Summary
Journalist Glenn Greenwald discusses how Trump 2.0 is avoiding the infiltration that hampered his first term; the growing disdain toward the U.S. being tied at the hip with every decision Israel makes, including Netanyahu’s plan to fully occupy Gaza - a burden the American Taxpayer will carry. Greenwald says there is a full frontal assault on Free Speech in the name of protecting Israel, and Netanyahu’s true legacy will be dividing the American political Right and Left. Greenwald, an early voice exposing the Russia Hoax, says the CIA & FBI fed the media lies, but MSM was so frothing at the mouth for RussiaGate that it didn’t even question it. This endless propaganda demonizing Putin was the real prelude to U.S. support for the war in Ukraine, under the guise of a “defense of democracy”. Greenwald answers the question: Is Brazil a dictatorship?

| 0:00.0 | Now it's time for the Anchorman podcast with Matt Gates and Dan Ball. |
| 0:19.0 | Welcome back to another episode of our show Anchorman, and I am joined today by a real expert in what's going on around the world. |
| 0:27.4 | Glenn Greenwald is one of the original founders of The Intercept, and now is the host of System Update on Rumble. |
| 0:32.9 | Glenn, thank you so much for joining me. |
| 0:34.4 | I want to cover what's going on in a lot of different places. |
| 0:38.6 | But really, I wanted to begin with how you view just the Trump doctrine as we encounter |
| 0:44.7 | it in this second term, because it does feel like it has a different energy than we had |
| 0:51.1 | in Trump one with people like Mattis and Tillerson having a real large role in the shaping of that policy. |
| 1:00.0 | Now it seems very, you know, Howard Lutnik, Scott Bessent, Donald Trump, you know, it's economic engagement driven. |
| 1:08.8 | But how would you describe, I guess, that difference and then the Trump |
| 1:14.1 | foreign policy doctrine as we encounter it in 2025? |
| 1:19.1 | Yeah, there's no question that the Trump administration and its current iteration 2.0 is very |
| 1:25.3 | different in a lot of ways than the first iteration. I think |
| 1:28.8 | there are a lot of ways in which that's a good thing. I heard from the Trump campaign, people |
| 1:32.9 | close to the Trump's circle, all throughout 2024 and into the transition that they believe, |
| 1:38.0 | and I totally agree, that one of the big problems with the first administration was that so many |
| 1:42.5 | people had infiltrated it, had contaminated |
| 1:44.8 | it, who pretended to be on board with the America First ideology, but in fact were sworn enemies |
| 1:49.8 | to it and were really there to undermine and subvert everything he was doing. And I think they got |
| 1:54.8 | away with that because he was very new to Washington. He had never been an elected office before. |
