This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare. A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran. This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec. Christ is true. 70-year-old man was arrested after Meridian police say he hit another man with his car during today's demonstrations at the Tesla dealership in Meridian. Just

A couple of minutes ago, the judge told the courtroom that, yes, Marine Le Pen will not be able to run in the next election. She's ineligible. President Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2nd as Liberation Day, the day he's set to announce reciprocal tariffs. This weekend, the president said all countries will be impacted. And these new tariffs come as the administration is also trying to put increased pressure on

automakers to make their vehicles in the U.S. Just hours ago, President Trump called me to tell me he is, quote,

off with Russia's President Putin and threatened to impose secondary tariffs on Russia's oil. Quote, if Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia's fault, which it might not be, but if I think it was Russia's fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on all oil coming out of Russia. Zelensky, by the way, I see he's trying to back out of the rare earth deal. And if

If he does that, he's got some problems. Big, big problems. Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. We are back in Washington, D.C. Today is March 31st, 2025. Anno Domini. Folks, we've got to look at this massive story. The New York Times has admitted it. And we really have to question why this story is coming out. It's the secret history of the U.S. involvement in the Ukraine war.

And in fact, it's worse. It's even worse than we could have possibly predicted. Because you see, here's what's going on.

Well, we were told all along, unprovoked war, unprovoked war, unprovoked war. But as it turns out, the U.S. military has not only been involved prior to the Ukraine war, but even during the Ukraine war. And there's this huge piece out now in the New York Times. This is actually a huge, it's kind of a CYA piece, because the big piece of this is that this war is coming to an end.

It did not go the way that the globalists wanted. It did not go the way that the neoliberals wanted. Russia looks like they're going to be getting these provinces. And so all of the things that were said at the beginning were lies, as were called out by us here on Human Events Daily to the posse and others.

And so this is pre-shaping the legacy of the Ukraine war to say, oh, it wasn't our fault. See, we tried to help, but it was Zelensky's fault. It was Illusioni's fault, the Ukrainians' fault. They just didn't listen. They didn't take our advice. So what's come out in the New York Times today, this massive story, I don't even know, 10,000 words.

10,000 word story about how the U.S. military, the U.S. intelligence services, and the U.S. government have been directing the Ukraine war from the very start, supplying the coordinates of Russian forces on Russian soil from a U.S. base in Wiesbaden, Germany. So a U.S. base in Germany, that means U.S. generals, U.S. soldiers,

U.S. officials, U.S. officers were giving the targets to the Ukrainians on Russian soil, and then the Russians were the ones who were the recipient of the strikes. That's way more than the material support that we knew that was publicly going on, but it's exactly what we told you. In fact, there's even one point where they talk about how General Milley was specifically involved in planning operations for the Ukrainian military.

But of course, it was just advising. What did we even find out? That yes, of course, there were U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine the entire time. U.S. troops were on the ground in Kiev as well as in forward positions.

That's why this thing has gone so far. That's why I've been hearing about all of this. And that's why the negotiations currently are between the United States, Russia and Ukraine, because the U.S. role in this is larger than anyone has officially confirmed up until this point. We'll be right back. Human Events Daily. America first truly means welcome to the second American revolution.

All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live, Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C. Want to bring in also the third hour of the Charlie Kirk Show on the Salem Radio Network. And that audience, as well as the audience on Real America's Voice, as well as all the folks on Rumble and Getter and all the other live streams. I love being in the chats when I can get in there, guys. Keep up the great work.

Folks, Trump is fully in the process of draining the swamp, but the uncertainty for many is will he expose the entire pandemic?

i want to bring in now lieutenant colonel tony schaefer to break down what's been going on here in this new york times story tony when i look at this story you know it's it's so long at least 10 000 words going through all of this the u.s military and the u.s government were in fact directly involved every single step of the way they were running this war hand in hand with the ukrainians

What does it mean that this story is coming out? And it's interesting, by the way, how even though they put it out, the mainstream media is totally ignoring it. Yeah, ignoring it is because people like you and me and some of the folks over at my network have said –

