I get a deep sense of sadness listening to Chomsky because when he's gone we'll lose perhaps the greatest voice of reason left. Chris, you're very close but you will have to pick up heavy shoes. It won't be easy. We have so few truly honest and wise voices left. It's very lonely in a sea of corruption. 😪

Disagree While Chomsky did achieve a lot in his political activism and through his writing, he still at times serves the establishment he claims to be fighting against. Chomsky "even if it's true (911 was an inside job) who cares? It's just a distraction" His take on the climate is a joke, he has literally bought into the corporate sector propoganda on this issue. Electric cars are utter green wash, the pollution involved in producing them and their batteries is FAR worse then normal cars- ofcourse the pollution is all somewhere else, in the mines and the factories, and all the batteries can't be recycled so get landfilled, 80% of all environmental destruction and pollution is coming from corporate business practice and production methods, has nothing to do with CO2 production, the corporate sector has basically found a way by paying climate scientists to produce reports and models, to shift the conversation into a complete fantasy. They are now trading CO2 certificates and carry on ruining the planet while claiming they are actually doing something. That Chomsky has bought into this joke just shows where he really sits. The only answer to protect the environment is to force a change in production methods, but the corporate sector isn't interested in paying the actual costs of the damage they do, they prefer you don't shower so much and blame mankind itself, even if every single human being changes their behaviour, it only impact 20% of the problem. Cut all the CO2 you like isn't going to stop spieces extinction when corporations are destroying their habitats by chopping down forests, polluting rivers and strip mining mountains. "It's ok we ruined the environment but we paid a CO2 certificate"
@@jollyyeholiver1578 First off.... Chomsky position on 911 was that there are many many provable crimes of the US government, therefore instead of focusing on those that can't be proven it is better to focus on what can be proven. He actually said - it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, what matters most is that the US has used it to justify wars, and he referred to the fact that THIS was the more honourable focus. He neither officially denounced the theory or supported it really. EDIT - a man in Chomsky's position is well aware that his political positions will be attacked from all angles, taking a position of supporting an unproven event puts his credibility on the line. He just told people he would not discuss it in public debates, his personal feelings on the matter and it's credibility may in fact be different in private. Second the electric car thing you mentioned - you are scientifically inaccurate on that and your statement shows no proof for your claims only opinion - you are entitled to that. But electric cars do not produce more co2 than normal cars. However, from a scientific point of view current diesel cars are fully capable of running green fuel and being modified and in that case it can offer benefits. Third, I don't think environment credits was actioned or supported by noam chomsky therefore it cannot be a criticism of him and if it is by explanation then part 2 is so much at fault that part 3 has reduced meaning. And "Many manufacturers are researching how EV batteries can be repurposed once they've hit retirement age. One idea that's proving to work well is repurposing EV batteries to power homes and buildings. However, there are no definitive answers as to what will happen to EV batteries once they’re no longer recyclable. The time that batteries spend in an EV is often just the beginning of their useful life. Once removed from a car, most batteries will still be fit for other demanding jobs like energy storage in the electricity network, or in the home - a growing area of demand." - source EDF energy. But if you want to carry on believing right wing propaganda and refuse to research and investigate such things then you will never know the truth and complications of such things. Carbon credits are BS, no doubt, and it's idea under any name. If you followed environmentalists of the intelligent kind and not dim wit journalist kind you will quickly find out most groups and individuals who are part of these intelligent groups have been protesting against this for years. Check out juice media from australia as just one example.
@@ghostlyphantasm2352 ok first that is a direct quote I saw Chomsky make. Second I never mentioned CO2 with regards to electric cars, I was referencing, that the production methods, and mining that goes into creating them causes more environmental damage. And third Chomsky has completely bought into the nonsense of climate change, as have you. CO2 levels do not lead to increased temperatures, it's reverse, increased temperatures cause more CO2 to be released. The data suggesting otherwise is manipulated. CO2 is not the issue, it's corporate production methods that are the problem, and the corporate sector knowing environmental groups were gaining power, have used their money to invest in bad science, and have effectively managed to take over organisations like green peace, it's all green wash today. 97% of scientists agree with their funders, best results money can buy. The Tabbaco companies did exactly the same thing with smoking they paid doctors and scientists to do bad research as a means to muddy the waters and spread confusion. Science is a joke today it's almost completely suffering from Corporate capture.
