against freedom in this program because i am not going to be silent this is an egregious offense against freedom of speech the 1st amendment and a truly profoundly good journalist their speech the 1st amendment and truly profoundly good journalist here garland weigh in on this here where are the journalists ok i'm glad ray got ahead of me but darling weigh in on this here where are the journalists ok i'm glad ray got ahead of me but he's absolutely right where is the outcry here because you really have to search for it go ahead he's absolutely right where is the outcry here because you really have to search for it go ahead well one of the journalists are getting locked up the journalists are in bellmawr head. well the journalists are getting locked up the journalists are in bellmawr belmarsh prison the stenographers for the deep state or running around masking as your belmarsh prison the stenographers for the deep state or running around masking as a journalist masquerading as

a journalist so you know the reality is they're not really worried or concerned about until it master reading is journalists so that you know the reality is they're not really worried or concerned about it you know a lot of people will talk about you know a sonder max blumenthal and say wild it you know a lot of people will talk about you know a sonder max blumenthal and say why aren't the other journalists standing up for them because eventually their next will the reality of the other journalists standing up for them because eventually their next will the reality is what we have now that's passing is journalism isn't next you're not going to be next if he is what we have now that's passing is journalism isn't next you're not going to be next if you are spouting you know if you're a spouse in the premises that the deep state want you to you are spouting you know if you're a spouse in the premises that the deep state want you to spells you're not going to be next so they're very very safe i want to add this you know a lot of people spells you're not going to be next so they're very very safe i want to add this you know a lot of people don't know this in my previous career i was in law enforcement and

i was retired when i retired i was a major i was a can go no this in my previous career i was in law enforcement and i was retired when i retired i was a major i was a commander of the investigations divisions so i would handle particular these types of incidents commander of the investigations divisions so i would handle particular these types of incidents and i think one thing that's important to look at here is we've got a minor incident on alleged minor and i think one thing that's important to look at here is we've got a minor incident on alleged minor incident lead if it were me when i was the commander of the investigations division i would have simply said the incident lead if it were me when i was the commander of the investigations division i would have simply said to the person you need to go down to the court fill out an application for a statement of charges and the person. you need to go down to the court fill out an application for a statement of charges and mr blumenthal will be served with a summons and you can go to court there was no need to take the aggressor blumenthal will be served with a summons and you can go to court there was no need to take the aggressive action

they did and sinned basically a team of officers for an unarmed person of action they did and sinned basically a team of officers for an unarmed person with no history of violence so that i think that's the key to understanding it seeing that the the over with no history of violence so that i think that's the key to understanding it seeing that the the overwhelming force that they're using against journalists with no history of violence or doing really any welding force that they're using against journalists with no history of violence or doing really anything that would that would make them a liability or a danger to police officers responding you think that would that would make them a liability or a danger to police officers responding yeah dan i mean from what the accounts that i've heard in this is from ben norton also at the gray zone is that swatch or a swat like dan i mean from what the accounts that i've heard in this is from ben norton also at the gray zone is that a swatch or a swat like officers came to max's residence at 9 o'clock in the more

officers came to max's residence at 9 o'clock in the morning why do you need that kind of fire power i mean. morning why do you need that kind of fire power i mean max blumenthal is on the record of saying if you just summoned me i would have shown up why do they need to use these kind thoughts on the record of saying if you just summoned me i would have shown up why do they need to use these kind of tactics here is it just pure intimidation go ahead dan yes it's pure and of tactics here is it just pure intimidation go ahead dan yes it's pure intimidation there was no need to do it as a police matter again this is an intimidation there. there's no need to do it as a police matter again this is a 5 month old misdemeanor warrant the 5 month old misdemeanor warrant that they acted upon and as you said they

surrounded his home they acted upon and as you said they surrounded his home and it threatened to knock down his door if he didn't come out he was arrested he was shot and to knock down his door if he didn't come out he was arrested he was shackled he was held incommunicado for 36 hours shackled he was held incommunicado for 36 hours not even able to call his own more europe there was no reason there's not even able to call his own more europe there was no reason for such a. very minor charge for such a a very minor charge to treat him in this way this was clearly a politically motivated stunt treat him in this way this was clearly a politically motivated stunt to intimidate max to intimidate journalists like

