	Welcome back to the Sean Hennedy Show.
	I'm Greg Jarrett, filling in for Sean.
	I'm a Fox News legal analyst.
	You can follow me on Twitter at Greg Jarrett.
	Hope you read my legal columns and listen to my podcast, The Brief on my website, thegregger.com.
	You can also learn about my new book, The Trial of the Century.
	It's now available for pre-order online.
	That famous trial helped form the legal bedrock on which our civil liberties depend today.
	It was a battle over science, faith, free speech, academic freedom, and the power of ideas that nobody should be told how to think.
	Legendary defense attorney Clarence Darrow's stunning takedown of William Jennings Bryan was the most amazing courtroom confrontation in Anglo-Saxon history, wrote the New York Times.
	The surprising outcome of the trial foreshadowed today's bitter culture war.
	So I hope you'll read the book, The Trial of the Century Available Now Online.
	For those of you who have read my many columns about the Biden family corruption, it's encouraging that Congress is now finally, finally investigating the volumes of evidence that appear to implicate President Joe Biden in his son's lucrative influence peddling schemes,
	selling access and promises of potential influence to countries like China, Russia, Ukraine, and other foreign nations.
	Despite a laptop with dreams of incriminating evidence, no charges have ever been filed.
	In a federal investigation that is now in its fifth year.
	Five years, no charges.
	And that of course invites the inevitable question.
	Is Joe Biden's Department of Justice protecting the president?
	Well, it sure looks like it.
	The FBI, after all, has had the laptop in its possession since December of 2019.
	Whistleblowers at the Bureau say top officials at the agency bury that smoking gun evidence.
	And we know from the Twitter files that the FBI pressured, if not directed, the social media giant to censor and suppress the laptop story.
	For more, let's turn now to Peter Schweitzer, one of the best investigative journalists in the nation.
	He is the best-selling author of several books, including Red Handed, the most recent, Profiles in Corruption, Secret Empires, and Clinton Cash, my all-time favorite, Is popular website and podcast is the drill down.
	Peter, great having you back with us.
	There is a terrific column and podcast on your website, the drill down.
	It's entitled, Did the Clintons Inspire the Bidens?
	What's the answer to that question?
	I think they did.
	The answer is yes.
	Um, you know, Greg, you and I both know having followed corruption and cronyism in Washington, D.C. for a long time.
	Uh everybody in Washington loves a business model that can allow them to get rich through public service.
	Uh there are very few exceptions to that rule.
	And I think in this particular case, what the Clintons did was they globalized corruption.
	You know, we think about globalization with the economy, labor, all that kind of stuff.
	Corruption got globalized too.
	And it was really the Clintons the first ones who said, you know, we're gonna cash in not so much by going to you know, Wall Street or big tech, although we'll do some of that.
	We're gonna cash in by going overseas uh to these corrupt uh political cultures, places like Russia and China, uh, and we're going to uh pedal our wares there and sell access there.
	That's what the Clintons did, and I believe that the uh Bidens were inspired by that.
	In fact, you see in the laptop when Hunter Biden is talking about setting up the uh Biden center at the University of Delaware, he actually compares it to the Clinton Global Initiative, saying we can do with this what the Clintons did with uh with the CGI.
	Yeah, and in fact, you go through it in great detail uh in, as I mentioned, my favorite book, Clinton Cash, how they the Clintons use their foundation, their global initiative, really as a personal piggy bank, and in particular the tens of millions of dollars from Russia that flowed into their foundation.
	Really quite breathtaking.
	You know, tell us a bit more about that.
	Yeah, I mean, you know, look, Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State uh the first term of the Obama administration, um, and that provided a real opportunity for the Clinton family to cash in.
	I mean, they were doing pretty well after Bill left the presidency and Hillary was in the Senate.
	But once she became Secretary of State, all these foreign entities wanted to curry favor with the chief diplomat.
	And the perfect avenue was the so-called charity, the Clinton Foundation.
	So they would make these charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation.
	Uh the Clinton Foundation, of course, subsidized the lifestyle of the Clintons.
	It it became sort of a dumping ground for their political operatives, and Russia was one of the main players.
	Um, and it centered around really sensitive important issues like uranium.
	Uh you and I discussed this on the air when when this story first broke, uranium won, this uh uranium company that had roughly half of the uranian assets in the United States.
