Glenn Greenwald Interviews Rep. Tulsi Gabbard About Foreign Policy and Her 2020 Campaign
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2019
- Ever since Tulsi Gabbard was first elected to Congress in 2012, she has been assertively independent, heterodox, unpredictable, and polarizing. Viewed at first as a loyal Democrat and guaranteed future star by party leaders - due to her status as an Iraq War veteran, a telegenic and dynamic young woman, and the first Hindu and Samoan American ever elected to Congress - she has instead become a thorn in the side, and frequent critic, of those same party leaders that quickly anointed her as the future face of the party.
Gabbard’s transformation from cherished party asset to party critic and outcast was rapid, and was due almost entirely to her insistence on following her own belief system and evolving ideology rather than party dogma and the long-standing rules for Washington advancement.
Glenn Greenwald sat down with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to discuss a wide range of issues, including the reasons she is running for president, her views on Trump’s electoral appeal and what is necessary to defeat it, the rise of right-wing populism internationally, the Trump/Russia investigation, criticisms she has received regarding her views of Islam and certain repressive leaders, and her unique foreign policy viewpoints.
This interview is intended to be the first in a series of in-depth interviews with influential and interesting U.S. political figures, including but not limited to 2020 presidential candidates, designed to enable deeper examinations than the standard cable or network news format permits.

Good god, a journalist actually asking clear relevant questions and a person actually answering them, holy smokes.
How are relevant?? He's completely biased. The journalists he's citing as his sources are even more biased. OMG you Americans clearly have no idea how the outside world works. Get out of your fucking wells.
@Kate Baldwin In the part where he said PM Narendra Modi was somehow fascist. He has a clear agenda.
I couldn't agree more. I was thinking exactly the same thing. Proper questions with no bad faith smears.
Almost seems like a setup lol. I'm not a Democrat but I do have mad respect for both of these people. Tulsi has a moral fortitude that is inspiring.

A more correct term would be a radical Hindi Nationalist.
Sorry for the confusion.
My favourite US journalist interviewing my favourite US Presidential Candidate
fabribeijing you made a good point. What do you think about Tulsi as a Secretary of State, Elizabeth Warren as a Vice President, and Bernie Sanders as a president? That would be a kick ass Team don’t you think?
@@ubiased23 Elizabeth Warren is a terrible person. Who the heck fakes being a Native American to further their career, identify as a Native American on her application and capitalizs on faking Native American heritage and just gets away with it, sight unseen? How the heck does Elizabeth Warren get away with that? Isn't that racist or something like that? I don't know anymore because everyone and everything in 2019 America is racist.
NPC Junk Ogre, TYT Head NPC you didn’t even read second half of my sentence.
@@ubiased23 my bad. It appeared as if you were normalizing Elizabeth Warren and heaping praise on her as if she's a good person or a reputable person or worthy of our respect or something. My apologies.
@@patrickpinch2929 Yawn. The only problem with Warren as someone who chose to identify as Native American was her refusal to support the folks fighting DAPL.
Glenn should moderate the US presidential debates. Excellent questions.
I'm 3 minutes in and he's trying to get a "baseline" on what her policies are. None of them were couched in the right-wing frame of reference...so yeah, that's not going to work for the mainstream media.
Tulisi is the greatest breath of fresh air to emerge in the USA.
Stay strong. Win or lose you will not be alone. Only a Corrupt system can beat you.
Sadly she is running against a corrupt system sooo hope your wrong.
one i tulsi
I am Norwegian. I want to interfere in the next american presidential election. I want Tulsi Gabbard as the next president of the USA. Love from Norway!
That gets a vote and interference from Denmark too.
@@RSFO I love Denmark! In fact i live and work here. Let's do what we can to make America great. Let's help them to change their minds. Tulsi Gabbard 2020 ;-)
@@hansmarheim7620
How about we just hack their elections? Also, Vikings were there before the Anglo-Saxons. We should be allowed to dictate the outcome. ;)
samme her 😅
@@RSFO Cool!
This is the first interview of Tulsi I have seen since she announced her run where questions have been raised in a coherent way which lays the ground for a constructive discussion. I like Glenn's approach and substance and I love Tulsi's answers. I believe she is someone who is willing to listen and grow when/where needed. I am fully committed to voting for her in 2020 and promoting her candidacy among people I know. I hope there are more interviews between these two individuals.
HRivera pls spread the word abt her. Most of the people don’t know her. It is imperative for us to campaign for her to people we know and social media.
Another great interview: ruclips.net/video/5ybH9p2uFiE/видео.html
Thank you, Glenn, for asking questions many of us have had wanted answers to. You're one of the few journalists who actually knows what their job is.
I have not voted since 2008. I would vote for Tulsi.
By not voting at all you are part of the problem. I don't care if you write your own name in to protest the options you have... but vote.
@Kyle Duncan All of them. Or are you happy with everything? Cause I'm not. Do you want change? Vote for it. Every election matters, not just the presidential election and you are ignoring them all. There are also referendums. Vote on them otherwise you aren't fighting for what's right and that makes you part of the problem. All evil needs is for good men to do nothing. Well you are doing nothing.
The establishment loves and counts on apathy like yours. They love it when you don't vote. Don't go down without a fight. Let the powers that be know what you want, and what you don't want, by voting.
@Kyle Duncan Regarding, "But all of the problems are from people not voting?" I never said anything even close to this... and for good reason. Part of the problem =/= all of the problem.
Regarding, "I mean more people voting isn't always the best answer." It is if we want more people to be represented by our government. And I want a government that is more representative of us all.
Regarding, "Shouldn't we be advocating for an informed voting public not just more people voting." Obviously. And I obviously was not trying to give a comprehensive list of all the ways to make things better. I was giving but one way of many.
Regarding, "But not voting is still a message. You are advocating for a protest vote." A protest vote is far superior because it demonstrates that you want to vote and are going to go vote. When you don't vote at all you may as well be the guy no longer looking for work who isn't counted by most unemployment measures ... as the powers that be stop giving a shit about you so much they won't even count you. Are you happy with the two party system? Cause I'm not. So do something about it. Find a third party candidate to support who does share your values if the major parties don't. Don't just stay home. Let people know what you do want, not just what you don't want.
Regarding, "But theoretically if not one American voted in the Presidential election not even the candidates running. Who is in power?" I am not high. I revisit this the next time I'm tripping balls.