max to intimidate max to intimidate other journalists like max in it shameful and the other thing the chain will as we've touched upon in it shameful and the other thing the chain will as we've touched upon is that this is getting virtually no coverage in the press is that this is getting virtually no coverage in the press you know this because the mine statement by john pilger a journalist in great you know this because to mine a statement by john pilger a journalist in great britain he said what passes for journalism today is anti journal what britain. what passes for journalism today is anti journalism and i totally agree with you know i mean the message is being and i told the agree with you know i mean the message is being sent here and you have to toe the line here

and i really want viewers of this programming sent here and you have to toe the line here and i really want viewers of this program to take a look at some of the work that gray zone is done it's extremely good him to take a look at some of the work that gray zone is done it's extremely good extremely professional and it pushes back against narratives extremely professional and it pushes back against narratives that we're just fed every single day i mean the work he's done on venezuela for example he goes down there all the while c.n.n. is say there is no toothpaste in the supermarket there's no washing powder there's nose shampoo people are eating their pets and then max goes into a grocery store and says well there's a lot of stuff here a lot of varieties he for example he goes down there all the while c.n.n. is say there is no toothpaste in the supermarket there's no washing powder there's nose shampoo people are eating their pets and then max go figure grocery store and

says well there's a lot of stuff here a lot of varieties here different prices and a lot i mean what he did was it was tongue in cheek but it was very factual different prices and a lot i mean what he did was it was tongue in cheek but it was very factual at the same time i mean what they were saying on the mainstream networks was completely false oh cool at the same time i mean what they were saying on the mainstream networks was completely false ok and he has the audacity to show them up and they don't k. and he has the audacity to show them up and they don't like that and the mainstream media that one of the reasons why these journalists don't say the same thing is they don't like the competition because gray zone r t the stock we're going. more and more eyeballs and they don't like it go ahead ray well that's the big danger that they perceive you know they have to control it sort of thing and say i don't like the competition because gray zone r.t. crosstalk we're getting more and more eyeballs and they don't like it go ahead ray

well that's the big danger that they perceive you know they have to control it sort of thing and if it takes intimidation if it takes trying to kill john terry kiriakou as if it takes intimidation if it takes trying to kill john terry kiriakou as it happened 2 years ago when they did a very usual that happened 2 years ago when they did a very usual sort of traffic thing to trap him in his vest but that's what it takes for that now look sort of traffic thing to trap him in his vest but that's what it takes for that now. we had the head of the cia bill casey. we had the head of the cia bill casey almost 40 years ago saying quote we know when i almost 40 years ago saying quote. we know when our dissent from a sion campaign is complete whenever our dissent from

a sion campaign is complete when everything in the american people believe is false period and quote how i know everything in the american people believe is false period and quote how i know that barbara hanukah a friend of my was there when he said it she immediately read that barbara hanukah a friend of my was there when he said it she immediately reported to the press so if you want the american people to be obedient report it to the press so if you want the american people to be obedient and know only what the mainstream media wants you to hear within max bush and know only what the mainstream media want you to hear within max blumenthal and arran matej and a lot of these young guys and ben norton who are worst moment all and arran matej and a lot of these young guys and ben norton who were standing up for this thing and and

saying not only the truth about venezuela but about syria ending up for this thing and and saying not only the truth about venezuela but about syria and of course a very important point max blumenthal wrote that book about a lot called life and what it's really like in israel and that put him in the dog and of course a very important point max blumenthal wrote that book about a lot called life and what it's really like to israel and that put him in the doghouse with all yet with all the mainstream media people who let's face it our own house for the all yet with all the mainstream media people who let's face it are underling influenced by people who can't distinguish between the objectives and to really influenced by people who can't distinguish between the objectives and the interests of israel on the one hand and of the united states on the other you know the interests of israel on the one hand and of the united. states on the other you know garland i will mention all these important points of the gray zone and you

