Glenn Greenwald: Democrats Eager to Blame "Everybody But Themselves" for Collapse of Their Party

[@cynthiajohnson9412]

Thank you so much Glenn for being one of the few to stand strong on the side of truth.

[@nosuchthing8]

Cynthia Johnson what does GG know, zip.

[@4tech69]

Just like you. Now you run on along home son.

[@coolergman8629]

Cynthia Johnson I don't know much about Glen Greewald other than the fact that he leeked the Snowden. I admire him for being consent in his critisms of both the republicans and the Democrats. There are far too many democratic party hacks who belive the Cia when it's about Donald Trump winning. but whe it's convenient for them like when Iraq was invaded under false reports they don't . I feel like this election showed who is a legitimate progessive and who was a democratic party hacks.

[@PapaMagnum]

I'm so glad the Democracy Now! is still going strong. I cannot overstate my gratitude for them.

[@greenenergy5481]

I donate small amounts to Democracy Now. Why? Well look at the main stream sources of media and answer that question yourself :) America needs revolution and to remove the super-rich from power forever. My 100% death tax on sums over 15 million and two homes would be a good first step. Campaign financing that is public would be a crucial step. Are we too late to save American democracy? Very possibly yes we may truly be too late and that then leaves us Americans standing against our own militarized, blood thirsty, torturing, information repressing, non-due process government. The government is our enemy. The American government as it stands is a threat to all life on earth.

[@nashntth]

As soon as Russia reaches the level of interference in foreign elections as the US does, I'll be concerned about them.

[@Parul.namaste]

nashntth they have already started with misinformation and.falsehoods about merkel here in getmany.Putin hates nato and the eu and will try his level best to undetmine these insttutions.

[@muchookees]

nashntth The US would never interfere with another nations elections .... says every Hillary Clinton supporter

[@LonasStart]

Is there evidence anywhere of U.S. involvement in foreign elections? I'd like to check it out.

[@cheezheadz3928]

Ignatius Reilly www.nytimes.com/2006/07/06/us/06wyatt.html

[@Stinusje-o4o]

Ignatius Reilly 81 times cia /us gov was involved in overturning foreign 'regimes' in the last 53 years

[@jakeen229]

Glenn is something that is rare, he is honest. He doesn't pick fucking sides.

[@redwhitedude]

The Pessmistic Gamer guy. Yup, he will call out Trump as well.

[@chamboyette853]

I agree. It's much appreciated and very rare.

[@KaosReigns10]

Glenn speaks the truth.

[@mauricemac1362]

thank god for Glenn and D. NOW

[@sagisli]

I wish there were more journalists like Glenn Greenwald.

[@lnbartstudio2713]

I would like to thank Democracy Now for reporting facts and relevant stories without hysteria. Also want to warn that this kind of behavior is dangerous to your health. Sending best wishes.

[@pathacker4963]

I am 66 and I feel like I am in some sort of time warp back to the Joe McCarthy days. I thought we had evolved past this. But I guess if the Clintons can Walmartize the USA they can do that as well.

[@cathychisholm8460]

We need more Glenn Greenwald's in the world.

[@charlysue7013]

I FEEL PHYSICALLY SICK WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN GOING ON

[@spp-ut1jw]

You said it. Put the blame on everyone except Hillary and Obonko and Obamacare.

[@LyingPrauses]

sp808801 p Obamacare is good

[@tomconway5684]

refreshing to listen to real journalist discussion of real news.

[@lopezb]

Greenwald is a national treasure. He is so unusual because there are so few who articulately and incisively speak the truth.

[@badbrains272]

Dang. That dude spits fire. I digg it.

[@edkemper4385]

This is both the problem and the answer. "Their Party." They no longer represent the majority. "Our Party" hasn't come alive, yet.

[@dannykitaji8480]

good reporting

[@barticusmaximus1230]

GG on point, as always.

[@rumthin]

"obvious for anybody minimally literate" This is a serious problem with the US today. Even people who are moderately literate simply choose not to read.

[@ThePeaceReport]

Glenn=Truth

[@tiggertux5648]

If there is nothing to hide, then where are the tax returns? And full disclosure of businesses. NOW.

[@Backstabbio]

Goddamn, Glenn, you're my hero right now!

