EDITORS—Garland and Laith discuss the situation in the Middle East, Africa, Ukraine, etc., marveling at the arrogant ineptness of the US empire, so well typified by the figure of an utterly corrupt and senile Joe Biden strutting across the world stage pretending that the collective West and Washington remain the Paramount arbiters of world history. Laith updates Garland on the situation in the Arabic sphere, the clash between Israel and Hezbollah, the amazing resistance of Gaza fighters despite the odds, the treacherous moves of Saudi Arabia, and the admirable posture of the Houthis. The reality is that the Empire and its vassals are in deep trouble, much of it of their own choosing, and product of basing their power in an obsolete global political and economic system whose immense contradictions, falsehoods, and anti-human exploitative values are pulling it apart before our eyes, whether it be in the battlefields of Ukraine, Gaza, Southern Lebanon or the Red Sea, not to mention the mounting problems at home with increasingly restive populations, as the recent elections in Britain and especially France reflect.

PIERS MORGAN—Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters is quite simply a legend of British rock music history. His band created a foundational sound that has inspired generations, and have sold more than 250 million records worldwide. Not content however to be just an artist, Roger is also a well-known antagonist and activist. His support for Palestine has been unwavering; but also controversial. Roger joins Piers Morgan Uncensored with an energy and zeal most wouldn’t have at 80 years old. Piers asks him about his father, who fought the Nazis in World War 2, but also challenges him on his contentious stage shows, his views on Hamas, and his mistaken belief that Russia would not invade Ukraine. Roger barely allows Piers to speak, which is of course, no easy feat.

WADE PHILLIPS—On May 18th, 2024, the International People’s Tribunal found the U.S.-backed Philippine government guilty of human rights violations and war crimes against the Filipino people.
Hundreds gathered in Brussels to hear two days of harrowing testimony, mostly from victims and their families. Witnesses described the willful murder and torture of civilians, arbitrary arrests and indiscriminate bombings of houses and schools, among other atrocities committed by the Philippine government in its ongoing armed conflict with the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), a revolutionary group fighting for genuine democracy and self determination for the Filipino people.

KIM PETERSEN—Last month, the Jimmy Dore Show invited investigative reporter Ben Swann to speak to the myriad facts and evidence uncovered that point to the Israeli government and Israeli intelligence having known well in advance of the planned 7 October Hamas attack and welcoming it. It should be an explosive news piece if not for the self-censorship of the US legacy media. Swann, thankfully, has put together a 7-part series on this with his team at Truth in Media.
