Famed Pentagon Papers Whistleblower Warns Against Trump


Listen Later

FEATURING DANIEL ELLSBERG – With just weeks before the November 3rd election, poll numbers show former Vice President Joe Biden with a strong lead over incumbent Donald Trump. But four years ago there were similar polls showing a lead for the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and the rest is history. 
My next guest calls Trump, “a domestic enemy of the Constitution.” In an op-ed for the Metro Times in Michigan Daniel Ellsberg sounds the alarm on what he calls, “an authoritarian threat to our democratic system of a kind we’ve never seen before.” 
Read Ellsberg’s oped in the Metro Times in Michigan entitled, “Trump is an enemy of the Constitution and must be defeated,” HERE.  






Daniel Ellsberg, lecturer, scholar, writer and activist and former Defense and State Department official who faced 115 years in prison for disclosing the Pentagon Papers in 1971. He is the author of four books including, The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner (2017) and the winner of the Right Livlihood award. He recently wrote an op-ed in the Metro Times in Michigan entitled, “Trump is an enemy of the Constitution and must be defeated.”
