00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: of the Century. It's now available for pre order online.

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: That famous trial helped form the legal bedrock on which

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: our civil liberties depend today. Was a battleover science, faith,

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: free speech, academic freedom, and the power of ideas that

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: nobody should be told how to think. Legendary defense attorney

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Clarence Darrow's stunning takedown of William Jennings Brian was the

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: most amazing courtroom confrontation in Anglo Saxon history, wrote The

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: New York Times, the surprising outcome of the trial foreshadowed

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: today's bitter culture wars. So I hope you'll read the book,

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: The Trial of the Century, available now online. For those

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: of you who have read my many columns about the

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Biden family corruption, it's encouraging that Congress is now finally

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: finally investigating the volumes of evidence that appear to implicate

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: President Joe Biden in his son's lucrative influence pedaling schemes,

21
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: selling access and promises of potential influence to countries like China, Russia,

22
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: Ukraine and other foreign nations. Despite a laptop with reams

23
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: of incriminating evidence, no charges have ever been filed in

24
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: a federal investigation that is now in its fifth year.

25
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Five years no charges, and that of course invites the

26
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: inevitable question, is Joe Biden's Department of Justice protecting the President? Well,

27
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: it sure looks like it. The FBI, after all, has

28
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: had the laptop in its possession since December of twenty

29
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: and nineteen. Whistle blowers that the bureau say top officials

30
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: at the agency buried that's smoking gun evidence. And we

31
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: know from the Twitter files that the FBI pressured, if

32
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: not directed, the social media giant to censor and suppress

33
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: the laptop story. For more, let's turn out of Peter Schweitzer,

34
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: one of the best investigative journalists in the nation. He

35
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: is the best selling author of several books, including Red Handed,

36
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: the most recent Profiles in Corruption, Secret Empires, and Clinting Cash.

37
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: My all time favorite is pocketar website and podcast is

38
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: the drill Down. Peter great having you back with us.

39
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: There is a terrific column and podcast on your website

40
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: to drill Down. It's entitled did the Clintons inspire the Bidens?

41
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: What's the answer to that question? I think they did.

42
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: The answer is yes. You know, Greg, you and I

43
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: both know, having followed corruption and cronyism in Washington, DC

44
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: for a long time, everybody in Washington loves a business

45
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: model that can allow them to get rich through public service.

46
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: There are very few exceptions to that rule. And I

47
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: think in this particular case, what the Clintons did was

48
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: they globalized corruption. You know, we think about globalization with

49
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: the economy, labor or all that kind of stuff. Corruption

50
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: got globalized too. And it was really the Clinton's the

51
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: first ones who said, you know, we're gonna cash in.

52
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: Not so much by going to you know, Wall Street

53
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: or big Tech, although we'll do some of that. We're

54
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: going to cash in by going overseas to these corrupt

55
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: political cultures places like Russia and China, and we're going

56
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: to peddle our wares there and sell access there. That's

57
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: what the Clintons did, and I believe that the Bidens

58
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: were inspired by that. In fact, you see in the

59
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Laptop when Hunter Biden is talking about setting up the

60
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: Biden Center at the University of Delaware, he actually compares

61
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: it to the Clinton Global Initiatives, saying, we can do

62
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: with this what the Clintons did with the CGI. Yeah,

63
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: and in fact you go through it in great detail

64
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: in as I mentioned my favorite book, Clinton Cash, how

65
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: they the Clintons used their foundation, their Global Initiative really

66
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: is a personal piggy bank, and in particular the tens

67
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars from Russia that flowed into their foundation. Yeah,

68
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: really quite breathtaking, you know. Tell us a bit more

69
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: about that, Yeah, I mean, you know, look, Hillary Clinton

70
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: was Secretary of State the first term of the Obama administration,

71
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: and that provided a real opportunity for the Clinton family

72
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: to cash in. I mean, they were doing pretty well

73
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: after Bill left the presidency and Hillary was in the Senate.

74
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: But once she became Secretary of State, all these foreign

75
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: entities wanted to curry favor with chief diplomat, and the

76
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: perfect avenue was the so called charity, the Clinton Foundation.

77
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: So they would make these charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation.

78
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: The Clinton Foundation, of course, subsidized the lifestyle of the Clintons.

79
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: It became sort of a dumping ground for their political operatives,

80
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: and Russia was one of the main players, and it

81
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: centered around really sensitive important issues like uranium. You and

82
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: I discussed this on the air when this story first broke.