Regarding, "You are telling me that the millions of people who voted for Obama twice and didn't vote for Hillary or at all weren't heard?" Not nearly as much as they could have been heard if they went out and voted for someone who wasn't a piece of shit. Over half the country didn't vote... when they could have all just gone out and voted for someone decent... and won.
@Kyle Duncan You are part of all problems =/= all of the problems are from people not voting?
There is plenty of blame to go around. God damn. This is not rocket science.
@Kyle Duncan Let me try to explain with a specific problem... money in politics. When you don't go out and vote for a candidate who isn't selling their soul to big money you are part of that problem being perpetuated because you aren't trying to do something about it with your vote. That doesn't mean that you are the only one to be blamed for it. Politicians selling their soul and the big money interests buying those politicians are far more to blame than you. But you are still part of that problem because you aren't voting and using that power you have to try and do something about it.
Glenn, I'm a combat veteran of the US war against Viet-Nam.
Thank you for this fair, impartial interview with Tulsi.
When were you in Nam? Several tours?
John, if you answer that, my next quetions will be: "how was life coming back?
(just so you are prepared - btw I hope that's ok)
Keep it up Tulsi, they will fight you the whole way but your message is landing here on the ground and your appeal will get the non voters out and win the vote of Independents, conservatives and true libertarians and progressives. I am tracking the comments on your appearance on social media and it’s like 98% positive. WE need you and I am spreading the word! And it’s fun and easy to turn people on to you.
jenny hansen please that is very very important...spreading the word into non-political people is a must. Think 80% people don’t know her. Kudos goes to you for that .Thanks again.
Amar Bose
I’m afraid they will do to her what Minnesota
“lawmakers” did to Jessy Ventura.
They killed ALL the legislations for the People
Or worse, have her die in a “plane accident”.
💚 PLEASE BE CAREFUL 💚
@@njosborne6152 the good news is she is a soldier .....being one I can assure you fear of one possible crap outcome does not stop us. Also in terms of he'd own capacity for situational awareness is through the roof compared to an average civilian. Lastly if anyone would have contacts for hand picked close protection details ....it'd be Tulsi. You have to remember that she's a Major ....their testing and requirements are like an intense MBA....her organizational skills plus prioritizing will be second nature . I think Americans could use a little more Aloha .
Jenny, I wish I could say it was fun and easy to turn folks on to Tulsi. I love her but make very little headway in getting anyone to take her or me seriously. I'm such a failure.😟
Tulsi knows how to build concordance with the leaders of China, Russia, India, Japan, Italy, etc. Then the world can have - a New Bretton Woods financial architecture!
Couple of the most honest people in news/politics.
I'm an anti-war, right-wing libertarian and I'm so glad to have these two as allies in fighting the war machine.
Would it not be nice if Tulsi was a Secretary of State in the next Trump administration?
@@IliyaOsnovikov Trump would have to get rid of the likes of Bolton and Pompeo for that to really work out...not too likely
@@SaveTheTrees333 I think he will get rid of them. Venezuela failure should sink them both.
@@IliyaOsnovikov You are living in a dream. Trump eventually kicking Evil Cap'n Crunch and Plumpeo to the curb is an easy prediction. But Tulsi? Our orange megalomaniac psychopath would never-ever appoint anyone, unless they sang dithyrambs to him and with Tulsi you know that ain't happening.
One true word of integrity of any presidential candidate: 'End the regime change wars.' Tulsi deserves the key leadership position!
I appreciate the close questioning...not soft ball. Tulsi is impressive AND believable. Good work!
Greenwald is a real journalist and Gabbard we need as President.
I think she’s impressive too. I don’t really believe her, but that’s American politics these days. It’s an arena for actors.
@@timv1.082 Theatre for sure but the words are true....they are her own. I believe a person is evaluated by their history and their actions as well as their friends. She comes off rather well I believe but I appreciate what you are saying.
@@xanbex8324 I think you are right and agree. Many I think had the excitement with Obama followed by an anti climax
She didn't answer about tactics like drone assassinations and Guantanamo Bay, just deflected to "Al Qaeda started it" without addressing the actual question, and he let her get away with it completely. Most of the interview was good, but they both backed down from a critical question there, and then acted as if they didn't. I can only logically infer that she does support ongoing drone assassinations and indefinite detention/torture prisons for never-tried captives with the "collateral damage" of each and the endless nature of a war on the existence of a tactic (which amounts to high tech terrorism that motivates endless low tech terrorism in reaction, and hangs as a threat over the head of anyone who crosses the government of the U.S.). That's a pretty big issue to act like a standard U.S. politician on.
What a rarity. Real journalism and a genuine candidate!
Tulsi was calm, confident and poised in answering the relevant and tough questions from one of the best journalists in the country. Bravo! Tulsi, I am with you all the way!
I thought I woke up in an alternate time line.
I'm not a democrat, but I would vote for her in some capacity.
Donate 5 bucks. Best vote ever.
Look up your state's Primary voting rules, register, and punch her name on the ticket.
Two people I have tremendous respect for. Great interview!
I agree, but unfortunately both have relatively very low followings. (You will find them near the bottom of the below listing.)

It appears Tulsi realizes U.S. is COMPLICIT in Yemen War Crimes
ruclips.net/video/-jouLK2XLFA/видео.html
Caucusing for Tulsi at the 3rd Democratic Party primary in Nevada. My 99 y.o. WW2 RN lifelong anti-war Veteran mother adores Tulsi and can't wait to caucus for her too.
Incredible.
Fabulous
Much appreciated!
@BS Allergy TY! Was too young to vote for her myself, but I knocked on doors for her. Still my all-time favorite candidate.
THANK YOU! Keep up the good work.
Tulsi Gabbard is one of the 2 adults in the race, and has my support all the way
I am from Canada....Tulsi Gabbard would be one of the greatest presidents the USA has ever had....She is the only one who had the guts to take on the Congressional Industrial Military Complex...which is the root problem of all of Americas problems...
Big fan of Glen and Tulsi from Dublin, Ireland
How many presidential candidates have the guts to sit down for an interview with Glenn Greenwald? Only one. Tulsi Gabbard. Excellent (and very challenging) questions from Greenwald -- great responses from Gabbard.
Bernie went on Fox news, this should be challenging enough.
And actually he scored a touchdown. Just watch:
ruclips.net/video/p4ozAACcc8I/видео.html
@@richardpetek712 I dont believe Bernie would hesitate.
