entire Real America's Voice team, Rob Parker, everybody out there, because what an incredible experience that we had down at cpac. Just the stage was amazing. The stage itself, I think, really sold the show. You, you saw the level of investment, you saw the level of production. Obviously, we did the super bowl halftime show with Turning Point, and this was, you know, easily on the same level. You're starting to see stuff from the quote, unquote, independent media that rivals and I would even go so far as to say surpasses what you're seeing in mainstream media. And Real America's voice is absolutely punching way, way above its weight class. And that's due to the incredible team and the incredible investment, the incredible work of the men and women of Real America's Voice. So I just want to give a shout out to all the support that we had down at cpac. It was just, it was really amazing. Folks, let me be blunt. Before the crashes of 1999 and 2008, a rare market signal appeared. Most people Ignored it. The smart money didn't. Gold and stocks were rising at the same time and that is not normal. Stocks are supposed to rise when confidence is strong. Gold rises. When confidence starts to break, they move in opposite directions until something underneath the system is off. Right now they're both breaking records again. This has only happened twice before. Major market repricing events. Does that mean it crashes tomorrow? No. But it does mean that risk may be dangerously mispriced. Gold doesn't surge because it's popular. It moves. When currency confidence weakens, debt explodes and central banks prepare quietly behind the scenes. And here's what should get your attention. Banks are buying gold at record levels right now. They're not guessing. Gold doesn't depend on earnings. It doesn't depend on credit markets. It doesn't depend on political promises. No, stocks do. If you have a savings or retirement account, you don't get a do over. This is about protection, not speculation.

All right, back in here with Tom Sauer. We're going through, talking about, you know, sort of what, it's what we're seeing the United States Navy conducting the straight of Hormuz, the opening. Tom. So we're looking at these traffic separation schemes. We're looking at the straight of Hormuz. It's been obviously, I'll say it's been a generation since we've had a strait of Hormuz crisis, but certainly isn't the first time it's happened. We had the ran Iraq war back in the 1980s, the Tanker Wars. We had the 1979 revolution. So this isn't the first time that we've seen a strait of Hormuz crisis, but certainly in recent years. What would you say that the Navy has learned and just assuming, right. That these talks go well, we're at the one month mark. What would you say the Navy has learned coming up through this one month of these operations?
- [24:33]
Tom Sauer
That's a good question, Jack. I would say the one thing that there really is like the unity of command. I think that's one thing that's really important here because look, this is not strictly a Navy fight. Yes, the Navy is a very important element of this. And obviously US Central Command led by Admiral Brad Cooper, who is Phenomenal. You know, there's a big naval emphasis to this, but what it really comes down to is one clearing that strait, which again, like I was saying earlier before the break, that it appears that it might not have been mined or if it were mined, if it was mined, it's not in any significant fashion, which by the way, my Navy EOD friends who are there and even my little brother who is stationed overseas but works that same problem, is not happy about that because they really wanted to go out and clear mines. And the fact that they're not, that looks like they're not going to have to. They're a little disappointed about that. But I'd say as far as lessons learned, here's something that's really important is it seems like now the there is a bigger threat from drones and ballistic missiles in the strait than there are from naval mines. Now, primarily that is because we got left of splash. We took out all their minelane capabilities before they started mining. So I think that's a big lesson learned and that's something that all of warfare. I mean, I still work with a lot of friends who are in Defense Department who are defense companies who make, you know, weapons and military equipment. I work with a lot of these guys. And that is something that is probably one of the biggest overall threats, not unique to the Navy. It's also with the army and the Marines, everyone is counter drone and, and also offensive drone capability. But also keep in mind those Shahed drones were very effective for, you know, when they had them. They're, they're actually quite effective for, especially relative to their cost. And you know, they're so good that we reverse engineered and made them even better and we shot them right back at them, which I think was brilliant. So. But that's something I think.
- [26:40]
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, Tom. And no, you're exactly right. I couldn't agree more. And we're also seeing, just in a couple minutes we have left, we're also seeing these questions. You know, we talked about the relief of the Ford. You know, also talking about these questions of replenishment. Tomahawks air interceptors, Thaad missile systems, Patriot missile systems, these. You mentioned the cheapness of the Iranian drones. This is something where they want to match us. If we go dollar for dollar every time we launch an interceptor, we're spending millions of dollars and for them it's just a couple thousand bucks.
