The FULL Snowden Interview 

24 years is quite a hitch! Thank you.

Santa is a bad ass all year round.

Thank-you for your service.

Exactly! Briefings all the time reminding us we could not monitor US citizens. “Stay in your lane, Bro” is usually derogatory but it’s extremely important for the government. Because the government has so much power it MUST be constrained.

I did 4 in the marines and 19 in the Army. I know what you are saying but at the same time he took an oath and I can say that my team have done things that may be considered illegal by an average citizen but I took an oath and my word in my bond. If you get and unlawful order you report it via chain of command. You dont release classified info to the public.

Unless its whistle blower against Trump, and those claims were false. The swamp runs deep.

I don't disagree, however he's not just a whistleblower - he gave away national security secrets. As a security analyst myself - he could have culled the information he released a helluva lot better than he did. No problem - give away program names, general procedures, etc. - basically proof of what is happening. There was no reason to indicate the exact methodologies to our enemies. That's the problem he has. A Pardon won't even help him in some regards unfortunately. The President can pardon him of Federal offenses - he cannot protect him from civil offenses nor military tribunals.

@@MandrakeDCR hmmmm I guess you need to understand all the in's and outs of technology. I didn't understand the national security part. I do understand I'm tracked ....and listened to, and watched by my little cell phone. Always wondered if the phone in the microwave worked lol.

@@MandrakeDCR he wasn’t in the Military at that time! And if he hadn’t divulged what he did we might not have understood the depth of what a corrupt government we have. What was his civil offense? Even President Trump thought he could “drain the swamp” but a swamp has no beginning and it has not end it just goes on and on. Their are many who are nice and have moral fortitude, not many who have integrity that can’t be bought at some point in time. Not many men will sacrifice their own lives for the good of their countries. So their countries will know how much the Government lies. Lying to Congress is a criminal offense and yet those who we know are lying to Congress have to pay no consequences for their deeds or their lies but we do.😳 I can’t stand to hear the Elites say “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW”....that is a huge joke. THEY are all above the law and it sickens Americans like me who know what a farce that statement is every time we hear it.🙄

@@Robint4460 it works. I only do it once a year tho

I think he's actually better off in russia and that's the case for all of us. This country is kaput

@@zarni000here or Russia? There are better options 👍

@@duncansteedman9986 I mean if the choice is between the 2.

At least!

Unfortunately not happening :(

There would be no President Trump and Deep State exposure if an Edward Snowden didn't do what he did.

@Edgf Wfe their not holding him. Its the only country that wont get strong armed by the U.S. to hand him over

@Edgf Wfe well enemy is subjective. Are the people that punish whistle blowers enemy's to the people? Not saying one is over the other just sayin things are alot different today had he not done this. Definitely woke everyone up. Policies change. Maybe what I'm saying is Russia is a enemy you can see. I'm more concerned with the enemy that you cant see.

Well said!

State TV (Fox News at the moment until it changes) go out of their way to constantly get it into trumps heads to not pardon him. Every guest that talks about him calls him a traitor. Usually that speaker is connected To the govt. nobody outside the government would call him a traitor. That’s how we know we can’t trust the govt . The whole country agrees with Snowden and what he did was the right thing. How is it that it’s the govt vs civilians? They are supposed to represent us. And they aren’t. What happened was so insanely unconstitutional, that I find it hard to believe that calling him a traitor is enough to undermine his efforts to expose what happened.

And the earth is flat

If you have an issue do something more than talking about it anonymously or move to another country. You are free to do either.

AGREED.

Do they have a boss ?

Some did not take the oath of office. Why? No one forced them.

Snowden is a 21st century hero of the world

@@deecee2174 Exactly. His courage showed the world what these intelligence agencies are capable of and actually do.

NO HE'S NOT He is a TRAITOR............. ASSANGE is the HERO!

@@smoothuncut explain yourself

@@l3loodyfingers Every film coming out of Hollywood Has to pass through The CIA'S Liaison Office in Hollywood if it has ANYTHING to do about Americas SECURITY! Platoon, Saving Private Ryan or Snowden! They don't get to Use Military Equipment to make the Movie unless the script it is Passed by them! understand?

That is why Obama repeatedly called all dissenting messages "hate speech".

