Stephanopoulos: wow Obama is in South Africa!
Byron Pitts: he visited Nelson Mandela's family
Stephanopoulos: ok forget that –
here's Julian Assange
Pierre Thomas: who is Julian Assange
– hacker, activist or dashing hero?
embassy avoiding rape charges
Stephanopoulos: welcome Julian
– where is Ed Snowden?
Assange: sorry that's top secret
information and I can't tell you
Stephanopoulos: LOL
Assange: Snowden can't get a fair trial
in Alexandria Virginia because the
entire jury pool works for the CIA
Stephanopoulos: OMG
Assange: he can't get justice
Stephanopoulos: wow
Assange: under the UN he can seek
asylum from the oppressive tyranny of Virginia
Stephanopoulos: right
Assange: everyone knows he only
acted with pure motives and Obama
does not have a mandate to conduct surveillance
Stephanopoulos: who would know
better what Obama has a mandate for
than an Australian hiding from Swedish
rape charges in the Bolivian embassy in London
Assange: none of our revelations
have caused anyone to be killed
Stephanopoulos: good to know –
do your lawyers represent Snowden
Assange: Joe Biden called the
Ecuadorian government – that is
unacceptable since asylum is a
fundamental human right
Stephanopoulos: Edward Snowden's
father is worried that you are
manipulating Edward
Assange: well you know Edward
started the ball rolling on this and
we are just trying to help him out
Stephanopoulos: Glenn Greenwald
says the secrets will come out no
matter what happens to Snowden
Assange: that's right – the U.S.
is only inviting a backlash by
taking his passport
Stephanopoulos: strong words
Assange: to take a poor young man's
passport is an absolute disgrace
Stephanopoulos: oh my
Assange: Ed Snowden is a hero
– Obama is just like Nixon
Stephanopoulos: thanks for coming Jules
Stephanopoulos: thanks for coming Jules
[ break ]
Stephanopoulos: should Snowden
return to America?
Radack: no – but let's look at mass
lawbreaking by the NSA
Stephanopoulos: Officials say all this
was all legal and approved by courts
Radack: but that's the FISA court
Stephanopoulos: which is a federal court
Radack: no it isn't
Stephanopoulos: yet it is
Radack: well maybe but it's still a
rubber stamp of secret interpretations of the law
Stephanopoulos: Julian do you still want
annihilation of the US regime?
Assange: I never said that
Stephanopoulos: that quote is from
an e-mail you sent printed in Time magazine
Assange: I can't believe they leaked my e-mails!
Stephanopoulos: it's an outrage
Assange: Bradley Manning is also a
wonderful young man being put through
a meat grinder by this evil administration
Stephanopoulos: I see
Assange: also Obama is a just an all-around fascist
Stephanopoulos: you are being harbored
by a government that goes after the press
Assange: Obama is collecting phone
call billing records – only Verizon is
allowed to engage in that kind
of mass surveillance!
Stephanopoulos: what about Ecuador's
record of going after journalists?
record of going after journalists?
Assange: Unlike Obama the government
of Ecuador doesn't jail journalists
or assassinate people
Stephanopoulos: thanks for coming Julian
Stephanopoulos: Congrats on your win on DOMA
Griffin: it's been a great week for equal rights
Stephanopoulos: so true
Griffin: but there are many states
without equal rights
Stephanopoulos: in court or
in the legislatures?
Griffin: both – everywhere!
Stephanopoulos: can you win
Griffin: yes – its inevitable
Stephanopoulos: what happens when
a legally married couple moves to Alabama?
Griffin: that's bad news whether you're gay or not
Stephanopoulos: good point
Griffin: as the President said
'a marriage is a marriage'
Stephanopoulos: can this country be half-gay?
Griffin: this history of America
is one of moving to more freedom
liberty and equality
Stephanopoulos: I suppose
Griffin: who is harmed by gay marriage? no one!
Stephanopoulos: thanks for coming
[break]
[break]
Stephanopoulos: who is harmed
by gay marriage?
Brian Brown: bigots who hate gay people!
Stephanopoulos: I see
Brown: what about all the voters
who hate gay people?
What about their civil rights?
Stephanopoulos: I dunno
Brown: this horrific precedent will
be used to take rights from black people
Stephanopoulos: Scalia says this
means gay rights everywhere
Brown: Kennedy's decision was a
total travesty – he made it seem like
being against gay marriage is somehow
being against gay people
Stephanopoulos: incredible
Brown: this is pure discrimination
against straight people who don't like gay people
Stephanopoulos: right
Brown: we will stand for the truth!
Stephanopoulos: thanks for coming everyone