know garland i will mention all these important points that the great zone and max and ben and aaron have been working on here but these are these are 3rd rails acts and ben and aaron i've been working on here but these are these are 3rd rail speakers not only there's an interesting confluence here you have mainstream media that is angry because not only there's an interesting confluence here you have mainstream media that is angry that the real reporting is being done by real journalists here and then you have policy makers that have a real reporting is being done by real journalists here and then you have policy makers that are being shown up for what they're doing all around the world and when they are being shown up for what they're doing all around the world and with the mainstream media and use the term deep state or the intelligence community they live mainstream media and use the term deep state or the intelligence community they live off of each other and that's why they do not like people like us or max

go ahead give off of each other and that's why they do not like people like us or max go ahead garland well the other thing is that let's look at what happened here a couple weeks ago with hilary arlen well the other thing is that let's look at what happened here a couple weeks ago with hillary clinton you know clinton i can tell you know also attack getting to the good or bad her face really basically being a russian. over her over her you know you know and her and eventually positions but then there's a you know you know. anything and it kind of insidious underlying movement going on with that with insidious underlying movement going on with that with the elitist to basically go after people who are challenging any of the tropes that their lead is to basically go after people who are challenging. any of the troops that they're putting forward and i think of a big part of it is to to have

a chilling effect on of putting forward and i think of a big part of it is to to have a chilling effect on others right now you know i do a show every morning here in washington d.c. it's 3 hours it's a very it's there's right now you know i do a show every morning here in washington d.c. it's 3 hours it's a very it's a radio show on sputnik i have had friends of mine tell me oh i like to listen to the radio show on sputnik i have had friends of mine tell me oh i like to listen to your show but i'm afraid to call in because i work for the i'm a government employee where d.c. a lot of government is show but i'm afraid to call in because i work for the i'm a government employee for d.c. a lot of government employees i'm afraid to call in because i don't want to get in trouble or i'll call in but please i'm afraid to call in because i don't want to get in trouble or i'll call in but i'm going to use a fake name because i work for the work for the government so the sad part of it is this chilling effect that they're intending is working and i think it's a very dangerous i'm going to use a fake name because i work for the work for the government so that the sad part of

it is this chilling effect that they're intending is working and i think it's a very dangerous time not just in the united states but in in the west where this is this is starting to permeate time not just in the united states but in in the west where this is this is starting to permeate throughout our entire society well you know garland want to tell you it's very interesting i've been throughout our entire society well you know garland want to tell you it's very interesting i've been told by a number of people. people that work for the u.s. state department are told by a number of people. people that work for the u.s. state department aren't allowed to watch r t i don't know what that means they can't watch it they work with a allowed to watch r t i don't know what that means they can't watch it work or they can't watch it at home with they've been told you know not to watch r t and watch it at home with they've been told you know not to watch r t. because we we tended to target them which i know

because we we tended to target them which i know you're right ray ok i mean you know make sure you keep the parameters of him from a right ray ok i mean you know make sure you keep the parameters of information very confined you know get everything has to be controlled ok that's what they want we should very confined you know get everything has to be controlled ok that's what they want do not let in the sunshine in because that will that will destroy their narrative i'm going to jump in do not let any sunshine in because that will that will destroy their narrative ok i'm going to jump in here we're going to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on the speech freedom state with our in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on the speech freedom state with our 2.

welcome across. welcome across talk we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing speech freedom. for all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing speech freedom. ok let's go back to dan and pittsburg here i thought. ok let's go back to dan and pittsburgh here i find it really truly amazing but not surprising is that the main street it really truly amazing but not surprising is that the mainstream media will overlook one of its own smacks blumenthal actually they're not even the same the media will overlook one of its own smacks blumenthal actually they're not even the same group that maxes in a different group entirely in real journalists but you know their group max is in

a different group entirely real journalists but you know that all of this. talk about this whistle blower you know then you have to read all of this. talk about this whistleblower you know the new afterward we have to protect whistleblowers you know this one with the ukraine and all of that well he's just a leak we have to protect whistleblowers you know this one with the ukraine and all of that well he's just a leaker ok but there's more concern for someone that in that is damaging her ok but there's more concern for someone that in that is damaging. the political process undermining a duly elected in. the political process undermining a duly elected president irrespective if you like trump or not this kind of behavior is it is present irrespective if you like trump or not this kind of behavior is it is it is what it is it's treason here but they'll be they'll be

