The Ghislaine Maxwell trial will have its closing arguments today. Next, Project Veritas names a Jake Tapper producer in an alleged underage photo scandal. Third, new emails have been released that show Fauci and Francis Collins colluded to smear anti-lockdown scientists early on in the pandemic. And finally, a former Harvard chemistry chair has admitted to taking tens of thousands of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party. All this on today's Human Events Daily.
00:00:00.000Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by Turning Point USA, and coming to you live from the floor.
00:00:09.980We are now at Media Row. It was very early this morning that we were recording this, but we are at AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:00:17.520Sunny, the Sun Valley, the Valley of the Sun, here in Phoenix, Arizona, where I will be speaking this afternoon.
00:00:26.320The Ghislaine Maxwell trial will have its closing arguments today.
00:00:29.320Next, Project Veritas has named a Jake Tapper producer in an alleged underage photo scandal.
00:00:36.060Third, new emails have been released that show Fauci and Francis Collins colluded to smear anti-lockdown scientists early on in the pandemic.
00:00:44.840And finally, a former Harvard chemistry chair has admitted to taking tens of thousands of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party.
00:00:51.620All this on We're Head, Human Events Daily.
00:01:25.960Well, it means that the entire case for Ghislaine Maxwell, and we actually have to crunch the numbers on this because I'm fairly certain that if you go date by date, day by day, hour by hour, crunch this down, you will actually find that the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was longer than the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.
00:01:43.680Ghislaine Maxwell, remember, she's on trial for what? Child sex trafficking, right?
00:01:48.980Bringing and recruiting underage children across state lines, taking them for the purpose of sexual activity with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:01:56.560And we are told through accuser after accuser after accuser of being involved in international rings in terms of this, whether it be from France, whether it be from London with members of the royal family involved like Prince Andrew,
00:02:08.500whether it be all the way down to the Caribbean, to Little St. James Island, Palm Beach, New Mexico, et cetera, et cetera, the list goes on.
00:02:15.560But apparently the prosecution team, and we've talked about this before, which is headed by James Comey's own daughter, his hand-picked successor at the SDNY,
00:02:24.520the most politicized, the most politicized district in the entire federal government, the same district, by the way, that is going after James O'Keefe for the crime of doing journalism that embarrasses the regime.
00:02:37.660Instead of actually going through and giving us an inquest, explaining to us what took place vis-a-vis Ghislaine Maxwell, no, they're not doing that.
00:02:46.340Instead, they are giving us a very clean, a very quick, very speedy and swift trial, which of course is constitutional.
00:02:53.380But at the same time, they are keeping all of the details and documents private.
00:02:57.900They made deals with Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team so that the 20,000 images that the FBI collected, the little black book, they are not coming out.
00:03:07.380Tonight, Ghislaine Maxwell speaking in court for the first time since her high-profile trial began, declining to testify in her own defense, telling the judge,
00:03:18.400Your Honor, the government has not proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and so there's no reason for me to testify.
00:03:25.000Maxwell faces charges of perjury, and there are other credibility issues that the government would skewer her on the stand with.
00:03:33.020The former British socialite charged with six sex-related trafficking counts, pleading not guilty to all of them.
00:03:39.460But as we were doing show prep today, I went and I, of course, I'm going DailyMail.com because you got to love, I don't know how it is, Daily Mail, right?
00:03:46.780They get these stories that nobody else seems to get in terms of our own country, what's going on.
00:03:50.940That being said, of course, Ghislaine Maxwell, she is British, they're a British tabloid.
00:03:54.740They had a source, and there's a quote, and it's, of course, halfway through the article, so you've got to read all these things.
00:04:00.000I've actually found my new trick for when I'm reading mainstream media articles.
00:04:14.520Ghislaine Maxwell could start naming names to prosecutors if she is found guilty of child sex trafficking charges at a U.S. court this week in a deal to cut her sentence or get better conditions in jail, according to a legal source close to Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:04:32.100And, of course, why would we say, they say, Jack, why would you believe something that a British tabloid is saying about Ghislaine Maxwell?
00:04:40.460How could they possibly, how could the British tabloids have these type of sources?