I'm old enough to remember when you could tune in to PBS and see Chomsky, Louis Farakan, Malcom X, James Baldwin and many others with dissenting opinions. Not anymore. Thank you Chris Hedges for keeping hope alive.
Don't we see that this is the most frightening interview/discussion these two greatest of our public intellectuals have done? Instead of praising their cerebral bandwidth in our comments, shouldn't we remember to actively do something about their warnings...?
@@carycunningham9510 Alright then. Go smaller. Anybody (including me) who puts themself in a position to judge society for not being feisty enough had better not be timid themselves. We can start with that and build on our own track record.
Noam Chomsky is one of the few with both the vision and the courage to speak out. He's not doing it for himself; he's doing it for everyone who will be here when he's gone. Why don't we elect such people to office?

After the fawning introduction, I expected 15 minutes of Chomsky and16 minutes of a sort of competing Chris Hedges curriculum vitae. I was surprised that the latter was almost absent. Great interview.
You are obviously new to Chris hedges interviews - he prepares an introduction then two or three well researched questions for his half hour shows. The questions are just prompts to invite the guest to speak. Expecting ‘A competing CV’ shows you are projecting your own ego nature and arrogance onto him. Grow up.
id be happy to die of old age, i very much doubt it will be a option for my generation though, our species is coming to a end, what if any of us that survive the experience wont be homosapiens anymore the disasters of last year will pale into this years as will next years pale into the year after's death tolls so on and so forth the fascists got the workers to build a gas chamber so large it has no walls (global warming) the permafrost started irreversible melt at 400ppm, theirs 1600ppm equivalent of CO2/CH4 in perma frost more than 50% will be melted by 520ppm....(releasing 800ppm in process) so unless we can trap 800ppm co2 in the next few decades we cant stop venus effect & we will be looking at a 2000ppm world, the only debatable factor really is how fast ice melts/how fast we hit that point the reason we had to stay below 400ppm that everyone conveniently forgot when we blew through it was all the feedback loops that kicked in after 400ppm mean that if we couldnt keep it below 400ppm we definitely couldnt reverse the runaway climate change that comes in a 400ppm+ world even if you removed all human industry from planet tomorrow wed still hit 2000ppm CO2 over the next century now we have set off loops so talk of carbon neutrality is pointless unless we can start taking 10 or 20 or 30 ppm co2 out of atmosphere every year we cant even keep up with the loops we have already set off
Prof. Noam Chomsky utters wisdom in a simple way. He used to talk to the intellectual class in his talks. At 90 or over 90 year-old, he is much better than before in terms of delivering the message. Cheers,
While I quite admire Professor Chomsky for pointing me in the correct direction reflecting my lifelong belief in true egalitarianism & direct + economic democracy. That said, you can't separate the Republican party from the Democrats as some sort of abhorration or unique danger. The unique danger is the American Bourgeoisie, & their ubiquitous funding of both "wings" of capital. Even those not directly influenced by Bourgeois $, bow to the dictates of party leadership who is. While I agree the hate being pumped into the societal zeitgeist is extremely dangerous, the core issue remains Bourgeois control of means of production, the state, ect. Trying to fight these individual issues while leaving the root cause in place is like trying to clean up an oil spill without plugging the leak first; which means we'll continue to spin our wheels, slowly moving backwards, until the problem overwhelms even the strongest Proletarian movement.
Chomsky's job, as a limited hangout sheepdog, is to make you feel good about your differences with the people who rule primarily over lefties, and keep them divided from people who have the same interests.
@Pat M i use the princeton study example all the time when talking to people stuck inside the mainstream. That's a good one to get people to start questioning things. Another is the widespread support of that german party from ww2 - thats what sent me down the rabbit hole. The JFK stuff is fascinating to look into and so is that one event from about 21 years ago. Both pretty well rebuke the "American Democracy Myth".
I've been waging my own war against the corporate cockroaches for over 30 yrs. but nowadays, people can't put down their "Smart phones," to read or write or support one another.