wanting to protect the rights of it is what it is it's treason here but they'll be they'll be wanting to protect the rights of this person here but they don't even speak up for someone that is doing a truly good job in journal of this person here but they don't even speak up for someone that is doing a truly good job in journalism like max blumenthal all of the priorities are wrong here go ahead dan yes i'm like max blumenthal all of the priorities are wrong here go ahead dan. yes well i mean i think you hit the nail on the head i mean the reason they don't like this one i mean i think you hit the nail on the head i mean the reason they don't like max blumenthal is frankly he's a real journalist he's exposing very serious max blumenthal is frankly he's a real journalist he's exposing very serious flaws that the american people need to see as you mentioned this flaws that the american people need to see as you mention is exposed in the 3rd row in american politics and notice the cruelty that it's

been is exposed in the 3rd row in american politics and notice the cruelty that is being visited upon the palestinian people for example. in the case of the visited upon the palestinian people for example. in the case of the so called whistleblower that the mainstream press is following so called whistleblower of the mainstream press is falling all over that individual. you know over that individual. you know leak information that is ready for prime time because it continues information that is ready for prime time because it continues to push this narrative. of trump as to push this narrative. of trump as some kind of stooge of mascara and as someone.

some kind of stooge of mascara and as someone. who is a bad on foreign policy because he wants to get out of war who is a bad on foreign policy because he wants to get out of wars. so that individual is applauded while. so that individual is employed. while someone like lumet all who exposes things that under must someone lie luminol who exposes things that undermine u.s. foreign policy and undermine u.s. intervention. he is valid u.s. foreign policy and undermined u.s. intervention and he is vilified or just simply ignored and that's what's happening here they want to give. or just simply ignore it and that's what's happening here they want to give him the light of day to mention that he was arrested and treated

in this in the light of day to mention that he was arrested and treated in this way you know i went with so nefarious about all of this. you know i went with so nefarious about all of this is and i'm glad dan brought up this point about the rule and i'm glad dan brought up this point about the ruling class the political elites always pushing a war and conflict here. the political elites always pushing a war and conflict here this is what's really sad you have a bipartisan consensus that intervention is this is what's really sad you have a bipartisan consensus that intervention is a good thing and it must must never end the war is must never and the troops must never come home it's a good thing and it must must never end the wars must never and the troops must never come home there's always another monster to be slayed out in the world they

continue this narrative is always another monster to be slayed out in the world they continue this narrative here and then when you have a small number of very very smart and articulate and devoted here and then when you have a small number of very very smart and articulate individuals that use social media and use these platforms to really push vigils that use social media and use these platforms. really push back you have this you have this bipartisan consensus and you have their lackey back you have this you have this bipartisan consensus and you have their lackeys in the media that perpetuate this narrative and that's why they will never use in the media that perpetuate this narrative and that's why they will never talk about what happened to max movement all and probably the violation of his civil rights rape talk about what happened to max movement all and probably the violation of his civil rights rape. well tulsi gabbert is saying no more regime

change wars now that both tulsi gabbert is saying no more regime change wars now that's a certain has a certain resonance among americans. who are so certain has a certain resonance among americans. who defends her by exploring paul you know he shows how clinton is who defends her by exploring paul you know he shows how clinton is sort of going off the gun off the deep end ok so that's one charge against him going off the gun off the deep end ok so that's one charge against him i think stepping back here you have to go back to the old bible here king about those i think stepping back here you have to go back to the old bible here king about those are from babylon who is who saw the handwriting on the wall rice are from babylon who is who saw the handwriting on the wall right well the handwriting