00:05:36.600And so I say to everyone in the federal government, preserve your documents, because this trial, this case, this situation is not ending.
00:05:45.100And we need a congressional commission to find out what was going on with Epstein, with the entire network, with every single person in that little black book.
00:05:56.700Project Veritas' latest release was just taken down from Twitter.
00:07:14.280So a story we covered last week a little bit, talking about CNN.
00:07:18.960And Project Veritas had released leaked audio.
00:07:21.800They also had a source who came forward with it, talking about what they claimed was a CNN producer who was soliciting photos of underage girls.
00:07:32.000Project Veritas afterwards, of course, we reached out to them.
00:07:34.560Many people reached out to them, and they said, do you have the name of the CNN producer?
00:07:39.640Because in that article, in that release they put out, the great James O'Keefe, they didn't actually name who the CNN producer was.
00:07:47.500And we said, we'd like to know for the purposes of reporting the story.
00:07:50.860Project Veritas, to their credit, later that day, released the name of the producer.
00:07:55.840And his name is Rick Salibi, the staffer in question, who's alleged to have made these comments.
00:08:01.800And he is a producer for Jake Tapper at CNN.
00:08:06.360Listen to that audio to remind everybody just how depraved this actually was.
00:18:56.740I don't know if she's listening to this today, but there might be a certain little lady who might be getting a bathrobe and some towels and a few other items this year under the Christmas tree at the POSO household this Christmas.
00:19:47.660I guess there's many ways to get tenure at Harvard, but the only two ways to be able to get funding.
00:19:52.440One CCP and the other is Jeffrey Epstein.
00:19:54.900So from the Epoch Times, the former chair of Harvard's University Chemistry Department, accused of hiding Chinese ties, has admitting to taking tens of thousands of dollars from China in a video presented to the federal courts December 2017 shows.
00:20:10.520The video shot during federal investigators interrogation of nanoscientist Charles Lieber was played for jurors during the Friday court hearing, the fourth day of the trial on Lieber's alleged false statements about China funding.
00:20:25.160The 62-year-old Harvard professor has maintained that he didn't take payments from a Chinese university except for the compensation of his travel costs to China.
00:20:34.720But he shifted his account quickly after the FBI and their agents accosted him with copies of evidence, including a bilingual contract that he signed with.
00:20:44.360And by the way, does anybody need to ask at this point, if you've been paying attention, where do you think that the Harvard scientist signed his contract?
00:20:56.420Think of all of China, all the cities of China, thousands and thousands of cities to choose from.
00:21:01.560We know Beijing and Shanghai. Beijing's the capital. Shanghai's the most populous city.
00:21:07.420What city did the Harvard professor, the head of their chemistry department, did he choose to make a deal with when he took tens of thousands of dollars?
00:21:16.760By the way, $50,000 a month with approximately $158,000 in living expenses.
00:21:24.100This is part of the CCP's Thousand Talents Plan.
00:21:26.500And I don't think anybody in the audience, within the sound of my voice, will be surprised to hear that the university that he chose was the Wuhan University of Technology.
00:21:39.200For some reason, out of the entire scope of the People's Republic of China, he was able to go and pluck just at random.
00:21:47.700Maybe, I don't know, maybe he threw a dart at a board or something, just stuck his finger on a map and said, yeah, Wuhan, that sounds good.
00:21:53.780All the way back, I kid you not, 2011.
00:21:58.260How deep does the rabbit hole of Wuhan go?
00:22:02.060This is why they didn't want to release any information about what went down in Wuhan.
00:22:07.320They didn't want to release the origin of COVID-19 because they knew that the minute you started asking questions about Wuhan,
00:22:13.320that it would not only fall on the CCP and their scientists and whether or not the PLA was actually involved in a program there,
00:22:20.960that it was going to uncover everyone from the U.S., from our academia, and from our National Institute of Health.
00:22:27.840Well, that is all the time we have for Human Events Daily, recording here live.
00:22:33.000I know you guys hear the noise, the hustle and bustle around us as the crowds fill in here at AmericaFest, Phoenix, Arizona,