Amen

@@northbay4619 People forget the ACLU’s defense of hate speech and why they defended the KKK and Nazis. It should be required reading. What happened to those hate groups over the years after they were allowed to have their hateful rallies? They did not flourish and prosper. They nearly disappeared.

He's BOTH.. a whistle-blower AND a World class hero.

Yeah. It’s pretty crazy how Chinese the U.S. has become.

Exactly!

He stole classified info, and released it. He deserves prison.

Why he no go in back in the USA, why ? He is a puppet from the left gangster putin.

@Jackerson117 He is not in jail. During the Obama administration, they were trying to put him in prison, and he has escaped. He is currently living in Russia. US government should release him and let the people know what he discovered?

@@mdd1963 I used to think like you and now learned what Obama has done that caused such massive segregation in the US. I begin to see his concerns.

Agreed

Seriously! Any day now! It’s time to rattle the cages of the powers that be!

Have yet to see any jailed for violating their oath to the Constitution and we the people.

@@drew8642 And you never will

Comment on youtube If you want to change the world. Lol

Hard to arrest the “liars” who have the power

Yes

I can’t believe I missed it until now! True HERO!

Its because they are monitoring the views and the comments. Gathering info.

And the major media outlets could report on this more. Both major political parties are fine with him not receiving a pardon. This is a mess. Edward Snowden did the right thing.

Something that is needed considering our government is filled to the brim with corrupt psychopathic liars that all cover each other.

@@bea78tles There are corrupt members in the GOP as well, they are refereed to as Rinos. Mitt Romney is the most well known among them. Shit like this is what gives rise to the controlled opposition theory.

Snowden is a patriotic American. The only question remaining is he a Nationalist????

Ye and the US public really supported him didn't they , oh no they just went to mcdonalds got their burgers with fries and diet coke and that is it.

Exactly, look what they did to William Binney.

they accepted Epstein and not him... whats that tell ya lol

Look what they did to Phillip Haney, his Congressional testimony is on RU-vid, later he was Epsteined

Epstein was not a US government employee. He was an employee of a foreign intel agency.

@@AmericanNope "Epsteined", as in Epstein didn't kill himself.

Me too😂

Real

At least in Russia you’re probably not gonna get Maui’d

I like the weather there.

I respect your ability to adjust your beliefs, sir

@@virus2003 Thank you

I was caught in the same trap by the fake news. After seeing how they treated President Trump a light came on in my mind, maybe Snowden was a patriotic after all. I think the president should pardon him. But i'm afraid if he comes back to the country the deep state will kill him.

That's a testament to the naivete of most Americans, especially boy and girl soldiers

@@mark-wn5ek I completely disagree. Conviction to one's beliefs is universal to man. The ability to accommodate new truths is unique to introspective people with some intelligence. One's nationality has little impact beyond propaganda absorbed as a youth which ALL cultures are "guilty" of.

Jt

BS

Trump won’t do it. At the end of the day Trump is a coward.

@@jefferyepstein9210 I agree with you

@@johndennison9476 He signed the stimulus bill. Another example of him talking the talk but not walking the walk.

Or even worse being Clintoncided or Obamacided = suicide by 6 shots to the back of the head, a mugging gone wrong where nothing is stolen, or a hit and run by a driver never to be found.

Indeed they worry about themselves and their own...

@@seesea-sv3xw Exactly, these agencies are above the law and do as they please. Following any ethics or laws means nothing. No doubt all of congress doesn't dare take them on. They all know what happened to Senator Frank Church when he did in the mid 1970s. The 6 time Senator from Idaho lost his next election to a opponent well funded by shadow government allies and was dead of cancer a few years later.

@@seesea-sv3xw If you think that shit only happens on the Democrat side you're still asleep. United we stand, divided we fall.

@@seesea-sv3xw 6 “Warning Shots” to the back of the head😂😂

I can relate to that....

I can also relate to that.

@@phi.const.387 Yea well, that's the problem. The first person to tell the truth and do the right thing is the first person to be hated.

Hot

Good analogy.

He's brilliant 😂🙌🏽

He is a man of the people, he always will be. He has our hearts!

Pardon is better as it protects him from fascist Progressive scumbags in power, at least until America becomes a complete banana republic dictatorship.

A pardon is the only way, because new administrations could bring new charges.