How hard it must be as a wise, old man to see this apparently, inexorably drift into the abyss yet, at least as a necessity for public health, hold onto optimism …
Does Noam think that perhaps both parties could be fascist? He seems to think there's a difference between the 2 parties ? Noam should maybe wake up to the fact that the Democratic party of his day is nothing like what it is today.
He can't tho. He can't "wake up to the fact" of anything at this point. He's 94. I understand that he sounds very coherent for someone so old but the ravages of time spare no one. His brain, anyone's brain, is not going to be same anymore at 94. Just as his face could not be expected to have stayed the same from his youth. In other words it is physically impossible that Noam is still the once brilliant man he once was because of the known science of what happens to the brain in the aging process especially at ages approaching a century. Unfortunately Noam appears to have experienced a lesser state of brain decay so far. In that he sounds coherent enough so that all of his many, many sycophants will still hang on his every word as if the Oracle of Delphi has spoken. And I say unfortunately because you are right. You're 100% right about the mistake Noam is making. That mistake is likely something we will have to clean up for many years to come amongst his adoring fans who have very little critical thinking skills but great parroting skills.
Thank you for your Excellent presentation 👍 Vivà le Prof Noam Chomsky 👍💯💖👍 Vivà le Chris Hedges 💯👍💯👍 Stay blessed Sirs Fan from Pakistan 🇵🇰 Former Pakistan Air Force 🇵🇰 Veteran
The only human I truly, deeply trust and respect in this planet. A life honorably lived - what a legend of a human. I find some of the things Chomsky says contrary to my strong beliefs about certain issues. But, I know he is honest and more likely to be correct than wrong- therefore, I should check and question my assumptions. I wish there were more of those people around…so I could learn and improve.
Professor Noam Chomsky is a national treasure; he has been one of the few sources of information for Americans for the past several decades that we can rely on for the truth. He is one of the foremost intellectuals in the US that can restore some sense of balance with the propaganda served to us on cable news daily. Thank you for having him on your program.
Everyone here seems to like Noam but I don't know about a person who decided that force the vote on Medicare for All was a lose for Democrats and liberals. Dude literally is considered this huge liberal but said no to a vote on Medicare for all during the pandemic. Can't let that go.
Fitting that NPR has permabanned Noam from their consideration. It was when I started listening to his college talks that I began seeing their political broadcasts as, to put it in his words, 'serving power'.
Good to see UA-cam lifted their ban on you. Idk how you managed when you speak and report on the truth, but I'm glad just the same. I just purchased your book, "The Greatest Evil is War" but am impatiently still slogging through RFK's book "The Real Anthony Fauci." I put the latter off for so long, that many of the "revelations" aren't very secret anymore. But, I bought it, so I feel obligated to read it cover to cover. Your books, "America: The Farewell Tour," and "Days of Destruction. Days of Revolt" inspired original songs I posted on my music channel. I have no doubt this new one will be sung about in days to come! Thank you for your inspiration!
Never forget his position and remind yourself of what actually came out of his mouth on state sanctioned enforcement of a still in trial medical procedure and the conspiracy of silence regarding injury and excess mortality world wide. Sickening.
Most likely that storyline has little weight. When vaccinating for a novel disease, it’s understandable that the drug had less testing than what we would normally expect. Excess mortality is due to Covid
Everyone who wants to leave Russia should have to answer questions about Putin’s war with Ukraine on video. Only if they get the questions right should they be allowed to leave Russia. The videos should be posted online.
That’s very sensible but many of those viewing this want to see Russia as the victim and Ukraine as the ‘Nazi’. Hedges did an interview in April saying that while he opposed the war he could ‘understand’ Russia’s (Putin’s) reasoning. In this instance Hedges reveals himself as a fraud. Ofc after years of taking money from the Kremlin and never offering a serious critique of Russia we already knew that.
Listening to Chomsky and Chris....reminds me of "Horton Hears a Who" . In that these two voices are barely audible in this world, yet they are the most compelling. My thoughts align with them, as a mote of dust
Peoples selfishness depresses me but i know they are compelled by their natural instinct to be competitive thus they cannot help themselves. But they are still either selfish or uneducated as they should know better, i'm trying not to be too hypocritical here but i am living modestly at the moment. We need to regulate two instincts. That of being territorial and that of being competitive. Neither should harm either the environment nor each other and that is where they should be capped, on a global scale ! What a catch 22!