on the wall in this case is meant to show people well the handwriting on the wall in this case is meant to show people like woman fall and those who had leaked to him important like woman fall and those who had leaked to him important fact there. that they had writings on the wall we're going to get you going to get boom of the fact there. that they had writings on the wall we're going to get you going to get blumenthal 1st then we'll get to ok and so here is max and erin meant to say and 1st then we'll get to and so here is max and erin meant to say and then norton performing basically what julian of signage instead ben norton performing basically what julian of songe dance to do and bradley manning with chelsea manning and people will go to him now unless you and bradley manning were chelsea manning and people will go to him now unless he. shutdown now the interesting thing will be to

see what how do the courts i guess he shut down now the interesting thing will be to see what how the courts act to this because the courts seem to be the last resource here they have thrown into this because the courts seem to be the last resource here they have thrown big big cold water on russia gate courts big big cold water on russia gate courts been saying look you can't get that a guy from something that didn't happen max is on to there i've been saying look you can't is that a guy from something that didn't happen max is on to that so as aaron it's a this is what they really afraid of the american people were so as aaron it's a this is what they really afraid of the american people realize hey this was the you were misinformed in the classic sense that bill cage realize hey this was the you were misinformed in the classic sense that bill casey bragged about in february

of 1981 she bragged about in february of 1981 you know darlene you know you and i are in the same line of business you do radio i do television you know darlin you know you and i are in the same line of business you do radio i do television. what is your sense of why these journalists do not reality. what is your sense of why these journalists do not react to this what why have they abandoned their profession what what is it for them is it just to this what why have they abandoned their profession what what is it for them is it just celebrity as that money is it vanity is it celebrity as that money is it vanity is it trying to score points i mean what is it i mean i've i've met a number of trying to score points i mean what is it i mean i've i've met a number of western journalists over the years privately one on one and they don't

like journalists over the years privately one on one and they don't like hard questions at all they said well you know how it is peter i would say what i know tell me how hard questions it all they said well you know how it is peter i would say what i know tell me how it is ok because i don't understand what you guys are doing but it is ok because i don't understand what you guys are doing but equally you all repeat the same talking points do you guys get the same memo every morning are you all repeat the same talking points do you guys get the same memo every morning i don't get a memo from amy buddy ok i mean from your perspective i don't get a memo from amy buddy ok i mean from your perspective as a journalist i mean how do you how do you explain their behavior and why are they the antithesis of journalists i mean how do you how do you explain their behavior and why are they the antithesis of max blumenthal go ahead garland. well and here

is that is max blumenthal go ahead garland. well and here's the difference max won't blumenthal is an investigative journalist and he's searching to find the answer the difference max won't blumenthal is an investigative journalist and that he's searching to find the answer these are people who in my opinion are searching to move up in there are people who. in my opinion are searching to move up in their you know field of employment basically so they're it we're looking at people who you know they see the 30 year old of employment basically so there it we're looking at people who you know they see the 3rd rails and they see what happens to people like. gabbert or drills and they see what happens to people like. gabbert or you know in the instance of journalism actually lumen thought and the message is clear to them if you want to move you know in the instance of journalism actually lumen thought and the message is clear to them if you want to move up if you want to get that 10 or $12000000.00

a year you've got to be like rachel maddow if you want to get that 10 or $12000000.00 a year you've got to be like rachel maddow and you got to scream russia and putin 10 times you know every every 5 minutes and you got to scream russia and putin 10 times you know every every 5 minutes and if you want to lose your job and go to jail you're like max lu and also the message is being sent to the and if you want to lose your job and go to jail you're like max lu and also the message is being sent to these people and it's clear this is about to change what i call you know what i was people and it's clear this is about to change what i call you know what i consider a total change in american media where they have pretty much they don't i consider a total change in american media where they have pretty much they don't have to get an email or a fax anymore from the cia they just put the people that have to get an e-mail or a fax anymore from the cia they just put the people that write the middle of the facts as they hire them and put them on t.v.