Well,tech iCarly he is guilty if breaking a "law". An unconstitutional law but most laws are unconstitutional. If he is going to wait on the feds to drop the charges it will never happen. They want to bury people like him. Look what they did to Shaffer cox. 28 years in prison for doing nothing more than telling the truth. There are hundreds of these people in federal prisons today. Most in supermax prisons with no contact to the outside world. Pardoning him is it. That's the onky way he will ever be able to come home. But,it won't happen. He threw the DNC under the bus. The Clinton's, obamas. And because Trump is a socialist Democrat, he won't pardon Snowden. It just isn't going to happen. If it was going to it would have already happened.

In a crooked country, a pardon may be all one can hope for.

@@Englishkin I am speculating that before the end of this year Iran gets a lethal response from the U.S. military, and Snowden gets pardoned.

House him and the other whistleblowers in maralago or where Trump will live.

Whether or not he ever commits another act of heroism, he deserves at very least the right to a safe a peaceful life, and I think a Pulitzer Prize and medal of honor.

@Larisa Bors they'll "hit and run" him if he was ever pardoned and came back. It's about sending a message

Sadly, he may be safer in Russia than the USA.

Sure pardon Charles Manson too

Era giunto il momento di parlare

I just saw it today.

Which of his works is that from? I googled it and came up with nothing...

@@jimvick8397 I found the meme online, but I’m not sure. I once heard the quote on Yelp (reviewing a police department), but the person posting it didn’t say whom it was from, so I just typed out the whole quote on Google search and that name kept showing up.

It is so very apropos - literally!

Because the media protects the establishment and not the people. They pretend to care about the people but they hide so much

@@inmate0054 as long as there is at least a channel that tells people what they want to hear and keeps them distracted from the real problems (there aren't enough x race actors in this movie, that commercial has 2 white people but only 1 asian, this hate crime, that hate crime), the whole country could be in flames and people would be melting on their couches with the remote in the hand

Q: is there a sober and honest judge in United States?

What came first, this interview or the series designated survivor? It appears one is playing off the other!

if this government does not uphold and preserve the US constitution, then it is not legitimate.

Enemy of the government Friend of the citizens

Amen.. far as I am concerned Mr Snowden is Absolutely an American HERO and should be given a Job overseeing the new govt employees(since the one's responsible for this gross Violation of The Rights of The American People and Violations against OUR Country should be either in Guantanamo bay prison or hanged publicly) and ensure that govt is NOT doing these or any other crimes...

Even though he released proper info, like it or not, he took an oath and he broke that oath. If they pardon him then it opens a pandoras box.

US government will just create some bogus charge to arrest him. And then kill him in prison with the AG declaring it a suicide.

@@jefrey5578 Our government is using our future tax dollars (in the billions annually, plus interest) to spy on us (illegally), while lying about it under oath (obviously also illegal), without our permission (seems our government forgot who is supposed to serve who). You spam that same post not mentioning anything about government misdeeds while pointing the finger at Snowden for braking an oath. He sacrificed a high quality standard of living to expose the the multiple layers of waste, fraud, corruption, abuse and flat out lies perpetuated by our government which has likely cost our future generations hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars at this point. Who do you think is really the bigger offender here?

THIS MAN IS A HERO FOR EXPOSING THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS OF HIS GOVERNMENT, RISKING HIS PRIVACY, HIS FREEDOMS AND POSSIBLY HIS LIFE IN DOING SO. WITH WHAT HE NOW KNOWS MUCH OF THE RESULT OF HIS ACTIONS, WOULD HE DO IT AGAIN? "MUCH LOVE, RESPECT AND GOD BLESS. THE DEMON WE FACE IS NOT IMMORTAL."

THIS MAN

Or all so criminal. Do you want to break the law? Why not?

The government is supposed to serve us ...

This man Edward Snowden, leaked more classified information to foreign nations than any spy in human history. Which is why he is housed by Putin. Only morons think what he did was a hero. And the fact that the CIA has been monitoring americans was literally written into the Patriot Act. Only the fools who don't pay attention didn't see what was happening.

Edward*

How can this man be treated as a traitor really disappointed on how the us treated him

Well said.

But he paid the high price - and the price could be even higher if he won't escape. The government will do EVERYTHING to keep it's power, EVERYTHING.

Agree. He knew he was putting life on the line. Knew he would most likely end on the run. And still did it.

