Left is best, comrades! Thanks for the show! ❤
Great interview! RIP Ellsberg.
I couldn’t find the link to the gun half. I know I paid my membership😭🫶🫶
Never knew, Sam had Ellsberg on. Awesome interview.. Thanks for the upload.
Rest In Power D. Ellsberg
I worked in a convenience store in 2006 and my coworker listened to air America during our shifts. It broke me out of my libertarian phase. Thank you Sam!
Rest in peace
Surprised the Ellsberg took the interview with sweater vest wearing wiener Sam…….need to clip that visage of Sam and post it with the title "the guy that the right wing most fears"……
Left is best comrades
Yeah I don’t know who is going to win metalcore, jazz, hip hop, country music. Drum and Bass will win tho
Wow Incredible Interview !! I always knew that the services exagerated numbers to get more funding. But the satellite info saying the Russians only had 4 long range Hi yeild ICBMs was a real shocker while we had a comfortable lead at 40. Most people don't realize that Kennedys space Program which was wonderful was a cover for the ICBM missle program. the same missles and the research money was a cover for the costs of the weapons program. The Saturn Apollo were the only missles that were only for exploration. Dr Strangelove looks even more real than it did in 1965
Thank you for revisiting a great interview with the hero of truth.
Who did Musk BLOW the whistle on?
What is the plan for nuclear war? Press the buttons before they can?
RIP Ellsberg. 🕊️
Jesus Christ somebody buy this man a modern microphone. Fool, ask your friends and family if you sound like a fool- Yes you do. Your microphone is as dated as your old face. Who is this man’s family and why haven’t they gotten him into the 21st-century yet? I’m so tired of these calls that are barely able to be deciphered because the person is using technology that’s dated by 10 years
Is this guy talking through a bag of fucking rocks?😂😂😂
To the old man: please, please please get one of your family members to help you out. A 10-year-old could fix this audio. you sound like you are talking through a bag of gravel. Why am I straining my ears to hear what you’re saying? Get a microphone that is professional quality or don’t call into the shows…
Hi, I'm Skyler. I have a connection to the Internet. I have training in audio engineering.
Stop posting stuff from people that don't have the technology to make it clear what they are saying
If this man needs a microphone, I will send him a microphone. Just stop talking through the bag of rocks, my friend.😂
What microphone are you recording on Brother? Is this the Cold War?
Sure
Somebody gets the microphone out of this guy’s uvula
How can I expect to take this guy seriously when he doesn't even have a working microphone. This is the most unprofessional crap I’ve ever seen to be talking about issues, but you don’t have a microphone. Shut up.
sounds like confirmation bias directs everything in government….
Oh my God I just found out he died last month. Rest in peace. I agree with what he’s saying, how come nobody got this man at functioning microphone before he died this is an outrage you guys are fucking assholes. Get this man a microphone that works. I know it’s too late… But you guys fucking hose him by not giving him a microphone that didn’t make him sound like a fucking groveling idiot
Sickening that nobody helped him imo
Just ordered the book, arrives tomorrow, really looking forward to it.
Insane story. RIP to a hero
Now the Soros fart tries to convince us he is oppostion by resending ancient videos? Is he still polishing his 2012 award for being the best journalist? The fun never stops!🤣🤣
Thought John Oliver was doing the interview for a sec
Starts @ 0:15
Daniel Ellsberg Interview @ 6:20
honestly the first full interview I felt fully engaged in, what an amazing speaker
Conservatives constituents are afraid that liberals are trying to bring back “communism”…
However, right wing constituents are missing one giant Bent nail sticking out…
Conservative leadership is trying to bring back “dictatorships”
Without any of the community part
Which is literally what destroyed communism in the first place from the inside out.
Meanwhile, we all just out here trying to live
Doesn’t matter what form of government you had…
…if it goes dictatorship that’s all you get.
It’s really fun to see Sam’s ark go from sniveling Weezer fan to smoldering silver fox😉
9:15 Sam takes a short nap
Sorry… I know this particular episode is about societal pacification in the midst of Laziness in our ranks as an actuality…
…But I’m on a roll.
Some moderates mostly liberals : “Maybe we should consider communism?… Like, just research it for starters”
Conservative CHUD: “communism?!!! Aww hell no! I hate that guy!”
It’s one thing to test a few splosions in the dessert just to see what it do.
It’s another thing to do it every other Sunday just to get your wig blown back…
It is interesting to think about what’s being said here 34:30 … Combined with folklore in older of civilizations that talk about nuclear level events in early humanity.
The answer is always spacealiens and spacealiens are always just a disappointing version of us
I don't remember Graham's comments but It would largely be isolated to N.Korea. You have better strike power and you have a detection system you fund in S.Korea that gives you notice of launch in seconds, rather than 30 minutes (if using Alaska, Trump wanted to get rid of that system 'cos he was being "ripped off"). 30 mins to intercept that ICBM. China's not going to jump in on that. They're smarter than that.
So something like NATO but we're against NATO. Got it.
Left is best!
Tim Pools your daddy
Somebody needs to give the "quid pro crow" asshat a heads-up – this is what a whistleblower looks like.

I was not a regular TMR viewer when this originally aired so I’m glad I got to see this today. Insightful and horrifying at the same time, wow. (Real) whistleblowers are heroes.
Ellsberg was so well spoken, clear, and direct. It’s like listening to an amazing storyteller. What a loss, and what a man.
Thanks TMR.
PS: Sam- keep the beard, it looks great lol.
Assange being mentioned with the great Ellsberg is blasphemy.
Sam looking drippy
I can’t believe people watch this crap. Horrible
