INN

Those guys are great.

It was a little over two years ago that I did an INN one-on-one with Keith McHenry and I barely had to speak the entire time because as Steve Boykin points out that Keith has an ability to slow breathe and to breathe through his nose while he's talking.

So he literally can just go on and on and on and on and on.

And... he's remarkable he's got stories up the wazoo um and and i love that guy and he's salt of the earth and he works so hard for everybody and i would love for for somebody from our community to be able to step up and to help out keith and and the organization and it's that keith makes it never about him it's always about the organization to a point that like it frustrates me because he is a great person i think people would help just for him at times but he never wants to make it about him just one of the best people out there i swear next we have our friend joe blank who showed up earlier, but he's also still not doing well physically.

The one-on-one conversation that I did with her also was a year ago with her and her mom.

You can go and watch that, as well as the livestream fundraiser that we did.

That was last October 29th on INN, where Jesse played songs and dissents article.

Between dissents article and that, we helped raise over $12,000.

Those guys are great.

It was a little over two years ago that I did an INN one-on-one with Keith McHenry, and I barely had to speak the entire time because, as Steve Poizner points out, that, uh, Keith has an ability to, to slow breathe and to breathe through his nose while he's talking.

So he literally can just go on and on and on and on and on.

And he's remarkable.

There's also an article written a year ago by Dissent in Bloom, uh, about her time in lockup.

Uh, the one-on-one that-- conversation that I did with her also, um, was a year ago with her and her mom.

You can go and watch that, as well as the livestream fundraiser that we did, um, that was o- last October 29th on INN, where Jesse played songs and Dissent's article.

Between Dissent's article and that, we helped raise over $12,000, but it's stuck at twelve five or twelve six now for, like, the better part of a year.

That's number one.

Next, our friend Rich Slutsky over at Counterspin, lies, damn lies and spin, wrote an article this week that I actually am including in the INN newsletter on Friday for the weekly update.

Um, he hasn't written one in a, in a couple of months, um, but he wanted to write about local topics.

He said he got sidetra-sidetracked But this is a story out of Montana, a weird one that triggered him for multiple reasons.

I know that now if you click on the Indie News shop by getting there at Indie Media, uh, I'm sorry, um, indienewsnow.com, all right, right at the top is, "When people are occupied, resistance is justified." You can ...

Uh, I was wearing one of those T-shirts yesterday, INN.

My favorite, Cats or Dicks, I love that shirt.

All right? I wore this shirt last week, and we're gonna replace Angel in the Afternoon with Angel and Friends, but it's the same logo, the same look and feel.

Uh, rumor has it that Oz is working on yet a- on a, on his next show.

So at some point our friend Oz will be back, um, sooner hopefully rather than later.

Uh, and finally, I did wanna mention, and I have mentioned it before, uh, the INN, the INN interactive calendar.

Uh, I have been linking this at the bottom of the links for, um, the links for each show as well as for the GoFundMe section or the mutual aid section, and this is updated on, on an ongoing basis.

Fuck cancer.

And then of course we've got the INN weekly calendar.

Last week, we had more than 30 items between podcasts and live streams and clips and articles.

And I'll be doing the update over the next couple of days for this entire week.

So go check this out.

This is updated on an ongoing basis.

And then from here, I then grab all this and I put it into the weekly update that I email out to INNNewsletter.com with a screen cap of what the week looked like.

So I love you all.

All right.

And we created this thumbnail and an 11 and a half hour playlist of of all Assange-related segments, from How Did We Miss That, from INN News, from American Tradition, from Politically Homeless, from a bunch of different network shows throughout the years.

There have been few, like I said, channels that have done the level and extent of coverage that we did, and I'm incredibly proud of that, and fighting for what we consider to be press freedom to get him out.

Now, we then honored Julian that October after he was released with an ED Media Award honoree for special honors.

And we list them there on our wall of fame.

That's everybody that's ever given a dollar or more to INN.

And we appreciate, again, all of you.

The ways to do that, Cash App, Dollar Sign, Indie News Network, ko-fi.com slash Indie News Network, indienewsnow.com, which is our website and the name of the show.

INNnewsletter.com for the network.

You can get the weekly update over there and a few other podcasts.

And at IndyMediaToday.com, which is where we're live right now, and the clips from this show get sent out throughout the week.

And there are a group of people that are fighting to try to get him a pardon as well.

I just wanted to start by saying that this is someone who I've been a tremendous admirer and fan of, and this is, uh, w-when-- in twenty twenty-four in April, there was a, an anniversary of five years that he had been in Belmarsh prison, all right? And we created this thumbnail and an eleven-and-a-half-hour playlist of all Assange-related segments from How Did We Miss That?, from INN News, from American Tradition, from Politically Homeless, from a bunch of different network shows throughout the years.

There have been few, like I said, channels that have done the level and extent of coverage that we, that we did, and I'm incredibly proud of that, and fighting for what we consider to be press freedom to get him out.

Um, now, we then honored Julian that October after he was released with an Indie Media Award honoree for special honors, and I recorded about a seven-and-a-half minute kind of gushing explanation of all the different protests and things that we had done up until this point, October twenty twenty-four.

Um, it was, it was an interesting conversation that I had with, with both Ryan from The Last American Vagabond and Steve from AM Wake Up.

I'm a big fan of both those guys.

And of course, we stream AM Wake Up to our Twitter, Twitch, and Kick channels over on INN weekday mornings at ten AM.

So, um, all right.