@@aaabbb-qv4ff this is the proof the government is not the whole problem. The government is bought.

The rules don't apply the same to those in authority. They should, but they never do.

Let make it happen to protect our heroic brother and the truth.

Yeah... I don’t think more protests are needed right now...

They should be PROETESTING for all the spying going on and naked pitchers of your pretty wife and daughter in their own home WHO cares USE ZOOM (CHINA) so they can ZOOM right in

You're "people". ACT!

we are the many!!!

💯

Watch RU-vid vid Mass Psychosis

Nobody seems to even know though. You, they all bounce around the truth and pass blame on everything else surrounding that one thing that makes all this nonsense possible. Everyone (including me) have ZERO choice but to comply or be shamed. This is the money god way, the oligarch way, the devils way. There is a clear root cause of these socio-economic issues but hardly anyone cares to know or knows and speaks out for fear of that shaming that the people were brainwashed into doing.

It takes a Revolution to change this to a right so be it. What has are government become?

That is life in the United States, lacking as it is, a privacy right.

Shakespearean tragedy.

How true .

Understatement of the century. Anyone here can tell you that we're in a horrible situation right now. Our individual freedoms are being tested to the limit while the state & federal governments are having the time of their lives. The pandemic has been the perfect cover for disingenuous activities.

There's a lot more than one something and it's getting worse not bettet

@J Venner leave Israel out of it. America bears the responsibility for what America does.

Yes and we have been in big trouble since the beginning of recorded history.

We can't give up!

Have you looked around ? We are not in trouble we are in deep turd all over the world. Lies and deceit has prevailed all around the world people's rights and freedoms are taken away in the guise of helping us and taking care of our health, hypocrisy is reaching new levels this people think they can get away with anything and frankly they do because we all became complacent and docile so probably for them we are not even human beings but just stock which they will use however they like. Planet lockdown is here and we accepted it without a fight because we are bunch of cowards who locked themselves up from a virus which we have 99.97% to survive if we are not in the vulnerable group, we don't think for ourselves we only listen what our idols say to us from the screens of the brainwashing machines and when people like Snowden and Assange expose the truth we just go to a factcheck site and read there whatever it is right or false, this is the culmination of social engineering a bunch of docile slaves.

@@OmguserrI disagree. Both you and I, two perfect strangers, know and care enough to have opinions and then express them openly. I've considered seriously that I may be naive but since I have looked around I still see people all over the (snow) globe, tee hee, that are really inspiring under horrendous conditions. All we can do is add our light to the sum of light and maybe just maybe all will see thru the guises as well. By the way--loving your user name!

@@emstacy5230 Ehe te nandayo !? I agree that even in abyss in complete darkness a lighted match will illuminate the way. But still one thing all of us haveto understand that we even by observing this world are shaping it, this is why each of us has to learn to take responsibility and not delegate it to others and hope that somehow magically it will work out because as we see if we leave it as it is and hope someone will fix it we get to the situation which we are in now where lies and deceit became norm, where a narrative of us being bad and having a parasitic nature is pushed upon us though most of us a good people and don't wish bad for anyone but because of 1% who are most probably real psychos and they want to have everything under their control loads of bad things happen, I will stop ranting and just say hopefully next week we will have major shifts and this brave people will get pardoned and get the praise they deserve. Have a nice day.

Hero no, brave yes. Good intentions definetly. My question is, how would you have done this differently, so have half the world wasn't against you?

@@keonily you'd bend the truth so that Big Tech wouldn't be considered guilty, but the government would be. Every media outlet would praise you. There'd be revolts and the president would be assassinated. The angry people will vote for whoever promises to be of the people, and chances are US will have its first dictatorship. Probably forever. I'd say he took 1 for the team. But hardly anyone knows about snowden. And probably less than 1% of them read the files he leaked.

@@BingChilingEnjoyer I wouldn't bend the truth, I would reveal it. My goal would have been deeper, revealing those responsible for it, and how to catch them. Not get caught up in what he is going through, wich is my issue.

