The full version of Mark Davis's exclusive interview with Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in February 2011, where he talks about his relationship with the Australian government and his extradition hearing over sexual assault allegations in Sweden.

The controversial website WikiLeaks collects and posts highly classified documents and video. Founder Julian Assange, who's reportedly being sought for questioning by US authorities, talks to TED's Chris Anderson about how the site operates, what it has accomplished -- and what drives him. The interview includes graphic footage of a recent US airstrike in Baghdad.

An MSNBC discussion with Pittsburgh-area Trump supporters that aired Monday morning highlights how average conservatives really feel about January 6th. While mainstream media and Democrat politicians continue to push the narrative that the massive protest was “worse than 9/11” or the attack on Pearl Harbor, these working-class Republicans showed they understand what actually took place. For example, when MSNBC host Elise Jordan told the focus group Pennsylvania GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano was “at the insurrection” and that he breached “a restricted area,” one man explained Capitol Police were filmed removing barriers and holding open doors for demonstrators to enter the building.

Australian journalist, author and documentary filmmaker John Pilger has dedicated his life to the pursuit of truth and shining a light on inconvenient facts that often contradict the mainstream media narrative.

Professor John J. Mearsheimer discusses the current Russian invasion on Ukraine whilst exploring the potential causes and consequences of the crisis. In this lecture, Prof. Mearsheimer focused on both the origins of the war in Ukraine and some of its most important consequences. He argues that the crisis is largely the result of the West’s efforts to turn Ukraine into a Western bulwark on Russia’s border. Russian leaders viewed that outcome as an existential threat that had to be thwarted. While Vladimir Putin is certainly responsible for invading Ukraine and for Russia’s conduct in the war, Prof. Mearsheimer states that he does not believe he is an expansionist bent on creating a greater Russia. Regarding the war’s consequences, the greatest danger is that the war will go on for months if not years, and that either NATO will get directly involved in the fighting or nuclear weapons will be used — or both. Furthermore, enormous damage has already been inflicted on Ukraine. A prolonged war is likely to wreak even more devastation on Ukraine. Prof. John J. Mearsheimer is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Chicago.
