Dear Mr Greenwald, Please accept my sincerest condolences on the untimely passing of your friends in Iran. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

I didn’t know journalism like this existed. Very nice.

It all makes sense. No sides taken.. just facts

Glenn’s passion for educating his audience on ways to view the world that avoid the pitfalls of logical fallacy, is unparalleled. He’s never there to make anyone feel or look stupid, rather, he’s absolutely obsessed with going over the argument ad nausea, until the whole class understands.

Delivery is monotonic. Nothing new or interesting.

“Israel/USA/Trump, bad Iran/Ayatollah, good” Now you know, waste 30 mins if u like.

Great show Glenn. BTW, Don’t listen to the clowns in corrupt media judging what adults do in their free time. Sad peeps fo sho.

I couldn’t care less about one’s private life as I hope others feel likewise. I’m certain they do. It’s funny, the very thing they thought would allow you to be singled out is the same thing that shows everyone to what level your messages obviously threaten the current power structure.

Disappointed that he allowed himself to end up in this situation. But understand he is being attacked because he speaks uncomfortable truths about major powers.

Long time listener but after seeing videos of you circulating on X in very compromising positions I just can’t listen any longer. You have two sons and you’re putting your weird kinks online for everyone to see? A very embarrassing and reprobate look for a journalist and father.

Thank you Mr. Greenwald. I appreciate the hard work that people like you Ron Paul, Judge Napolitano, and Dave Smith are doing.

I have found Glenn’s perspective to be very interesting. So much so that I subscribed to support him. However, recently the number and frequency of the advertisements on his podcast has increased beyond my tolerance to listen no matter how interesting.

Awesome analysis!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ DAMB GOOD DAMB! I needed to hear this today!!

Glenn Greenwald is an actual journalist. Someone who’s broke stories with global impact, exposing and holding accountable centers of power. He’s faced genuine political persecution because of this but sticks to his guns. He sticks to classic leftist politics like anti imperialism, freedom of speech as a first principle and intelligent debate to reveal truth behind media narratives. He often references Noam Chomsky to underscore this point more. While the above is true, he still does not squarely fit into the idealogical boundaries that divide today’s dominant party system. Strong civil libertarianism, and even when i disagree i can’t deny the tenability of his arguments and positions. Great journalist, great podcast, please subscribe

I can’t think of any other commentators who so consistently advocate the cause of free speech regardless of the political context. So many others selectively interpret and defend free speech when it suits them, but discard it in other contexts. Greenwald is the real deal

One of the last honest journalists out there. I love listening to him. You know he has his convictions and sticks to them. He reports honestly and actually speaks truth to power wether you agree with him or not. I respect this man and the job he’s doing. We need a lot more like him. I will continue to support you! Thanks for the honest good work.

Huge respect to Glenn for the comprehensive unbiased coverage of the world events! Happy to support your work!

Glenn please also give an honest assessment of Trump through his term. I can’t keep listening to this level of bias as it’s becoming overly apparent. How can Trump be an “anti war hero” while threatening war on Panama, annexing Canada and giving Israel the keys to have free rein?

This is one of Greenwald’s best analyses that shows the hypocrisy of the establishment.

Glenn Greenwald is the GOAT! I listen to his podcast every day.

Glenn Greenwald speaks truth to power with a rhetorical prowess that is unmatched. He is indefatigable in his efforts to dive deep into so many issues. He exposes the empty platitudes and lies of the legacy media, revealing them to be nothing more than mouth pieces of power. He arms his listeners with mountains of evidence making any argument with friends or colleagues almost unfair. Glenn is a gem. A rare combination of sterling principles, rhetorical brilliance and deep courage. I support Glenn with all my heart and am unbelievably grateful for his existence and his continued efforts to fight authoritarianism.

Glenn analyzes issues with such nuance that is second to none. I tell everyone I know about Glenn because I truly trust what he says. He will critique anyone. His deadpan humor makes me laugh every single episode! I appreciate the work he does in informing his audiences about the world around us.

This podcast offers an informed global perspective that is true journalism rather than biased opinion. We are so lucky to have this high quality journalism in a sea of murky opinion editorials dressed up as objective. Thank you GG!

Glenn is the most reliable journalist today. He is essential, needed and one of the only ones I trust. I like hearing his perspective even when I don’t agree. Keep going Glenn.

Glenn’s reporting is trustworthy. He is very knowledgeable and honest. I respect his opinion even though I don’t always agree with him. Glenn supports freedom of speech and he is great government watchdog.

with his viewpoints, his takes, although I respect his independence, his integrity when approaching news and politics. 3.5 stars

Grateful for journalists like Glenn and his colleagues in independent media! The only ones we can trust these days!

Please take a strong expectorant an hour before show. Or write your comments and have someone else who isn’t snotty to read it.

So refreshing to hear from an award-winning journalist about topics that we need to hear and are hungry for. Bravo Glenn.