[@michaelschneider-]

+1. Man,,, Mr. Glenn Greenwald has journalistic chops! .. World Class "chops" the likes of Mr. Greenwald's has to-the-core integrity as a pursuit.

[@nancymesek]

Why isn't congress concerned about 7 million uncounted votes?

[@Rio-ke9he]

this channel needs more subscribers

[@martindickson8388]

So, multiple agencies who all agreed Russia interferred in the election he calls ridiculous. And he doesn't understand why people call him patriotic?

[@integritymatters5162]

watch the 13 hour movie on bengahzi - looking like arrogant incompetent political elites - horrible

[@lostsoulhumanity5388]

About time the focus was placed on the main issue: how this affects Glenn Greenwald.

[@Orf]

1:58 If you have no way of gauging the impact of can you gauge interference was made. How can you have interference with an election if there's no tangible effects of the interference?

[@aatt3209]

Above all, US national security is the central question here, not if the democratic party has collapsed or the elevated indecency in American politics.

[@RodSolera]

Would love to see G.Greenwald discuss this with Sam Seder.

[@greenenergy5481]

Revolution

[@coleenspence9861]

Just curious.Why do almost all Americans pronounce "pundit" as "pundent"?Anyone know?

[@lnbartstudio2713]

McCain - not someone I particularly like - is saying either put up or shut up. Gets points from me...this time.

[@redwhitedude]

studio 2020 Let him have committee hearings that amount to nothing. People will catch on to the fact that he is fluff.

[@DirtiestDeeds]

Journalism. It's underpaid.

[@havocsheart]

"We can tell how this may have effected public opinion". Well you know, you could fucking poll them about it.

[@jakeen229]

I agree with Glenn assessment but at the same time he is talking about elites dem

[@Hecate2011]

Blunt truth telling will always be problematic for guys like Greenwald and subject to attack on numerous fronts. It's what he does, and thank God.

[@donluchitti]

People, and Glenn does it here, patting Trump's supporters on their backs for winning when noone thought he would but c'mon, wasn't it just the old Conservative vote who got trump a win compared to the Liberal side? Surely, Trump didn't have more young people than Bernie did right? Also, I love all these people who froth at punishing the democrats. They're sort of missing the point, just like the loyal dems who ignored progressive Liberals and seek to blame others for Trump's win: The Democrats are nearly as mired into the political slop fest as the Republicans. Bernie shoulda went 3rd party. The Democrats of course, would let the establishment weight in.

[@648531]

fake hacking story. stop this fakenews

Im not russian. Dont watch too mutch cnn and warmonger tv

[@Yodaismycopilot]

LOL I love how Greenwald yawns at the question being posed at 7:38 then systematically crushes her implied assertion.

[@suziegreer7975]

No it shouldn't act as an act of war because it was me and I wasn't trying to harm anyone

[@tonybenn1000]

IN 1954 The USA. Overthrew the Government of Guatemala. IN 1958, it was Indoneasia. Remember Cuba, the Bay of Pigs? Vietnam, Cambodia, Grenada Lebanon EL Salvador, Nicaragua, Libya in in 86? OR How about IRAN the next year? 1989 it was Panamas turn, and then in 91, IRAQ, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan,,,, And Russia is doing What? What Hypocrisy!!!

[@manatee2500]

Johnny -- We admit this, Putin and his State Media claim innocence, or the anti-imperial left explain it away that they're just operating within Putin's self-defined sphere of influence. I thought it was intellectually honest to condemn both wrongs?

[@tracywhite4134]

Thank you Glenn for intelligence and common sense. Keep on doing what you do. This country has to wake up and get their heads out of their cell phones. Heads up America lift your head and breath in the last 20 years. Find out what you have been missing while you are so busy texting, taking pictures of yourselves and the food you eat. Photos of everything you think other people give a shit about. Wake up get off your ass's and start giving a crap about this country and where were heading if we don't start taking action.

[@barticusmaximus1230]

Funny, when the US does it, it's called bringing freedom to (insert country).

[@tubester4567]

I dont trust Glenn Greenwald.

[@JellyDonat]

glen the men

[@pauldailey4477]

The problem is way bigger than all the gentiles of this world.