We are at least as cooperative by nature. I think propaganda has led people to value ego and a false sense of superiority (through competition or otherwise). But we could just as easily raise people to help others instead of be selfish. All hunter gatherer societies compel cooperation and sharing. Because they need it to survive. And i believe humans have some egalitarian tendencies, as other primates do. But in capitalism, to survive you have to compete with others for a job. And whoever is most loyal, exploitable, and/or useful in furthering their owners' capital wins, so ofc ppl will be competitive in that environment
Being competitive is not natural instinct, maybe for those of predator prey evolutionary potential. It is natural for mammals to foster and raise families and communities in order to survive and thrive.
Agree. In a drive to insanely compete, people forget to cooperate in parallel. Common sense is above education. The balance of competition and cooperation is a sensitive balance of self and other. Cars movie explains the concept.
Chomsky "remembers 1930s"! In 1939, he was only 10 yrs old when he wrote an article for a school newspaper. It was after the victory of Spanish dictator Franco. It was about the seemingly "inexorable rise" of the "fascist plague" in Europe.
The irony of Victor Orban is when Richard Spencer went to have a little speech in Hungary, Orban had him arrested on entry. Neither Orban nor the GOP s/b taken seriously.
That's part of his shtick, it's how he brainwashes the that percentage of the people you can fool all off the time in to thinking "he's a national treasure" when in fact he's a big fraud with the right backers.
@@mayamichelle6741 there is always the speed adjustment, top right cnr of the picture. It’s a bit painful, they could have edited it, a little faster, (it’s like a Conversation with Kissinger, if he were on something?.). We respect our elders.
I don't think it matters who the president is ultimately. They really only serve the illusion that there is a two party system, when there is really only one. And that one party is the unelected, forever serving bureaucracy that operates the system. Whose ultimate goal is global hegemony at the behest of the multinational corporations it makes policy and law for. I do think Jeffery Sachs is an extremely well thought out man, who understands clearly our foreign policy positions. Especially in regards to Russia. I love listening to his assessments.
Want to see how he would rule? Look at what he did with his capitalist neoliberal policies in Russia. Caused mass, mass suffering. Search up his history.
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Ahh yes, the honorable Mr. Chomsky. 🙄 The guy that wants people who refuse to bow to the state and pharmaceutical companies to figure out how to find their own food. Truly a despicable human being.
One of the best things Chomsky has taught me is to use the current system, whether you like it or not, to advance your goals. Overthrowing systems is not easy, violence has to be used, it fails many times, and you get a lot of negative publicity. With the current political climate in the US , leftist forces must join the political arena with Democrats if we even have a chance of making the Democrats move even more towards our position. Current example. Cornel West's campaign, as it is now, I support. But when the rubber meets the road (General Election) I have no choice but to go for the Democrats. I believe it would be a bad idea if he were to stay in the race until the end.
"Corporation", "Cooperative" One of them is the cause of our problems. The other is not popular and even feared and hated with xenophobia but seems to work and protects against fascism.
So much of this rings true . To hear this interview makes me feel better that other folk actually understand the attack (class war ) against all working class people
I will never think of Chomsky the same after finding out he had financial connections with Jeffery Epstein. Really raises some questions about what Noam is into...
The present time is extremely frightening!!!!!! I try to fight for democracy, for liberté égalité fraternité, what Benjamin Franklin said and gave to the French Republic. I fear for the future and our children.
You're not much of a fighter if you "fear". If I would fear I would fear for the wealthy. Eventually the worthy rich will have to be sifted from the idle rich.
All of the productivity gains since the 70's have gone to the already most wealthy. This is because the economy runs the government, not the other way around.
The popular vote already supports minority rule and a false compromise between what usually becomes two wings of the same corporate interests. Add to that like for example US involvement in the world and the US props up disproportionate power in places like Ukraine. After the occupation of the square in Kiev the US could have backed the pro democracy groups in Ukraine, but it's easier to just prop up the NeoNazis in Ukraine and far right nationalists who are a minority of the population. This causes war and conflict too which the MIC makes money from. And then also this whole Ukraine thing is a way by which the US can wage an economic war against Europe.
