[000:00:00;00] the the europeans are told a better stock up on food and supplies in case of a war with russia. that's the fight. most gal repeatedly saying it has no such intention. talk show host tucker carlson says the white house isn't panic about tearing a trump return to the oval office will expose all of their dirty secrets and a jewish american journalist, jeremy laredo safely returns to the us after being arrested in israel last month over his coverage of the aftermath of in a rainy and missile stripe, the

just after 70, i'm here on the russian capital and you're watching our to international. my name's donald corder. great to have you on the program. our top story. russia's potential war on europe is a top tier security issue for the european union. that's according to a report by the special advisor to the european commission president who listed the for part of future conflict with moscow, alongside other legit threats like climate change and another pandemic. we do not have a clear plan on what you will do in the event of armed aggression against a member of state, the threat to for post by russia to europe and security forces us to address this as a central piece of our preparedness without undermining the work to prepare for other major threats. this includes those connected to disruptions to the global economy. disasters doing by climate change or another pandemic. the you already led by a queen. ursula vander line, whom as during the defense minister, had troops using grooms, maybe, or maybe not from your own personal closet. instead,

guys from military exercises since she so badly bought. the budget now is just decided that she really wants to focus on defense for the because she gets such a bang up job of it at the national level where she's actually elected. um, so she ordered the for her finish prime minister. uh sally. nice though. back in march to draw a report on you military preparedness and she's basically made defense her. busy all new obsession, and the block has even just created a new defense commissioner position. so there seems to be the slippery slope recently towards making the e u. a true super national state with re galion powers like warfare and spying events. this new report says that the you needs a quote, fully fledged intelligence cooperation service at the level that can serve both the strategic and operational needs. so that would be used by emissions. in other words, it also says that that you needs

a 1000000 cyber security experts. all this is because of russia, of course. oh, and also because of climate change and pen dynamics. all other really scary stuff that can never possibly go away. otherwise, it's all just a giant waste of money and maybe they have to spend days on these are actually accountable if you get economics domestic affairs, things like that, that actually help the people. but um, if there's a damage to more national security stuff, is that citizens can't we sleep better at night? right? uh, not quite because the report says that citizens are actually now supposed to start loading up themselves, stockpiling food drinks and medicine. oh, they forgot toilet paper. that was a big one that we saw during co bed, inexplicably. maybe they're a propos, new c, i a style spy agency would've figured that went out. oh, and this saw you preparedness report also went out of its way to shells for ukraine in passing, which isn't an actual you country. but why not?

i guess the you should maintain and further strengthen its capacity to deliver military support to ukraine for as long as it takes is critical to keep ukraine in a position to defend himself against the russian invasion. this leads to the urgent need to further ramp up defense production capacity. you must also be ready to feel any possible gaps in the event of a diminished level of support for ukraine from the us. so you could basically put at ukraine in the basket with all those other perennial threats that help keep the cash moving into the national security complex. and it's just a giant black hole at this point. it's not like all the cash that's supposed to be going to ukraine is actually making it to the front lines in ukraine. even keith says that it's only saying a fraction of it, like 10 percent of the cash that's actually allocated. so it's obviously ending up getting unloaded somewhere else into unknown pockets on the way over. and this is obviously happening to the point where ukraine has even been straight up telling me

poland to just sort of give some sort of their own weapons like hey, you guys seem to have stash, we need them. so just just hand them over. so i would do so could you look through them at the we really wanted to give, make fighter jets from poland, but they could not give them to us because they did not have enough of their own. that's why we agreed with nato that they would assign them to a police mission, just like our baltic friends who do not have their own planes, but have such a mission. we agreed on this, but after that, polling give us the planes, you know, was there another reason we yes, among the countries helping crane, if you take into account military, financial, economic, humanitarian, hate, and 83 crane universities in proportion to gdp ball and has done more free crane than any other country we're trying to help, but we are also frontline country. russia is also threatening us and not everything is possible. this

e report comes across as another tool to heard public opinion in the direction of war profiteers and the western war lobby using the say to that we've heard about a 1000000 times before. if do it in readings in ukraine, there's a rigorous that's his aggression. it will not, and there are support is not to try to do it is an investment in our security. so russia case, explicitly giving the side i to all of this rhetoric coming from western officials and rejecting their attempted conflictions with the conflict in ukraine, will go with the interest of the leadership of the united states and nato, saying that a for russia wins. and ukraine, now the next ones are nato countries. why do we need natal countries? we don't need them. we didn't need them, we don't need them, and we will not need them in the future. and why did they say that to encourage them to pay money? that's what it's for, look, whatever happens at least europeans will have their battery powered radio that they've just been asked in this new report to go run out and buy. so at least they

