Today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by Turning Point USA.
00:00:40.260
We've got John Solomon of Just the News joining us here on Human Events.
00:00:45.680
He's going to give us the inside story of the Hunter Biden whistleblower, as well as break down everything that we've heard now from the John Durham report that came out,
00:00:57.580
which I contend shows that the FBI launched a soft coup against a duly elected sitting president.
00:01:17.760
Well, what you've seen from a number of colleagues, and frankly, it's bolstered by the Durham report,
00:01:23.400
is that there are some agents at the FBI who acted outside the lines.
00:01:27.840
Again, I will read a quote from the Durham report.
00:01:33.160
This is the Durham report conducted from within law enforcement.
00:01:39.940
The FBI failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law.
00:01:45.000
They also point out that an FBI agent knowingly made misrepresentations to the FISA court.
00:01:55.120
And so the concerns are, you know, we support men and women in law enforcement.
00:02:01.900
And if there's dirty cops, they need to be rooted out.
00:02:04.060
And we want to start seeing that level of accountability.
00:02:06.760
And the Durham report shows you a roadmap of where some of that accountability needs to be administered.
00:02:12.860
They need to do their job cleaning house as well.
00:02:15.440
We've got a little bit of cross-pollination here at Real America's Voice.
00:02:19.280
We've got the great John Solomon from Just the News who's joining us.
00:02:23.180
Because, John, there's been so much going on this week between Hunter Biden, the whistleblower,
00:02:28.180
the missing whistleblower, the found whistleblower, the whistleblower retaliation.
00:02:37.440
Well, listen, I think Americans got the fullest dose yet of just how weaponized our law enforcement was this week
00:02:44.420
with the Durham report and the amplification that these whistleblowers in the FBI and IRS are bringing.
00:02:49.960
We do not have a blind justice system in America right now.
00:02:53.020
We have a tilted, politicized justice system that will take one campaign's fake allegations
00:02:59.660
and impose them on another and use the taxpayers' resources for three years to tie up a president.
00:03:07.140
And for a long time, people were told that was a conspiracy theory.
00:03:15.140
And John Durham, a career prosecutor, laid bare how Hillary Clinton's steel dossier garbage
00:03:21.860
and the other things that came along with it were used by the FBI to go after President Trump
00:03:26.240
without a single iota of evidence of wrongdoing.
00:03:39.960
It's no longer a conspiracy theory in Washington anymore.
00:03:43.040
Well, you know, it's funny because if you go, I mean, this is amazing, right?
00:03:46.980
If you go to Wikipedia right now, and I'm actually, I've been doing this as we're talking,
00:03:53.900
that if you look up, they have two different articles.
00:03:56.740
One is the Russia investigation origins counter narrative, which is, I think, a new article
00:04:03.160
that they've come up with because they're having trouble with it.
00:04:06.480
But I think now there's been various names for the sort of the Russiagate hoax, but I
00:04:13.600
think one of the biggest ones was Spygate, was that people really use that term.
00:04:18.020
So if you go to Spygate right now on Wikipedia.com, it says Spygate is a conspiracy theory promulgated
00:04:25.660
by President Donald Trump that the Obama administration had put a spy in his 2016 presidential campaign
00:04:33.040
And it goes back to, of course, the famous tweet, while the FBI spied on the Trump campaign
00:04:40.460
It's amazing to me because it's completely true.
00:04:47.200
The narrative includes conspiracy theories, accusations of a secretive, all-powerful, elite,
00:04:52.600
quote, deep state network that and other false and debunked claims talks about Mueller, talks
00:05:05.460
It includes the false claim that the Steele dossier had a role in triggering the overall
00:05:13.400
So I guess, John, my question to you is we can get this out with Durham, but if the media
00:05:20.240
is already out there and remember that there were Pulitzer Prizes given for this, there
00:05:23.480
are White House Correspondence Awards given for this reporting to CNN specifically, Jake
00:05:29.940
If if that's if they say the news is the first draft of history and then Wikipedia might maybe
00:05:37.440
It's the sort of new living, you know, fake encyclopedia that's out there.
00:05:41.040
At what point do do we actually get to correct the record and go through?
00:05:46.880
Is there any justification to be found anywhere in terms of this?
00:05:52.740
But what happens, I guess, my question is, if you're exonerated and and nobody on the
00:06:03.480
I think the elite media are less and less important.
00:06:06.140
They're less honest gatekeepers and they're viewed that way.
00:06:08.640
And that's why millions upon millions upon millions of Americans every month go to sources
00:06:13.140
like yours and mine and R.A.V. and other places, because we're racking up a record of
00:06:18.560
accuracy that defeats their record of accuracy.
