My friend @AaronjMate was our very first guest on @UnfetterdSpeech. We talked Gaza, propaganda, silenced whistleblowers – and the personal cost of insisting on evidence over emotion.

Corporate media constantly presents Pentagon officials and other war profiteers as “impartial experts” rather than what they are: people with a vested interest in maintaining a permanent war economy. @YoBenCohen @upinarms_us

All of the principled, independent journalists I rely on follow in the footsteps of Bob Scheer.  Pat and I were humbled to sit down with him on @unfetterdspeech to discuss how a free press can withstand the threats of media consolidation and government suppression. Happy belated birthday, Bob.

War without a map creates its own weather. Thank you, @tparsi for joining me on @unfetterdspeech to unpack how bad assumptions, think-tank echo chambers, and breathless media narratives helped turn a coercive gambit into an open-ended conflict with Iran.

As a criminal defense attorney, I've dealt with the feds for decades, and I've gone toe to toe with them to negotiate plenty of deals. The sweetheart arrangement Jeffrey Epstein got in 2008 blows anything I've ever seen out of the water. I discussed this and more with @JeninYounesEsq and @Villgecrazylady on @PreviouslyProhibited. Watch below.
Epstein Files: The Sweetheart Deal w/ Len Goodman | Previously Prohibited Episode 60 Jenin and I speak with Chicago based criminal defense attorney Leonard Goodman and get his thoughts on the infamous sweetheart deal Jeffrey Epstein was given by the Feds in 2008. Len weighs in with the benefit of decades of experience dealing with the feds to set the record straight on just how sweet this deal really was. @JeninYounesEsq @PrevProhibited

Legacy media is withering away, writes Patrick Sullivan in @RStatecraft. The rise of independent media has shattered the grip of corporate news, seriously weakening the “fanciful and self-serving narratives” our government and its corporate backers use to shepherd America to war. responsiblestatecraft.org/le…

Max Blumenthal with the mic drop. "The Israeli regime doesn't want the media to tour Gaza for the same reason Nazi Germany didn't want the Western press to enter Buchenwald." @MaxBlumenthal @TheGrayzoneNews

Pat and I had a blast with @CoffeeandaMike, talking government corruption, the Epstein files, the decaying of public trust during COVID, and plenty more. Thanks, Mike, for the lively discussion. Hope to do it again. youtube.com/watch?v=qHXambXg…

We spoke with attorney @JeninYounesEsq about government pressure on social media, the Missouri v. Biden case, and how First Amendment protections were quietly hollowed out during the pandemic. A serious, eye-opening conversation.

In 2007, then-CIA officer @JohnKiriakou blew the whistle on official US torture practices. Our government threw him in jail for 2.5 years. He remains the only US official to do time in connection with the torture program. Not for participating in it, but for telling the truth.

I’m lucky to call @YoBenCohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s, a friend. He joined @unfetterdspeech to talk about war profiteering, the Pentagon budget, and why he believes our tax dollars should serve people, not weapons manufacturers. @upinarms_us

Pat and I spoke with Nick Cruse (@SocialistMMA), co-founder of the @RevBlackNetwork, about how independent journalism must grow beyond the political party structures. A serious conversation on @unfetterdspeech

We spoke with @AMercouris of @TheDuranReal recently about censorship in Europe, media conformity, and what happens when questioning foreign-policy orthodoxy is treated as heresy. An important conversation. @unfetterdspeech

I’ve known and admired @RalphNader a long time, and he still has a rare gift: the ability to tell hard truths without draining hope.   On @unfetterdspeech, Ralph explains how just 1% of organized citizens have changed this country before—and how we can do it again.
.@RalphNader delivers a powerful wake-up call about the state of American democracy while offering a surprisingly hopeful path forward. The renowned consumer advocate and political activist doesn't mince words about our current predicament: corporate interests have captured Congress, disconnecting our representatives from the will of the people. Yet his message isn't one of despair, but of untapped potential. Watch now and be inspired by one of America's most effective change-makers as he shares wisdom gained from a lifetime of successful activism and civic engagement.

DISPATCHES FROM A POLITICAL HIT JOB “I’m the anti-Nixon. I want the tapes played.” Hosts @GoodmanLen and Patrick Sullivan interviewed former Illinois governor, @realBlagojevich, the victim of one of the preeminent political witch hunts of the 21st century. Rod’s case laid the groundwork for the rash of malicious political lawfare we’ve seen unleashed by both party machines in recent years. Let’s break it down. (1/10)

Former Governor @realBlagojevich is the victim of one of the preeminent political witch hunts of the 21st century. Patrick and I interviewed with Rod on our new podcast, @unfetterdspeech, and broke down the unfair trial that led to his wrongful conviction and the fight to set the record straight.