can keep listening to this for clowns. so there's just under 4 days to go until the american people started heading to the polling stations to pick their 47th president. it's expected to be a close race right until the end. and we'll be keeping you updated with our special coverage here on our, to international the the democrats are shaking in their boots about being sent packing from the white house because donald trump knows where all the bodies are buried. that's the claim of talk, show host tucker carlson, who's been holding a fundraiser in arizona alongside the republican candidate with the main reason they don't want. donald trump back in washington is something called disclosure.

they're very concerned that if donald trump comes back to washington, we're going to find out what's happened to the $100000000000.00 that we sent. you create over the past 2, and that's what happened to the money. there's never been an audit of it. what do you think it when have you been to mclean recently? yeah. it's not just one or body by the way. 100 buying. i mean, this great credit was so high on crap. you couldn't steal half as much as you know, your each, your average contractor in washington. and they're terrified if donald trump gets back when he comes back with an army of people who know exactly what's up. they know what's going on. they know where the bodies are likely to be buried, and they're coming with shovels to dig a month with the election clock ticking down. there's some bad news for the democratic candidate, kamala harris. a new paul predicts that she's set to lose a significant slice of her party's traditional share of support among indian

american voters. and estimated 61 percent of respondents from the community still plan to back harris. but that's down 4 percent compared to the last presidential election in 2020. and it's not just the candidate. they're turning away from the party as well. 47 percent of respondents currently identified as democrats, but that is down from 56 percent in 2020. that says arrival. donald trump found to fight for the rights of hindus in the united states. and jo, a big load hindus across the world. and in america, they have been a disaster from israel to ukraine to our own southern border. but we will make america strong again and bring back peace through strength. we will also protect him. do americans against the anti religion agenda of the radical left? we will fight for your freedom. under my administration. we will also strengthen our great partnership with india and my good friend prime minister,

moody. i looked about and saw as the director of the india foundation. and he told us that he can do support for the democrats has been sliding. but no matter, it's the deep state that makes the top decisions, not the president. the indian model is important and it does have an impact, especially indians have the capacity to influence even other waters. the majority of the environmental types of workers, at least a few decades back. and the number of indian supporting democrats had been to do things consistently in the last 2 months. i personally fees on some of these issues . the us beat state, actually excellence on. and i think the incoming precedence you believe to control such developments is also fairly limited like this bangladesh issue. i haven't really not been disturbed by the united states. was you to talk to the government a few because he knows who was fighting the ready go slums. and hadn't goodness

bangladesh of such extremist elements of the reasons best known to them. the americans collaborated in proper to have government den today by my dish is in danger of becoming a bit of a gun, a saw. and i think that should be a cause for concern not only for bangladesh and the but for the the way that outage a jewish american journalist has safely returns to the united states after an ordeal in which he was detained by his real, for simply doing his job jeremy le freight on how it was arrested by the idea at gun point after he reported on the aftermath of around missile strikes on israel last month. here's how the gray zone corresponding himself described what he went through. after his railey soldiers blindfolded, detained, and accuse me of providing information to the enemy during war time, for my investigative reporting, i wasn't sent to

a facility designated for americans or journalists. instead they placed me in solitary confinement. at most could be a prison, must go by a is infamous for using harsh interrogation methods to course confessions from palestinian detainees was treated not as a journalist, but as an enemy of the state. a distinction that for israel is presumably irrelevant. it is rarely, authorities accused the freight oh, of quote, assisting the enemy for his coverage, which pinpointed is rarely security sites targeted by a rainy and missiles on october 1st. however, it is rarely judge ordered. laredo is released after it was shown in court that other media outlets had published similar reports. the idea is denied that any of its facilities were struck by iran. but here's part of that original video that landed the grey zone journalist behind bars, unsettling incident look. so i saw today, here in israel is clear evidence around was targeting the same is really intelligence and military infrastructure that's been used over the past year to carry out the assassinations and attacks

