  PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR: On Sunday, December 2, Venezuelans will go to the polls to vote on sweeping changes to their country's constitution.
  ...
  JAY: The reforms to the legal system and the economy are far-reaching, creating conditions for what Chavez calls "socialism of the 21st century.
  ...
  JAY: A possibility of recalling Chavez during his term, in terms of referendums, referendums on constitutional change: one of the provisions in the new constitutional amendments is to raise the vote that is necessary for citizens' referendums, some cases from 20-25%, but in some cases from 10-30%, depending what the citizen-initiated measure is.
  ...
  JAY: Articles 337 and 338 talk about suspending the right to information during what they call "states of exception," which I assume is like a state of emergency.
  ...
  JAY: There's dozens of other provisions in these constitutional amendments.
  ...
  JAY: There's a provision for what some people have said is eliminating the independence of the central bank.
  ...
  JAY: This Sunday is the vote on the referendum. First of all, what results are expected? And what kind of day is expected?

  PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR: ElBaradei, is the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, stated quite definitively there is no evidence of a nuclear weapons program in Iran.
  ...
  JAY: The sanctions that were just issued recently [are] the beginnings of a kind of act of war, this ratcheting up of the rhetoric right at a time when the IAEA is saying, in fact, Iran's cooperating in the process. But it's all coming down to this question of does Iran even have its right to enrich uranium for civilian nuclear, which in fact it has, under the non-proliferation treaty. But Bush in his last press conference, where he had his famous World War III warning, has said even the knowledge of having nuclear weapons we won't permit, never mind a civilian program.
  ...
  JAY: The experts are saying, including ElBaradei and others, that if you can enrich uranium to something just under 5%, which is apparently what's needed for civilian purposes, you're most of the way there towards the technology of having a bomb, that once you have that enrichment technology, you're not that much further towards a bomb.
  ...
  JAY: Do you think we're actually moving towards a military confrontation?

  PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR: Martial law in Pakistan continues and thousands remain in jails. Islamist militants and Taliban fighters are reported to be gaining ground in Afghanistan and even in Pakistan itself.
  ...
  JAY: This was to be a big, massive demonstration.
  ...
  JAY: What did Negroponte want in going to Pakistan, and what did he get?
  ...
  JAY: This is the commanders of the Pakistan military.
  
  AHMAD: That's right.
  
  JAY: And if I understand it correctly, if you want to deal with who rules Pakistan, you're talking about the high command.
  
  AHMAD: Yes. I have argued since the beginning of that what comes out of this crisis will depend not on the lawyers' movement, not even essentially, ultimately, whether or not Americans want to get rid of Musharraf personally, but on what this high command decides.
  
  JAY: In the Pakistani press now-not on television, 'cause I don't think there's any Pakistani television left other than state television-they've coined a phrase for Musharraf. They're calling him Busharraf.
  ...
  JAY: What U.S. policy is antagonizing Pakistanis?
  ...
  JAY: But aren't the secular forces fearsome of the Jihadi forces?
  
  AHMAD: Absolutely.
  
  JAY: I mean, these Jihadi forces, if they ever had more power, their first target is going to be the secular forces.
  ...
  JAY: And mostly funded by Saudi Arabia, as I understand it.
  
  AHMAD: Funded very often by Saudi Arabia or the other sheikdoms, Gulf sheikdoms, and so on.
  
  JAY: And I think more than a million Afghan refugees in Pakistan.
  ...
  JAY: Which includes the narco trade from Afghanistan.

  PAUL JAY, SENIOR NEWS EDITOR: One of the men from the supreme court that was removed and placed under house arrest said the beginning of this martial law is the end of Musharraf's government and predicted the end of Musharraf in thirty days.
  ...
  JAY: And he adds another piece: if constitutionally she isn't allowed to be prime minister again, well, he just suspended the Constitution.
  
  AHMAD: He has just suspended the Constitution. He has not suspended the parliament. He has not dismissed the government. The prime minister is already saying that elections are now about a year away. The parliament under this kind of dispensation can extend its own life by a year. And that parliament itself can amend the Constitution to allow someone to be prime minister a third time.
  
  JAY: So, then, in fact this martial law, which looked like it might have been the unraveling of the deal, might actually be the mechanism to make the deal.
  ...
  JAY: So they say to the U.S., we'll work with you, but we'll do it our way.

  To discuss the Iranian response to the NIE report, Paul Jay speaks with Real News analyst Pepe Escobar.
  ...
  PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR: Pepe, tell us about the Iranian reaction to the NIE report.
  ...
  JAY: The State Department and the Israelis are sort of quoting something Rafsanjani said around that period, which according to them was, if we have the knowledge how to enrich uranium, it's really good enough.
  ...
  JAY: So how is Rafsanjani and the Iranian leadership reacting now?
  ...
  JAY: With Rafsanjani having so much power now, he's also a man that has a lot of investments in the West. He's personally very wealthy. He's always had the reputation of "someone the Americans might be able to do business with." Is there an opening here now?
  ...
  JAY: In his press conference after the NIE report, President Bush really made the issue Ahmadinejad himself, and it more or less sounded like, if you can sideline Ahmadinejad, then we can find a way to talk to you.
  ...
  JAY: If in fact there is no imminent threat from Iran—and it seems that there's not—why is Israel so intent on an attack on Iran?

