Democrats are pushing a new 'war on terror' on American citizens: Greenwald

>> Laura: TODAY HOUSE DEMOCRATS VOTED TO CRIMINALIZE THEIR POLITICAL OPPOSITION UNDER THE GUISE OF PREVENTING DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. IT WILL SET UP OFFICES TO VISITING DOMESTIC TERRORISTS AT THE DS AND THE DOJ. WHAT IS THE GOAL? MORE SURVEILLANCE AND TRACKING AMERICANS. THIS IS ALL POLITICAL. OUR NEXT GUEST ISSUED A WARNING ON TWITTER TODAY: THEY VOTED TO GIVE THE FBI AND DOJ MORE POWER TO FIGHT DOMESTIC TERRORISM. THE SQUAD COMES THROUGH AGAIN FOR THE U.S. SECURITY STATE. GLEN GREENWALD, WELCOME. ONE OF THE BILL'S SUPPORTERS SNYDER CLAIMS THAT THE LEGISLATION WAS ADJUSTED TO SAY NONE OF ITS AMENDMENTS UNDERMINE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? >> PRETTY MUCH EVERY BILL THAT HAS BEEN ENAC ACTED SINCE THE 9-11 ACT CONTAINS SIMILAR PROMISES. MANY RAN ROUGHSHOD OVER THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS -- MOST PEOPLE AGREE. THIS IS MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE UNLIKE THE FIRST WAR ON TERROR WHICH WAS DIRECTED OUT WARD. THIS IS INCREASINGLY A WAR ON TERROR ON DOMESTIC SOIL, ON AMERICAN CITIZENS. I HAVE BEEN ON YOUR SHOW MANY TIMES GOING BACK TO BEFORE BIDEN'S INAUGURATION WARNING THIS THE DEMOCRAT'S PLAN. BEFORE JANUARY 6TH BIDEN SAID A NEW WAR ON TERROR IS MY NUMBER 1 PRIORITY. THEY ARE EXPLOITING JANUARY 6TH AND NOW EXPLOITING THE BUFFALO SHOOTINGS TO GIVE AGENCIES MORE POWER TO CONTROL OUR FREE SPEECH. >> Laura: THERE ARE NO STANDARDS HERE. THESE ASSURANCES THAT FREE EXPRESSION, THEY WON'T BE TOUCHED HERE. THERE ARE NO CHECKS AND BALANCES. WHATEVER THEY CONSIDER TO BE HATE SPEECH, MAYBE YOU POST SOMETHING AGAINST LOCKDOWNS. THAT'S HATE SPEECH. MAYBE YOU CRITICIZE A NEW SPENDING BILL. THAT'S HATE SPEECH. THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT AS TO WHAT CONSTITUTES HATE SPEECH AND COULD LEAD TO DOMESTIC TERROR DOWN THE ROAD. >> THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROVERSY THAT JUST ERUPTED WHERE THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY ANNOUNCED THEY WERE CREATING A BOARD TO COMBAT DISINFORMATION. IN THEORY NOBODY IS AGAINST DISINFORMATION. THERE THEY PROMISED AND SAID THIS BOARD IS GOING TO PROTECT YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS SO YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRIED. THE DEMOCRATS THINK EVERY VIEW THAT SUBVERTS THEIR AGENDA IS DISINFORMATION. PRIOR TO THE ELECTION THEY CALLED THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION AND GOT IT CENSORED FROM THE INTERNET. WHEN YOU PUT THESE ELASTIC PHRASES AS THE CENTERPIECE FOR THE GOVERNMENT'S POWER. THAT'S WHAT WHEN CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS OCCUR. THEY ARE TRYING TO CONTROL DOMESTIC CRIMINAL ACTIVITY -->> Laura: ON THE ISSUE OF UKRAINE. YOU HAVE BEEN MONITORING THE BILLS. MITCH MCCONNELL WAS ON FOX DISCUSSING THIS. >> WHAT IT WILL COST REMAINS TO BE SEEN. THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE COST OF NOT ACTING. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY MORE. WAY MORE THAN 40 BILLION DOLLARS. >> Laura: I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. 40 BILLION DOLLARS AND KAMALA HARRIS IS NOT RULING OUT WE ARE SPENDING MORE. IT COULD BE HUNDREDS OF BILLION DOLLARS. >> IT IS GOING THERE. THAT 40 BILLION DOLLARS FIGURE THAT MITCH MCCONNELL CITE SIDE FALSE. THEY VOTED TO IT ADD 40 BILLION DOLLARS MORE. JUST 10 WEEKS INTO A WAR THEY SAY WILL LAST NOT MONTHS BUT YEARS. WE GOT DONE SPENDING 2 TRILLION DOLLARS FOR A 20 YEAR WAR IN AFGHANISTAN THAT ACHIEVED NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OUR SOLDIERS ONLY FOR THE TALIBAN TO WALTZ BACK IN. WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS NOT SPENDING BILLION DOLLARS TO HELP THE UKRAINE PEOPLE. THIS MONEY IS GOING TO LOCKHEED MARTIN AND THE CIA TO DO WHAT? NOBODY KNOWS. RAND PAUL WANTED TO SLOW DOWN THE BILL FOR OVERSIGHT. YOU HAVE HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY FLYING OUT THE DOOR. NOBODY CAN ARTICULATE A STRATEGY FOR WHEN WE ARE DOING AND BENEFITS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> Laura: LOST 80 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF EQUIPMENT IN AFGHANISTAN. TONIGHT MITCH McCONNELL WENT AFTER RAND PAUL. THEY WILL NEVER DEBATE. I WANT TO SEE RAND PAUL AND McCONNELL DEBATE. THEY ARE BOTH REALLY SMART. DEBATE THE NUMBERS AND THE ISSUES TO TOWN HALLS ACROSS KENTUCKY AND SEE WHICH PERSON COMES OUT ON TOP. WHO DO YOU THINK WOULD COME OUT ON TOP WITH THE PUBLIC? >> RAND PAUL HAS THE MUCH BETTER ARGUMENT. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT UKRAINE AND WE ALL FEEL SYMPATHY FOR THE UKRAINIANS. THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS WAR THE UNITED STATES HAS FOUGHT IF DECADES. OUR OPPONENT IS NOT IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN BUT A COUNTRY WITH THE LARGEST NUCLEAR STOCKPILE ON THE PLANET. WE ARE RISKING NUCLEAR ANNIHILA