the. the missile head hit less than 1000 feet from a side headquarters. this information is missing from all is really media reports due to the fact it's been officially censored right here, or the sensor coordinates, giving the proximity to what is considered one of the world's most advanced intelligence agencies. it seemed clear that is real, was taking extra precautions to conceal the exact impact location. plenty of main stream western media outlets freely reported on his rarely military unintelligence facilities coming under attack. but none of them got in trouble with local authorities for their coverage. for example, here's the video by the american p b s channel revealing the location of ones that striking tell a b this is the impact site for one of those are ronnie and ballistic missiles. and if you see the size of this crater that's about 30 feet deep, that white building back there about 1500 feet behind me. is the headquarters of the spies and see the massage. oh,

we've got the best person possible. joining us for this story because it's joining us live is the here of the story. gray's own journalist, jeremy le freight himself, jeremy, thank you so much for coming on to the program. and the 1st thing i want to ask you, and i want our viewers to understand is how does it feel to be free and back home is deals then. thank you for having me. if it was wonderful to be home, wonderful to be for us as the you know, the wheels lift it up on the plane. had it been during an airport. i finally felt, you know, a sigh of relief. as i'm sure you saw, i was kept in solitary confinement. i wasn't really given much food or water. i was treated like a terrorist in any of the state. and those are the charges that they leveled against me. so to be back in new york, a few weeks later is a wonderful, wonderful deal. well, when this happened, did you, i mean, before this happened, did you think you're reporting would get you arrested? did you do anything that you would consider going beyond what could be considered

journalism? no, of course, i mean all of my sources for my original video report. so we're is rarely mainstream media. we're american media situated inside of israel. so i heard that the coordinates were being censored, but at the same time i saw the r s, the jerusalem post cbs news, our as you showed american media inside of israel reporting this information. so i never thought that it was actually secret because the journalist organizations that have government press office cards and have to go through the government sensor where you know, clearly i'm free to report on the same information i did. so i did not think for a 2nd that i would be, you know, arrested during solitary confinement in charge with um, you know, tears and charges. no. well, yeah, and that's, that's interesting. that's connected to the next thing i want to ask. i mean, the idea of says it's making clear to reporters where it's prohibited to film, as they claim that revealing locations can undermine their security. but as you said,

the mainstream media was already making reports about this kind of stuff. so what do you think? i mean, are they purposely withholding that information from people and just arbitrarily arresting people? journalists that they don't necessarily like i think that's exactly what's happening. i mean i guess it was our, our ed strickland post. we're all allowed to report what i was reporting on, but me an independent journalist from the gray zone, an independent news hour from america, that's critical of the ongoing war efforts. and a journalist myself who's been in and out of the west bank and southern israel several times since the war began. reporting on, you know, the kind of the collaboration between the military and the settlers to block you military aid at the criminal and border crossing. the collaboration between settlers in the military to this place and ethically plans places in the west bank . these are things that i've done in the past in the last few months in israel. and i put out this report that everyone else was seemingly allowed to report. but only

i am targeted only i am, you know, of doing in jail only. i'm just waiting forever returning to the country. so it seems obviously, it wasn't about this actual video. it seems like it was political. and it was something about my reporting in the past. it was a way to stop me from reporting like that in the future. media reports that we've seen, let's say that the as rarely news applique you and that actually help you win your taste by a starting that footage you were arrested for was actually cleared by the adf for them to use. and so if that's true, what do you, what can you say about censorship and is real, how does that reflect on censorship? yeah, well you, you bring up a great point. a journalist from unit came to one of my hearings testified on my have on my behalf showed the judge is cell phone, which was the conversation between him and military sensor. and military sensor was confirming. yes, there's nothing in this video at the secret and the judge said if he's allowed to publish these things as a journalist, so can jeremy look for it. oh, so there was,

there was a clear contradiction in the police as reasoning. and because of that, the judge, let me go to the censorship in israel, you can see that they're raising the, the reasoning, the courage threshold. so high the such a point that you need to be willing to be incarcerated in gaza or 11. i need you to be able to give your life simply to do your job simply to be critical and share the truth about the ongoing war efforts. and this is obviously to dissuade people in guys that people in lab and on people in america, from reporting. i'm going there and reporting the truth and you know, censorship is cause for celebration. so the fact that there censoring is a, it's getting so extreme the fact that they've graduated from digital censorship to you know, stress of violence and incarceration shows that the power structure right now inside of israel and inside the military is so weak that they truly need to care what the world thinks they truly need to care about what information gets out. and that i would say is the,

