Watching this after John's passing. A wonderful man and incomparable truth teller. Gratitude for John Pilger, freedom for Julian Assange.

Great conversation, I joined the Australian army age 17. After training I was posted to 1 RAR. I served for 20 months and then went awol as I realised I didn’t want to be a politicians pawn. Within 2 months my old unit was sent on Operation Solace(Somalia). Since that Operation Australia’s military has had a presence in many of the USA conflicts. I’m fortunate that I did not become one of the victims. Keep up the good work.

John was a very rare man indeed, a man of integrity and great personal courage, he put himself in very dangerous situations in his search for the truth, always a champion for the oppressed people of the world, where ever he is now, it's sure to be a good place ❤❤.

David, thank you for this video with John. A timely document of a brave and truly principled journalist who never, ever sold out on *anything*. RIP Mr Pilger

Thank you so much for this!! All the more poignant now that our beloved John Pilger has left the planet. What a wonderful man and journalist he was. What a legacy he left us.

John Pilger... truth personified, a man blessed with an incorruptible bullshit meter.

Any one familiar with John Pilger’s journalism knows that he has integrity. His work- Utopia is a must for all Australians

vale to a hero and a great man. respect.

Thanks David for this rare insight as he was often shunned by Aust media. Principled risk. What a shame we don’t honour such risk in Australia. Julian, John and you would have been treated so differently. I despair at our cowardice, it’s not being conservative. We aren’t calling out what we can see in Palestine either 😢

Farewell dear John. Thank you for all your wonderful work and for being the ethical person you were. 🥰🥰🥰

RIP John, hero , both David and John , heroes in their own right. 🙏

Two true Austrlian legends

Wonderful interview! Happy birthday to John Pilger. May your views and work last forever! Cannot thank you enough for your brilliant work.

John Pilger is a legend, superstar and there should be a big Greek looking statue of him somewhere. I don’t know if he has one on his mantle piece but there should be one in every city in the world. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Keep going John.

I was shocked to read earlier this year that JP had died!…such a great loss!…Thank you so much David for doing this interview…you are both Australian sons of whom we can be so proud…thank you so much, to both of you and your families, for your commitment to Truth-telling!…👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

always remember this interviewer, Chile 🇨🇱 will never forget you mr Pilger!!!!

John Pilger is a champion - A Secret Country and Hidden Agendas are on my bookshelf with all my favourite champions who have written books

Thanks David- I heard John had passed away, thanks for doing this. What a bittersweet New Year x

superb interview sooo lucky you've got to interview John Pilger, even call him a dear friend, he is my hero, and hope your able to organize another series of interviews soon, I can listen to him all day and night, he is the George Carlin/Johnny Cash of journalism

Oh wow , John Pilger ! . Excellent.

Pilger should be running the ABC; not Buttrose.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us and let the truth coming out in the daylight ❤

Thank you for this interview!

Hi david & John hope you both good.. great and thoroughly intertesting conversation between yourself and Mr. Pilger. Speaking of great world war 2 movies. Have you seen Roberto rossolini's WW2 Trilogy. germany Year zero is probally the most hard hitting as it concentrates on germany after their surrender and the hardships on the ordinary german civillians. Rome, Open city also and Paisa. Definately well worth a binge watch if you havent you definately wont regret it.. thanks for posting this interview guys..

Oh goodness, heaven's above how still are you free McBride?; and Julian Assange is not?; or is he? We all australian people need are to knowing the truth that you all are bringing to us. It's a tough calling the works you are all doing. Keep going bringing the people together, it's a life ongoing challenge and worthy commitment. 🙌 God helps us all, amen 🙏

We’re so lucky to still have him here with us through all of his many informative documentaries that he’s left us with. I appreciate his dedication to the truth, his calm and articulate communication, and his inspiration that he has provided for all. Thank you both, gentlemen. ~from the US.

Awesome. 👍👍

Awesome

RIP

David, bare dirty soles & feet wriggling on a coffee table-no. You’ve just made every Eastern & Continental European, Scandinavian, Middle Eastern, African, South American, SE Asian especially Buddhists, every Moslem feel emetic & revolted. Such a big mistake for such an important interview with a great man. John Pilger’s life’s work, is an unrepeatable legacy, the impeccable documentation of history,& of global significance. Eternal Memory to this lovely man who didn’t for a minute, lose his integrity, humanity or moral compass.

Vale

Pity this video has been seen by relatively few people

Why is David Gower pretending to be an Aussie?? 😢

pilger is a propagandist for anything that promotes a left wing, hardline commo perspective. Full of it.