- [27:16]
Tom Sauer
Yeah, that's, that's so true. And that also, that is not something that is unique right now just to what we're dealing with in The Middle East. So, for example, this across the board. And that's something that I'm, I'm working with some folks over at the Office of Strategic Capital to work on, you know, and some other friends when it comes to re industrialization because we are so good at making exquisite systems. You know, an SM2, it's like what, 2 million bucks to take out a $20,000 drone? That's not a great use of resources. And so we're coming up with other technology. But what's really important about that is we have to be able to scale even for our conventional equipment, conventional munitions, everything like that. Right. I had President Trump clap back at me on Truth Social a few weeks ago when I highlighted the fact that if we got into a shooting war with China, we'd run out of a lot of our munitions in like seven or eight days. And you know, the thing is, we
- [28:09]
Jack Posobiec (supporter/commentator)
still do not like that.
- [28:10]
Jack Posobiec
Tom, he didn't like it saying that very much.
- [28:13]
Tom Sauer
Did not like that. I know, I was. That was pretty funny. It was like, oh, oh, crap. So it was like two afters. I was on Fox with Laura Ingram, I mentioned it with Tim Sheehy and then two hours later that Truth post. So that was a surprise. But the thing is though is here's something that's crazy to think about. He is when for our 155 millimeter shells, for standard artillery shells, right. We went through 10 years of production in 10 weeks. Right.
- [28:42]
Jack Posobiec
So we have to, we got to run. Let me get you back on. I'd love to get into more of that. Go give them a follow up, folks. Thomas B. Sauer on X and just a wealth of knowledge on all things United States Navy. Right back, Human Events Daily.

Jack Posobiec
All right, folks, Jack Posobec here, Human Events Daily. We are right back. And of course we're covering all things international, but we got to bring it back home too. And one of the things I have to tell you about, folks, is that it's very unfortunate, but one in three people we know will face a battle with cancer in their lives. And most will never see it coming. Well, Dr. Kelly victory over at the wellness company. She did everything right. She exercised, she ate clean, she avoided processed foods and she had zero symptoms when she went in for just a routine mammogram in July of 2023. Yet she walked out with an aggressive cancer diagnosis that could have been fatal if found later. It revealed a hard truth. Even healthy people get cancer. And it exposed a bigger issue. Most modern medicine is reactive. It's not preventative. You wait for a scare until you start to care. Every day our bodies are under constant pressure from stress, toxins, inflammation, immune strain. That damage builds quietly year after year until disease starts to form. Dr. Victory asked a different question. What can we do daily to support the body before something goes wrong? Well, that led her to formulate shield. SHIELD is a two part natural system designed to support immune balance, antioxidant defense and cellular health. Exactly the systems you want. Strong. To live a long, healthy life. In the morning, you drink the high dose nutraceutical cocoa mix. Then you take the food. Take the soft gels with ingredients like medicinal mushrooms, turmeric, green tea, olive leaf, berberine, and black cumin seed oil. SHIELD gives your body the tools it needs to keep cells healthy. How do you get it? It's really simple. You head on over to TWC Health POSO and use promo code POSO to get 10% off plus free shipping for US residents. Again, that's TWC Health slash POSO. All right, folks, we had just over the weekend these, these no Kings protests and these things. Look, people want to laugh at them, people want to take them not seriously, but they are very serious. And this is what the left is using to gin up their operations, their ground operations for what, the 2026 midterms. And play clip from the Philadelphia iteration of no Kings Now.

Long live the intifada. Death to the Zionist entity. Death to America. And death today. It's Zimmerman.

Frankie Scales
So again, still following me?
- [32:01]
Jack Posobiec
All right, well, that was Surge media with Frankie Scales. Frankie joins us now. What's going on, man?
- [32:07]
Frankie Scales
Nothing much. Thank you for having me on, Jack.
- [32:10]
Jack Posobiec
So tell us what it was like being down there. You got the death to America. You got death to Israel. Again, this is the red green alliance that I've talked about for a long time. We're seeing it on the streets here. It's, it's the supporters of Hamas plus the anti Israel plus the, the far left. It's, it's, it's this linkage mean, did they seem to operate inseparably? What's your sense?
- [32:36]
Frankie Scales
So it was very concerning being on the ground listening to what they were saying. And for one, I was pushed, I was spit on. You know, I was blocked. They followed me around because they didn't want me recording what they were saying in those moments because they knew that I was going to report it, honestly. So it was very alarming to see and quite uncomfortable being around those people.