This is the fact that the United States has been engaged in this proxy war for years. And they don't like the fact that, I don't know, I don't think we're alternative media. We are the media now. They don't like the fact that the mainstream media got it all wrong because they were taking talking points, not actually seeking facts. And so the fact findings ended and they don't want to be hit in the face with the facts, Jack. And the fact is,

We, the United States, engaged both in the revolution, the Maidan revolution in 2014, Victoria Nuland and USAID, which is now deceased, with CIA funded, all of those shenanigans. And so what has happened now, and I think this is why they're publishing it, Donald Trump

is going to shut it all down one way or another. Marco Rubio confirmed about three weeks ago, this is a quote unquote proxy war with Russia. It is. And last time I checked, we weren't asked about this. We, the American people, weren't asked, do we want to go back to war with Russia? So ask yourself, Jack, who would have pushed for us to be the world policeman and engage in this? Well, it's the World Economic Forum, it's Soros,

and the Europeans. They wanted Ukraine for their own purposes to be part of the EU utopian, whatever you want to call whatever they're doing right now with suppressing democracy and trying to get people to not talk about certain things.

they wanted Ukraine to become part of the EU. That's what this is all about. And that means the resources, gas and oil and everything else becomes part of the EU. And they wanted to dismantle Russia. So we didn't get to vote on it. We, the United States and American people, had voted on it. This was all about the progressive left,

via the Democrats using our military and our intelligence community as an extension of their policies which support the World Economic Forum and the EU. So that's why we're here. Right now, they're about to be found out behind the curtain. And President Trump, I think, is going to make it abundantly clear who caused all of this. Well, that's really what it comes down to. And we're talking about the pre-shaped, this is a pre-shaped narrative. So the

So the narrative you get through all of this is the U.S. was there. The intel community was there. We did what we had to do. We helped them every step of the way, but they just wouldn't listen. And by the way, what's really interesting, Tony, and I know you'll appreciate this because you and I talked about this in real time two years ago in 2023, going into that summer counteroffensive situation.

Yeah, we said that idea. This isn't going to go well. Apparently there in real time, we were calling this while the rest of the media said, oh, this is a great this is genius. And apparently there was a huge breakdown where even General Milley was telling the Ukrainians, yeah, guys, don't do this. The Russians are dug in over in these positions. This is a really bad move.

And it's actually kind of funny because it says that they hung up on General Milley on the call and then he kept trying to call them back and they wouldn't answer. Well, you know, Mark is, I think, is, by the way, just on a personal note, you and I were in the military.

There's no senior officer I know that looks better in high heels than Mark Milley. Oh, no. He's the best. He's the best. Anyway, but I digress. But no, look, I know Mark Milley. I know Lloyd Austin.

You could not pick two more incompetent people, and then you add Tony Blinken? You know, his college nickname was Spanky Banana. Did you know that because he was in a band? It could be true. I don't know if that's true, but it could be. Anyway, and then, of course, Jake Sullivan.

These people could not lead a high school debating team, let alone trying to use the resources of the greatest republic on the planet. This was doomed from day one. And Jack, you and I suffered the barbs and arrows, the outrageous barbs and arrows of fortune to be right about this ahead of time, way ahead of time, and people didn't like it. So it is what it is. We're right. They're wrong. End of story.

i have a uh i have a good buddy of mine he he likes to say sometimes that it's uh it's better to be right late than wrong early uh because yeah you're right early everybody comes out everybody comes down at you you know comes hardly and that's what they did but look you know say we got a cassandra complex or whatever it is look i'm gonna call it like it is and you know if people want to deny reality they can try for as much as they can but reality is reality

And the U.S. has been far more involved in the Ukraine war than anyone has ever let on. Now it's starting to publicly come out. And there are, by the way, these are there are key targeting and and, you know, talking about not only, by the way, the attacks in the Black Sea. So the sinking of the Moskva, this huge cruiser coordinating drone swarms, even the attacks in Russia itself, providing those attacks.

I mean, Tony, it's actually kind of a testament to the fact that Russia didn't declare the U.S. to be a party to this war when clearly we were. Yeah, they figured it out. They knew. And I think the restraint of Putin is notable. And by the way, I think Putin's had to fight his own extreme pro-war guys to hold him back. And let me be clear on this. I have said on your show and other networks that

Putin's a thug. I have no love for Putin. With that said, he is the leader of Russia, whether you like it or not.