83
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Uranium won this uranium company that had roughly half of

84
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: the Uranian assets in the United States. They also had

85
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: some very very deep and rich uranium mines in Kazakhstan.

86
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton essentially got the Kazakh government to sell those

87
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: uranium minds to a friend of his, a guy named

88
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: Frank Justra, who then donated one hundred million dollars to

89
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation. And then Justra turned around and sold

90
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: those minds and the minds in the United States to

91
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: the Russian state owned uranium producer. So they were essentially

92
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: doing the bidding of the Russian government itself. It's it's

93
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: funny to meet Greg when you look at the demonization

94
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: of Vladimir Putin today and by the way, in my mind,

95
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: he has always deserved it. But you know, back in

96
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: ten years ago, the Clintons were very much doing the

97
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: bidding of Vladimir Putin. It wasn't just the money from

98
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: uranium one. They also took in a lot of Russian

99
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: money because of something called Skokovo, which was a Hillary

100
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: Clinton initiative as Secretary of State to create a silicon

101
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: valley in Russia. You know what could go wrong, And

102
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: they cashed in there as well, and that enhanced the

103
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Russian military. So Russia was for the Clinton's sort of

104
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: the the the golden calf, as it were for the Bidens.

105
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: They looked at the other part of the world. They

106
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: looked at Asia and particularly China as the place to

107
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: cash in the most. Yeah. So you know, if I

108
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: remember correctly, about one hundred million dollars in Russian money

109
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: flows into the Clinton Foundation and their Global Initiative. Well,

110
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, Hillary and Bill are

111
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: greasing the sale of America's uranian to Russia, their their

112
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: ownership of it. I mean, good lord, it's to me,

113
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: it's the definition of corruption. Let me come back to

114
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: something you said a moment ago. The Bidens followed the

115
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: business model of the Clintons. In fact, i'll quote from

116
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: your book Red Handed quote the Biden's father and son

117
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: together apparently followed a business model offering access to the

118
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: highest levels of powering Washington in exchange for big money

119
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,679
Speaker 1: international deals end of quote. And Peter. This is while

120
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: the elder Biden was Vice President of the United States, right, Yeah,

121
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: And that's the key ingredient here, Greg. As you know,

122
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: you know with the Clintons, Bill Clinton's speaking fees doubled

123
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: or tripled overnight when his wife became Secretary of State

124
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine. It's not because became more eloquent.

125
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: It's because foreign entities wanted to pay them to get access.

126
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with the Biden's Hunter Biden sets

127
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: up an international finance firm called Rosemont in June of

128
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. This is, you know what, five

129
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: months after his father has sworn as Vice President of

130
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: the United States. He had never done international business before.

131
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: He couldn't have gotten a meeting because his father was

132
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: simply a senator. But now that his father was vice

133
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: president of the United States and Barack Obama gave Joe

134
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: Biden the villet for policy towards China, policy towards Ukraine.

135
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: Now suddenly these foreign entities wanted access, they wanted favor,

136
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: they wanted favorable treatment. So what did they do. They

137
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: went to the son who had set up this international

138
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: financial business and said, we're happy to do deals with you.

139
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: So Hunter Biden, who I don't think could have gotten

140
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: really any meetings in China within a year of setting

141
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: up his business, he's going to China and he's meeting

142
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: with the equivalent of China's head of the Federal Reserve,

143
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: the Treasury Secretary JP Morgan Goldman Sachs Ubs. He's meeting

144
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: with eleven of the hop finance executives in China. Why

145
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: because he's got some great, you know, investment scheme, because

146
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: he's got some great expertise. No, because his father is

147
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: now in charge of policy towards China. And that's how

148
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: it works. And look, the Clintons and the Bidens absolutely

149
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: know this. They know how the game is played. And

150
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that they run the money through

151
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: a family member. In the case of the Clintons, when

152
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Hillary was Secretary of State, it went through her husband Bill.

153
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: In the case of the Bidens, it's run through the

154
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: son or the brother, James Biden. The reason they do

155
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: that is it gives them some form of plausible deniability.

156
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: But when you look at actually what's going on. It's

157
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: very clear what's going on, and it's not fooling really anybody. Yeah,

158
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: it's it's corrupt influence, pedaling promises of access as well

159
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: as potential influential decision making it would favor, for example, China.