- [33:00]
Jack Posobiec
And when. When you're talking about the no kings, right, we get into this regular alliance idea, and of course, the flags are very, you know, very noticeable. But when it comes to the actual individuals themselves, would you say it's more. Is it more about the war? Is it more about Iran, Israel, or did you see more when it came to ice? Was it 50, 50? What was sort of the breakdown there?
- [33:22]
Frankie Scales
Okay. I would say the two main issues were the war in Iran and. And ice. Now, many people mentioned the war in Iran, and I find it quite ironic that they are worried about the war in Iran while they're protesting, quote, unquote, authoritarianism, because right now we're bombing a dictator who killed over 30,000 protesters in Iran. These people are turning a blind eye to that and essentially supporting the Islamic regime. And again, it's that. It's that coalition between leftists, communists, and Islamists. Islamists. And we're seeing that play out. And, you know, just on Sunday, I was at an Iranian demonstration where they were supporting and thanking the US for bombing the Islamic regime because their people have been massacred. And they were waving American flags.
- [34:16]
Jack Posobiec
Well, you know, funny enough, we saw the same thing. I was down cpac, and we saw the exact same thing where you had a lot of Iranian Americans. I don't know exactly if they were born there or born here. But, you know, clearly people of Iranian descent, Persian descent, that were coming to CPAC with U.S. flags, you know, U.S. flags with the original flag of Iran, which had the Persian flag, the flag of the Shah, they were there. The son of the Shah, Reza Pavlani, spoke as well. So you saw a pretty big contingent of that as well. And so you're seeing this on the ground. But ultimately, my take has always been that, you know, it's not so much that they, quote, unquote, don't want kings or that they. They do want kings. They clearly support kings. These are the same people, by the way, that were all for the lockdowns. They were for the forced jabs. They were for the government coming in and defining everything. They stand for centralized government all the time. They have no problem with authority. What they have a problem with is authority that is not theirs. They want to be in total control. They don't want anyone on our side in Control. That's what's really going on here.
- [35:22]
Frankie Scales
I totally agree. And you look at the fact is that Trump won the popular vote and he also won the Electoral College. So the people did vote for Trump. He is not a king. He has to go to Congress to pass legislation. He talks about Congress a lot. So it's very evident that he is acting as a president, not a king. And they're really selling a, you know, a fiction at these no kings protests. It's not actually real.
- [35:50]
Jack Posobiec
Well, and ultimately, you know, talking about the phrase no kings itself is the phrase no kings. And this is something that if you, if anyone wants to purchase the book on humans, the Secret History of Communist Revolutions and How to Crush Them, New York Times bestseller, that you would learn that the phrase no kings comes from the longer phrase in French, no kings, no lords. And in fact, it was one of the main slogans of the French Revolution, the Jacobins, which was referred to as the Red Terror, which resulted not only. It started with massive street protests like we're seeing now, which became violent, which became armed, which led to uprisings, and then it led to what? Oh, that's right, executions. The executions with the guillotine of anyone who was associated with the royalty, anyone who's associated with what they called the Anchin regime, the ancient regime, the former government, and up to and including, by the way, Catholic nuns, the nuns of Avignon were then sent and paraded through the streets of Paris when they were sent up as well. Because it starts with no kings, then it goes to no lords, Then all of a sudden you hear no priests, then it's no nuns. I mean, they go all the way down these. These people smashed the Notre Dame back then. So I don't even know, though, if the average. And I'm sure, by the way, that the average person who just shows up to a no kings protest has no idea the extreme radical background of that phrase.
- [37:12]
Frankie Scales
Yes. And you see a lot of times they dress up in costumes and inflatable costumes, and they do that to make it seem like a festival, to make it seem innocent. But when you look deeper, a lot of the times the people in the costumes are blowing bubbles with one arm and they're holding a rock that they're going to throw at an ice agent's vehicle in the other. These are very violent people, and many of them are radicalized. And you're seeing it now, all the people who were protesting for Palestine, they said they were protesting for human rights. They don't care about the human rights of Iranians who were getting massacred by the Islamic regime. Because it was never about human rights. It's always been about hating the west and hating the United States of America.
- [37:57]
Jack Posobiec
And ultimately it's about hating civilization. Tear down civilization. Tear down the status quo. Tear down everything that we have. Tear down the police. Tear down all of it. That's exactly it. Frankie Scales. Where can people go to follow you, man?