24:30 Sea level, Eastern Mediterranean: Interesting climate fact -the level of water in that part of the Med is six feet lower than it's gravitational potential due to evaporation. Without the water flowing in from the Atlantic the Med would be a few large dead-sea like lakes within a desert more inhospitable than any that exist today except Antarctica and Greenland. Also, that part of the world is one of the most tectonically active regions on the planet. Tsunamis are not uncommon. Events like the Boxing Day and Japan tsunamis have happened there in the past. Maybe a mega tsunami is just what that region needs.
As soon as tipping points are hit, we will race even faster because what the hell. I can already see Shell ads saying, were all gonna die so enjoy whats left.
Thank you sir been a avid viewer since your time on RT, thank you for the knowldge on world leaders like victor orban that you have to know your world politicians.
Unfortunately mr Chomsky has decided to do the bidding of the establishment. Listen to this person talking about fascism when he is on record talking about starving people if they choose not to get a vaccine, a product which has been proven to have not been what it was supposed to be. I used to respect him and appreciated his work on exposing Manufacturing Consent but then does the very same thing. Is sad.
The right would agree. Most of the center right or left independents also. Hard core liberals, - some. But the Woke will follow the Narrative to their grave like a cult like religion
Compare the Covid deaths in China to those in the US. Unbelievable difference but it takes radical policy. Americans are too rugged individualism minded, while other cultures are more community and common good focused
If the vaccines worked, then the unvacc were no threat. He had the opportunity to keep human freedoms as a priority, but folded with the propaganda, media and gov fear mongering and he did not understand the science or listen to the many alt voices who did. Chomsky failed to practice what he preaches.

@@jollyyeholiver1578 First off....
Chomsky position on 911 was that there are many many provable crimes of the US government, therefore instead of focusing on those that can't be proven it is better to focus on what can be proven. He actually said - it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, what matters most is that the US has used it to justify wars, and he referred to the fact that THIS was the more honourable focus. He neither officially denounced the theory or supported it really. EDIT - a man in Chomsky's position is well aware that his political positions will be attacked from all angles, taking a position of supporting an unproven event puts his credibility on the line. He just told people he would not discuss it in public debates, his personal feelings on the matter and it's credibility may in fact be different in private.
Second the electric car thing you mentioned - you are scientifically inaccurate on that and your statement shows no proof for your claims only opinion - you are entitled to that. But electric cars do not produce more co2 than normal cars. However, from a scientific point of view current diesel cars are fully capable of running green fuel and being modified and in that case it can offer benefits.
Third, I don't think environment credits was actioned or supported by noam chomsky therefore it cannot be a criticism of him and if it is by explanation then part 2 is so much at fault that part 3 has reduced meaning.
And "Many manufacturers are researching how EV batteries can be repurposed once they've hit retirement age. One idea that's proving to work well is repurposing EV batteries to power homes and buildings. However, there are no definitive answers as to what will happen to EV batteries once they’re no longer recyclable.
The time that batteries spend in an EV is often just the beginning of their useful life. Once removed from a car, most batteries will still be fit for other demanding jobs like energy storage in the electricity network, or in the home - a growing area of demand." - source EDF energy.
But if you want to carry on believing right wing propaganda and refuse to research and investigate such things then you will never know the truth and complications of such things.
Carbon credits are BS, no doubt, and it's idea under any name. If you followed environmentalists of the intelligent kind and not dim wit journalist kind you will quickly find out most groups and individuals who are part of these intelligent groups have been protesting against this for years. Check out juice media from australia as just one example.
@@ghostlyphantasm2352 ok first that is a direct quote I saw Chomsky make.
Second I never mentioned CO2 with regards to electric cars, I was referencing, that the production methods, and mining that goes into creating them causes more environmental damage.
And third Chomsky has completely bought into the nonsense of climate change, as have you. CO2 levels do not lead to increased temperatures, it's reverse, increased temperatures cause more CO2 to be released. The data suggesting otherwise is manipulated.
CO2 is not the issue, it's corporate production methods that are the problem, and the corporate sector knowing environmental groups were gaining power, have used their money to invest in bad science, and have effectively managed to take over organisations like green peace, it's all green wash today.
97% of scientists agree with their funders, best results money can buy. The Tabbaco companies did exactly the same thing with smoking they paid doctors and scientists to do bad research as a means to muddy the waters and spread confusion.