160
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: You know, US banks flagged a staggering a hundred and

161
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: fifty suspicious activity reports stars is, they're known with a

162
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: financial crimes unit at the Department of Treasury reflecting tens

163
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars paid in suspected illegal transactions. Right, So,

164
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 1: Joe Biden suddenly becomes president United States and the Treasury

165
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: Department under Biden will not do what they've always done,

166
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: which is turn over those reports to Congress. Instead, they

167
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: have refused so far to turn them over. What do

168
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: you make of that? Yeah, it's remarkable, Greg. You know,

169
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: what they're claiming is it would violate the banking secrecy laws.

170
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: But of course there are numerous times in the past

171
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: when Congress has requested for access to these sorts of

172
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: financial records and has gotten them from our federal government.

173
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: In this particular case, it's a cover up, pure and simple,

174
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: And this is the sort of thing that leads to

175
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: further and further legitimate concern and suspicion, I think even

176
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: by supporters of Joe Biden. I saw a poll that

177
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 1: was done I think by Trafalgar just a couple of

178
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: days ago, showing that at least one third of Democrats

179
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: believe that Joe Biden has a massive conflict of interest

180
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to China because of his family's business dealings.

181
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: These are Democrats that probably are not listening to news

182
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: outlets such as Yours or Fox where they're actually being

183
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: exposed to the detailed information we're discussing. So it's very

184
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: very clear to me that this is a cover up,

185
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: and I think that it's going to be interesting to

186
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: see where Democrats who don't want Joe Biden running for

187
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: reelection because they think he's too old or they don't

188
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: think he can win, where they are going to line

189
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: up because we are setting up, i think, for a

190
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: battle royale for access to this information. There's all kinds

191
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: of things they can do to make sure that you know,

192
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: nothing personally secretive that would violate the banking rules would

193
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: be not disclosed. You can release the form, you can

194
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: redact all sorts of things. They simply don't want the

195
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: American people to know who and how much money the

196
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: Biden family has received from China. I've got about a

197
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: minute left, so let me ask you the ultimate question.

198
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: Is it a legitimate concern that Americans should be worried

199
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: about that Joe Biden is compromised when it comes to China,

200
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: that he has essentially jeopardized America's national security. Just look

201
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: at the discussions we have in Washington all the time

202
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: about campaign contributions by big tech, or big oil, or

203
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: by Wall Street. Those are legitimate debates. In this case,

204
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: we're not talking about tens of millions of dollars going

205
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: into campaigns. We're talking about tens of millions of dollars

206
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: going into the pockets of the first family of the

207
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: United States. So by any measure, any measure, it is

208
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: absolutely a legitimate concern and one that I believe is

209
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: the central issue that we're facing as a republic today. Well,

210
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: I hope the Judiciary Committee as well as the Oversight

211
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: Committee in the House get to the bottom of it.

212
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Peter Schweitzer one of the best investigative journalists, best selling

Speaker 1: my judgment, because it's set the bedrock principles for free speech,

Speaker 1: academic freedom, intellectual enlightenment, and the power of ideas. These

Speaker 1: trial lawyer who ever lived, Clarence Darrow. We owe great

246
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: gratitude and credit, certainly my hero in my lifetime and

247
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: joining me once again to talk about it as my coauthor,

248
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: Don Jeger, New York Times bestselling author, a longtime associate

249
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: editor at Sports Illustrated, a popular public speaker, and done.

250
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for sticking around for another half hour to talk

251
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: about the Trial of the Century. You know, one of

252
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: the things that people get to read about in the

253
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: book is the incredible tense courtroom scenes which I mentioned earlier,

254
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: The New York Times described as the greatest courtroom confrontation

255
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: in Anglo Saxon history. But you can also see the

256
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: photographs of it because they were maintained. This is, you know,

257
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: almost a hundred years ago in the archives in Tennessee

258
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: at Brian College, which is in Dayton, Tennessee, and you know,

259
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: just across from the courthouse somewhat. You can see it

260
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: from the top floor of the courthouse. And I put

261
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: together forty photographs of the trial game permission, and you know,

262
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: I go in there and I spent I don't know,

263
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: ten or twelve hours. You have to wear white cotton

264
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: gloves to handle these old, fragile photographs. And I used

265
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: this huge high resolution scanner to copy and download the

266
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: incredible photographs. And let's talk about what they show, because

267
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: don you know, it was a circus like atmosphere at

268
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: that trial outside the courthouse enterout the town, complete with

269
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: a trained chimpanzee named Joe Mendy, which was sort of

270
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: a nod to the mistaken impression that man evolved from

271
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: eight So talk about the circus at the trial of

272
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: the century, you know, Greg, One of the things that

273
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: really stood out as as we had a chance to

274
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: experience the town and to to walk through that courthouse.