Sanders did a great job on Fox, yes, but Gabbard has been digging deeper into even more "taboo" issues (i.e. US imperialism) which I greatly admire her for. I don't think Sanders is a hoax, he's just playing a dangerous political game, one which might blow up in his face (again). I hope it doesn't, and I hope he succeeds, but I wish he started a new party when he had the momentum (like NOW). Still I believe there's a chance, but only if Gabbard and Sanders team up. That is likely to happen since she was going to be his VP pick in 2016. The two are on the same team -- she stepped down as DNC vice-chair to back him. They also complement each other nicely (Sanders on domestic issues, Gabbard on foreign), she's just speaking more truth lately.
She is the most forthcoming candidate. She doesn’t double-talk around questions, she answers them, head-on, with her convictions.
She is OUR voice. We were lied to & sent to an illegal invasion. Don’t let oligarchs send our kids to illegal wars.
Iraq war veterans unite!
#Tulsi2020
Lol how does it feel now knowing she is straight up a Russian plant?
I want Tulsi Gabbard as a President and Bernie Sanders as Vice or vice versa Bernie as President and Tulsi Gabbard as Vice...
Totally Voting for both
Yes. Personally, I am more in favor of a Sanders/Gabbard ticket for 2020. To me, Bernie represents the best of the "old guard". I would like to see him get a chance to set our domestic policy straight in regards to health care, education, and tax reform (backed up by a strong and intelligent woman with perhaps a better grasp of foriegn and military policy) while making way for the younger generation in 2024 and beyond. Let's play the long game.
Tulsi 100% Sanders is a wack job.
The main thing is to GET THE ORANGE CLOWN with the "BIG BUTTON" O U T -- and soon! Save the P L A N E T and billions of human lives . . . .
Wow. One of the few *serious* interviews with Tulsi Gabbard. Thanks.
I hope her message of service catches on. This country could use a selfless public servant setting the tone for the rest of the country.
@@Chawaonga what r u think of Wahhabi Saudi Arabia? and what her stands on that?
Imran Khan It would help if we weren’t propping Saudi Arabia up! The CIA was really quite “helpful” in spreading this extremist form of Islam around the region. Bin Ladin was on the CIA payroll. He was sent into Afghanistan to help train and prop up the Taliban to fight the Russians back in the 80’s. If you look at people living in Afghanistan prior to the Taliban take over, it was rather progressive with its treatment of women, etc.
That quagmire that was created in a foreign country to “proxi” fight the USSR (as it was known back then as), helped to lead to the downfall and ending of the USSR communist block of countries. Russia today is nothing like the USSR was from WW2 until the 80’s.
After that Afghanistan, CIA, Taliban build up of extremist Islamic teachings and such, we then see a conflict pop up in Yugoslavia/ Serbia. Then it was onto terrorist activities. And insert 9-11... which should, by now, have many people questioning the “official” narrative. There is a reason most of the hijackers of the planes were from Saudi Arabia. There was a reason they used Bin Ladin “bogey man” to terrorize the American People into supporting a “reorganization” of the Middle East.
It’s incredibly interesting how well Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the USA all seem to work tangentially in the re-shaping of the Middle East and now parts of Africa and South America. Where there is a resource of some kind, like oil, the USA is all about asserting authority in order to control the corporate interests.
Does anyone think it odd that President Obama and Trump both have bragged about the USA exporting more oil than importing oil? Why are we exporting any of it, if we clearly have enough oil in this country to run the country? The reality is that oil is not owned by us/ the Govt. The oil production is run by private corporations. They are the one’s who decide how the show is run. They are the one’s who set the prices. OPEC pretty much decides the market and the “spigot flow”. So, when Saddam Hussein decides to, at will, change the price of oil that he was selling, it created instability on the market and less profit for the corporations running OPEC. Obviously, that guy had to go. Similarly, the corporations and monied interests want to be able to control the profits from the national oil. Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia. The corporate entities want private control over the Venezuelan people’s oil. So, the USA has placed sanctions, staged coups, and more recently, flooded the market, via means of Saudi Arabia overproducing barrels of oil. The barrel of oil is at a low rate in comparison to past years. But if you notice, every time the USA tries to insert the puppet regime in some manner, gas prices increase. When Venezuela doesn’t fall to the USA attempts, then the gas prices start falling down a bit.
I think at the end of the day, it is past time we, as American citizens, push for and demand we remove ourselves from oil energy! The industry controls the worldwide over. We spend too much money on the Military Industrial Complex (policing the world) to insure that the petrol dollar remains in place and the USA remains the top empire. It’s old world thinking. It’s greed and corruption. And it’s killing this country!
It’s really important that people start seeing the history of this country, know the players, and understand why they can’t have “nice things” like health care, clean water and air, housing, transportation, education... Its important to be able to identify what is occurring and why it’s occurring! Reacting to the latest “false flag” attempt, believing any of the Neo-con/liberal agenda in any manner, and understanding why we have a Trump following the same playbook as all other Presidents regarding regime change war, oil profit model.
This country desperately needs a Tulsi Gabbard! I only worry for her safety if she does become much more viable as a presidential candidate. I very much support having Bernie and Tulsi in the race. It’s 2 strong voices for working for the people and the planet. And it would be hard to knock or bump off 2 candidates running on very similar platforms. And honestly, let’s face it, Bernie is pretty old. Anything could happen, and we have Tulsi. I’m very supportive of these two teaming up as a Pres/VP ticket. Her presence alone would keep Bernie from waffling on foreign policy issues. His Venezuela answers sucked... And he was called out on it. Having her close to him would keep him strong. A large source of money for domestic agendas is tied up in the MIC. Spending less there leaves more for programs Americans need.
Imran Khan I don’t find her to be bigoted against Muslim people. She clearly defines the radical type of teaching that Saudi Arabia is exporting around the region (and after 20-30 yrs of CIA/ USA military interference) it’s not too hard to find recruits. I find it similar to me calling out any extremist religious organizations teachings. The extreme Christians that we have in this country have actually been more of a terrorist threat to this country than any outside influence.
