| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody, super excited to be here this week, Crystal. It's a pleasure to be here with you yet again. |
| 0:14.0 | Thank you sir. |
| 0:15.0 | We're going to be talking to Glenn Greenwald, and I am really, really excited for this. He's such an interesting character to me. |
| 0:24.0 | He has quite a personal story. I mean, he was arguably involved in one of the biggest stories of the generation. |
| 0:33.0 | I would agree with that. |
| 0:34.0 | Yeah, the NSA story, Edward Snowden. I mean, that was everything. Imagine casually exposing the world's most powerful government and showing that, hey, they're spying on everybody collecting all your metadata. |
| 0:48.0 | It's illegal, it's unconstitutional, and I'm going to be the guy that's like, here it is. |
| 0:53.0 | Yeah. You become public enemy number one. |
| 0:55.0 | And they're lying to you and all of that. |
| 0:58.0 | That's right. So really interested in talking to him about that among other things. |
| 1:03.0 | The big news as of the recording of this, and it's the thing that I can't stop thinking about from being honest, is that Rush Limbaugh just passed away. |
| 1:12.0 | And I babbled on my channel about this in a quick little video. |
| 1:18.0 | But every time a very famous person or a very political person passes away, I do struggle with this question a little bit of like, what's appropriate, what's acceptable, what's the moral thing to do, what's ethical thing to do? |
| 1:32.0 | Because if it's a prominent lefty who dies, you do see a lot of people on the right that are like celebrating it, and they're happy about it. |
| 1:40.0 | But now, vice versa, you have Rush Limbaugh passes away, and I don't know about you, but my Twitter feed was full of some people who were flat out, jovial about it, and just happy. |
| 1:47.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:49.0 | My take is a little, I'll give you my take, then I want to hear what you think. |
| 1:53.0 | My take is a little bit messy. |
| 1:55.0 | I don't have a clean, hard, and fast rule that I use for it, but my general view is, if somebody commits incredibly heinous crimes, |
| 2:04.0 | if somebody's like a serial killer, rapist, or a war criminal, or a torture, or whatever, if something happens to those people, I kind of get the instinct where some people are like, fuck them, you know, like they're fine with it, right? |
| 2:16.0 | Right. I mean, the extreme example would be like Hitler. |
| 2:19.0 | Right. Exactly. Like, is anybody really going to begrudge you if you're like, I'm happy Hitler guy, how dare you say that? |
