glenn greenwald jones is now. this was a shocking story.u were really stunned to see it. what happened? >> you know, i was kind of reluctant to write about it. it happened a month ago.t when you are a journalist, you don't want to write about your own problems but i was encouraged to buy journalist and friends of mine who work on the crime beat who said this is a good opportunity to convey to people, especially with skyrocketing crime rates in major american cities, about how brutalizing and traumatizing it can be even if nobody ends up dead. so i decided to tell the story, very similar to what you just said. around 9:00 at night, i heard my dogs barking incessantly. went out to see why and suddenly there were three men all with guns pointed directly at me ordering me into this room and when i went in there they are ready the he was lying on the ground and they were standing over him with guns pointed at his head and i was very relieved when they began demanding money because my first thought was that this could be a politically targeted cr

joining us now, glenn greenwald, a journalist who writes on substack.ople who are charged here raising money, they're not charged with violent acts but breaching security at the capitol and tells a little about the blowback you got for the criticism. >> sure. so it's really based on my idea of journalism and not just my idiosyncratic idea but one commonly accepted in the profession for decades. there's a saying in journalism, cited by the pulitzer committee, which is that the role of the journalist is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable meaning that our job is to turn a light not on powerless people, those who we're supposed to be defending but the corruption of power centers, governments, security states, large corporations. what the usa story did was exactly the opposite, target r&d private citizens, people who are indigent and are charged with serious issues, who are entitled to a vigorous defense and they were trying to raise money online so they could defend themselves against the full weight of the justice department crashing down

glenn greenwald has written about this. we are happy to have him on. you can read his analysis.l. thank you for coming on. so what's your reaction to this fact? >> so, obviously, tucker, i have been on your show many times over the last five years analyzing media lies that completely fell apart and usually i think that happens because of just gross irresponsibility and recklessness like they just don't care if what they are say something true. >> tucker: right. >> they are saying to please the partisan responsibilities. i don't think that's true. i think they did care. they lied on purpose. i say that because it was vital to be able to claim that a pro-trump mob on january 6th murdered somebody because about that being true it would mean that all the people who died that day were pro-trump protesters. three of them died of natural causes, one of whom was shot by a capitol hill police. it's very difficult to depict this protested as this menacing insurrection if they actually killed nobody and they themselves were killed. he became so central to their narrative that they valor ri

joining me now, glenn greenwald, author of "securing democracy." ow that you are very aware of how much fact-checkers these days now try to assert things being true or false in ways that kind of reestablish the power of the media to determine reality. it's something that we saw happen, you know, repeatedly under the trump administration, throughout the russia hoax and everything else within the spirit this seems to be one latest example of how the stande completely different depending on the politician they are targeting. >> right, so as the public faith and trust in journalism collapses, as all polls show, as and as they realize as their industry is failing, they are constantly looking for ways to reestablish and reassert their authority and their right to control the discourse, demanding that dissenting voices be censored from the internet is one way, but calling their journalism something different like fact-checking, as though that is a very objectively verifiable enterprise, another way to bestow on themselves authority. in principle, i do not

glenn greenwald. author of "securing democracy."uld all see that corporate media has adopted the language and agenda of the democratic party and they are participating in partisan politics more than i have seen it in my lifetime and they do it under the guise of compassion and open-mindedness. but tell us what you think is really going on. >> a couple of things are going on. number one, i think all of those trends you just identified severely worsening during the trump area. beginning in 2016 they had no expectation trump would win. when he did, it was an incredible shock to the system of media and political experts who felt they loss control over the discourse. they convinced themselves what they were dealing with was not a president hop they thanked ideological disagreements. but actually a hitler figure. they would say that's explicitly over the last couple years. if you believe that, that you are on the front lines where you are defending american democracy from a nazi movement and half the country supports this evil, you are wi

or staying in latin america is on contact or spoken with a journalist glenn greenwald on the death threats he and his family received after greenwald reported on corruption among brazil's elite. journalistic tactic is one that actually 1st noticed when i started writing about politics in 2005 there had been a coup attempt in venezuela in 2002 to oust hugo chavez editorialize that it was a an attempt to restore democracy in this us back by installing what they called a respected business leader and it's step away from an attempt to step away from dictatorship and this is what the us media has been doing for decades calling us supported coups where they overthrow democratically elected governments and install you a pro u.s. dictators they call it and herald it as a victory for democracy and that's exactly what they did in 1064 they called it a revolution instituted by brazilians who are tired of communists corruption in tyranny and a century jeem as a manifestation of liberty and freedom. it is ati international 3 hour of israeli men have been arrested on officers injured as fireworks on roc

glenn greenwald wrote and i want to get your reaction this is the people who call themselves journalist repeat over and over and over evidence free cia claims telling those who trust them to believe it is nothing short of repulsive are we too quick to like but we're not too quick but i mean it just boggles my mind how quick the media will just jump on anything that someone on a missing person says from the cia or the intelligence committee no i think that's absolutely true and that's happened regardless of what administration or what you know partisan stripe is in power i do think that when it comes to the russian bounty issue what we saw was a quake in the media even during the time that it was released most people knew that there wasn't enough to actually make it true they didn't have anything to substantiate such a case but i think that victory all for the trump administration was so high that at that point it was just something else we can tag the top administration for even though there were 5000 other really legitimate and that they had to back it up and that's the dangerous thing

glenn greenwald. one, we've talked about this curious delay in establishing a cause of death for perhaps the most famous person to die as a result, supposedly, what happened on january 6 -- januar. why aren't they releasing it? >> it's really bizarre. the reason it so important, is he's the only person they can claim actually died as a result of violence by pro-trump supporters. they spent a month claiming this whole story that he had his head bashed in by a fire extinguisher by a pro-trump mod that turned out to be totally false. it even ended up out of joe biden's mouth, and being part of the record of the impeachment trial against false trumpappeared to this day, we dt know why he died. this new report makes clear that everyone else we know the cause, with him, we don't. how can that be? how is it that they won't release the autopsy? why is it remaining such a mystery? >> mark: it's actually disgraceful the capital city of the so supposedly free nation. in your new book which came out yesterday, yo

twitter banned the story for two weeks while other news outlets didn't even cover it but journalist glenn greenwald change now. >> we should be revisiting it regardless because the real story is not just what that document showed about biden and china and ukraine but also the abuse of power by facebook and the democrats to censor a major story right before an election. it was incredible interference and manipulation for the right to vote in the right to be heard. >> kennedy: now that we have confirmation about one of the most critical aspects of the story, you remember then candidate joe biden said it was all fresh and chicanery but now you have hunter biden admitting it was his. is it time for the media especially those from the white house to bring up some very serious questions? >> guy: yes. is it going to happen? probably not. and it's not full confirmation. can we talk about how ridiculous that answer was? it certainly might be my laptop, and might be russia, and might of been stolen, who's to say? they've never actually denied the authenticity of the material. so i expect someone like that to