Science is a joke today it's almost completely suffering from Corporate capture.
I'm old enough to remember when you could tune in to PBS and see Chomsky, Louis Farakan, Malcom X, James Baldwin and many others with dissenting opinions. Not anymore. Thank you Chris Hedges for keeping hope alive.

Always a discussion of ideas, history, science, wars, divisons, the meaning and arguments. THANK YOU CHRIS, and Professor Chomsky.

Chomsky and Hedges 💯💪👍❤️😁
After the fawning introduction, I expected 15 minutes of Chomsky and16 minutes of a sort of competing Chris Hedges curriculum vitae. I was surprised that the latter was almost absent. Great interview.
You are obviously new to Chris hedges interviews - he prepares an introduction then two or three well researched questions for his half hour shows. The questions are just prompts to invite the guest to speak. Expecting ‘A competing CV’ shows you are projecting your own ego nature and arrogance onto him. Grow up.
Chomsky continues to inform and astonish! He is a titan who insists that each person can engage systems meaningfully.
Chomsky still has his fast ball. It's going to hit me pretty hard when he goes. What about y'all ?
@JR Shield; I agree and hope and pray that he goes on well past the ton, and with as sharp a mind as he has always had. 🤲🏼🙏🏽
id be happy to die of old age, i very much doubt it will be a option for my generation though, our species is coming to a end, what if any of us that survive the experience wont be homosapiens anymore the disasters of last year will pale into this years as will next years pale into the year after's death tolls so on and so forth
the fascists got the workers to build a gas chamber so large it has no walls (global warming)
the permafrost started irreversible melt at 400ppm, theirs 1600ppm equivalent of CO2/CH4 in perma frost more than 50% will be melted by 520ppm....(releasing 800ppm in process) so unless we can trap 800ppm co2 in the next few decades we cant stop venus effect & we will be looking at a 2000ppm world, the only debatable factor really is how fast ice melts/how fast we hit that point
the reason we had to stay below 400ppm that everyone conveniently forgot when we blew through it was all the feedback loops that kicked in after 400ppm mean that if we couldnt keep it below 400ppm we definitely couldnt reverse the runaway climate change that comes in a 400ppm+ world
even if you removed all human industry from planet tomorrow wed still hit 2000ppm CO2 over the next century now we have set off loops so talk of carbon neutrality is pointless unless we can start taking 10 or 20 or 30 ppm co2 out of atmosphere every year we cant even keep up with the loops we have already set off
no, he completely missed covID-1984
Chomsky is a bad joke, an actor. Only people who are soft in the head fall for his BS mixed in with blatantly obvious virtue signaling.
@@audiogrouch1 yep, he sided with the fascist narrative on Covid-19 vaccine mandate.
Prof. Noam Chomsky utters wisdom in a simple way. He used to talk to the intellectual class in his talks.
At 90 or over 90 year-old, he is much better than before in terms of delivering the message.
Cheers,
While I quite admire Professor Chomsky for pointing me in the correct direction reflecting my lifelong belief in true egalitarianism & direct + economic democracy. That said, you can't separate the Republican party from the Democrats as some sort of abhorration or unique danger.
The unique danger is the American Bourgeoisie, & their ubiquitous funding of both "wings" of capital. Even those not directly influenced by Bourgeois $, bow to the dictates of party leadership who is. While I agree the hate being pumped into the societal zeitgeist is extremely dangerous, the core issue remains Bourgeois control of means of production, the state, ect.
Trying to fight these individual issues while leaving the root cause in place is like trying to clean up an oil spill without plugging the leak first; which means we'll continue to spin our wheels, slowly moving backwards, until the problem overwhelms even the strongest Proletarian movement.
Chomsky's job, as a limited hangout sheepdog, is to make you feel good about your differences with the people who rule primarily over lefties, and keep them divided from people who have the same interests.
@@OrwellsHousecat I agree 100%. I have nothing to add to that bc it encapsulates my perspective perfectly. Thsnk your for that
@Pat M i use the princeton study example all the time when talking to people stuck inside the mainstream. That's a good one to get people to start questioning things. Another is the widespread support of that german party from ww2 - thats what sent me down the rabbit hole. The JFK stuff is fascinating to look into and so is that one event from about 21 years ago. Both pretty well rebuke the "American Democracy Myth".

