- Host Harry Kreisler is joined by activist and strategic analyst Daniel Ellsberg, a key figure in the public protest to halt the Vietnam War. His leaking of the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times set in motion a series of events, including illegal actions by then-President Richard Nixon that led the president to resign his office rather than be impeached.

This interview is an amazing historical source that will be viewed for generations to come. Ellsberg's towering intellect, clear understanding of human nature, and immense moral courage -- tempered with the practical insights of a combat-hardened US marine -- make his story irresistible. Truly a world-historical figure. Bravo!
So seldom has one man ever literally changed the course of history. Dan Ellsberg is one of those men. Thankfully, he had the courage to do the right thing and we owe him a great deal.
Daniel Ellsberg, You are a real hero. From Seoul, Korea.
Great interview
One gets one's money's worth with an Ellsberg interview.
Finally an honest good man. He or people like him should lead us.
Daniel Ellsberg:you are a credit to the human species and a bona fide hero!
You probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Leland Jermaine I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Leland Jermaine it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Jonas Johnathan You are welcome xD
@@jonasjohnathan6074 Get your bot spamming shit out of here. Both of these accounts are obviously bots.
Great talk to feel the history of the vietnam war.
this man may have saved thousands of american lives and maybe millions of more vietnamese ones. His story deserves to be told, what he did forced Nixon to end the war (which he did not believe in despite his 1969 election promise). Unlike the Rosenbergs who may have betrayed their country, he was trying to say his own and perhaps redeem himself.
BigV - Total BS. The man was a traitor.
What a mess of a war, so much money wasted. Ellsberg describing how each political party kept extending it so it would be the next party's problem is spot on
1998, the intro music sounds more like 1981 ;-)
I thought it was heraldry, Rene K.
R.I.P. Daniel Ellsberg
I am learning an amazing amount of valuable and crucial information from his book “the doomsday machine“. Everyone should read this book. He has clear ideas of how to get out of the nuclear doomsday. One of them is that we can unilaterally simply dismantle our ICBMs and remove the biggest motivation for a Russian pre-emotive strike. That would go a long way to diffusing the hair-trigger situation we’re in. Our submarine-launched missiles and airborne nuclear weapons are more than enough in terms of deterrent. He sees this as leading the way for the Russians, who can afford the nuclear arms race even less than we can.
he has made amazing contributions to freedom ... Read secrets, his account of his release to the press of the pentagon papers, the documented history of the vietnam war, and his book on nuclear war planning, see doomsday machine [2017]
i'll look it up and see if it has any validity. however from what is generally known about him, he certainly is a hero.
My dad went to Vietnam in 1970.
What is the date of this interview?
It has the look and sound of the early 1980s, but I think it is the late 90s.
Please do read the book about him. He is a very troubled man who just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

My dad fought in the Vietnam War.
50:00 I been a marine. I been to Vietnam. I been in combat.

Has Ellsberg ever testified under risk of perjury about the Pentagon Papers? Just wondering if there was ever a close cross-examination of his version of events.
Ellsberg was initial charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 for leaking 7000 pages of "copied" classified documents to various press agencies in 1971 (including New York Times & Washington Post), the "Pentagon Papers."
The trial began in Los Angeles on 3 January 1973 with U.S. District Judge William Matthew Byrne Jr. presiding. set a precedent
awsome videos but please noramlize all your videos!!!!! 1 video very quiet and the next one very loud! sick of adjusting my speakers.
just because something's in a book doesn't mean it's true. i'd have to look into it...
I stand against recidivism
I'm not putting down what he did as far as the amount of good it may have done. It is just that a lot of people act like he is some sort of saint.
The book "Wild Man" which is an exhaustive study of him and his problems, personality and others. Such as sex addiction.
10:00 LBJ straight up LIED!!!
thanks for that information
@27:05 This is wrong. I'm sorry, but the Soviet Union had a very limited number of functional ICBMs--they did, however, have far more IRBMs. This allowed them, at the time, to put almost all major American population centers at risk. You also can't undersell the flight time--that is the window of decisionmaking in a potential exchange.
accused? convicted? what is your source?
I hate that President Johnson escalated the war in Vietnam.
From what I could gather from the book, he happened to fall into the place in history, the right place at the right time. However, he was plagued by demons such as egotism,sex addiction, drug use, etc. It just all came together at rand and he was able to do something during that time. I don';t consider him a hero but I agree with what he did.
he is ethnically jewish, but does not practice the jewish religion. this holds for many jewish people.
It is so among people of _many_different_ faiths ..
--> tAG
I don't know how many lives he saved. He killed a few in nam while he was with rand. Anyway, he still loves publicity and has never seen a camera he doesn't like. I am not saying he made no contribution but it just seems to be overstated.
45:31 - "or President's women, eh, woman..." - a little bit of a Freudian slip there from the "womanizer"?
I hope Daniel Ellsberg saw the error of his ways.
