journalist was part of the pulitzer prize winning team in two thousand and fourteen for his role in the revelation about us valence and contractor edward snowden he has a co funded- the intercept an investigative. news outlets and he's been living for several years in brazil he joins us from beyond the generic thank you very much for being with us to. win walls. did you with the ring well obviously you've kept a close eye on what's happening in the us you been a vocal critics of the left and the media is the 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. beyond but i want to ask you about something susan rice with president obama's national security adviser said. she suggested that russia will 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. some of the extras on both sides. or for this in subway shape or form. what's your reaction. yeah i mean i think it reflects a real sickness. in american political 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 instead of trying to examine what they did wrong what has gone wrong in their politics remember dononald trump one aftr barack obama governed the country for eight years so insteaead of asking. what is wrong with you let me out w wh ththe demococratic party theyy instead decidedd to o blame everything this foreign billing.

ask althe same unite decades blaming everyone of their problems throughout the war so even now when you see these protests emerging out systemic racism that has existed it added state sentence dang it never in. bility that maybe there's something in our states that's causing this app instead blame. russia is kerr conspiracy theory but it's one that has become very common in normalized in american discourse. do you accepted the notion that- russia- played a role in the twenty sixteen election as a claims several times and not only by the democrats by or by the intelligence committee do you think. this is a fantasy or a conspiracy theory you just described. well the united states a and russia and other great powers like china and iran andndany others interfere in the domestic politics of each other and have been doing that for decades so i don't

doubt that the russians might be some facebook ads or twitter. bots are even been wrist for the dissemination of emails- but compared to what the united states dot i'm going to do in terms of interfering in the affairs of other countries including russia you know the united states on the cover of time magazine celebrated in nineteen eighty six how it was the blast. thing so put delta the present is a mixed bag ten he would private it can bring us in an era of neo liberalism that will benefit you as business. in twenty ten twelve state department clinton helping. and i suppose. our task group. in the scheme of how united states and russia. interferes in a politics this is very trivial what is being alleged even if it'ss all true it's again jusus a an attempt to shift blame away. from any attempt to engage in self analysis and self criticism and painted on a foreign power

something that all failele governments failed ideologies love to do is to say hey it's not our fault. let's unite in opted in to do this an enemy over there. i want to get back to the car. approach would you say. donald trump. might be losing the election right now sali divisiveness- that he has used over and over again- might help him a pullout another upset in november. it's hard to say you know in in the nineteen sixties there's no question. that the riots and protest and socialal disorderr thahat came t 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. in the united states and that enabled the right wing candidate richard nixon. to win the presidency in nineteen sixty eighght on a platform of bringing in more thor terrain

is on the strengthening of the police. four years after a bad. inside the democrats one under lyndon johnson and so there is a fear that when their social unrest it can stream then a thor terry and he says.'m gogoing to play the military on toto this it's s i'm gonna crush the pro there is i mean to keep you safe. butut i really doubt that this could work this time because it is. so many. across the political spectrum have seen so many of these instances now because things are captured on video in a way that they weren't even ten years ago. of the police using. unrestrained violence against innocent people and particularly african americans that. the because of the protests are so is so jobst. and people see that the overwhelming majority of protesters and protest all righght back peacefuful. that io feel like the perception will be not for trump's base obviouslsly t that will l love s rhetoric butut for ourur independndence a and p people we

firmlyly in one c camp or the other. the trump is essentially making it worse and s so i think he's in very danangero polilitical- ground because of. ththe climate that has arisen in the e united states because of this you mentioned. the trump up. a mites the military out on the streets- feel 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 palombo situation- but what's your take on the trumps- threatening with the military bolsonaro and his supporters. also playing this car. well anynytime the governrnment deploys the mililiy ontoto its own streets against its own citizens it's a huge threreat to. individidual libery to democratic values and to having a republic that operates according to the rule of law that is not what our military

is for a 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 are threatening your country's. and hint. rt a grave threat to notions of core freedoms in core liberties. 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. said for years that he believed military dictatorship which ruled brazil all for twenty one years until nineteen eighty

five with a superior form of government to democracy. looking for an ex use any excuse. because congress has been i impeding his agenda the media has been very opposisitional to haven'tt d dit impose dictatorial order. and he was part of the military that ruled the country for twenty one years after they toppled d democracy.. and wantso bring thahat 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. foror those of us who lilive in countries where democracy and democratic institutions are much weaker but where we have presidents or political movements that are in power and not want to do the same thing. what i ha real is the threat of a kind of a stealth- going on in brazil as you mentioned we seen this videotape of bolsonaro at a cabinet meeting ding lashing out fifteen generals. kind of threaten or hit. that you know if things get out of control because of protests of his

handling of the covert nineteen crisis and other issues off option well they mighght take. matters into their own hanands. yeah i mean this. . it has also been favio who is who is a- better in the same that president r. o. wasas 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- gangs. and a lot of scenarios- motivation is to gain control of the i institutions of 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 load which obviously is very strong for anybody to protect and sons who have been caught red handnded- engaging in serious crimes. with this idedeogy t tht says that. d docracy archersrs n

cocounism that it is messy and disorderly that t theilitary is able to- brazil in a much more efficient and help y your way whwhich is what his ideologygy s been for thirty years. the angel specially bad. things like. you can find theheir home. people losing their jobs by the millions of global pandemic now ththey're starting to bebe. conflicts o on the streetsts between fascist g groups andnd i fascscist groups of the e kind t wawas. motivivated by the protes in the uniteted states that have spread elsewhere including tip to france i know. the situation is very very dangerous it's very very volatile is democracy in danger and result courts and congress. yeah absolutely it's in danger in brazil you know when you start when the when ththe question starts to be. is the military b both in our sisie or is the militaryy on the side of demococracy whichch is the question that everybybody's asking. it already means that.

hands of the military. to decide if thahat's something tht ththe worldd should really care aboutececause brazill is a very influential country with a lot of important assets including the amamazon. and to watch democracy disappeared result could be somethining that could have really serious repercussions foror the world's. leading green well thank you very much that's all we have time for. and thank you for watching this interview here on france