00:06:21.420
And let's just take that Wikipedia entry that you just mentioned, because it says that it is
00:06:25.820
a conspiracy theory that the government put a spy into the Trump campaign.
00:06:35.220
They wanted him to try to get hired inside the Trump campaign.
00:06:39.100
They rubbed him up against two of the targets of the FBI investigation, George Papadopoulos
00:06:48.700
There's a spy handling form that I made public two years ago with all of Stefan Halper's
00:06:53.600
By the way, Stefan Halper produced exonerating evidence.
00:06:56.760
He actually reported back to the FBI that the guys he was talking to didn't have any evidence
00:07:02.740
He was inserted into the Trump campaign and around the Trump people.
00:07:14.080
And and what's so striking to me, though, is and a lot of people have said, OK, well,
00:07:23.820
I think, though, there is a difference to be had because you are actually seeing some
00:07:29.860
people in mainstream media and corporate press acknowledging this in ways.
00:07:36.460
Now, of course, CNN, they're trying very hard and they've been trying recently to kind of
00:07:43.720
They're out on years and go back to the original CNN model of independent reporting, independent
00:07:51.220
I don't think they can turn the corner on this because you got Jake Tapper out there,
00:07:54.520
you know, portraying this huge shock and and and dismay, devastating report.
00:08:03.520
If he doesn't do that, then I just don't think it sticks.
00:08:08.220
Yeah, listen, here's the most important factoid to this moment, to this day right now, most
00:08:13.840
of the mainstream media still haven't reported the most serious but corroborated allegations
00:08:18.360
about the Biden family and its influence peddling and its foreign deals, right?
00:08:22.800
And yet a supermajority of Americans recently said in a poll they're deeply concerned about
00:08:27.860
That means that a supermajority of Americans are getting their news from someplace other
00:08:31.640
than the New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN who've had a blockade on that information.
00:08:36.140
I see so much optimism that the American people have abandoned the traditional gatekeepers,
00:08:41.080
the Walter Cronkites, the Bernie Shaws, people we actually could trust on television two or
00:08:45.920
three decades ago, they're going around them and they're trying to create a 360 view of
00:08:50.560
facts because they know they've been misled so many times since the beginning of the Trump
00:08:58.640
Because our founding fathers always imagined competition in the free marketplace would be
00:09:02.640
the ultimate panacea to any problem when it came to truth.
00:09:05.860
And that's actually playing out before our eyes.
00:09:10.040
Most people know about Russia collusion being debunked.
00:09:12.780
And they don't know it from the traditional media.
00:09:15.300
So that means a new ecosystem is emerging that people are trusting, consuming and sharing
00:09:23.580
And I know that you're certainly seeing it when you look at your traffic every day, when
00:09:27.640
we look at the numbers on Real America's Voice and we see the fact that people are flooding
00:09:32.840
They also couldn't explain why the Bidens received over $1 million in 16 different wire
00:09:41.560
transfers over a period of three months to at least five different banks.
00:09:48.280
The president, when confronted with this information, said it wasn't true.
00:09:54.020
Instead of being honest with the American people, President Biden has claimed since the 2020 election
00:09:59.080
that his family has not received money from China.
00:10:05.560
And he continues to lie to the American people now.
00:10:10.320
The Bidens have received millions of dollars from China.
00:10:14.280
It is inconceivable that the president did not know it.
00:10:18.620
The White House refuses to correct the president's statements, showing the president is now using
00:10:23.940
the federal government to run interference for his families and his own role in these
00:10:29.860
You mentioned about the Biden crime family, and I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you about
00:10:35.060
the current updates on where we are, not only with the Hunter Biden investigation, but
00:10:42.380
And what we heard, what we heard as late as last night, I think you guys broke the story
00:10:46.900
that it was a retaliation done to them at the IRS that they've been taken off the Hunter
00:10:54.580
Biden case for simply trying to do their jobs the same way they would if certainly if it were
00:11:01.240
you or myself as the Solomon case, the Posobiec case, you know, that would be cut and dry.
00:11:06.360
You know, they'd be, you know, they've been knocking our doors with the silver bracelet a long
00:11:15.840
We broke it last night here in Real America's Voice, just the news.
00:11:19.100
The lawyers for this senior supervisory criminal investigation agent of the IRS who came forward
00:11:25.420
about a month or two ago, first to the Justice Department, Inspector General, then to Congress.
00:11:29.460
By the way, he followed every step of the process, the letter of the law he followed
00:11:36.360
He has been removed, along with his entire team of investigators, from the
00:11:43.920
It's ongoing, and it was done, according to the letter, at the behest of the Biden Justice
00:11:49.520
On its face, this meets the definition of prima facie, interference or retaliation or reprisal.