Also, remember, Tulsi is a Hindu. She keeps getting lobbed in as a “Modi Lover” from India because of her religious preference. She understands the smear of religious bigotry. So, I find people choosing to assert she’s a bigot to be ill informed. And I can understand why! Our media and the DNC and the PTB are scared of this woman who hits all their brackets on “identity politics”, and also has incredibly progressive domestic policy while also taking on the Military Industrial Complex. She’s a force to be reckoned with if people had the time to do research. I think the debate stage will really help people in America take a first look. I can imagine she will be googled heavily. And she only helps a Bernie sided conversation on the stage. It’s not so radical when there are a couple of people running that have taken stances that the American people support. She’s a Peace candidate! She’s and environmental champion (and has written legislation for an initiative off of oil.. it’s called the “Off Act” and AOC should be co-signing that). She was standing strong with Veterans at Standing Rock. She left the DNC to support Bernie. She really is like a Wonder Woman.
I loved this interview!! Glenn looks like he doesnt want to ask her the tough questions, but he kepts his journalistic integrity and did it. Then Tulsi was, as usual, handled herself amazingly. "The U.S. should stay out"
Both of these folks give hope for the species.
Woman are the better species
TULSI is a strong intelligent candidate WE NEED TO HEAR MORE FROM HER thanks 👍 😊 🌻
The love for Tulsi is SURREAL!
She Sain and everyone is sick of this shit
One of the most intellectual interviews I have heard. Go Glenn and Tulsi.
Amazing interview Glenn!
Thanks so much for covering Tulsi with such a interesting, intelligent and informative interview.
#TulsiGabbard is my favorite and most intelligent candidate and you are among my favorite journalists.
Thank you Tulsi. You are a real American Hero and I stand with you politically and financially.
Wow! thanx Tulsi n Glen, thats an interview!!! Show what quality News can reach, more please
I appreciate Glenn's work, but in this interview he was really rubbing me the wrong way a lot of the time - basically white-knighting for Muslim-extremism....
Yes, US (and other Western) imperialism is *ALSO* bad, and is *also* a big part of what causes the problem, but this doesn't mean that the sort of Wahabbi Salafism that countries like Saudi Arabia so aggressively export aren't a huge problem that needs to be addressed head-on rather than pussy-footing around.
He also drew a false equivalence by trying to compare Modi's government in India (which I'm by no means a fan of!) with Islamist extremism.
Also Assad, for all his faults, *does not* oppress religious minorities, as Glenn suggested - quite the opposite actually! He *protects* Christians, Druze, Shia Muslims, and other religious minority groups. Same with Sisi's government in Egypt, which is far from perfect, but is certainly much better than the Muslim Brotherhood regime it replaced, which was complicit in the persecution of Egypt's Coptic Christian community!
@@Chawaonga So, the guy who makes sense is the troll?
Not a word on AIPAC or Israel?? That was weak shit.
@@Bike_Lion In correcting people's impressions of Assad's Syria then Egypt you have tipped way way over to portray oppressive regimes which use wide spread torture and other authoritarian suppressive activities including using devastating military weapons on civilians in Assad's case as some sort of benign protector of minorities. They very much aren't.
Assad Syria does oppress people you list, its not an explicit religious oppression (though it has elements of such) but a political oppression and has a protected class, a separate ethnoreligious group called the Alawites. (a sub sect of Shia). The Baathist state has long played off one group against another in Syria's complex multi ethnic/ religious makeup, and used fears of domination by the slight Sunni Arab majority to justify its oppression. That this strategy has continued into the civil war isn't a net positive.
In fact the descent into religious tension and conflict in the middle east with the breakup of the Ottoman Empire (a multi ethnic and multi religious entity) can be directly tied to imposition by western powers of completely artificial national states constructed to be oppressive regimes from the get go in order to allow the easiest extraction of resources from and through the region for first France and Britain, then the US. Its why these 3 powers every time it looked like a democratic and liberal movement started directly interfered to overthrow these pluralist movements. Syria in 1949 and Iran in 1953 being the classic examples but there have been numerous since. Even the issue of Wahabbi Salafism export from Saudi Arabia only happened because Britain (after 1927) and later the US, backed Ibn Saud's (who from the get go was aligned with extreme Wahabi sect) efforts to take over the country so they could have cheap access to the country's oil wealth.
Your narrative you have spun on this page is at best naively simplistic and grants positive agency to people like Assad and Sisi where none is deserved.
@@user-uy6uc5ey5q - You talk about "spinning simplistic narratives," and yet that's *precisely* what you're doing here.
You're pushing this myth of the "Alawite regime" which is simply not the case. Look at who holds most of the top government positions in Syria - Syria's prime minister, defense minister, foreign minister, deputy foreign minister, vice president, interior minister, deputy defense minister, director of military intelligence, etc. - all Sunni Muslims. Even Assad's wife is Sunni.
And yet the regime-change pushers keep pushing this myth of an "Alawite regime" which is totally bogus. Syria's government is secular and reflects the diversity of the country.
Also keep in mind that the US and its allies/proxies, including countries bordering Syria, spend years pouring shit tons of weapons, funding, and foreign fighters into "rebel" groups - mostly Islamist extremist terrorists - to try to overthrow the government. It would have fallen long long ago were it not for broad support among the Sunni majority.
Now none of this is to say that the Syrian government is perfect (what government is?!) or that significant reforms aren't needed, but it's certainly far better than ISIS or al-Qaeda controlling the country! Or some indefinite war like we've seen in Libya.
And likewise with Egypt. Sisi's government can certainly be criticized, but it's better than having the Muslim Brotherhood running the country!
With Saudi Arabia and the role the UK and US have played, I largely agree, though you didn't present any new information.
Like I said in other comments though, an analogy can be drawn to Nazism and other forms of fascism in early 20th century Europe....
The Western powers and businesses played a significant role in facilitating the rise of the Nazis and other fascists - seeing them as a useful bulwark against Communism. But this doesn't mean that Nazism/fascism weren't toxic ideologies in their own rights which needed to be called out and resisted. And the same goes for the Wahabbism that the Saudis have been exporting.
Kudos to Greenwald for making fair interview with the best candidate for 2020.
Fair interview what is fair talking about foreign matters in an interview which is for future of US that too without context
Tulsi is a exceptionally courageous presidential candidate to expose herself to a interview by Glen Greenwald! She is the most credible antiwar candidate.
I love Bernie Sanders but I love Tulsi gabbard even more. This woman is the real deal. Integrity compassion strength courage .
My thoughts too.
Bernie (and Biden) is too old.
Just out of curiosity, why do you love Bernie?
The only problem with this interview is that it's too short. Tough but fair questioning, all too rare these days.
We love you, Tulsi! Thank you for fighting the pro war/regime change rhetoric and working towards peace.
