Despite being well accustomed to absorbing overwhelming negativity on the internet, I do have to report that the response to my guest-hosting tenure at “System Update” in Rio de Janeiro was shockingly positive.
I suspect Glenn's "trip" was a strategically planned effort to get you into a stylist's chair wearing a sport coat on a daily basis for consecutive days numbering greater than two.
I have subscribed since you first moved to substack, and even briefly on patreon before. I subscribe to your writing--you have a rare skill there, and your thoughts are always original--and not so much for your mug on TV (or whatever it is we call screens these days.) Specifically: I'll pay to read you, but I'll politely decline to help you buy a TV studio.
Thanks -- and you were OUTSTANDING... Courageous, thoughtful, funny, fast, very skilled...
We are dealing with a dangerous US bipartisan criminal War party i-- financed by same Big Business donors.
DNC is led by intelligence agencies and organized crime.
GOP is led by religious lunatics and evangelical Zionists – the reason why Trump will likely lose 2024 election.
The genocide in Gaza is a USA genocide (Israeli Nazis are “just” the executioners) – the whole horrified world knows it. And – that each and all paid and bought member of Congress/Senate has an AIPAC babysitter.
Whatever one thinks of Alex Jones – he has prophetic grasp and vision, a la William Blake – here is the latest: “Evangelical Zionists Pushing the World Into Armageddon -- For many American Christians, it will always be Israel First.”
You did a great job with System Update, & I do love your new look.
Your show doesn't have to be unscripted, ya know. My 2 favorite shows (System Update & Russell Brand's show) are both scripted, except for the host's reactions to interview responses. (I suspect that Russell does a lot more improvising than Glenn, but it all works.) You are a brilliant writer, so it's definitely something to think about.
I just subscribed to your Substack because of seeing you host Glenn's show. You were better than Glenn is and I appreciated getting a significant amount of news via System Update that was not all Gaza all the time. I have greatly reduced watching Glenn's show, partly because he cancels so often and the Locals add-on has very little value, if that also isn't cancelled. But also, his lack of objectivity also shows up more on video than in his his written journalism (I would support him as I had for years if he goes back to written word). I look forward to delving into your archived material, you are probably the last paid subscription for news I can afford for a while.
I for one found your interviews on System Update to be too aggressive and confrontational. I perceived you to be debating your subjects rather than interviewing them.

Don't tell anyone.

I tremendously enjoyed all your episodes !! As well as writings on Sub-stack, including:

PS: You and Glenn endlessly interrupted each other - in moderation that is nice but, in that case, it was almost unbearable ;-))

Roger on the non-debate interview format. I hate debates, even the very concept of it.

Your opening paragraph had me -- quite literally -- laughing out loud!
Brilliant!
I even read it out loud to a family member, who reacted the same way.