00:11:55.900
The law actually describes having a change in your job status as it.
00:11:59.880
But it's really consequential, not only because they're creating a retaliation against a whistleblower.
00:12:06.560
It just took all of the experts who spent the last four years going through Hunter Biden's
00:12:12.580
At the very moment, the Justice Department and prosecutors are trying to decide whether
00:12:19.120
You take all of that brain drain and you remove it from the equation right as Hunter Biden is
00:12:24.020
trying to convince the Justice Department, don't indict me.
00:12:28.140
It's not only a bad optic, it's bad investigating.
00:12:32.000
Well, and plus, I can certainly see that being, like if I'm Hunter Biden's defense attorneys,
00:12:36.940
if we go to trial, that's the first thing that I'm going to bring up to the jury.
00:12:50.660
And these guys, I'm sure that term will come up.
00:12:56.240
And then so the DOJ is going to come forward and they're going to use that great phrase,
00:12:59.500
the same phrase that we keep hearing again and again, that, well, you know, we could
00:13:03.660
have charged it, but no jury would have ever found the conviction.
00:13:06.940
And so because of that, we've made the decision not to charge.
00:13:11.260
I can, I, it's John, it's like, I can see the future here.
00:13:17.020
And you can read the future because that's exactly what's going to happen.
00:13:21.740
But while we still have you, we have a couple of minutes left.
00:13:25.220
I have to ask you about, and I got to tell you, I was telling you a little bit in the
00:13:29.480
break, but for the folks that, uh, that aren't here.
00:13:32.520
So, uh, my son just had his fifth birthday and we, you know, we came home and we'd ordered
00:13:39.740
But one of the things that we had in the mail that ended up coming, you know, at the same
00:13:44.340
time, the same mail delivery as all of his birthday presents or a lot of his birthday
00:13:48.300
presents, at least was actually the copy of your new book, the new John Solomon books,
00:13:55.060
And so we got to actually include that as a gift for my son.
00:14:06.540
And tell us about why you wanted to get involved with brave books.
00:14:10.460
And then tell us about the book specifically, because this one is great.
00:14:23.520
Well, I wanted to do something for parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, because I
00:14:28.280
learned during the course of the Russia collusion, and then the Hunter Biden case, that there
00:14:33.400
were one or two generations of Americans who weren't outraged by all the censorship we
00:14:37.320
just lived through, because they weren't taught the civic lessons that you and I were taught.
00:14:41.380
They weren't taught the First Amendment was first.
00:14:44.660
They weren't taught that free speech was essential to a constitutional republic.
00:14:47.720
In fact, some of them told me they were actually taught by their college professors and
00:14:51.840
their school teachers that there, there could be instances where government censorship would
00:15:00.740
It sounds like a Star Trek term, but they were told it.
00:15:03.120
So I wanted when the moment presented itself to be able to share something with moms and
00:15:07.040
dads, they could, they could give the lessons that maybe schools weren't giving their children.
00:15:10.160
And so about a year ago, my son's hamster, I have an autistic son, his hamster got out
00:15:15.760
My wife and his son had left and they gave me one mission.
00:15:20.320
I fed the hamster, but I left the cage open door for just a little too long.
00:15:23.580
The hamster got out and I spent four hours on the ground, on my knees with a stethoscope,
00:15:29.300
I finally found a little scratching sound about two in the morning.
00:15:32.200
He was in air conditioning, but I scooped him up, put him back in the cage.
00:15:37.000
And I thought I had dodged a bullet with my wife and son.
00:15:40.660
Well, my amazing co-host, Amanda Head, didn't know, my wife didn't know she heard the story.
00:15:46.120
So on national television, on Real America's Voice, she outed me that Chunk had gotten a
00:15:54.400
So my attrition was, my contrition was, I was going to write a story about him.
00:15:58.080
So Brave Books made him a hamster newspaper editor who can't get his headlines out to the
00:16:03.180
hamster village because a mean old koala bear named Carl clogs the hamster.
00:16:10.060
And then along comes this brave, courageous dog named Seymour Clues.
00:16:14.480
The newspaper gets out and the hamster village is saved before a flood comes.
00:16:19.080
It's a fun, simple, loving way with great pictures, great artwork, great storytelling
00:16:23.180
from the Brave Books people to relay to children why free speech is important and why censorship
00:16:29.420
I hope parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles get to use it.
00:16:31.820
Go to bravebooks.us and you can get a free copy.
00:16:34.420
You don't get anything in the Biden economy free, but you'll get a free copy this month
00:16:37.740
from Brave Books if you sign up for their book club.
