Analyzing Geopolitical Strategies in the Middle East

Glenn Greenwald recently responded to an article by Chris Hedges titled “The Purge of the Deep State and the Road to Dictatorship” describing Donald Trump’s dismantling of longstanding government institutions as a portent of worse to come. Greenwald disagreed with Hedges’ assessment, crediting Trump with positive steps like defunding USAID and firing thousands of civilian employees at the Pentagon.

Hedges returns to The Jimmy Dore Show to address Greenwald’s response and explain what Glenn got wrong.

Plus segments on whether Trump and Elon Musk’s dramatic efforts to curb government spending will forestall economic collapse and the recent AI-generated “Gaza Riviera” video Trump posted to Truth Social.