Love Glenn, a man of immense integrity, even though we disagree on Israel Gaza. I cannot, will not, listen to this arrogant hack Michael Tracey ever, muted him on X. Hope Glenn gets someone like Lee fang, Emily jashinsky, Kim iversen, or Matt taibbi to fill in next time, NOT liar gray please. One can dream, right? And p.s. Nathan Robinson is a hypocrite who will vote Dem for more genocide, as would Chomsky (if he’s able to vote) who was screeching VBNMW the past four yrs. Wouldn’t it be a strange irony if, after chomsky’s wanting to imprison the unvaxxed/vax hesitant, lockdown & smother the world, & mask toddlers, his stroke was caused by the Covid booster? Sadly, he became strangely authoritarian the past few yrs, which often happens to those who fear death. Time to interview Chris Hedges, Glenn .

Thank you for your service Glenn

Many thanks to Glenn for being a refreshingly honest journalist in contrast to this world of lies and propaganda

As an independent I appreciate hearing both sides of the issues but just can’t handle being talked down to so arrogantly for such long periods of time. I wish I could get the content without the condescension. Also crediting Obama for covering up the origins of Covid was a bridge too far and exposed his own biases.

Glenn loves to play this antiestablishment role while supporting the new incoming establishment of Peter Theil and the pay pal mafia. He’s a full blown loyalist to rumble witch is funded by Theil. He likes to think that if trump wins he will get closer to trump and his sons. Don’t let Glenn fool you.

thanks, Marco

I’ve been following Greenwald since Edward Snowden became a whistleblower. He tells it plainly, while standing up to powerful forces who generally hate his guts. Greenwald reports from a principled and ethical perspective, and does the job that we should expect from all good journos, but unfortunately it’s so goddamn rare.

Glenn refuses to look away from uncomfortable facts that most journalists ignore when it comes to the party they represent. A true independent despite great and growing threats

Glenn doesn’t always get it right, but there is no doubt he’s transparent about his values, methods, and biases towards issues. Most importantly, he is fearless in his reporting about very scary topics. Love you, Glenn and team. You guys are heros!

Always good to hear true independent journalism. Glen is a giant among his peers and never fails to provide solid arguments on the importance of protecting free speech.

Thanks for your work, Glenn. Much appreciated.

Excellent, comprehensive analysis of current and foreign affairs. I learn a lot listening to it. He also gives very good legal analyses.

Thank you Glen ! We need more Of this content and I deeply appreciate your objective work.

Glen is sincere, honest, humble and extremely sharp. He can be counted on to give a straight up take on modern world politics he is consistent, insightful and full of the real journalistic integrity that is completely absent in the majority of the media landscape. His reporting is not partisan, and his work truly defends the best ideas of what America strives to be.

I’m not a religious man, but if there is a god then he certainly put Glenn Greenwald here at this precise time and place as countervailing force against the corrupt and greedy sickness engendered by the world’s ruling elite. He is one of the most consistent, principled, well-respected journalists of our time, and in this world of dubious information, Glenn is a touchstone to the fabled “golden age”, when Americans could trust their favorite anchor. I also love Michael Tracey. It’s funny to read the reviews on here from people who don’t feel the same way haha. I see how he might be an acquired taste for some, but man…. That guy is a true journalist as well. Knowledgeable, tenacious, and fearless in his interviews, he gets more out of politicians than would seem possible to do. I consider System Update to be the cornerstone of my well-balanced news diet, and I can’t recommend it enough to people of all nationalities and political persuasions. The news is supposed to be the foundation of a well-informed populace, and it’s supposed to expose the doings of the powerful for the benefit of the powerless. That’s exactly what this show does.

For the love of god, please find another substitute host. 🙏 Briahna Joy Grey was great! Glenn Greenwald is truly a national treasure. His integrity and commitment to fair journalism is unfortunately rare in today’s media landscape. Grateful for voices like his that bring sober scrutiny to the US’s maddening political spectacles.

One of my favorite shows. I love hearing Glenn’s viewpoint even when we differ in opinion.

Glen is foremost supporter of free speech. Impeccable documentation, researched as no other journalist; the highest regard, the best resource, the highest accolades. Has anyone noticed the new Biden Chief of Staff? When asking who is making decisions…we might try to learn who is Chief of Staff.

Glen, I love your show, and listen daily while I’m at work. I listen to you because you’re honest, you tell it like it is. Any other day you would get five stars, but not today. You obviously don’t support DJT, as I do, but you make it a point to expose the lies that the MSM tell about him on a daily basis. So why?? Why would you go away on vacation, and leave the show in the hands of someone who does exactly what you despise?? Michael Tracy is a hater. He is telling lies and half truths, and in your name. He’s hurting your brand.

What is Michael Tracey on and why is he filling in for Glenn? What a clown.