And he has been, by all accounts now, especially with the New York Times admitting it, at war with us. The United States has been at war with him, whether he wanted to or not, wanted to admit it or not. And now we're forced to kind of come to terms with that. And that's why President Trump is negotiating directly with the Russians. This is going back to the 80s, back to Gorbachev and Reagan.

And it's the way it's going to have to be resolved. And by the way, Zelensky is an actor, a bad one at that. And I think he will not survive this transition from war to peace because he is so adamant. He is such a puppet of the EU, of UK and NATO. He will not. That's why he's so far on their team.

trying to essentially do everything he can to stop the peace process from happening. I think we're going to see a framework soon. I don't think Zelensky makes it through to the end. Wow, that's actually a big, huge prediction there from Tony Schaefer. But you know what? He's been right so far, folks. Stay tuned. We'll come right back with more on this, the secret history of the U.S. involvement in the Ukraine war. Today, you know, they talk about influences. These are influences.

And they're friends of mine, Jack Posobiec. Where's Jack? Jack, he's done a great job. All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back. Human Events Daily. Look at those cherry blossoms. Man, that is peak bloom, Washington, D.C. Check it out. We did this weekend, which was a horrible, horrible idea. It was just packed. It was really, really too many people. We got some nice pictures, so hopefully that makes it work.

There is a dirty little secret in the mobile phone industry that the major phone carriers don't want you to know about. Did you know that the big three mobile companies own all the towers in the United States? So if that's the case, then what's the difference between the carriers? Well, there's only one which actually lives by the same values as you, and only one which allows you to choose the best network for you. That's Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and the only one that allows you access to all three networks.

So keep your phone, keep your number, and now keep your values too. With Patriot Mobile, you know that none of your money is going to the woke left, DEI, or causes that have put America last.

Make the switch today and go to patriotmobile.com slash poso or call 972-PATRIOT. I want to get back here with Tony Schaefer. So, Tony, this thing is winding down. The whole deal is coming down, but what's...

So is that the reason we're calling it pre-shaping the narrative? Do you agree with my take there that that's what this New York Times piece, which again, the sources of this are all intelligence officials, all generals on the U.S. side, some on the Ukraine side as well. And I guess the real question that they're going to be asking is who lost Ukraine? Well, the Biden administration and the Obama administration, it was never going to be one. This was all about creating havoc and chaos, Jack.

And these aspirations they had to bring Ukraine into the EU was totally insane. They had set off on a false set of assumptions, command assumptions, which were completely incorrect, not supported by facts. And I don't know how they fail to recognize Russia doesn't give things up. There's a book I read as a kid called The Russians by, I think it was Frederick Smith,

And the lesson, the key, and the book's about that. The key lesson is what the Russians are very consistent. What's ours is ours. What's yours is negotiable. And they will do whatever they can to hang on to what they have. And this was the final point. In 2009, Putin said, hey, no more NATO moving east.

It was very clear, and yet NATO kept coming. So this whole thing was preventable as well as I think predicted by many. So where does that leave us? That leaves us with the special military operation. The Russians are engaged at this very moment in about eight sectors.

of Conblatt, the four provinces, whatever you call them, the areas where they're engaged, plus Kursk. And out of these eight, they're winning. They've taken up about 80% of the oblasts that they're seeking, of the four, and they're winning in Kursk about the same amount. So if they chose their mind to it, they could be done with this militarily within two months.

And that's they're already planning for an offensive. So if we do nothing more, which we don't plan to do, all the weapons that are on the way to Ukraine, whatever military personnel is still there, which I would predict at this point, very few, was all from the Obama administration. The Trump folks have pulled out. They're going to continue to pull out. So it's all on the fact that Obama and Biden set off on this completely different

insane mission. And I said on your show back when the invasion first started, the numbers were never there. There is no way Russia would ever lose this based on the fact that they have more people and more material and more political will than Ukraine. And here we are all these years later. You know, it's it's

I would say it was crazy. I would say it was awful if it wasn't typical because this has become typical in Washington, D.C. It's become typical for the course of things over the last 14, 15 years for those of us who have been paying attention. Tony Schaefer, Lieutenant Colonel, where can people go to follow you and get more access to everything that you're doing?