	They also had uh some very, very uh deep and rich uranium mines in Kazakhstan.
	Bill Hint uh Bill Clinton essentially got the Kazakh government to sell uh those uranium mines to a friend of his, a guy named Frank Justra, uh, who then donated a hundred and uh million dollars to the Clinton Foundation, and then Justra turned around and sold those mines and the mines in the United States to the Russian state-owned uranium producer.
	So they were essentially doing the bidding of the Russian government itself.
	It's it's funny to me, Greg, when you look at uh the demonization of Vladimir Putin today, and and by the way, in my mind, he has always deserved it.
	But you know, back in uh 10 years ago, uh the Clintons uh were very much doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin.
	Uh it wasn't just the money from uranium one.
	They also took in a lot of Russian money because of something called Skokovo, which was a Hillary Clinton initiative as Secretary of State to create a Silicon Valley in Russia.
	You know, what could go wrong?
	Uh and they cashed in there as well, and that enhanced the the Russian military.
	So uh Russia was for the Clintons uh sort of the the golden calf uh as it were for the Bidens, they looked at the other part of the world, they looked at uh Asia and particularly China as the place to cash in the most.
	Yeah.
	So, you know, if I remember correctly, about a hundred million dollars in Russian money flows into the Clinton Foundation and their global initiative, while at the same time, you know, Hillary and Bill are greasing the sale of America's uranium to Russia.
	Their ownership of it.
	I mean, good lord, it's to me it's the definition of corruption.
	Let me come back to something you said a moment ago.
	Uh the Bidens followed the business model of the Clintons.
	In fact, I'll quote from your book Red Handed.
	Quote, the Biden's father and son together apparently followed a business model offering access to the highest levels of power in Washington in exchange for big money, international deals, end of quote.
	And Peter, this is while the elder Biden was vice president of the United States, right?
	Yeah, and that's the key ingredient here, Greg, uh, as you know, uh, you know, with the Clintons, Bill Clinton's speaking fees doubled or tripled overnight when his wife became Secretary of State in 2009.
	It's not because he came more eloquent, uh, it's because foreign entities wanted to pay them to get access.
	It's the same thing with the Bidens.
	Um, Hunter Biden sets up an international finance firm called Rosemont in June of 2009.
	This is, you know, what, five months after his father is sworn as vice president of the United States.
	He had never done international business before.
	Uh, he couldn't have gotten a meeting because his father was simply a senator.
	But now that his father was vice president of the United States and Barack Obama gave Joe Biden the billet for policy towards China, policy towards Ukraine.
	Now suddenly these foreign entities wanted access, they wanted favor, they wanted favorable treatment.
	So what did they do?
	They they went to the son who had set up this international financial business and said, We're happy to do deals with you.
	So Hunter Biden, who I don't think could have gotten really any meetings in China within a year of setting up his business, he's going to China and he's meeting with the equivalent of China's head of the Federal Reserve, uh, the Treasury Secretary, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, UBS.
	Uh he's meeting with 11 of the top finance executives in China.
	Why?
	Because he's got some great, you know, investment scheme, because he's got some great expertise.
	No, because his father is now in charge of policy towards China, and that's how it works.
	And look, the Clintons and the Bidens absolutely know this.
	They know how the game is played.
	And one of the reasons that they run the money through a family member, in the case of the Clintons, when Hillary was Secretary of State, it went through her husband Bill.
	In the case of case of the Bidens, it's run through the son or the brother, uh, James Biden.
	The reason they do that is it gives them some form of plausible deniability.
	But when you look at actually what's going on, it's very clear what's going on, and it's not fooling really anybody.
	Yeah.
	It's it's corrupt influence peddling, uh, promises of access as well as uh potential uh influential decision making that would favor, for example, China.
	You know, uh U.S. banks flagged a staggering a hundred and fifty suspicious activity reports, SARS as they're known, uh, with a financial crimes unit at the Department of Treasury reflecting tens of millions of dollars paid in suspected illegal transactions, right?
	So Joe Biden suddenly becomes president of the United States, and the Treasury Department under Biden will not do what they've always done, which is turn over those reports to Congress.
	Instead, they have refused so far to turn them over.
	What do you make of that?
	Yeah, it's remarkable, Greg.
