I literally can’t stand this IDF thug. Props to you for bringing out his innate stupidity. I am grateful that you can expose both his and Pier’s IQ’s. Ugh. The void is real

Kathryn Edley's avatar

Omg. I didn’t see he was preceded by Mike F’ing ( zombie) Pence. Ugh. I can’t burn enough sage to get through this

If I had to endure 20 minutes of it (it seemed like an hour), I think it's only fair that you have to endure 45 seconds of it.

Kathryn Edley's avatar

Well. There ya go. You’re a stalwart. I couldn’t bear it But thank you for your service.

Fran's avatar

He's not stupid, he's a murderous liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kathryn Edley's avatar

Fran. You’re right. He’s not totally stupid and he IS murderous. Just my opinion that you have to be pretty stupid to keep this charade up. I mean, Bill Gates is not technically stupid. But didn’t stop him from doing some pretty stupid shit.

We count on you, Glenn. You never let us down, Thank you for your tireless efforts on behalf of We the People in speaking the truth.

I am especially perturbed at all the rah rah Trump cultists all over social media attempting to justify this:

"But -- but Iran posed a threat to us."

How? Their missiles can't even reach America.

"They could hit our bases or our ALLIES."

Bingo.

If he announced tomorrow that the southern border is back open for crossings, those same cultists would twist themselves inside out to justify it as well. A lot of them live over at

Racket News.

I'm struck by your reference to RacketNews. What do you think has happened to Matt Taibbi?

Fran's avatar

They didn't.

Hi Bookwench. Yes it's like Don hasn't spent the last 10 years saying over and over he'd never invade anyone to facilitate regime change. If the GOP blows up in this Fall's elections it won't be because Mr. Trump delivered on promises. I'll give him credit for pretty much closing the border but most of the rest of the promises were just salesman blather.

Glenn - granted I am older than dirt, but i am sure there are others who love and listen to you who wish you would slow your speech just a bit - you arenow talking so fast that I am having trouble keeping up with you. Speaker fast is a habit of very young podcasters and while I wouldnt call you old, you aren'tTHAT young - please slow down so listening is a joy and not an impossibility.

Glenn Greenwald's avatar

Hi Dorothy - Thanks for the note. I totally understand. I am somewhat of a fast talker naturally but am able to slow it down when speaking publicly. The problem on these shows -- especially panels but really everything in the TV format -- is that you always have limited time and if you're not able to convey a lot of information quickly, then it won't be heard. But I understand fully if it's not your favorite way of consuming information: it's not my favorite way of conveying it! As I said, I really only said yes for the opportunity to interrogate that IDF Spokesman.

Fran's avatar

Not always, but often you speak faster then most, but it doesn't bother me. Those that feel they have an opposing perspective on a a given topic, and are on that show, often speak faster when presenting their perspective, since they are too often interrupted, and when they are, listeners are thrown off track, which I think is the intent of those that engage in the habit of interrupting others. They try to disempower what you saying. See it all the time there.

Otto's avatar

The big problem fpr me is there sre no subtitles, why not?

Fran's avatar

I think it has more to do with the time available, however he's a speedy talker.

BJ's avatar

Dorothy, I respect your point and agree however Glenn is a brilliant debater. His mind thinks faster than a speeding train. I only wish I could put my exact same sentiments into words the way he does.

That being said, his greatest asset is no one can ever excuse him of being rehearsed the way every single politician is, can you say Mike Pence. When judging someone’s intelligence by the way they speak there is no doubt Glenn is not top tier opposed to Forest Gump Trump who is clearly intellectually disabled.

My only complaint would be sticking to and driving the point home. Don’t relent when it comes to exposing Israel.

dorothy P slater's avatar

I hope you didnt interpret my comment as judging Glenn[s intelligence = m y point was exactly the opposite!!! I hang onto his every word - but being a bit intellectually disabled myself, , i end up hanging on to the previous paragraph when he is already three ahead of me. He is right of course about appearing on these shows. Alas, even this one turned into a shouting match .

BJ's avatar

Not at all as you see I agreed 👍

Coni's avatar

Good job on Piers, you had the least amount of time and managed to sum it up perfectly.

James Brown's avatar

You get a nice bite out of the situation around 6:10. Well done 👍

Glenn was amazing here, calm and cool and with the facts regarding what's he speaking about on point as ever. Anna as usual is a Sexy AF force of nature. I can see her heart start beating as she so passionately destroys these disgusting, lying Zionist Trolls (and a Witch).

mm3x's avatar

True, I just wish Ana was more calm and allow others to speak. Not only it makes the debate hard to follow but also gives rise to her opponents. They gladly use those opportunities to point how well behaved they are and look down on Ana for behavior. A pity to allow them mask their lousy characters and lack of arguments with a facade of some supposedly good manners.

BookWench's avatar

I am still absolutely mystified as to why Trump did this immediately following a very successful SOTU.

