Glenn Greenwald: Propaganda, Putin, AOC, and the New Movement Rising From the Ashes of MAGA (Tucker Carlson Video)

In this 14 August 2026 published video, host Tucker Carlson talks with Glenn Greenwald, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and host of System Update, discuss the shifting American political landscape. Why is Bari Weiss promoting Flock cameras? Greenwald on neocon support for totalitarianism.

The conversation covers anti-establishment media narratives, foreign policy propaganda regarding Russia and the Middle East, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s evolving cultural and political stances, and a growing populist movement reacting against perceived betrayals by both traditional parties and elements of the MAGA coalition.

Greenwald and Carlson criticized mainstream media and prominent independent outlets for promoting hawkish foreign policies and domestic surveillance tools, such as automated license plate-reading Flock cameras, comparing the “if you have nothing to hide” rationale to totalitarian groupthink. Greenwald expressed frustration that certain segments of the populist right have adopted recycled, cold-war-style rhetoric regarding Russia and foreign nations, warning against uncritical acceptance of state-driven narratives. Greenwald analyzed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent attempts to distance herself from past progressive and “woke” extremities, criticizing her approach as politically calculated and evasive rather than a genuine, accountable reckoning with past mob dynamics. The discussion highlighted a rising, disaffected populist sentiment. Disillusioned by compromises within conventional party politics and military escalations, this emerging faction seeks a distinct anti-interventionist, anti-surveillance alternative
