welcome to the friends twenty four interview our guest today is glenn greenwald is an american lawyer turned journalist was part of the pulitzer prize winning team in two thousand and fourteen. for his role in the revelations about us surveillance and contract or edward snowden he has a co founded the intercept an investigative. news outlets and he's been living for several years in brazil he joins us from rio de janeiro thank youu very much for being with us today mr greenwald. good to be with you. mr green well obviously you've kept a close eye on what's happening in the u. s. you've been a vocal critics of the left and the media is a so called obsession with russia let's read ties to. president trump i want to begin with the killing of george floyd in minnesota it has a lease and with a wave of

protests across the u. s. and even- beat. but i went out ababout something susan rice wih president obama's national security adviser. said she suggested that russia was tearing up the protest and that based on her experience i'm putting her now this is right out of the russian play book. i would not be surprised to learn that they have fermented some of the extremists on both sides. or that it funded this in some way shape or form. what's your reaction. yeah i mean i think it reflects a real sickness. in americann pololitil culture and in american political discourse particularly among the democrats ever since twenty sixteen when they lost an election that they obviously never should have lost to somebody who was a game show host and the joker clown. insteaead off trying to examine what they did wrong what has gone wrorong in their politics

remember donald trump one after barack obama governed the country for eight years so instead of asking what is gone wrong with the liberal ideology with the democratic party they instead decided to blame everything.. on thiss bill and ask how the same one that the united states spent decades blaming for everyone of their problems to throughout the war and so even now when you see these protests emerging out of systemic racism is existed in united states since its founding in is never been. short democrats excuse rice and many others can't accept responsibility maybe there's a problem i did state because usa i would stand by. right across the conspiracy but it's one that has very common in normalized in american discourse do you accepted the notion that- russia- played a role in the twenty sixteen election as a been so top not only remember bar or by the

intetelligence bureau dodo you ththink. this is the order heres as you just put. w well the stae russia and other great powers china and on and many of. interfrfere in the domestic. of each other. and have been do that for jack. so i don't doubt that the that the russians might be some facebook ads or twitter bot sir even been responsible for the dissemination of emamails- but- compared to what the united states. i'm going to do in terms of interfering in the affairs of other countries including russia you know the united states the cover. back celebrate. any specs how it was you up consultants who. pours in the presidency. cation the privatize every and bring ushering an era of neo liberalism that would benefit you as business or even in twenty ten and twenty twelve in the state department under hillary clinton was helping to fund and- support. instead putin prorotest groups. in the scheme of how the united states and russia. interferes in

another politics this is very trivial what is being alleged even if it's all true it's again just an attempt to. blame play. from any of them to engage in soften. is credited. and painted on a foreign power something that all failed governmentnts and failed ideologies love to do is to say hey it's not our fault let's unite. in opposition to. foreign enemy there. i want to get back to the current protest would you say donald trump might be losing the election right or actually the nicest s. he is. ovover again and might help him. hello another upset in no. it's a h hard to say k kw in in the ninineteen sixties there's n no queuestion that the riots and protest and social disorder that camame a aut because of the civil rights movement in the reaction to it the vietnam war the assassination of martin luther king. created a perception

among a lot of americans that there was insufficient law and order i in the united states and that e ebled the right wing candidate richard nixon to win the presidency in nineteen sixty eight on a pot of bringing in more thor tarian exams. the police for after eighty massive landslide the democrats wanted under lyndon johnson and so there is a fear that when their social wrapped it instead ended uproar your knees as i'm gonna play the- into this it's's a- watch the masters i'm gonna keep y you sa. but i really doubt that this work this. time bebecause- the cost is packed i've seen so many of the ins now because they are capped on video in a way that they weren't you ten year ago. of the police using unrestrained violence against innocent people and particularly african americans that. the because of the protests are so is so joss. and

people see that the overwhelming majority of protesters and protestss are attacked peaceful. that do you feel like the production will be not for trump's obviously that w will love his rhetoric fr our independence and people who are firmly in one camp or the other. the trump is e essentialy makingng it. soo i he's a depressed politicical. ground because of. the climate that has arisen in the united states because of this right you mentioned- trump. seeing he might send- the military out on the streets- kill the- this is a thing that we're seeing- in other places including- where you are- in brazil where president- bolsonaro clearly- there is only a certain extent to which you can power both situation- but what's your take on the- trumps- threatening with the military bolsonaro and his supporters. so playing this card. well anytime the

government deploys the military onto its own streets against its own citizens it's a huge threatat to. individual libertyy to democratic values and to having a republic that operates according to the rule of law that is not what our military is flori military is not for. shooting at- and using force against one's own citizens on one's own territory it's used to fight against foreign powers were running your country so any even hint. at the- but as our the third you. or freedoms in coral so for trump to do that is something that's extremely alarming not just because of the potential that it has to bring in a kind of authoritarianism or even tierney to the ununited statetes into its largest cities b b also because of its ability to. give a signal to other leaders around the world that also want to do that is you mentioned even before well before this

happened jair bolsonaro was elected- as president of brazil the world's fifth largest country in late twenty eighteen is somebody who has a long. sad for years that he believed terry dictatorship would rule brazil all for twenty one years until nineteen eighty five with the superior form of government to democracy and he's looking for an excuse any excususe. okay congressss been n impeding his agenda the mededia has been very oppositional to haven't digest impose dictatoririal order. and he was part of the military ththat ruled the country for twenty one y years after t they toppledd demococracy. andnd wano bring g that about and see seeig the president of the most important or most powerful rich is the most powerful country in the world. send the military on to the streets is very alarming. for those of us who live in countries where democracy and democratic institutions are much weaker but where we have presidents or political m movements that are n popower andnd not want to do the same thingng. well how you'll is the threat of a cop but

stealth- going on in. as you mentioned we in this videotape of bolsonaro at a minute missed being lashing out we've seen generals kind of threaten britain's. you know if things get out of control because of protests o of his handling of te copa ninety prices and other issues of corruption w wl they mitt takee their. daughters into theirir o h hands. yeahah i meanan all the beganan bause presidenent also s so. fly vioso is who w was elected as a senatr in the same election that president wilson ro. was elected to the presidency is in matching an extremely serious corruption scandal. and the federal police have been investigating it very aggressively the family has links to malicious that ruled brazil with violence- to paramilitary gangs. and a lot of ball scenarios- motivation is to gain control of the institution so that they're no longer independent but are under his control including the police and the courts and the media. in order to protect his

own family from being held accountable for serious criminality. and so when you combine that motive which obviously is very strong for anybody to protect your own sons. who have been caught red handnded- e engaging in serious crimes with this ideologyy that says that. dememocracy ushers in communism it iss messy order. the mimilitary is able to rule. on a much more efefficient and help your way which is what his ideology has been for thirty years. thehe danger especially when you add it to it things like everybody being confined to their homes people losing ththeir jobs by y the millionsnf global pandemic. out there arted to o . c conflicts on the streets between fascist groups and anti fascicist groups ofof e kind thahat was. created by that testing out stay. of. it is. very the it's very very is the- in danger result works and-

yeah absolutely it's in danger in b brazil you know when you start when the when the question startrts to b be. is te military are both in our side or is the military on the side of democraracy w which is th quesestion thatt everybody's's asking. it t alreadyy means that democracy is so o threatenened t is e essentially in the hands of the military. to dedede if that's something that the world should really care about because brazil is a very influential country with a lot of important assets including the amazon. and to watch democracy disappeared result could be something that could have really serious repepercussions f for the world. leading green well thank you very much that's all we have time for and thank you for watching this interview here on france twenty four