the silver lining of this entire we're deal is the fact that they're so clearly afraid of the truth, the getting out. and they're so clearly know that they don't have the moral high ground as well. clearly, a lot of international organizations and media outlets they voiced a lot of supports for you during your confinement and israel, but probably one of the biggest things about your story, at least for me, is that you're an american. and as i understand the us government did not do very much to help you in his real. i mean, could you imagine if something like this would have happened in a country, the washington things is their enemy. so what, how do you think the, the, the, the fact that this was, is real influenced the us government's approach to helping you? yeah, the contradiction is black and white. it's so clear that, you know, you had the wall street journal journalist detained in russia. and they, um, every western country, every media organization, jake tapper at cnn, talked about it every single day he was wearing the pin. i'm talking about using

that case to show that russia is some of the word, terry and state. look there, detaining journalists, the whole world was talking about at the western world. but me, i've detained in israel and, and not not a peep from the west or media and not a key for my own government. and the only support that my government gave me was sending in is really a social worker to my solitary confinement cell. and i thought this is a great, maybe she was gonna ask me if i need food, maybe she was gonna ask me if i need water. but she opened a steel slide to my um, solitary confinement. so. and she asked me why i heard israel, if i love is real, she paraded me and said, i really her israel, and i'm going to be in jail for a long time. and then she less, the only support the us government gave me. it wasn't as rarely social worker as honest, militaristic, social worker who paraded me for what i did wrong and left. i heard nothing from the embassy ever. they came to a court hearing once they said nothing to me, i guess just to report back to washington, what was going on with me but not never to say anything publicly. um, yeah,

you have um, where are the victims and on where the victims you are, where the victim that can be used for propaganda efforts if you're detained in russia. but you're in other on where the victim that shouldn't be spoken about because you might paint us ally in a bad light. and that was unfortunately my case. yeah, i mean, and another thing to mention, like here you mentioned, you mentioned to eric escalates and in russia. right. and i mean, there was video evidence that he engaged in espionage activities and you just republish something that was already published in mainstream media outlets. so that even even there, there's a huge difference, but now that you're free, um, are you going to continue reporting on the middle eastern conflict? would you consider filing a lawsuit against the idea? i mean, what kind of plans do you have to? well unfortunately, my case was not allowed to go home. my case remains open was kind of um, no just to leave the country. and it was my case open on purpose to dissuade me from ever coming back to the country. so according to my lawyer, last the mail is

a wonderful human rights loader inside a lawyer inside of israel. she said that if you were to come back to the country and your case remains open, you know, on purpose. it's because they want to, you know, detain you and, you know, continue charging you with the aiding and abetting and giving information to the end during more time. so i think my reporting from inside of israel are inside the west bank right now has to be put on hold. i will still be, you know, doing my investigative journalism from here in new york or from the country surrounding israel. but i can't go back to israel and we can't let them dissuade journalists like myself or journalists all over the world from reporting critically on. there were efforts which is exactly the goal of drawing me in prison in solitary confinement, charging me as a terrorist. and you can't, we, we can't, all journals can't allow intimidation tactics to work, or else the truth will not, you know, get out anywhere. well, it's public knowledge, of course, that israel also detained several other journalists. you're not the only journalist

that they've detained and some media outlets have speculated that you were chosen as a scape goat for being a reporter for the gray zone, which is out of favor with the us government. what do you think about that? yeah, i, i mean, it's my opinion, of course i don't know for for sure, but that's very clear. the other is really journalist. some i've worked for are it's summer independent journals. that's a cell photos of the mainstream media. they were all detained with me, but they were like, go almost immediately and i was charged, you know, as, as an enemy of the state. and i'm in court and the prosecutor for the intelligence agencies. when they were the court with me. the judge said if the one that you're, if you're naturalist and publish this, why came israel afraid of? and very clearly the prosecutor for the israeli police said, well, the appraisal doesn't like as rooms that the so that's, that's in the court transcripts. so whether or not this political is kind of clear and it was political and it doesn't even really have much to do with that. actual video has

a lot more to do with what i've done in israel the last year. and what the grades on has been reporting on for the last year. well, as someone who's been incarcerated just for basically reporting on this kind of stuff, i'd really like to get your opinion on a recent publication from israel's channel 12th. and they reported that one of its presenter is participating. i mean, participated in the destination of a building in southern lebanon under a soldier's guidance, claiming that it was used to launch missiles. how do you think that corresponds to journalistic ethics? i mean, could this be seen as direct participation in military activities? i mean, that's a good, i mean, that's exactly what it was. it's not even an, in my opinion. um, the ideological patronage system in israel is, is so tight that investigative journalists and reporters feel a stronger allegiance and connection to the state and the military. then they do to