[@Kjf2691]

I'd argue the difference between the wmd people and Russia hack people is that the Russia hack people are much more self righteous and have a smarter than thou attitude

[@hownow8384]

"...its obvious to anybody minimally literate..." bahahah, f k i love greenwald.

[@nosuchthing8]

I will take the word of 17 (!) us intel agencies over one random dude any day. lol.

[@Jack.Nimble]

Everybody relax. Trump will make everything better.

[@suziegreer7975]

I've not actually put anything out all I have done is taken stuff and sat on it it's my fault but I want you to protect my family I only did this to protect Julian Assange etc etc etc now I feel there may be something gone awry im in a spot

[@knewdles]

Well okay - the alt right has a deflection machine too. Good work Glen! I offer you my vodka rations! Gifted deflections comrade! Carrying water for the soviets is so refreshing to Uncle Vlad.

[@ng38477]

Both Trump and Hilary were awful candidates. It was lose-lose. I don't ever want to see Hilary in government ever again. She was a very flawed candidate. I think the Democrat's loss is due to both the retardation of Trump voters, anger of people tired of both sides, and Hilary's disconnect from people who felt left behind. However, Trump's behavior with Russia is bizarre. We sat through Benghazi and the Email BS that won't die. Too bad. It's Trump's turn. It doesn't mean no one should look into it. The Republicans don't seem keen to doing so. I'm tired of hearing complaining about "poor Trump" and everyone trying to delegitimize the same man who tried for years, to prove that Obama was Kenyan Muslim. I wish the news would focus on something else and let the investigations keep going but, this needs to get looked at and I feel zero sympathy for Trump.

[@suziegreer7975]

I was trying to save America Julian etc

[@tonycollyweston]

is democracy now along with Glenn Greenwald working for the Putin ?

[@suziegreer7975]

When Donald Trump was near to getting in power I knew this was a critical time not just for America or Britain but further afield I also was armed with a lot more plus the latest disclosures came about partly through me because I went down the rabbit hole the problem is though and I know this may sound a little paranoid Hillary Clinton has something missing from her personality I'm afraid I've worked my head of trying to see the conclusions and the arrivals of what to me seems like a rather dramatic lifestyle, driving herself to the bone to get the people to love her. All I can see here is has she been abused by a male because she isnt like the typical female when it comes to acting out. Women are known for acting out at least some of them but being in a position of power, basically having that thrust on you and being female isn't the recipe for all out world peace at least not Hillary. I worry and have worried all my life in fact as an infant when I heard my mum and dad accidentally disclosing that, my grandma worked in an amunitions factory for the second world war and got burns all down her legs. I was a source of interest to the intelligence party/party's of whoever I didn't understand it at the time.the fact of the matter is I am the type of person who will back down if someone is making an argument against me just to save them from themselves. I know a bit about psychology because I've had to with the tag of autism hanging round my head but, that's my strength. Now I believe that Donald Trump came into this with misslaid good intentions, but now he's completely out of his depth.

[@IJ72]

Putin is coming. USA is scared. HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@leonardwalker8142]

Greenwald assumes to know as much as the intelligence community, but doesn't say why he doubts their assessment of the hacking

[@urbancarpet]

He's commented on that in an earlier interview...the hacking story is completely fabricated and in spite of the cia's lame attempt to prop up the lie, has been absolutely proven False.

[@glamp43]

Maybe because the intelligence community haven't presented any tangible proof. Maybe because the intelligence community have repeatedly lied to Americans for decades and decades, the very same people they're supposed to be serving.

[@leonardwalker8142]

Zee Ter What's been proven false? Also, it's not only the CIA... it's the FBI, NHI, and 14 other organizations within that community. Not sure what you're talking about

[@leonardwalker8142]

glamp43 As far as presenting proof, that's happening as we speak with the briefing of Trump. Even afterwards he won't believe it, and you won't either

[@glamp43]

I think what he's talking about is that these intelligence communities that you laud have absolutely no credibility anymore. Their lies go back to the Gulf of Tonkin incident. They lied about WMDs. They lied about Benghazi. They lied about all of the innocent people killed by Obama's drones. They lied about the spying being done on American citizens. I could go on and on and on. The big question here really is why do you still believe anything they say?