Yeah, ProjectSentinel.com as well as XTSpooky. So, Jack, I always enjoy our conversations. Thanks for having me. And I'm glad we were right about all this, despite the fallout. All right, there he is, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer. Follow him to find out what's going to be happening tomorrow and the next day and a year from then and even a year from then. We'll be right back here, Human Events Daily, as the day continues. And Jack, where's Jack? Where's Jack?

But speaking of human events, I wanted to bring on the human events opinion editor himself, Kenny Cody here to the program. What's up, Kenny? Hey, Jack. How are you doing brother? So Kenny,

This new piece you've got up called The Brutal Americans, and you're playing off of a piece that Ann Applebaum wrote in The Atlantic last week, in the midst, by the way, or a piece I would say that was going viral in the wake of Signalgate all last week, when you were saying that...

brutal americans that this is a phrase by the way not only that should we embrace but we should embrace as a badge of honor and look you've got president trump coming out last night saying that not only are the tariffs going tomorrow or i should say a wednesday for uh a few select countries it's going to be the entire world so frame it for me brother brutal americans versus the world

Yeah, I mean I think that the left, the more they try to make us look evil and the more they try to make us look like we're these uncaring beings, the cooler they make us look. I mean I think that this attitude is exactly what people in America want the MAGA movement to be. We want to be these fighters, these people that are going against cultural Marxism, progressivism, and are going against this European view of the world.

Formerly under the Bush administration, under the Obama administration, we were always these neocons, neoliberals that were kowtowing to a global government or kowtowing to a globalist movement. And I think now that we have this America first concentration, we're able to be brutal Americans because we're America first. Europeans should view us as brutal, as tough negotiators, as people who think that we are the intimidators.

We are people that, you know, are going to dictate policy. We're not going to be ran over by foreign policy that's going to, you know, go off the backs of American workers and crush on the backs of American workers. We're going to put the American worker first, not corporations that are overseas, not corporations that are in our own country trying to dictate our own economic policy, but we're going to be putting the workers first. And I think through these reciprocal tariffs, I think for this, you know,

trade war that we're seeing going on in America and with foreign countries like Canada and Mexico and others, I think you're finally seeing the right kind of policy that is putting American citizens before anything else. And that's what brutal means to the Europeans. Ann Applebaum wrote this piece

basically about her European travels, like we've changed the personality. We used to be so caring and so charitable, and now we're not. That's not it. It's not that we're not being nice to these people. We're not going to be run over anymore. We're not going to be kowtow to the EU. We're not going to kowtow to the United Nations, and we're certainly not going to kowtow to the presidents or prime ministers of countries that could care less about us and give no benefit to us. So all brutal American means is brutally honest and brutally reliant and loyal to

to the American people and we're gonna fight these battles brutally. - And that really is it. And it's going to, by the way, and some of that pain, I understand, it's going to be through the economy. And let's be clear, let's be clear.

This is going to be one of those things where you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. And I see the Daily Mail is coming out there. Senator Rand Paul has come out in opposition to the tariffs. A number of other people have come out against the tariffs on the MAGA side of the aisle. And understand, OK, understand that we and what President Trump is doing, what we're talking about that we support through human events, it's this idea of restructuring the global order. We're

where, yes, it's not going to be GDP first. It's actually going to be people first. And the people that we're putting first are the American people and the American worker. Kenny, you're writing right there in Appalachia. Talk to me about how the global economy has devastated that area.

I mean, it 100% has. I mean, factories and the working class is the backbone of Appalachia. It's the backbone of Cock County, where I live. It's the backbone of the First Congressional District of Tennessee. We rely on workers, factory workers, those that are in trade, to have the backbone here. And for far too long, these foreign countries that abused the imports, have taken control and made these companies fail economically during the 2008 crisis. And throughout the last 10 or 12 years,

It's not the companies that are, you know, rely on American cities that are affected the most. You know, American cities can recycle workers. They can hire anybody. They can say, if this person's not doing the work or if they're not happy with their work, they're getting paid. We can bring in migrants. We can bring in, you know, anybody else from the other cities. We can, you know, drain from another city and have people come in from a mobility rate standpoint, come in and work. In rural Appalachia, these jobs are what makes our economy. They are what runs small towns.