Seriously one of the best interviews I have seen so far
Well think twice . Why can't she just simply answer the questions in the video.These are perfectly legitimate questions. Bulldozing the questions won't help or silence them. INCONVENIENT but True

A non triggered and rational democrat. Rare
@Kytsche Check your privilege, mate. If the US reps think we can afford trillions of dollars for bank bailouts, I would be willing to bet it could afford to give a much needed monetary respite to the descendants of the victims from the US's abysmal domestic policy of slavery. Not to mention, your comment seems to infer a sense of ignorance to the notion of institutional racism that still plagues the US. To support legislation that improves the standard of living of an entire demographic is much better, as it proliferates more social upward mobility for our peoples, rather than keeping corporate ledgers in the black with our tax money. That's not even including the hole that is the US Military budget. Priorities are necessary, I personally believe the greatest of which is creating a vast coalition of the electorate, you do this by way of inclusive legislation that speaks to multiple demographics and their needs, as it is important to address all concerns. To be exclusive is to divide the house(us, we the people, vox populi, et al.), which we all know, "a house divided against itself cannot stand." Lincoln
@BKD Vickers oh they see it, they just don't really care if Trump wins again since it's what keeps them in business of being the corporate whores they are. They just pretend like in 'professional wrestling', it's all a show.
@@terranentity while America certainly used to have slaves/slaveowners, the problem with reparations comes the fact that being black = / = slave descendent. Also with mixed race people, it becomes complicated. Affirmitive action policies are also morally bankrupt as it is the definition of institutional racism.
Thomas Smith very good analysis.
Go Tulsi! Thank you Glen!
REPUBLICANS VOTE HER,SHES THE REAL DEAL!!!
That Ladies and Gentlemen, is a true Commander in Chief... calm, confident with a hint of steely determination underneath.
You are just so right - I will try to locate a video that I have from Congress of that steely determination
(she can be scary)
@Respect/Walk Major Tulsi Gabbard has, as opposed to you, on a daily basis seen on a very close range what guns do to people. I think her opinion has an upper hand on most people's opinon.
@Respect/Walk Is that supposed to be an argument against gun control?
@@HansLennros-ry5iz No, the best argument is that neither YOU nor the GOVERNMENT shall INFRINGE this human right, by command of the Bill of Rights and Constitution. Smartass.
@@partridgefamilybus2021 I am pretty sure you don't know what you are talking about.
Wow, real journalism! Greenwald did the best job I've seen of drilling down on some of Tulsi's more concerning issues. I'm a Tulsi supporter, but no one is perfect and all must be held to account. Great interview.
I agree with you totally 100%. But for one thing: Tulsie is perfect!
Wow she's... normal! A normal person! Donating now.
love your comment. Please spread the word to all who will listen.
You wasted your money. #BernieSanders is the only candidate that could win against Trump.
I don't see her as normal. A normal Dem is a corporatist, a warmonger & follows the party policy. She's a brave individual who displays a phenomenal amount of courage.
Great! And thank you very much on behalf of the civilised world! love from Norway!
Thanks Robert! That's exactly what i will do. Love from Norway!
Tulsi is such as badass 💪🥰
4:04 So pleasing to see Tulsi smiles out of her heart because it is the first time ever that she knows she will have a true interview from a genuine, professional and intelligent journalist.
One & Only #TULSI2020 Nuff Said!
Tulsi is amazing. And Glenn asked very pointed questions, which were great. Love the long format.
@@Chawaonga the majority of her ideas on terrorism (90%) I disagree with. I don't think there's a significant portion of the population in MENA who are diehard terrorists w/o cause. The 10% that I would agree with is that Wahhabism is the reactionary ideology that can be problematic and exploited by any number of bad actors (including the US), not Islam.
However, without US imperialist foreign policy, al-Qaeda and ISIS don't exist, from the proliferation of Salafi / Wahhabi schools, most indiscriminate terrorist acts, to a right-wing caliphate.
Since al-Qaeda etc. do exist, then an honest assessment of US foreign policy must be the objective, not a so-called "war on terror". Remove the root causes that give substance to right-wing propaganda (foreign military bases, the drone program), stop multi-billion dollar arms sales to the region, and cut funding / training to reactionary elements in pursuit of regime change. That's a start and it's all on the US.
Now that the reemergence of potential superpowers is again the supposed number one threat to the US, terrorism seems in decline. Strange coincidence, that.
What's your thoughts on her hawkish stance on terrorism?
@@pthomasgarcia I think she has it right. She openly admits that the two issues of US imperialism AND the Wahhabism ideology are the primary cause of terrorism.
She puts emphasis on the ideology itself but I think she needs to start saying that Wahhabism and ideologies such as it do not thrive in stable societies. And I think she does realize this, as her opposition to regime change wars would do just that - allow for stable societies to form and persist. I think her stance is ULTIMATELY people are doing terrible things because of this ideology.
I just think she needs to work on her messaging and reiterate that dangerous ideologies like Wahhabism dont take root unless the populace is under extreme duress of one kind or another.
@@jayv3380 but they're not doing it because of terrible ideology, that is a secondary cause. The first cause is the effect of US foreign policy that drives people to desperate measures.
But the main point is that being hawkish on terrorism as a foreign force does nothing but exacerbate the situation. Terrorism is tactic to be prevented and disincentivized, not fought on a battlefield.
Similarly, Americans aren't largely fascists, but the deterioration of material conditions have allowed fascism to come back into style. The same in Europe. The material precedes ideological.
@@pthomasgarcia my point is by stopping regime change, Tulsi effectively is a hawk on terrorism because she is addressing the root cause of it to begin with.
Russia bombed the shit out of ISIS and helped Syria kick them out (for the most part) and now people are returning there. That would be the kind of "hawkishness" against terrorism that I would support. That did not result in an increase in their ideology
She has called for us to stop interference across the board - for example, she recently said we need out of Afghanistan and AFAIK that isnt a regime change war. But she understands that US interference fosters the environment - if not openly like in the case of Idlib, then as a side effect like in Afghanistan - for shit ideologies. BUT at the end of the day the foot soldiers/individuals committing the atrocities are doing it BECAUSE of the ideology, not their hatred of the US.
For example, the hatred of the US isnt causing Wahhabists to murder other muslims that ALSO hate the US (like in Syria for example). That's the ideology doing that. I think this is why she is saying the primary cause of terrorism is THE IDEOLOGY, not US involvement.