	Um, you know, what they're claiming is it would violate the banking secrecy laws.
	But of course, there are numerous times in the past when Congress has requested for access to these sorts of financial records and has gotten them from our federal government.
	Uh, In this particular case, uh, it's a cover-up, pure and simple.
	Uh, and and this is the sort of thing that leads to further and further legitimate concern and suspicion.
	I think even by supporters uh of Joe Biden.
	I saw a poll that was done, I think, by Trafalgar just a couple of days ago, uh, showing that uh at least one-third of Democrats uh believe that Joe Biden has a massive conflict of interest when it comes to China because of his family's business dealings.
	Uh, these are Democrats that probably are not listening to uh news outlets such as yours or or Fox, where they're actually being exposed to the detailed information we're discussing.
	Uh so it's very, very clear to me uh that this is a cover-up, and I think that it's going to be interesting to see where Democrats who don't want Joe Biden running for re-election because they think he's too old or they don't think he can win, where they are going to line up because we are setting up, I think, for a battle royale for access to this information.
	There's all kinds of things they can do to make sure that you know, nothing personally secretive that would violate the banking rules uh would be not disclosed.
	You can release the form, you can redact all sorts of things.
	They simply don't want the American people to know who and how much money the Biden family has received from uh China.
	I've got about a minute left, so let me ask you the ultimate question.
	Is it a legitimate concern that Americans should be worried about that?
	Joe Biden is compromised when it comes to China, that he has essentially jeopardized America's national security.
	100%.
	Uh just look at the discussions we have in Washington all the time about campaign contributions by big tech or big oil or by Wall Street.
	Those are legitimate debates.
	In this case, we're not talking about tens of millions of dollars going into campaigns.
	We're talking about tens of millions of dollars going into the pockets of the first family of the United States.
	So by any measure, any measure, it is absolutely a legitimate concern, uh, and one that I believe is the central issue that we're facing as a republic today.
	Well, uh, I hope the Judiciary Committee as well as the Oversight Committee in the House get to the bottom of it.

	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
	It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
	Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
	Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
	We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
	You put two and two together.
	Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
	Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

	You can also learn about my new book, The Trial of the Century, available for pre-order online.
	I wrote it with Don Yeager, terrific writer who dug deep into the history of the case.
	Don was kind enough to join us in the first hour.
	He's going to rejoin us in just a moment.
	So be sure to stay tuned for that.
	Our further discussion on the trial of the century.
	You can get it, preorder it online.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	I'm Greg Jarrett filling in for Sean.
	Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show.
	I'm Greg Jarrett filling in for Sean.
	You can follow me on Twitter at Greg Jarrett.
	You can read my legal columns and other articles on my website, uh the GregJarrett.com.
	Listen to my podcast, The Brief.
	In a couple hours ago, I was talking to my co-author of my new book, uh Trial of the Century, which you can pre-order right now online at all the usual uh online websites, Amazon, Barnes and Noble.
	Uh, it's about the Scopes Monkey trial, the trial of the century, in my judgment, because it set the bread bedrock principles for free speech, academic freedom, intellectual enlightenment, and the power of ideas.
	These are cherished principles uh upon which our civil liberties depend today.
	We cherish these principles.
	And the work of the greatest trial lawyer who ever lived, Clarence Darrow.
	Uh, we owe great gratitude and credit.
	Uh, certainly my hero in my lifetime.
	And joining me once again to talk about it is my co-author, Don Yeager, New York Times best-selling author, longtime associate editor at Sports Illustrated, a popular public speaker.
	And Don, thanks for sticking around for another half hour to talk about the trial of the century.
	You know, one of the things that people get to read about in the book is the incredible tense courtroom scenes, which I mentioned earlier.
	The New York Times described as the greatest courtroom confrontation in Anglo Saxon history.
	But you can also see the photographs of it because they were maintained, this is, you know, almost a hundred years ago, in the archives in Tennessee at Bryan College, which is in Dayton, Tennessee, and you know, just across from the courthouse somewhat.
	You can see it from the top floor of the courthouse.
	And I put together 40 photographs of the trial, game permission.
	And, you know, I go in there and I spent, I don't know, 10 or 12 hours.
	You have to wear white cotton gloves to handle these old fragile photographs.
