Summary
Briahna speaks to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald about the good faith leftist (v.s bad faith liberal) critiques of the Twitter Files, censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Brock Bot army's media attacks on the left, the "free speech right" and its apparent indifference to speech restrictions that threaten trans people, and criticism Glenn has gotten that he doesn't push back enough against the right on platforms like the Tucker Carlson show. We also discuss recent events in Brazil, comparisons between Brazil's 1/9 and DC's 1/6, and more.
