Summary

Award-winning journalist and bestselling author Chris Hedges talks to Jimmy about his effective silencing by YouTube, with six years’ worth of Hedges’ show, ”On Contact,” deleted from the platform simply because the program appeared on the Russian-affiliated network RT. As a result, hundreds of episodes featuring interviews with a wide range of guests, the vast majority of which had nothing to do with Russia, have been removed from public view.

Plus a segment on the curious case of the Anti-Defamation League downplaying concerns about the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion in Ukraine.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Howard Skora and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Al Pacino and Joe Biden!