	And I used this huge high-resolution scanner to copy and download the incredible photographs.
	And let's talk about what they showed because Don, you know, it was a circus-like atmosphere at that trial outside the courthouse and throughout the town, complete with a trained chimpanzee named Joe Mendy, which was sort of a nod to the mistaken impression that man evolved from apes.
	So talk about the circus at the trial of the century.
	You know, Greg, one of the things that really stood out as as we had a chance to experience the town and to walk through uh that courthouse was that you know, at the time, the courtroom where that case was tried was actually the largest courtroom in all of Tennessee.
	It was uh and and yet it was filled uh to its uh to its complete capacity, standing room only, people from around the country, journalists from around the world came to be part of this event.
	Uh it was uh, you know, ironically, the the city of Dayton uh arranged this trial.
	They they they actually sought out the teacher, John Scopes, uh, to see if uh they could find someone who might have violated uh the recently passed law there in Tennessee because they wanted the opportunity to showcase their community, and it turned into uh it was as for many, many years it was quite an embarrassment, a black eye for uh for for the for the community.
	But but yes, I mean, one of the things that that stood out to me was that it was the first trial ever broadcast live on radio.
	Every every minute of the trial, including all of the uh the the actions of the judge and and the and the uh the individual lawyers were broadcast on WGN uh first trial broadcast from uh from beginning to end uh on America on an American radio network.
	So in many ways, it was the court TV version of uh of what you might have experienced in some of your work.
	Um yes, constantly it was uh it was it was seen all over as something that everyone in the country was paying attention to, front page of every newspaper.
	Um, I covered the O.J. Simpson trial, which everybody compared to a circus.
	Frankly, it paled in comparison to what unfolded in 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee.
	But similar to Court TV, in which cameras, you know, were in the courtroom for the Simpson trial.
	Um, there were cameras in 1925 in the courtroom in Dayton, Tennessee for the trial of the century, the name of our book.
	Uh, and and they would fly these newsreel footage every day to Chicago.
	There was always a plane that was waiting on the outskirts of town in Dayton, Tennessee at a small air strip, and they would fly newsreel uh to Chicago, where it would then be distributed across the nation in movie theaters, which was how people would get their news through these newsreel news shorts as they were known and they could watch uh some of what was unfolding inside uh the courtroom there's still some newsreel footage available I found it
	YouTube.
	You know, it's not pretty stuff, but you know, by today's standards, but it still exists.
	This trial really impacted almost everybody who was involved in it, in particular, the defendant John Scopes.
	Now, Scopes was arrested and charged with a crime of teaching evolution under this new statute that Tennessee had passed, but other states were doing the same thing.
	They were also banning books that gave instruction, textbooks on evolution in other states.
	Scopes'life was in so many ways, wasn't it, John, ruined by this case?
	Without question.
	A chunk of our book is dedicated to kind of the retelling of what happened to John Scopes afterward.
	I mean, he disappeared in many ways.
	He became an alcoholic.
	He lost relationship with his own family and children, moved, you know, to Central America.
	There were so many places where his life went in a direction he was not anticipating because so many people were bothered by the idea that he had put himself in this place.
	He was clearly a bad person and what it did in even some of those who tried to chronicle it.
	He wouldn't allow others to talk about it.
	He was, as you said, crushed by the moment.
	I mean, it was really a sad epitaph to a lawyer.
	And this was a guy who was very bright and he, I think he wanted to be a lawyer, but you know, he almost enrolled, I think it was the university in Kentucky law school.
	And, but he realized that his fame or influence, infamy um was haunting him and you know he's a great word realized that he could never be a lawyer especially in the shadow of his famous trial attorney Clarence Darrow.
	What a great description of it.
	Haunt would be the word that you would have to look for if you're trying to understand what happened to him next and over the course of his life.
	Late in his life, he tried to regain some of that fame, actually signed up and was part of game shows and a couple of other things where he tried to use what little fame was left to help him recover some of his life.
	some of his lost finances but yeah yeah I mean it was uh the the promising career of a young teacher um was never the same let's talk about uh the journalist who had more influence on this trial across America than anybody uh in his day he was the most uh famous journalist in America H. L mencken who was this gifted writer uh and and a very intelligent thoughtful person but
	with a very acerbic pen or typewriter.