Now! it is frightening to think of what has occurred in the country over the past 4 years with the corruption of elite/ people in power. These people are elective officials drunk on power and money.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this wasn't just a conspiracy against the American people. In fact this was a conspiracy against all people. Remember they hacked Angela Merkle's phone. Yep, I completely get that, she's obviously supporting terrorism. Without trying to be a smartarse, the whole pretext of mass surveillance is "We need to monitor everyone so we can can ascertain who is a threat" Then why are you spying on the leaders of an allied country? America is so paranoid since 9/11, that's gotta change. Cause to be honest if you don't then the people who crashed those planes on 9/11 have won. You think their plan was to crash four planes and kill 3000 people ? No, their plan was not to attack some buildings, ultimately their plan was to attack democracy and freedom. Starting to seem like a pretty successful plan America needs to reset, understand what happened, why it happened but never lose sight of the fact that you are supposed to be the leaders of the FREE world.

That's funny. You admire a guy who steals god knows what info from the US and runs to a key adversary Russia for asylum instead of remaining here to fight for what he believes in is right? Yeah, real hero there.

I marvel at a culture that ridicules people laboring to save it from bad actors...you know....whistle-blowers. I said this many years ago despite popular opinion against patriots like Snowden. Now, however, the opinions here that are criticizing our swamp gook dripping govt and acknowledging Snowden's monumental revealations AND sacrifice are encouraging. Maybe, if RFKJR gets in, Snowden can come home.

You guys kicked him out, you can't claim him anymore. This man Edward Snowden is a true humanity's patriot we should be looking up to.

@@Azrudi I don’t represent my government. Our news agencies are mouthpieces for the government, which is why we don’t respect our real journalists who aren’t afraid of challenging the establishment ie Seymour hersch, James O’Keefe, Julian Assange or the DC riot Squad and others who covered on the ground the 2020 riots.

The ghost of journalism's past

Sean Hannity could learn a thing or two.

I wasn’t sure about how this was gonna go at first, but was pleasantly surprised with the turn out so far

Stossel is actually a reporter not an activist or former operative like say Anderson Cooper.

@@maxwaters1461 Hannity is the worst. I'm a Tucker guy.

Its a matter of civil private rights without parties making billions off meta data.

Well said.

Indeed John Stossel is a national treasure lol He’s the real thing

When u realize the device they created-the smartphone-shamefully compresses all "essential" innovations into one, to funnel all profit and resource to big tech, you see w they're doing w citizens and the virus

Stossel personally doesn't care about being spied on by his government or big tech companies, which is a problem as Snowden has outlined.

Stossel didn't kill himself next month!

Fair trial = time served

Perjury is the least of clapper's sins

He would never get a fair trial,which is heartbreaking.

Snowden cannot get a fair trial.A pardon is the best treatment he can ever get.

Fair trial...in America? Justice is dead.

😅

That's because most "news" people are paid to bury the truth and promote the status quo. John Stossel is a moron in many ways, in my view, but maybe he's not bought and paid for like some, or at least not bought and paid for by the IC, anyway.

Well it's also bc Eddie snow here loves the sound of his own voice and turns simply explained things into diatribes of retardation. I disagree with some things he did and how he went about it but it was extremely necessary to kill tyranny wherever we meet it

That's because unlike most other media outlets John doesn't need to manipulate his interviews to fit his narrative. It's almost like when you're not lying you don't have anything to hide.

I mean Snowden speaking style is long winded. So I can understand the urge to interrupt.

John was starting out when I was a young adult , he has been a sterling reporter and man.

Exactly! Haha good point

You are a hero, for doing the right thing!!

yeah, very good interview

Wake up wigouts. It was NO surprise that the US (DEEP STATE) GOV was spying on their citizens. Its information warfare. You dont need a 'well spoken' nerd to tell you this fact. Snowden is a bad actor. Read the drops. Its obvious.

Heelys to escape my feelys absolutely agreed. snowden is just one of the latest and most publicized

well, thankfully he was smart enough to get away, and thus didn't sacrifice much, he lives a comfortable life in Russia, now imagine what would have happened to him if he were in Europe or any western country - instant deportation to USA, and at best life in prison.

@@Grafomanokrasto I would agree with you if he was an orphan.

The government writes the rules. That entity never abides by them!

He is telling the truth but the government will never admit to it he will probably never be allowed back into this country again this is very sad

A lie on both counts.

Is an honest embarrassment to a head of security as him.

Lie to congress and get high-level jobs on CNN and Amazon...well done!

Clapper and Brennan are two of the biggest rats of DC. They exude pure evil.