It's retarded.

Fran's avatar

People seem to be avoiding, or not discussing, the reality that Iran was on Israel's hit list for decades, and are not focused on the fact the US fought Israel's wars in the Middle East for almost 2 decades, destroying whole countries. We didn't get to Iran, and now we have, and Israel is pleased. Trump is a sell out like all the presidents that preceded him in this century. Israel through it's lobby has a tremendous grip on our political agenda which makes it possible for Netanyahu to prance around claiming he's the world's savior because Iran was the real threat to peace, and sooner or later they were going to drop a nuclear bomb on their heads, and spoken by a man who continues to implement a genocide in Gaza.

BJ's avatar

I, like so many others throughout the entire world cannot believe no one’s assassinated him. How is it humanly possible given the magnitude of death and destruction he has done to Israel no one in his security detail hasn’t killed him? He starts a war with Iran and then leaves to hide out in Germany? Given the population of middle easterners in Germany he may have been safer in Russia. The mere fact he left solidifies Irans capabilities.

You know I wondered that myself, and came up with, he must stay with his own kind, devout Zionists which is what I saw when he won in 2022 and spewed his ugly agenda in which he said the West Bank is ours. No doubt he has a lot of firearm protection 24/7. He was bragging today that he has saved the world from a nuclear war because Iran was sure to start one. He continuously repeats proven lies, like babies were burned and women raped, on Oct,7, all evidence to the contrary. He stopped a genocide, but didn't. If I were to diagnose him, I would say he's a pathological narcissist,, no empathy, no compassion for others, and extremely grandiose. Remember his outrage at Obama and he even felt he could hop a plan and confront him? His pathology is made worse by AIPAC, and getting rid of their influence will bring down Netanyahu.

Lawyers Guns & Money's avatar

He didn’t stop one, but he did START a genocide.

Fran's avatar

It's late, and I don't know what you mean, "He didn't stop one," but he certainly started a genocide and now an attack on Iran. Iran was always on Netanyahu's hit list, as were the other Middle Eastern countries we took out, and all for Israel's benefit. Who knows where this will all end. We are so accommodating, and are even willing to let our young men and women die in a war I can only describe as evil. Did you know that Teddy Roosevelt's grandson helped overthrow Mosaddegh in complicity with Great Britain? Hard to find a hero. Netanyahu is going about town telling everyone he made the world a safer place from a nuclear war, of course implemented by Iran. Well, as all good malignant narcissists he knows how to pat himself on the back even as they kill children and implement a genocide.

Glenn Greenwald is following Tucker Qatarlson.

BJ's avatar

Omg TC is paid opposition Glenn has practically sacrificed his life and certainly is no where near as wealthy as TC.

Moar fer Isrul!!!

Bonnie Blodgett's avatar

Brilliant, Glenn! Except for one thing: It IS about oil. Why is Israel located in Palestine and not, say, Nevada? The whole point was to have an excuse to "protect" our access to (control of) Mideast oil.

BJ's avatar

Actually Bonnie invading Iran is all about attempting to stop 🇨🇳 China.

Basil Rathbone's avatar

Whoever the Iranian woman is on the panel, she's the equivalent of Maria Machado in Venezuela. Rolling her eyes at Glenn and covering her mouth as if he's speaking blasphemy against her conviction that the US and Israel should absolutely destroy her own country to bring it "freedom and democracy."

Is she a Jewish Zionist Iranian, or what? The former IDF thug is right up front with his full-throated enthusiasm for genocide, just like Lindsey Graham and John Fetterman, who along with 80% of the US congress should be in maximum security prison for like, with Trump and all his regime.

Bill Owen's avatar

I have been reading Glenn since his blogspot days.

He's really matured since then.

Glenn was once famous for his snark and sarcasm.

Since then he become more, for want a better term, more statesmanlike.

I have not, I still resort to snark, anger and insult when confronted with monsters and idiots.

Good for him. I wish I had his restraint.

George's avatar

Thank you, Glenn, for the cogent presentation concisely exposing the innate belligerence of the US-Israel alliance.

mm3x's avatar

Anyone noticed how Goldie Ghamari acts like a schoolgirl rolling her eyes or theatrically covering her face whenever Ana Kasparian or Glenn talk? Even when they lay out simple facts like here: https://youtu.be/KyJudt9c8hc?t=3456

I guess Pierce invites her to have some "Iranian" guest on the show but it is ridiculous, she spent almost her whole life outside Iran, she loves the hated dictator shah Pahlavi, despises Mossadegh who was way more popular by Iranians then the shah, and she has the US and Israel flags in the backgound and is thanking the US for bombing "her" country. Bizzare.

Mike Pence is truly a robot stuck on repeat.

Avril Allen's avatar

Thank you Glenn. We need your analysis more than ever. The facts on the ground in the Middle East are going from bad to worse at a frighteningly rapid pace.
