elizabeth: the intercept founding editor, glenn greenwald in his column published yesterday really wentte, resistance journalism that has taken over many in the media in the trump era and we welcome him now. great to have you on, glenn. can you explain what you mean? >> actually comes from a newly-published column by "the new york times" media reporter ben smith who was editor-in-chief of buzzfeed where he raised questions about some of the reporting done by ronan farrow concerning sexual assault cases in the "me too" movement, he said it is part of a broader problem of resistance journalism. as long as you're member of media you can say whatever you want, attack whoever you want, no matter how shabby your methods are and discredited your stories end up being as long as the narrative you're promote something popular among liberal elites on social media and also is targeted at people who are sufficiently hated. so it is a completely fact-free activity that journalism has become, resistance journalism in the trump era where you can gain all kinds of career benefits, exploding social media

>> officer, i don't understan understand -- >> martha: joining me now, glenn greenwald, pulitzer prize-winningt. glenn, good to have you with us. first of all, what was your reaction when you watch that video this morning? >> i thought it was harrowing, anytime you see armed agents of the state arresting journalists for essentially doing their job, standing in the middle of the street, reporting on an extraordinarily newsworthy event that the entire country is discussing, it seems like a clear abuse of state power. obviously, there is a lot of confusion in these kinds of scenes when there's protesting and rioting taking place, i certainly understand it's not easy to be a police officer, but when you do put on the badge and are armed by the state, you have the obligation to uphold core, basic freedoms and rights, including freedom of the press. in this case, the officers acted incredibly recklessly. you see the reporter is trying to be responsible, trying to be cooperative, and he ended up under arrest while he was reporting. it was a really direct attack on a free press. >> martha: yeah. one o

liz: kristen, glenn greenwald saying it blew up in the obama administration, using the problem is inia is exacerbating it, it's about tribal loyalty, about whose side are you on and it's not about which policies you support, it's not a policy debate, it's do you like this guy or do you not, now we have former cia director john brennan lashing back that president trump is doing worse propaganda and disinformation in russia. >> the press and frankly a lot of our representatives in washington, d.c. are tearing the country apart at its seams because of the polarization in the tribalism, a lot of people on the left in particular have abandoned long-standing principles about the justice system, but you do not have to agree with flynn's political views to understand that what happens to him is terrifying. none of us should want to live in a country where people in washington, d.c. can weaponize security agencies, the fbi, the nsa to go after any citizen and spy on us unconstitutionally. it is really sad to see was going on. exactly, it is a huge scandal, but i think the media is finally bei

and jimmy dore, glenn greenwald to come ty eb.s amazing work of on behalf of showing with the charade is, and, they were not embracing the team. they were embracing the truth. >> dana: victor david hanson wrote a piece for the american conservative talk about how it used to be the left that would get outraged about government overreach like this. and we do want to talk to you about this, the supreme court has denied house democrats request for now on the documents from the mueller nomination. house democrats have been asking this for over a year. it doesn't sound like they are inclined to turn over this material. >> that's a strong victory for this administration. if that email is to be believed, this email that was memorializing a meeting at the white house set weeks earlier, then the head of the fbi was concerned about a potential russian asset for sharing of classified information based on an uptick of communications frequency. not based on contents and not based on probable cause, classified information was being shared, not e

this was put up by glenn greenwald's group. it's not republicans pushing this. it's progressive.rominent need to lawyer -- me to lawyer, doing an open tweet to the accuser saying i believe you, tara reade, but i'm still supporting joe biden. even admitted he has a history of touching people. basically saying it's nothing personal and i thought how awful that was until i realized holy crap, she's really honest. she's actually an honest liberal. she's doing the opposite of all the other democrats, she is saying i know he's guilty but i'm still going to support him because i hate trump. at least she's being honest. everybody else has to bite their tongue because they want to be vp. they all want to be vice president. to all the women, they are going i support joe biden even though we've heard everything that everybody else was heard. finally, we still haven't figured out how to deal with this stuff in general. how do you fight this in the public square. if he's innocent, if joe is innocent as kavanaugh was, then this is unfair and dad. it's awful for him. if he's guilty, that he mus

glenn greenwald cofounded the inter-sap.ee probably on a lot politically, but from day one he has taken an enormous amount of abuse for being skeptical of the russia story. we are happy to have him on tonight. i can't get past this one question. and you probably know more about this than anybody i know personally.ny the question of how did the emails get from the dnc server to wikileaks? it is starting to look like they were leaked by a dnc staffer who was mad that the hillary campaign was siding with the dnc. do you think that's how they got there? how did they get to wikileaks? >> i don't think we know. that was the point all along. the original heresy inte russiagate that got many of us expelled from the halls of decent company was questioning the declaration from security state agencies who have a history of lying, declaring definitively that russia was behind the hacks. and all you had to do in order to be declared a heretic and journalism was to say i would actually like to see some evidence for that. i'm not saying th