But in this interview, she admits that US involvement (sometimes directly, other times indirectly) facilitates the growth of such ideologies, citing the Idlib case as an example for the direct assistance part.
I do agree she needs to work on her messaging and link the issues of regime change wars and terrorism together more though. I just think it's a bad criticism because by stopping regime change wars, she IS addressing the root issue. I think she just needs to clarify this point.
She would benefit from just flat out saying, "By stopping regime change wars, we can reduce the spread of Wahhabism and other extremist ideologies"
I think people are getting too hung up on the specific language and forgetting that by stopping regime change wars and US interference in other countries, she DOES directly address the issue of our actions facilitating the growth of extremist ideologies
P. Thomas Garcia She wants to change the policy. That’s where Greenwald dropped the ball. He should have asked how does she want to stop terrorism. He should have made the interview more conversational and less confrontational. It’s like he was trying to show off how much he knows, instead of trying to get her to open up. His long questions could have been broken up into smaller questions and he should have kept digging deeper, instead of stopping. I felt Tulsi would have quelled our doubts in this area, if he pushed her past giving her stock answers. He insulted her a bit like saying election reform was unimportant when she trying to reform it and it is important. If terrorism was a big issue he should have asked that in the beginning, instead of starting with the laundry list of everything she believes in that are good. Instead he ended things by saying her stance is paradoxical when his questioning was somewhat perplexing. Is he saying we should not stop terrorism or is he oppose to the methods we used, if so, he should have ask her how she wants to stop terrorism.
She is so good at repelling manipulation and word twisting. Someone like Trump would be scolding the interviewer and yelling by now. I like how she keeps a cool head.
Tulsi nails it on every topic! Great questions Glenn!
Really great interview, first one to really explore Tulsi's broad spectrum of progresive positions. Thanks, Glenn!
Except shes not progressive she supports Assad who's the opposite of progressive actually killing women and children is not progressive. Using chemical weapons is not progressive!!!!!!!!
@@mohammedalsmadi680 You're fulla SHIT...and you know it...
@@mohammedalsmadi680 that has been debunked already why are you still pushing it.
Tulsi has already addressed this multiple times, clearly explaining that what you allege is definitely not her position... you're either not doing your research or you're speaking from an agenda.
@@mohammedalsmadi680 listen to the interview, she does not support ASsad.
Excellent and very tough questions Glenn, as usual! I was reasonably happy with the way Tulsi handled herself as well. She's not perfect, of course, but she's my favorite in the race. This was one of the best interviews I've seen yet.
Kim Iversen did a good interview, too. ruclips.net/video/5ybH9p2uFiE/видео.html
I don't agree with some of the way Glenn said things, and comparisons he made. But I agree that this is what america needs more of, props to him for actually taking his job and responsibility seriously. We need more journalists who are actually thinking about things and talking about things that matter.
But she never talked about morals, values, respect, liberties and other empty platitudes...how will people ever decide?
@@mohmoony3918 lol. Kamala Harris she is not.
I've been impressed with Glen Greenwald's investigative journalism, but here I'm impressed with his interview skills. He asks very challenging and direct though complex questions - tough interview questions - but politely; putting Tulsi on the spot as a good journalist should.
Two of my favorite people having a meaningful conversation.
I love this video.
As a Canadian, I am so proud to support Tulsi, wish I could vote. Nonetheless, she is empowering, honest and empathetic, and an excellent candidate for the presidency of the US..I hope change comes soon from the tyranny that exists🙏👍
but who will you vote for in october? (2019 canadian election..
Please, shed some light on as to WHY the Americans are not looking more closely at Canada, and even copy some the Canadian system (which seems to be semi-European).?
Tulsi has my vote and Glenn Greenwald is by far the best journalist out there!
Well there are Max Blumenthal & Abby Martin don't forget about them :)
Sorry, the Jewish-run main stream media already decided it’s Bernie vs Biden at this point. Since you can’t see this obvious fact I feel sorry for you getting your hopes up the same way naive fools thought Kucinich had a chance
Imran Khan no she’s not, she just doesn’t want the US government to be arming Islamic terrorists.
No one likes Islamic extremism
@@ChawaongaThere's no evidence of her being islamophobic. The vox.com article you cite only points out donors, not her personal views. Just like Steve Bannon smear.
Bernie also supports drone strikes. She's not for banning refugees but making sure they're vetted properly as pretenders have been known to come through.
You're a logicphobe.
@@carminedauria-gupta2561 I don't understand why the US was helping arm terrorists; for what purpose ? Can you explain what she means by regime change war ? Is it something along the lines of establishing a new government in another country? If so, why would we want terrorists running the countries of Syria or Libya ?
Wow A professional interview.
No softball.
This gives me a nostalgia for the days when fake news was the exception rather than the rule in main stream media.
Great information from a reputable source. This is how vetting works and not free passes. MSM needs to get off their asses and report unbiased. Thank you Glenn and Tulsi.
What a breath of fresh air. And, she made it on her own--no man fronted for her. She has her priorities straight; she is smart and compassionate AND she served in the military. That she is young and attractive adds to the equation. If not in 2020, hopefully, soon afterwards.
@Swedish Meatball
Yeah just like russiagate its establishment smears to fuck with a candidate they dont like.
Very good interview.
Thanks to the intercept and Glenn!
Good interview focusing on important key issues. More progressive than Warren
Thanks for interviewing this lovely woman! She seems to be a ray of light in a very dark political theater! Bless her, she is running against the strong winds of war in our world! Wouldn't she be a great first female Prez of America!
You go Tulsi. Amazing to listen to someone with ethics without sound bites and dog whistles.
There are only two candidates asking for $30 or less; Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard. Unless you are a billionaire, this ought to be important to you.
Stephen Goodfellow Andrew Yang too
Andrew Yangs contributors are even cheaper than Bernie’s. Yang/Gabbard2020
If ever there was a political hot seat it's sitting in front of Glenn Greenwald and Tulsi came through it smooth as silk!
It's so awesome to see a real journalist and a politician that is for the people having a conversation. ❤️
YOW.Cable news,this is what an interview looks like
Great interview!
Asked many questions I wanted to hear answers to.
Gives a great sense of Tulsi and where she stands on many issues with emphasis on foreign policy that seems to be ignored everywhere else.
Thank you Glenn.
Excellent of all the States Hawaii is the one that knows what it's like to have the US come in and overthrow their government, Solidarity
Tulsi Gabbard is a very respectable member of the U.S. Representative. My best wishes for her on going campaign.