And when you have countries and corporations overseas that are taking advantage of these small towns in America, such as those in Appalachia and small towns in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, it can drain these communities. It can drain these economies. Not only are these people's pockets emptying, these towns and these states and these regions are…

are being depleted economically because we don't have the same opportunity because we are kowtowing to foreign nations and to depleting these American workers for us. Look, nobody's saying that these corporations that employ these American workers, we need to let them run roughshod over us, but we need to be prioritizing employing Americans, employing those from the region that build the backbone and build the back that these regions are based upon.

and allow that economy to thrive. Because if we don't allow our local economies to thrive in these small towns like the one that I live in, America itself is going to vanish. And we have to be able to prioritize the people that literally elected this president, the working class in this country,

the ones that elected Donald Trump to two non-consecutive terms and have deflated chains throughout congressional districts, throughout Senate races, and legislative races throughout the country. So we have to be able to put the American worker first. I put the auto industry, those that are working in the auto industry, those who work in metal, steel, whatever else in the working class, put those workers first before we put corporations in foreign countries first. That's what these tariffs are going to be able to be doing and putting us first in trade negotiations.

And look, this is going to be a fight. It's going to be a brutal fight, and it's going to take brutal Americans to do this. You know, President Trump, he's also talking... People have said, whoa, whoa, whoa, this means car prices are going up. This means... And by the way, even American cars...

Because a lot of the auto parts are coming from overseas as well. They're going to get hit by tariffs. So you might see American cars go up, I think 2% was the number that I saw. But President Trump has come out and says, guess what? Your interest rates can be deductible if you buy an American car. I love, by the way, when President Trump also said that

It's typically interest rates or something that, or deductibles or something that the rich usually has, these write-offs, the idea that you can write off something that's something that the average working class person doesn't usually deal with, especially if they're not running their own company or have an S Corp, an LLC or something like that. And look, it's as simple as this. It really is as simple as this. The greatest generation, the silent generation, they didn't have three cars in their garage, they had one car and they drove that car their whole lives and it worked. They got it fixed.

they got it repaired it worked they didn't upgrade their tv at costco every year they had one tv or one radio and then one tv and it worked so is there going to be a pain you bet is it going to be at the cost of your convenience at first but it has to hurt first if it's going to heal and that's what it's all about that's what's about when it comes to actually reworking the global system and secretary bessen came here on human events

last week, and he said this. The American dream is not about cheap baubles from overseas, is it, Kenny Cody?

No, America is, you know, we always have this debate, right? We're not just an economic tool. People are not tools for the economy or the GDP. We are prioritizing American families, prioritizing the American working class, and the voters that voted in this change before we're going to be kowtowing to foreign countries, corporations, or anything else. We are not an idea. We are a nation. We are a people. And those people come first before anything else. And those people mandated this change.

back in November. So we had to make sure that we are concentrating on prioritizing the right economic policy, the right foreign policy, and the right negotiation tactics to come up with the best result and the best outcome for those workers and their families and their children's futures and their own futures.

We have to be able to prioritize that before we concentrate on any other economic GDP scale or anything to brag on on MSNBC. We need to be able to ensure the American workers are safe, their savings accounts are funded, and their children can go to school, their children can be safe, stay alive, and ensure that these families are facilitated throughout the next generation and create the next great generation as those that came before them.

We are creating the next great generation. I love that. That is so perfect. Kenny, I think you might have your next column right there, man. Creating the next great generation. That is the positive vision for the future that we're all about here at Human Events. We'll be right back with more from Kenny Cody.

Jack is a great guy. He's written a fantastic book. Everybody's talking about it. Go get it. And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event. And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again. Amen.