	And he took direct aim at William Jennings Bryan, whom he mocked, ridiculed, and demeaned.
	And everybody across America read Mencken's column during the trial.
	Yeah, one of the great ironies though, that stood out to both of us as we were kind of digging into this, just yes, Mencken became quite famous over time and even more famous during that trial.
	But while he was there covering it, he had made a decision when he realized that Clarence Darrow was not going to get to put on his expert witnesses.
	He'd made the decision to go back to Baltimore, to leave Dayton because he thought, wow, this is over.
	And so he actually missed and was not there for the piece of the trial
	when William Jennings Bryan actually took the stand he wasn't there for the very for the maybe the most significant piece of the entire event um you know you know today you get fired for for going home early and missing the most pivotal part of the of the trial of the century again my my guest is John Don Yeager is is my co-author uh of the Trial of the Century.
	You can order it online, pre-order it now.
	It's an important book, I think.
	And you know, in the book, I talk so much about how I admired and respected Clarence Darrow, his principles.
	He was known as the attorney for the damned.
	But but he was also flawed.
	We open one of the chapters where Darrow shows up at the door of his one-time girlfriend.
	He is drunk.
	He is got a gun.
	He lays it on the table and announces he's going to kill himself.
	We've only got about a minute or so left, but he was not a perfect person.
	But I I identified with that because I'm not, nobody is uh we're all afflicted with human frailty.
	And Darrow was certainly among us.
	Yeah.
	You know, Greg, I'm I I don't want to spoil it, but I will tell you that maybe my favorite part of the entire book is where at the end you take um you take the reins of the of the writing machine that we had to talk about why you saw this as such an important uh such an important uh cultural event and and how it plays into many of the things we are thinking about today.
	Um I hope readers uh make sure that as they as they dig into this book that they they absolutely listen in to your words there at the end.
	It was really powerful.
	Well, you know, there's another battlefront that has arisen in education, not unlike the trial of the century, this vocal conflict that is so fierce over a different kind of academic freedom, the teaching of a doctrine known as critical race theory.
	And I I you know I don't shy away from it uh in the epilogue.
	And uh I give an analysis of what Darrow would do today in the face of critical race theory.
	And I think it will surprise people who are expecting me to take a particular point of view, but I try to be as fair as I possibly can.
	I talk about the good and the bad.
	Um, because the problem with CRT are the disparate definitions of it and the use of it in various classroom settings.
	There is the more benign uh appropriate history approach, but there are other approaches um that are less benign.
	Uh, and states have reacted to it.
	I recount how Oklahoma has enacted a statute that restricts lessons on race and gender, and the ACLU once again has stepped in and sued.
	And the case still pending regardless of its outcome.
	This is a case that could go all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
	So today's uh version of the trial of the century is not creationism versus evolution, but critical race theory.
	And under what circumstances it is appropriate or inappropriate for it to be taught in America's public schools.
	Don Yeager, uh, thanks for sticking around for another half-hour discussion on our book, which comes out very soon, but can be pre-ordered now online.
	It's called The Trial of the Century.
	Don Yeager, thanks very much for taking the time.
	Thanks for having me, friend.
	I'm Greg Jarrett, sitting in for Sean Hannity on the Sean Hannity Radio Show.
	We're gonna take a quick break.
	We'll be right back with more.
	And welcome back to the Sean Hannity show.
	I'm Greg Jarrett, filling in for Sean.
	It's been a pleasure over the last three hours, uh, particularly uh talking to my co-author Don Yeager.
	He and I have written the book uh The Trial of the Century.
	It's available now for preorder online.
	Just go to Amazon.com, Barnes Noble.com, any other online site.
	The book comes out shortly, but you can pre-order it right now, Trial of the Century.
	It is, I think, a gripping history of the great legal battle between renowned attorney Clarence Darrow and three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan in the famous Scopes Monkey trial.
	Evolution versus creationism.
	And the outcome set the bedrock principles for academic freedom, free speech, intellectual enlightenment, and the power of ideas, all cherished rights and principles that we enjoy today.
	Again, that's Trial of the Century, available for pre order right now.
	And you can follow me online on my website, thegregger.com, where you can get my columns, articles, my television and radio hits, as well as listening to my podcast, The Brief.
	I'm Greg Jarrett.

	When I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