Jack Posobiec
All right, go give them a follow, folks. One of the hardest working men out there today. I want to go live. We just put this up in the box. And I'm told that there are. And, guys, if we can get the audio up, this would be big. That as we're speaking, breaking news that there are sirens now emitting over Tel Aviv. And air raid sirens coming up over Tel Aviv. I'm tracking now, I'm trying to track now whether or not anything is hitting or if there's any reporting going on, but the team just told me that this happened literally as we're speaking. So I haven't even had a moment to understand what we're seeing yet, what we're hearing. Okay, so an Iranian missile just struck again. Reports, reports, reports just struck in Tel Aviv with air alerts expected for the next five minutes. Now, was this. I can't tell if this was from Iran or if this was from the Hezbollah or whether it was the Houthis again. But we're getting reports that there was a missile strike in Tel Aviv just moments ago. And I'm seeing some video come out. I'm just tracking online here to see what it seems have happened. Some reports saying potentially two rounds of ballistic missiles, an escalating attack. Trey Yings is there. Good friend, former colleague. We'll be right back. Human Events Daily.

Tom Sauer
Jack Posobic Appreciation Hour. I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Posobic. And that is, I'm being honest.
- [40:16]
Jack Posobiec
Foreign. Folks, Jacksonville. We're back live here. Human Events Daily. We had that live report from Tel Aviv, Trey. Youngsters on the ground there reports two rounds of Iranian ballistic missiles targeting Tel Aviv this hour. Working on seeing if we can find any actual footage of those strikes. And I'm seeing some stuff online. Of course, we need to. We need to verify this before we can get it to you. Guys. So that's what we're seeing, that's what we're hearing. Want to make sure there's a lot of, a lot of AI stuff floating around out there these days. And of course we want to make sure that if we get something to you, that it is of course going to be the real deal. So while we check into that, we're also going to hold, hold that live shot up in the corner right there because if anything else happens, I want to cut immediately to that. Now, I promised everyone that we would go to emails and my gosh, you guys just sent in an absolute talk about a missile barrage. You guys barraged us with your emails today. So I want to get through as many of them or at least the best ones I can. We're here at the one month mark. So the human events question of the day. What is your take on the military operation in Iran at the one month mark? And I said, please include your age. And the email is 1776@Human Events.com 1776 Human Events.com. and even if we don't get a chance to get to it on air, we might be able to get up tomorrow. And certainly we do read just about every single. No, we read everyone. We actually read everyone. So this one comes in from Chuck. He says, cannot dispute the fact that the US and Israel have clearly won this operation. No contest. However, if there is a regime change that excludes the Ayatollahs and basically reserve returns Iran to pre1979, it will have been a loss. We can't continue bombing campaigns every two years wasting tax dollars. Annihilate the Muslim occupation once and for all. All right, as I go through these, I do want to actually, I didn't see an age in there. I do want to get the ages. So here you go. This from Kyle, who's 26. I am a male conservative, a devout Christian. I heavily support what we've done in Iran in pursuit of preventing them obtaining nuclear weapons, which they surely would have used on Israel the first chance they got. However, I was under the impression this would be a quick operation. Get in, eliminate the threat, and get out. At this stage, the political and economic impacts are starting to mount. Diesel prices are sky high at the start of the farm season, negatively impacting farmers and truckers, so critical to the backbone of our nation and hurting the wallet of the American people. Including the voter base that handled DJ handed DJT and the GOP a mandate. Public opinion among independents and centrist conservatives has grown increasingly negative, especially among younger voters, I have growing concern that this war is going to accomplish little more than what it has so far, while further halting our likelihood of success in the midterms. We cannot afford to hand majority control back to the Democrats. I wish we could wrap this up quickly and decisively so that we can reallocate our focus back to defeating the liberal progressive agenda in the midterm elections. This one from from goat doctor, who is 29 years old from Indiana. Support the war in Iran. It's very simple. Any country that chants death to America should not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. I wish Trump would take it a step further and completely destroy all Iranian infrastructure. I'm a lifelong Catholic and Trump supporter since 2015. Also says, I want America to dominate the globe militarily, especially our heavy, our hemisphere. Bring back manufacturing. I don't want unlimited H1B Indians or an alliance with Muslims essentially. I disagree with libertarians on every issue. That's Goat doctor. Goat doctor. This one from no, no email. All right, this one here we go. From Sharon, age 30, says, Finish him off. Zach, 23. This war is the stupidest thing ever. It is a complete betrayal and