I just spoke with John Thune about, I just spoke to Mike Johnson about, Speaker. We're going to do something that has never been done in this country before. I'm very proud to say it was my idea. And so sometimes a simple idea, they say, how'd you think of that one? It's so simple, it was never done.

If you buy a car in the United States that's made in the United States, if it's manufactured here, when you borrow money, if you borrow money, you have interest payments. We're going to let you deduct the interest payment for income tax reasons. And I think that's going to more than pay for itself. I think people are going to be they've never had a deduction. You know, deductions are supposed to be for like rich people. And it's unfair to have that. But rich people are rich.

I think I know more about deductions than any human being on earth. But, you know, the truth is that people that are middle income people that buy a car and actually have to borrow money, they're going to now get an interest deduction on their car if it's made in the United States. All right, Jack, we're back live here. Human Events Daily. Kenny Cody, we're on. He's the new opinion editor at Human Events. He hails from Appalachia. Kenny, let me let's talk some more about that. Let's actually tease this out. What you're talking about here. President Trump.

isn't just remembering the greatest generation. He's creating the next greatest generation, the next great generation. So Gen Z, Gen Alpha, this is what he's offering. He's not sitting there saying, oh, you need to worship the great generation. You need to worship the baby boomers. You need to worship the World War II past, et cetera, et cetera. He's saying, look, look, look, we have our past.

We honor our past. We honor our heritage. But at the same time, we actually have to deliver for the future. So, hey, how about you? Do you want to be rich? That's what it's all about. It's about restoring American economic prosperity. Of course, that comes through trade. Of course, that comes through immigration. Of course, that comes through ending the foreign wars. How is President Trump going to create and what is he doing already to create the next great generation?

Well, I think just this priority of the trade and the priority of the American worker, I mean it's no longer cool to be – I mean I'm not saying anything negative about these professions, but to be in law and to be in health or to be in any of those priority fields, even in politics. Like Trump's made it cool to be a working-class citizen, a blue-collar person. He's made it cool –

Like when he goes out and works in McDonald's, he goes out and rides the garbage truck, he goes out to these auto worker plants. He knows that people idolize those who are bringing home the bacon, people who are providing for their families. And Kenny, to your point, just this last weekend, we were railing on Snow White all last week.

What's the number one movie that beat Snow White at the box office this weekend? It's literally called A Working Man, and it's Jason Statham starring him as a construction worker. I think it's his son or his daughter gets taken, you know, Liam Neeson-esque story. But again, just a blue-collar,

Thriller, Jason Statham, a construction worker, defeats Disney, defeats Snow White. They drop 66%. And guess what? America went to go see a working man, and they went to go see the Chosen's doing The Last Supper. So you got Easter, and you got the construction worker leading the box office.

Well, exactly, and I think that that's the kind of idolization a lot of Americans really have in their hearts. But here in Tennessee, when you go out and campaign for governor, you go out and campaign for a political position, people don't want to see you dressed in a shirt and tie and a blazer. They want to see you in overalls. They want to see you in plaid. They want to see you in a flannel. They want to see a working person that can relate to them, that can relate to their families and relate to their friends, people that they've seen growing.

growing up, they don't want some utsy-tutsy person from Nashville or Knoxville or Memphis or Chattanooga. They want to see the working man leading their state, leading their district, leading their region. And I think that's the same case for all across America. They idolize people who are gonna go in, get their hands dirty and actually contribute to their families instead of just going

And sitting in an office somewhere, and like I said, no offense to those professions whatsoever, but Trump has made it cool to be blue-collar again. He's made it cool to be working class again, and I think that next great generation is going to become from idolizing those people and putting those people first and putting America first through foreign policy, economic policy, and trade policy.

And this really does show reworking of our society. It's reworking it away from these fantasy values, these affluent values, right? These, like the limousine liberal type values of saying, oh, you know, I care so much about DEI. I care so much about CRT and wokeness and all this. No, no, no, no, no, no.

People are people. Human nature is immutable. You like a movie where Jason Statham is beating up people. He's a construction worker. He's got his boots on. He's getting his hands dirty. People like that kind of movie. It's simple. Everybody gets it. Then what else is banging up the box office? And this is why I talk about this so much, because the box office is a sort of a way for

Yeah.