275
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: Was that you know, at the time, the court room

276
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: where that case was tried was actually the largest courtroom

277
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: in all of Tennessee. It was UH and and yet

278
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: it was filled to its to its complete capacity, standing

279
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: room only. People from around the country, journalist from around

280
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: the world came to be part of this event. It was,

281
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, ironically the city of Dayton arranged this trial.

282
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: They they they actually sought out the teacher John Scopes

283
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: to see if they could find someone who might have

284
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: violated the recently passed law there in Tennessee, because they

285
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: wanted the opportunity to to showcase their community. And it

286
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: turned into it was as for many many years, it

287
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: was quite an embarrassment of black eye for for for

288
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: the for the community. But but yes, I mean one

289
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: of the things that that stood out to me was

290
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: that it was the first trial ever UH broadcast live

291
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: on radio. Every every minute of the trial, including all

292
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: of the UH, the the actions of the judge and

293
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: and the and the UH the individual lawyers were broadcast

294
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: on WGN. UH first trial broadcasts from from beginning to

295
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: end on America An American Radio Network. So in many

296
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: ways it was the court TV version of what you

297
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: might have experienced in some of your work. So yes,

298
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: constantly it was. It was It was seen all over

299
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: as something that everyone in the country was paying attention to,

300
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: front page of every newspaper. You know, I covered the O. J.

301
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: Simpson trial, which everybody compared to a circus. Frankly, it

302
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: paled in comparison to what unfolded in nineteen twenty five

303
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: in Dayton, Tennessee. But similar to court TV, in which cameras,

304
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: you know, we're in the courtroom for the Simpson trial.

305
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: There were cameras in nineteen twenty five in the courtroom

306
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: in Dayton, Tennessee, for the trial of the Century the

307
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: name of our book. And they would fly these newsreel

308
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: footage every day to Chicago. There was always a plane

309
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: that was waiting on the outskirts of town in Dayton, Tennessee,

310
00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: at a small airstrip, and they would fly newsreel to Chicago,

311
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: where it would then be distributed across the nation in

312
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: movie theaters, which was how people would get their their

313
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: news through these newsreel news shorts as they were known,

314
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: and they could watch some of what was unfolding inside

315
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: the courtroom. There's still some newsreel footage available. I found

316
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: it on YouTube. You know, it's not pretty stuff, but

317
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, by today's standards, but it still exists. This

318
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: trial really impacted almost everybody who was involved in it,

319
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: In particular the defendant John Scopes. Now Scopes was arrested

320
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: and charged with a crime of teaching evolution under this

321
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: new statute that Tennessee had passed. But other states were

322
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: doing the same thing. They were also banning books that

323
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: gave instruction textbooks on evolution in other states. Scopes life

324
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: was in so many ways, wasn't it done ruined by

325
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: by this case? But without question, one of a chunk

326
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: of our book is dedicated to UH to kind of

327
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: the retelling of what happened to John Scope's afterward. I mean,

328
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: he he disappeared in many ways. He um, he became

329
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: an alcoholic, he lost relationship with his own family and children,

330
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: moved you know, to UH to Central America. He there

331
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: were there were so many places where where his life

332
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: went in in a direction he was not anticipating, because

333
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: so many people were bothered by the idea that he

334
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: was um, that that he had put himself in this place.

335
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: He was clearly a bad person. And what it, what

336
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: it did, and even some of those who tried to

337
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: chronicle it, he wouldn't allow others to talk about it.

338
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: Um he was he was, as you said, crushed by

339
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: by the moment. I mean, it was really a sad

340
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: epitaph to a law and this was a guy who

341
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: was very bright and he I think he wanted to

342
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: be a lawyer. But you know, he almost enrolled I

343
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: think it was a university in Kentucky law school, and

344
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: that he realized that his fame or infamy was haunting him,

345
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,239
Speaker 1: and you know, that's a great word, realized that he

346
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: could never be a lawyer, especially in the shadow of

347
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: his famous trava a journey Clarence Darrell. What a great

348
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: what a great description of it. Haunt was would be

349
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: the word that you would have to look for if

350
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: you're trying to understand what happened to him next and

351
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: over the remaining the course of his life. Late in

352
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: his life, he tried to to regain some of that fame.