so my position is right the middles are the facts as they hire them and put them on t.v. so my position is what we're calling media now is something totally different we even need a different name for it it's a look at public relations operations for big corporations for the military industrial complex what we're calling media now is something totally different we even need a different name for it it's a look at. public relations operations for big corporations for the military industrial complex and for the for the government and it's time we start calling them out for what they are you know act and for the for the government and it's time we start calling them out for what they are you know dan i guess i'm kind of going to date myself with my question for you here but you know when i began i guess i'm kind of going to date myself with my question for you here but you know when i was growing up it was liberals were always suspicious of power suspicion i was growing up it was liberals who were always suspicious of power suspicious of the cia suspicious of the f.b.i.

suspicious of law enforcement in general of the cia suspicious of the f.b.i. suspicious of law enforcement in general now they're all in bed with each other you know you see this clapper and roll now they're all in bed with each other you know you see this clapper and brennan on t.v. all the time a cave i mean you know this is this is such a sick man brandon on t.v. all the time make a but i mean you know this is this is such a sick marriage in the hell that they're just one now that one is an extension of the other an era jim the hell hole they're just one now that one is an extension of the other now and that is why i mean i'm a conservative ok and max blumenthal now and that is why i mean i'm a conservative ok and max blumenthal and his guys are they're progressive to the left ok but they get this one right all in his guys sort of their progressive to the left ok but they get this one right they get this right and that's what make it

angers the condiment they get this right and that's what make it angers the condominium of the media and the intelligence community to go ahead dan. any i'm of the media and the intelligence community go ahead dan. a lot of this are really come into focus and really it all. after this we saw our really come into focus and really accelerate with this phony russia gate narrative you know accelerate with this phony russia gate narrative you know which has pushed a lot of liberals and into thinking she said that the cia which has pushed a lot of liberals in into thinking it she said that the cia and the f.b.i. is their friend only know that both of those organizations in the f.b.i. is their friend only know that both of those organizations have. repressed

movement for social case of over preston repressed movement for social change both in the united states and in other countries and yet now they're being glorified beach both in the united states and in other countries and yet now they're being glorified in again this phony russia gate there to help that to happen and again this phony russia gate there to help that to happen it only could have happened because the media has been so good it only could have happened because the media has been so uniform in pushing it and not questioning questioning it uniform in pushing it and not questioning questioning it i think we're at a very low point in american journalism without question i think we're at a very low point in american journalism without question in the. other question you

know why are general initially so accurate other aquatic you know why are journalists questioning me send it to you because you're not going to be a journalist for long if you know what happens to you because you're not going to be a journalist for long if you didn't question that you know maximum and all started own out of lebanon you know matter. blumenthal started his own web page his own media outlet to get these views that he's barely eking out a living page his own media outlet to get these views that he's barely eking out a living doing it and that's because he is telling the truth he is doing it and that's because he is telling the truth he is the baby's in very difficult questions and he can put up the reward so that he will be punished in general a slur on the sorts of lessons very quickly baby's in very difficult questions and

he can without being rewarded for that he will be punished in general a slur on these sorts of lessons very quickly and he has to be very close to being willing to stock price to get the police and he has to be very close to being willing to sacrifice to get it without there's not many journalists like that who are willing to do that ira i side with out there's not many journalists like that who are willing to do that ira i saw you nodding your head why are you agreeing. well all i can say is a man you nodding your head why are you agreeing. well all i can say is amen to a dentist said but i'd like to add that you know this is vicious to a dentist said but i'd like to add that you know this is vicious him playing for keeps. when it comes out from him playing for keeps. when it comes out from the special prosecutor durham and from the eye of the

what these people don't understand is their power is in their anonymity their strength is in people not knowing what these people don't understand is their power 9 is in their anonymity their strength is in people not knowing what they do but nothing makes the tree grow like pruning it they're trying to cut people in what they do but nothing makes the tree grow like pruning it they're trying to cut people off at the root and that's going to cause people to push back more and to want to know what they're trying to hide off at the root and that's going to cause people to push back more and to want to know what they're trying to hide. i think ultimately this comes back to bite him in the butt and that it's going to expand i think ultimately this comes back to bite him in the butt and that it's going to expand. independent media rather than rather than make it smaller good point there it's all the time independent media rather than rather than make it smaller good point there it's all the time we have gentlemen many thanks to my guests in raleigh washington and in pittsburgh and thanks to our viewers for watching we have