00:16:40.440
Well, and it's, it's actually a great, um, it's a great story too, because in, in the
00:16:44.620
mystery there's, you know, you kind of kind of gave it away a spoiler there for, uh,
00:16:49.620
sorry about that whole thing, but, but, uh, and, and so funny enough, so I was reading
00:16:54.860
that, I read it to my son, uh, before the interview.
00:16:57.320
And so I didn't know as we were reading through, because the way it sets up the story is there's
00:17:02.420
a number of cult potential culprits that are that, you know, the question is, we know
00:17:08.360
So there's censorship going on the, the hamsters, the ones writing the newspapers, because we
00:17:12.980
all, we all know hamsters are the best, you know, the best gossip.
00:17:15.420
They're always, they're always listening, they're always listening around, around the
00:17:24.060
And so this detective, and he's looking at, you know, numerous potential suspects for who
00:17:30.040
One sort of like this aspiring, I guess you could, I guess you could say influencer type
00:17:39.380
Um, you know, another one, there's this business, there's someone who's, you know, kind of, uh,
00:17:43.600
there's a couple of business leaders that are involved and you, you as the reader, as
00:17:47.940
well as the main character, of course, are trying to figure out who is behind the censorship.
00:17:52.880
And there's a few, um, there's a few kind of red herrings as well as to say, Oh, you
00:17:58.940
know, it's clues and storylines that are, it's not long.
00:18:04.520
Um, and then, and then it's just fun to be able to read it.
00:18:08.380
And then if your kid or your grandchild is at the certain age where they're able to follow
00:18:16.340
So, you know, it follows that same basic idea of suspect and that there's, there's a mystery
00:18:24.180
And, uh, so this book really, really struck home with him.
00:18:28.260
And then also, if you could tell us there's a few actual and brave books always does this
00:18:33.100
yours even goes to the next level because in, at the end, there's not only the activity
00:18:37.500
and discussion guide, but you've got games and puzzles at the very end of your book that
00:18:42.860
really to create this new learning experience for kids who have read the book that like it
00:18:48.020
and then, then can go on to do more interaction with the parents.
00:18:53.980
You know, I grew up in a generation that had a school house rocks on Saturday on ABC
00:18:58.020
news or ABC when you're watching your cartoons.
00:18:59.960
And so we got a dose of civic literacy every weekend and that's not happening today.
00:19:04.500
That's suffocated not only off of the networks, but in our schools and our libraries.
00:19:09.180
So brave and I helped, helped me put together some great lessons so that parents could extend
00:19:13.900
the learning, give them a school house rocks at home opportunity to start to get civics
00:19:18.620
literacy that they're being denied in the schools.
00:19:20.680
And, uh, the folks here at brave book are brilliant.
00:19:25.560
We went to Philadelphia and I got to read this to hundreds of parents and children.
00:19:31.000
One to watch the kids solve the mystery ahead of me.
00:19:35.080
Uh, but parents to come up and say, uh, there's one parent came up to me and said, you know,
00:19:38.700
I grew up, my parents told me during the Reagan years, Ronald Reagan coined the term silent
00:19:46.600
Silence is complicity in the destruction of our company.
00:19:51.180
This parent told me to see parents rally around these notions and not only train their children,
00:19:55.740
but begin speaking up at school boards, libraries, wherever they're going, really rewarding.
00:20:00.300
Exactly what our founding fathers wanted in the populace of this great country.
00:20:05.320
We just did one of those, um, that I was at with, uh, with lives with Tik TOK and Kirk Cameron
00:20:10.280
and Sean Spicer, you see, I mean, if you look at the sort of the, uh, the pantheon of brave
00:20:16.580
I think, I think we've got everyone except, uh, I don't know if we have any Trumps yet.
00:20:22.980
No, yeah, not yet, but you got to assume they're going to be on the list, right?
00:20:26.240
You got, you got to figure that's going to be, well, they don't, they don't come cheap.
00:20:30.360
So, you know, you know, they're, you know, their books aren't coming out for free on the,
00:20:35.620
But what's cool about brave books is that if you read them all, um, if you've got the
00:20:40.580
series, you'll see, there are characters that appear in different episodes.
00:20:43.520
There are, I think the city that's involved in, in yours also has a whole other, you know,
00:20:49.220
as a setting for one of the other books, it's actually the city that's under watch our lot
00:20:54.000
And, and I love the fact though, that it's finally conservatives and, and even just independence
00:21:00.180
people who are outside of the mainstream system that are coming up with cultural content
00:21:04.920
because I see this every time I talk about brave books is every time you go into a library
00:21:10.640
these days or a bookstore, the first thing you see that's presented to you is that shelf.