investigate it drills into towing civilians and the world the truth. so you have journalist who are much more likely to help the army blow of buildings and lebanon, and then to simply report on the truth and do their job. and it's clear that's exactly what's happening. and so if you don't have the type of the threats of incarceration for the threats of rocket attacks, you do have, you know, a self censorship system as well and so tight that even investigative drills that aren't subject to censorship laws are, are, are saying exactly what the governor would like them to write 1000 grades, those grades on journalists, jeremy le freight. oh thanks a lot for coming on to pull up the program. it was a pleasure and definitely take care of yourself. thank you. the canada has hosted a conference in support of the landscape, so called peace plan to end. the conflict with russia and numerous european officials were in attendance as well. journalist dimitry less car, as was also there. he asked participants whether the lives of palestinians matter

as much to them as your premiums. and they were reluctant to answer posting lines worth as much as a premium lives you don't think so, excuse me gentlemen, or palestinian lives worth as much as your printing lives? no, you don't think so. i take that as a know or tell us the lives worth as much as your opinion lives. yes, no one seems to want to answer my question. i thought it was a simple question. palestinian lives worth as much as you premium lives. are you printing lives worth more than published any lives? simple yes or no, we'll do. i'll take even a, maybe since the beginning of the conflict in ukraine nearly 3 years ago, fewer than 12000 civilians had been killed. however, in just one year of the war and gaza, the death toll in that region has amounted to a staggering $43000.00. meanwhile, ukraine has received 188000000000 euros while gaza got less than 1000000000. but to

get more on this now we're going to cross live to lawyer and freelance journalist, dimitri list car as dmitri, thanks a lot for joining us on the program. right? huge different and support. uh how. so how are sort palestinians lives valued? less than ukrainian ones, would you say? did you get a straight answer to be extended? got any answer at all? certainly there was a contingent there that was willing to say on camera that ukrainian lives. there was more. there was a very large contingent. i posted this question in all you showed a little snippet of what i did to probably about 80 delegates only for spore answered the question. yes. one of them was a palestinian who actually wasn't attending the conference. she was attending another conference happening next door. several said no straight up and the rest refused to answer my question even though they knew they were being filled. and even though they were attending the conference that was extensively 1st and mandatory and purposes, frankly, i find this appalling,

i would've expected that they would at least pretend to care about palestinian lives. but the best but pretty fort willing even to do that much. well, why do you think that these people who didn't agree with you? i mean, why, why are they weighing some lives over others? because they're racist. i mean and fundamentally that's what canada's policy is with respect to not just the palestinian people, but other parts of the world. first of all, the entirety of west asia. canada's policies are profoundly anti air of the profoundly anti muslim. the policy is of course are profoundly anti indigenous here in at home. you know, they're in canada's prisons. approximately 30 percent or more of the population is indigenous. whereas indigenous people constitute 4 percent of the overall population today because of a brutal genocide that was perpetrated over decades. this is

a profoundly racist country. and the highest and worst forms of racism resided in the halls of power amongst those who make decisions about domestic and foreign policy. and i think we got a glimpse of that yesterday on terms of the there's another contradiction that i'd like to ask you about here. for example, when it comes to rush, i mean the west sanctions it right. and when it comes to israel, the west keep supplying it with weapons. what do you think about that contradiction? what's the, what's the cause of that is partly it is the racism. partly it is the fact that the defense so called defense policy of western government isn't about security piece democracy international law or any of that nonsense. it's about the so called rules based international border, which basically means that the united states makes the rules to the benefit of the us. so lead, so there's a point weapons to ukraine because they want to do harm to russia. and it was always for see a vote. and now we're seeing the horrifying inevitability of this, that ukraine's military would be destroyed. the west had every reason to believe that what happened, but they armed it,

none the less because their vote wasn't the savior opinions. but to her russians. and secondly, there is the military industrial complex, which profits enormously from these wars. they basically, you know, in 1961, dwight d eisenhower, a military man of the highest repute. in the waning days of his office warmed the american people of the rise of the power of the military industrial complex. his warnings were not cheated. and now, not only does the military industrial complex dominate u. s. foreign policy, it also dominates the foreign policy, usable western states, including canada, had lawyer and freelance journalist, dimitri let scars, thanks a lot for coming out of the program and telling us about that shocking moment that was going on video. thank you for having. well that's all for this hour. thanks a lot for watching

r t international and we hope to see you again soon. the
