Hey y'all. We're back today with part two of a special two episode series about reporter Jeremy LaFredo, who in October of 24 became the first American journalist to be arrested by Israel.

We first aired these episodes a little over a year ago back in January of last

emblematic of just what we're trying to do, question everything, which is tell powerful

stories that draw you in, connect you to people you haven't heard from, but also just challenge

Israeli police put four of them in custody, zip-tied, and blindfolded Jeremy and some of the others.

The people he was with were ultimately let go, but not Jeremy.

And now, Jeremy was being held in a police station near Jerusalem.