flip flop of the no new wars policy. It's a trap that will last months, if not years. Todd 78. A necessary step for the gospel to be presented before the Rapture. God bless Jack. God bless you too. Oh, excuse me, Ted. That's Ted, not Todd. God bless Ted. This one. Oh, goodness. This is. This is long from kelsey. She is 34. I'm gonna try to truncate this a little bit because we only have a little. A couple more minutes left. But she said, I mean she's. You guys send in these great emails and I do appreciate that, I really do. And I'm going to read all of them when I get off air. So she says. I think the entire Iran situation is extremely confusing and conserving concerning since there has never been a clear objective. They said the uranium was destroyed. Now they're saying they'll have nuclear bombs in two weeks. I voted for Trump, but I wouldn't say I'm a huge supporter. I'm deeply troubled by the fact that doesn't seem to be clear reporting on the ground. We've heard many of our soldiers have been injured. How many have been injured? We hear we're negotiating, but Iran is saying we're not. They seem to be. They do not seem to be deterred in the slightest. Information is scarce and seems to be censored. This is troubling. Where are the reporters on the ground? I'm deeply concerned with our relationship with Naito. I'm a conservative. I love our country. I've always supported our soldiers as my brother was in the army and did a tour in Afghanistan. He was fortunate enough to be over there when things had calmed down. And this is a great question. These are great questions. These are great comments that everyone's putting in. So thank you Kelsey. Thank you Dorian Age 38 thoughts? Hate this war. Feel like it is destroying MAGA and the coalition that was built. If he doesn't pivot fast, the Dems will win the House for the next four years. Well, it's actually a two year term but Walter 56 through and through conservative my whole life, elephant GOP tattoo and my daughter's middle name is Reagan. I'm a three time Trump voter from the People's Republic of Massachusetts. My conservative beliefs are seldom questioned. That being said, I think this is the worst thing Trump has done. I guess you could argue it was justified, but I do not think it was necessary. I supported his bombing of the nuclear facilities, but not this. It is hurting the very people that Trump has fought for, the working and middle classes. I'm in Florida now and gas is $4 a gallon. This hurts us. I would not doubt that Iran wants this to be protracted despite the oil prices. When a barrel of oil hits $150, this economy will tank. Don't feel this was America First. Very disappointing. So that's that's Walter originally from Massachusetts, now in Florida is from Patty. She is she writes I am a 70 year old, 78 year old boomer grandma. I voted for Trump three times and I see this as not what he promised in his campaign. I'm feel fearful for our nation's Future. I am Maga but I want to know who else is Micah43 not happy at all. We need to finish the I will be extremely upset if we do not finish the job first time. Trump has not been true to his word and it's a big promise. We're going to lose the House and Senate in 2028. AG43 I voted for Trump and I want my vote back. This one is too long. I just, I don't have time to get to that right there. Charlie38 writes in that this is the most infuriating one to two months that I can remember from our side. I'm a two time Trump voter life wrong Republican, raised on Rush Limbaugh and Fox News but I'm completely at my wit's End. I think this is the opposite of what I voted for. This one is in from Nick and I'm not seeing an age here, but it says, I really enjoyed your work over the years, especially the annual Christmas specials you do. Chronicles the revolution. The China Files chronicles of regime change. Thank you very much, Nick. I appreciate that. We work really hard on them. And the Human Events Daily team is unmatched when it comes to the Christmas break specials. I think the Iran war is an unnecessary side quest. It has the potential to wreck the Trump presidency and possibly 2028. We need to focus on mass deportations, trade deals and cracking down on the left. If we want to use the US Military, we should use it on threats in our hemisphere, namely the Mexican drug cartels. This one from Mary. All right, Mary's on board. She says, I agree with Trump's Iran policy. All other presidents were too cowardly to do this. We're 80% finished and the last 20% is always the hardest. We're only one month into this exquisite conflict. Finish the job, President Trump. Terry65. I am disgusted by this war. Been Republican many years. Voted Trump three times. I'm going independent but will likely never vote again. I feel like it's useless. This one from Nick, he says doesn't have his age, but he says, I was a die hard war room watcher until this conflict. I'm a married father of five, a Christian, a vet, a 22 year old first responder. If Trump continues this, I'm done voting, period. This feels like a straight con job. This one from Elizabeth, she is in her 50s. Long, long email. No one understands why we're in this war. War should be a last resort, not a first thing. Oh, I'm hearing my hearing the audio. Gosh, you guys. So much of the emails, so many, so much that came in. We'll have to do an entire email show at some point. A lot of, lot of questions out there, a lot of emotions and it's understandable. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