353
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: Actually signed up and was part of game shows and

354
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: a couple of other things where he tried to use

355
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: what little fame was left to help him recover some

356
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: of his lost finances. But yeah, I mean it was

357
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: the promising career of a young teacher. Um was never

358
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: the same. Let's talk about the journalist who had more

359
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: influence on this trial across America than anybody in his day.

360
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: He was the most famous journalist in America, Hl Mencin,

361
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: who was this gifted writer and a very intelligent, thoughtful person,

362
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: but with a very acerbic pen or typewriter. And you know,

363
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: he took direct aim at William Jennings Bryan, whom he mocked,

364
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: ridiculed and demeaned, and everybody across America read Mencon's column

365
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: during the trial. Yeah, one of the one of the

366
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: great ironies though that it stood out to both of

367
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: us as we were kind of digging into this, because yes,

368
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: Mancin became quite fair amos over time and even more

369
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: famous during that trial. But while he was there covering it,

370
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: he had made a decision when he realized that the

371
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: that that Clarence Darrow was not going to get to

372
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: put on his expert witnesses, he made the decision to

373
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: go back to Baltimore, to leave Dayton because he he thought, wow,

374
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: this is this is over and so he actually missed

375
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: and was not there for the peace of the trial

376
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: when William Jennings Bryan actually took the stand. He wasn't

377
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: there for the very for maybe the most significant piece

378
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: of the entire event. Um, you know, you know today

379
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: you get fired for going home early and missing the

380
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: most pivotal part of the of the Trial of the Century. Again,

381
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: my guest is John don Yeger. Is is my co

382
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: author of The Trial of the Century. You can order

383
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: it online. Pre order it now. It's an important book,

384
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: I think, And you know, in the book, I talked

385
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: so much about how I admired and respected Clarence Darrow

386
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: his principles. He was known as the Attorney for the damned,

387
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: but he was also flawed. We opened one of the

388
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: chapters where Darrow shows up at the door of his

389
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: one time girlfriend. He is drunk, he is got a gun,

390
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: he lays it on the table and announces he's going

391
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: to kill himself. We've only got about a minute or

392
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: so left. But he was not a perfect person. But

393
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: I identified with that because I'm not. Nobody is. We're

394
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: all afflicted with human frailty, and Darrow was certainly among us. Yeah,

395
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: you know, Greg, I don't want to spoil it, but

396
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: I will tell you that maybe my favorite part of

397
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: the entire book is where at the end you take

398
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: you take the reins of the of the writing machine

399
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: that we had to talk about why you saw this

400
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: as such an important, such an important cultural event, and

401
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: how it plays into many of the things we are

402
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: thinking about today. I hope readers make sure that as

403
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: they as they dig into this book, that they absolutely

404
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: listen in to your words there at the end. It

405
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: was really powerful. Well, you know, there's another battlefront that

406
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: has risen an education, not unlike the Trial of the Century.

407
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: There's vocal conflict that is so fierce over a different

408
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: kind of academic freedom, the teaching of a doctrine known

409
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: as critical race theory. And I, you know, I don't

410
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: shy away from it. In the epilogue, and I give

411
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: an analysis of what Darrow would do today in the

412
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: face of critical race theory. And I think it will

413
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: surprise people who are expecting me to take a particular

414
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: point of view, but I try to be as fair

415
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: as I possibly can. I talk about the good and

416
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: the bad, because the problem with CRT are the disparate

417
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: definitions of it and the use of it in various

418
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: classroom settings. There is the more benign appropriate history approach,

419
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: but there are other approaches that are less benign, and

420
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: states have reacted to it. I recount how Oklahoma has

421
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: enacted as statute that restricts lessons on race and gender,

422
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: and the ACLU once again has stepped in, ensued, and

423
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: the case still penning. Regardless of its outcome. This is

424
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: a case that could go all the way to the

425
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: United States Supreme Court. So today's version of the Trial

426
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: of the Century is not creationism versus evolution, but critical

427
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: race theory and under what circumstances it is appropriate or

428
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: inappropriate for it to be taught in America's public schools.

429
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: Don Jeger, thanks for sticking around for another half hour

430
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,200

432
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: of the Century. Great, Don Jeger, thanks very much for

00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: a gripping history of the great legal battle between renowned

446
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: attorney Clarence Darrow and three time presidential candidate William Jennings

447
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: Bryan in the famous Scopes Monkey trial, Evolution versus Creationism,

448
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: and the outcome set the bedrock principles for academic freedom,

449
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: free speech, intellectual enlightenment, and the power of ideas, all

450
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: cherished rights and principles that we enjoy today. Again. That's