Glenn, thanks for giving Tulsi the opportunity to provide context behind her relationship with India and Modi. I'm glad there is someone at The Intercept that does real journalism instead of writing smear pieces like...
It's actually interesting looking at the comments here vs. the Twitter thread on this video in the context of Modi. Most of the comments here (and at the Intercept) are very positive for her, though I suspect people here are also critical of Modi and see her answer as a tad weak near the end of the interview. But you start reading Twitter there are quite a few people that did not respond well to her, with a significant portion of people critical of her for criticizing Modi, and "Not disputing" the persecution of Muslims (and Christians, but the anger is mostly about Muslims from what I can tell). It was curious seeing the very different responses.
Liked the interview as well, though it did clearly have some limits due to the time.
@@OnlineVideoSurfer Instead of relying upon bigoted and misinformed Western media houses for your info about India, try to talk to some Indians to know about Indian politics and Modi ruclips.net/video/G_52OGSD7Ws/видео.html
Omg it's such a lie in international media. Muslims n Christian's have never been persecuted by govt. Most of the mob riots are caused wen they start converting youth into ISIS and others.
@@rahulray9983 I don't think I said anything one way or the other about him. I was commenting on the differences on how he was perceived in different comment sections, and how different audiences are likely to respond to Gabbard's comments. Just in case you were suggesting otherwise. Though for what it's worth I do know quite a few people from India and have gotten varied opinions on Modi from them, some positive, some negative, and I've generally been a skeptic of his.
I'll check out the link during the weekend. Never watched the show, but the description sounds measured, and I do think it's important to make sure I'm not falling into my own echo chamber.
@@OnlineVideoSurfer Please go through the history of Indian politics, you will come to know Modi is the honest, innocent and clean hand politician. All the hatred and lies spread is from the opposition party which was ruling India from the past 65 years. It looted India and is the most corrupt party which also polarised the votes of Muslims. In India all are living peacefully but the opposition is targeting Modi to defame his image. They say Modi is Anti Muslims, but they don't have any proof to prove it.
I heard she’ll be back on Joe Rogan next week!
Monday, I heard.
That's great news.
😲😲😲
Can't wait.
Awesome!
Monday at 12PT
Excellent interview. Tulsi Gabbard you have my vote. Much Aloha to you 👍
Thank you Tulsi!! Thank you for answering your calling!! Your courage is inspirational!!! I'm with YOU!!!
Genn is the most credible spokesman for The Intercept and Tulsi is the most credible candidate.
Yeah, the guy who helped close the only repository of Snowden files is a "good guy". Total BS. HE decided along with his owner Omidyar that no one should have access to those documents anymore. This is after releasing them slowly page by page at a rate that would have taken 200yrs. Tell me again about how great he is. In the same month, the deep state managed to get Assange, arrest Manning and close off the Snowden files. That's a pretty coordinated effort that Greenwald was part of. He is billionaire Omidyar's sock puppet and that fucker is involved in all kinds of shit around the world like Soros, if there are coups or neocon wars, social unrest to foment, he is an extension of the ruling elites but tries to cultivate and image of caring billionaire.
That 200 million dollar he gave to create "independent" media 😂😂 really was a bargain to get all those NSA documents back.
Meanwhile, Snowden's still in hiding and his sacrifice was for nothing. Crucial information was stifled for political reasons and Greenwald IS responsible so f*"k him.
Of course you're absolutely correct. Reading your comments closely i'm positive you'll join me in supporting a potential Alex Jones 2020 presidential candidacy.
Mind you, as an indepenent. Because staying neutral means you don't have to show any political colour while also having the benefit of senselessly bashing everyone around you.
Most credible spokesman for the Intercept.
Curious what standard did you use to determine “most credible “?
Tulsi most credible candidate?
Definitely credible
I view Bernie Sanders record as demonstrating a tenure of credibility.
Bernie Sanders 2020 president
Tulsi Gabbard 2020 vice pres 👍🏽
I love Tulsi Gabbard. But how possibly could she be considered more 'credible' than Bernie Sanders? Bernie 2020. For every reason.
@@brianmurphy5313 She's been in war. She hasn't voted for wars/regime changes like Bernie has. Bernie supported Clinton's war on Serbia, voted for regime change in Iraq twice, voted for the AUMF (war on terror), supported Obama's Libya disaster, supports ruining Syria further, peddles Russiagate garbage, tacitly supports official line on Venezuela, Iran.
She knows Bernie's platform sounds nice but isn't likely to work without the funds that go to the war machine be diverted to his causes, which would pay for everything no problem without raising/changing taxes.
She also is quite up front about Assange where as Bernie still hasn't addressed his arrest.
Of course she's younger, hasn't had as long of a record and so on.
It's not about either/or, they can be on the same team, fill in each other's gaps. She was afterall the only politician to stick up for him in 2016 at the cost of her DNC position. In general, I think she seems a little more gutsy to get things done where Bernie seems to play it safe.
Best interview of Tulsi and best job by Tulsi with the answers! Love both of these people!
Tulsi is a Breath of FRESH AIR
If Ana Kasparian and TYT hate Gabbard, that's a positive endorsement.
They could have a working relation in their respective roles but Ana screwed it up.
Cenk seems to like her
Thanks Glenn for a substantive interview with Tulsi. It was refreshing watching an interview where she wasn't relentlessly attacked from beginning to end.
That was a great interview by Glenn Greenwald, he's one of my few top 3 journalist, which i've been following in recent month!
amazing. im so glad Glenn is interviewing a candidate. Good for Tulsi. Only Tulsi, Bernie and perhaps Liz would have the guts to be interviewed by GG.
We need to get Tulsi and Mike Gravel into the debates.
Please let that be my president. So principled. What an awesome person.
Glenn pressed her on modi and being a hawk on terrorism. I agree with her.
So amazing.
@@Chawaonga I think that US foreign policy is a huge driver in terrorism. We continue to go where we are not wanted. Whether to overthrow a regime so our multinational corporations can do business there or just to destabilize a country so us and our allies can continue to thrive.
Also, the military industrial complex is a real thing. Defense contractors and weapons manufacturers make lots money off of war and destruction.
We create terrorism in order to profit from our "fight on terror."
Bernie tulsi and maybe Warren or bust
"Al-Qaeda attacked us on 9/11. This is not a war that we chose". I wish that were true but when we occupy Muslim holy lands in the middle east, have military bases in Saudi Arabia, support Israel's tyranny in regards to Palestinians, and when Bill Clinton is bombing Iraq an average of 5 times per week during "peace time" I would say the US government chose that war as well. These things and more were listed by OBL for why 9/11 took place.