  Senior editor Paul Jay talks with Phyllis Bennis, senior analyst at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington D.C.
  ...
  PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR: Phyllis, the White House reaction to the National Intelligence Estimate document remains more or less what Bush said in his press conference when it was first released.
  ...
  JAY: So Bush's reaction fundamentally is that this NIE estimate kind of helps his cause.
  ...
  We should keep in mind, Paul, we've still seen no evidence that there ever was a nuclear weapons program. This is simply asserted in the NIE document, in the National Intelligence Estimate document.
  
  JAY: And yet, in fact, you'd think if there was such evidence, it would have been turned over to the IAEA, to ElBaradei, and as far as we know, no such evidence has ever been given to them.
  ...
  JAY: Or was.
  ...
  JAY: So you would think if the intelligence agencies that produced this document had such evidence, they would have turned it over to him, and he would have been obligated to verify it and react to it.
  ...
  JAY: So we know that the White House had this document for quite some time, whether Bush saw it in August, after August, before August.
  ...
  JAY: Now, when you look at the substance of Bush's argument and the substance of the NIE report, the report really doesn't take away that knowledge argument, but the politics has.
  ...
  JAY: And that seems to be the general tone or tenor of the reaction, that Iran is in fact a rational country, you can negotiate, you can do business, and not the kind of insane image of an Ahmadinejad, which all the media had as their image of Iran as a whole, not just of Ahmadinejad, up until just prior to this report.
  ...
  JAY: As ["korb"] pointed out in that interview, it was the mullahs that stopped it, then restarted it again.
  ...
  JAY: [crosstalk] they say restarted again, 'cause we still don't know it.
  ...
  JAY: And anyone that knew Iran knew this to be the case [crosstalk]--
  ...
  JAY: And, maybe the real issue to emerge, at least one of the issues to emerge, is the horrible role of the mainstream media on this issue, who for the last six months have been helping the White House create the atmosphere for a military attack, completely buying into all the nuclear assumptions [cross talk]—
  ...
  JAY: Now, all of a sudden, they can do a flip.
  ...
  JAY: Well, the assumption that there was a nuclear weapons program [cross talk]
  ...
  JAY: [Cross talk] was never in question.

  Paul Jay of The Real News speaks at the Von Krahl Academy, Estonia in November 2008
  ...
  Jay was quite clear about Obama from the start.
  ...
  Paul Jay said he thinks Obama is sincere and should be taken at his word. Given the results of Obama's actions thus far compared to his "word", Paul Jay sounds very out of touch on that particular topic.
  
  Herodotus 2009-10-17 Paul Jay shows honesty, passion, knowledge and concern for the future.
  ...
  Paul Jay, I applaud your integrity and thank you. I do not agree with every stance TRNN leans towards but we do need more networks like yours. One of my favorite quotes is: "Always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare... always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty. - Joseph Pulitzer
  
  alanknight2001 2009-10-05 Excellent stuff Paul Jay. More commentary like this is valuable, so keep it coming Thanks!.
  
  jimhartog 2009-10-05 MR. Jay is an excellent interviewer, one who asks the tough yet appropriate questions.
  ...
  Jay is certainly sincere. And he is certainly making a real difference. He needs money to create a news outlet that is not elite-biased. So he has to ask his readership. I find no problem there. I do not always agree with the position and videos posted here, but I certainly applaud Jay for what he has done so far and what he is going to do - regardless of what some of you GOP troll sphincter loaf pinchers spew here. Their goal is to make you feel powerless - to do nothing. Jay is turning that around. Thanks for what you do Jay.

  Jay says at the end of this video that Obama should have investigated and held Bush accountable for what happened on 9/11. He said it should be investigated in the Zinn interview as well.
  ...
  In the end, Paul Jay also represents a private agenda that do not necessarily represents the interests of individuals who seek a TRUE INDEPENDENT MEDIA.

  TEXT ON SCREEN: "Free media" lecture by Paul Jay, The Real News Senior Editor, at the Von Krahl Academy
  
  PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: The Real News Network, the fundamental idea of it is to change the economics of journalism.
  ...
  JAY: I'll tell you how this came to pass, how I got here.
  ...
  JAY: There's another moment, I guess, that was a very formative moment for me.
  ...
  JAY: Like, if you take Iran, the American intelligence agencies about eight, nine months ago issued something called the NIE, the national intelligence estimate, where all the intelligence organizations together do a report on various questions.
  ...
  JAY: First of all, there is terrorism.
  ...
  JAY: There's such enthusiasm for Obama, there's such hope in Obama, but people have to also know the truth about Obama.
  ...
  JAY: And it brings up a whole question of whether the Obama administration is going to hold the Bush administration accountable for crimes.
  ...
  JAY: Well, there's different "theys".