I've always admired both these people, but my #1 take away here is Glenn Greenwald is a master. He throws great softballs, but as he relaxes here he takes her into deeper and more treacherous territory.
He definitely doesn't let her off the hook and he asks the kinds of complex questions that most politicians could not answer very well in this setting. To Gabbard's credit, she kept up very well.
doctuhmazing he is a true political reporter. No opinion, only questions others want to hear asked. A balanced opportunity to let the politician showcase themselves both in humanity and under pressure. He let her take positions, and then made her defend them. He challenged her, and she was able to respond with nuance. Very clearly, she was wanting to know the context of that statement, as she may well have been brown nosing modi to get a desired diplomatic outcome. From that I learnt she is strong in diplomacy - she did not deny, nor prevaricate but rather affirmed a position. I admire that flexibility of mind and recognition of realpolitik. I hope for more Glenn greenwald interviews. She will wipe the floor with the other people in the debate, they will be left screaming at her, while she calmly and logically dismantles them. Their only defence is to shut her out, or drown her out. They are working on number one, expect number two tactic on the night. I really hope they get a moderator on the debate stage who has the balls to go off script and let her talk...
@@renegadefunkstar I agree with you except for your confidence about how she'll do in the debates.
In a fair debate, sure, she'd kick some ass because she is very natural, authoratative, and well spoken. But these presidential debates aren't fair and they are getting worse.
If there is any doubt, we can go back to the emails that leaked in 2016 showing how Donna Brazille gave HRC questions in advance, etc. But that's just the most overt thing.
Mostly what you have is stuff like the two (or three) favored candidates are placed in the middle of the pack against each other, and then the other candidates are basically a side show and don't get much opportunity to speak. This has especially been historically true for any candidate who is significantly anti-establishment, like a Dennis Kucinich or a Ron Paul.
Glenn! I am thrilled you have begun this venue! I trust your judgment and can't wait to see your future interviews. Thank you.
Excellent! Thank you Glenn for your service to the people! And tulsi is fantastic.
She is the good side of US Military. US military should be proud of her.
Om Karki there is no good side to the us military
Us military leadership, NATO, and Lockheed sees her as their enemy. And that's why we don't see the MSM that they own even mentioning her name. And they will use any means necessary to 'remove' her from the race, or from getting her platform in the publics eye.
Vicarious Windmill if you kick someone its not your leg fault its your fault. Leg is just a body part controlled and use by system. US Military is controlled by corrupt politician thats why you are blaming US Military for warcrime and climate change. If US Military is controlled by progressive politician they would do progressive work. If u blaming war crime done by people in power on entire institution then you should also blame those scientist for making bomb n bullets. There are bad people in every work. US Military as institution sure dont have policies that deny climate change and support war crime. There are corrupt people in every other sector.
@@omkarki1516 The US military is corrupt to the core.
@Vicarious Windmill and it is the people of the military who joined under good intentions that call it out the most with the most credibility that deserve respect. People like Smedley Butler, Bradley Manning, Tulsi Gabbard, etc. and I also speak from experience of being in the military made me see some of the culture in it that made me anti-war. So just because somebody is part of the military doesn't mean they're completely fucked in the head forever. Just the ones that join to kill and love to see more wars to do so are the ones you should focus your anger towards.
Greenwald clearly likes Tulsi, and yet he didn't hold back or pull any punches. Great job, Glenn. It is good to see Tulsi put through the rigors of an intense ideological discussion without the underlying contempt and hostility that has been thinly masked by the MSM when they speak to her. She looked a little scared at first to sit down with him. I think she wasn't sure whether he harbored any resentment toward her over her LBGQ comments long ago. I sense that he is still a little hurt. He may be a stronghold of journalistic integrity and media god, but he is still a human being with feelings.
Glen is tough as nails! He wouldn't pull punches for anyone especially if he likes you. Thats what makes him a great journalist.
@@davidmaisel8062 : Well said! That's why I trust him more than anyone else in the media.
@@davidmaisel8062 : I think I've only disagreed with Greenwald once, and I don't even remember what it was about. I did question the point of this investigation into Russiagate (I wouldn't say he championed it, but he did endorse it), and I hope we never get sucked into another such investigation without a clear crime and compelling evidence at the heart. But Greenwald talked about his defense of the launching of the Russiagate investigation (with Michael) and his belief that it was important to resolve the doubts surrounding Trump and Russia. But Michael points out it apparently resolved nothing and it's not going away. But as for Greenwald, I've never heard him say anything that didn't make perfect sense to me or anything that wasn't based on sound principles. What more could you ask? So much of the Left's rhetoric today is based on stuff that sounds high and mighty on face value but has no underlying principle. Like on immigration (it's an extremely complex issue and I personally could only judge it on a case by case basis--which apparently is what our law now requires), but according to the SJWs black and brown people (legal and otherwise) are welcome with open arms, but white people had no right whats-so-ever to step on to this continent. I have no general opinion on immigration, but I do know that view isn't based on sound principles that apply to everyone equally regardless of identity (which is what a principle actually is--a guiding rule applied as best one can to all people and situations without bias).
@@GlennGreenwald : Thanks, I agree with you as usual. I don't follow Joy Reid because I don't find value in what she has to say pretty much on every issue. I may be remembering wrong, but wasn't she the one who compared Bernie Sanders and his policies to a moocher roommate that takes advantage of a living situation? For me, her credibility was pretty gone after that. But as for Tulsi, you are a warm, kind person underneath your rational, tough journalistic calling, so what she said even long ago must have stung a little. I guess that's none of my business. Sorry. I'm glad to hear that you are passed it, if it ever bothered you at all. Makes me respect you even more. I personally try not to hold on to hurts from my past, it doesn't help and it's not healthy for anyone.
It's nice to see Greenwald bucking his own employer, the Intercept, the rest of which runs endless articles on Russiagate, ran several hatchet pieces against Tulsi before completely ignoring her, and is now printing a series of Elizabeth Warren press releases that pretend to be articles.
I’ve never heard of this guy Glenn, but he had facts, did not state his personal views and asked the hard questions. Not BS unrelated questions I’ve seen other people ask. Very much respect for this journalist. Need more like you
So turns out QUALITY Journalism isn't completely dead after all.