How hard it must be as a wise, old man to see this apparently, inexorably drift into the abyss yet, at least as a necessity for public health, hold onto optimism …
Chomsky has one of the most intelligent brains of this century
He’s definitely unique - alas.
Does Noam think that perhaps both parties could be fascist? He seems to think there's a difference between the 2 parties ? Noam should maybe wake up to the fact that the Democratic party of his day is nothing like what it is today.
I think he almost admits as much: the left has just handed power to the oligarchs.
He can't tho. He can't "wake up to the fact" of anything at this point. He's 94. I understand that he sounds very coherent for someone so old but the ravages of time spare no one. His brain, anyone's brain, is not going to be same anymore at 94. Just as his face could not be expected to have stayed the same from his youth.
In other words it is physically impossible that Noam is still the once brilliant man he once was because of the known science of what happens to the brain in the aging process especially at ages approaching a century.
Unfortunately Noam appears to have experienced a lesser state of brain decay so far. In that he sounds coherent enough so that all of his many, many sycophants will still hang on his every word as if the Oracle of Delphi has spoken. And I say unfortunately because you are right. You're 100% right about the mistake Noam is making. That mistake is likely something we will have to clean up for many years to come amongst his adoring fans who have very little critical thinking skills but great parroting skills.

The only human I truly, deeply trust and respect in this planet. A life honorably lived - what a legend of a human.
I find some of the things Chomsky says contrary to my strong beliefs about certain issues. But, I know he is honest and more likely to be correct than wrong- therefore, I should check and question my assumptions. I wish there were more of those people around…so I could learn and improve.
I hope your fully vexed otherwise your hero would have you exiled from society and left to starve .. 😂😂😂
Professor Noam Chomsky is a national treasure; he has been one of the few sources of information for Americans for the past several decades that we can rely on for the truth. He is one of the foremost intellectuals in the US that can restore some sense of balance with the propaganda served to us on cable news daily. Thank you for having him on your program.
Chomsky is a bad joke, an actor. Only people who are soft in the head fall for his BS mixed in with blatantly obvious virtue signaling.
Everyone here seems to like Noam but I don't know about a person who decided that force the vote on Medicare for All was a lose for Democrats and liberals. Dude literally is considered this huge liberal but said no to a vote on Medicare for all during the pandemic. Can't let that go.
Fitting that NPR has permabanned Noam from their consideration. It was when I started listening to his college talks that I began seeing their political broadcasts as, to put it in his words, 'serving power'.
Good to see UA-cam lifted their ban on you. Idk how you managed when you speak and report on the truth, but I'm glad just the same. I just purchased your book, "The Greatest Evil is War" but am impatiently still slogging through RFK's book "The Real Anthony Fauci." I put the latter off for so long, that many of the "revelations" aren't very secret anymore. But, I bought it, so I feel obligated to read it cover to cover. Your books, "America: The Farewell Tour," and "Days of Destruction. Days of Revolt" inspired original songs I posted on my music channel. I have no doubt this new one will be sung about in days to come! Thank you for your inspiration!
Good one. What kind of !music channel? Sounds interesting!
Never forget his position and remind yourself of what actually came out of his mouth on state sanctioned enforcement of a still in trial medical procedure and the conspiracy of silence regarding injury and excess mortality world wide. Sickening.
hahaha we have a right-wing fool right here
Most likely that storyline has little weight. When vaccinating for a novel disease, it’s understandable that the drug had less testing than what we would normally expect. Excess mortality is due to Covid
Please gentlemen, you have to have more talks for us to listen to you.
Everyone who wants to leave Russia should have to answer questions about Putin’s war with Ukraine on video. Only if they get the questions right should they be allowed to leave Russia. The videos should be posted online.
That’s very sensible but many of those viewing this want to see Russia as the victim and Ukraine as the ‘Nazi’. Hedges did an interview in April saying that while he opposed the war he could ‘understand’ Russia’s (Putin’s) reasoning. In this instance Hedges reveals himself as a fraud. Ofc after years of taking money from the Kremlin and never offering a serious critique of Russia we already knew that.
Listening to Chomsky and Chris....reminds me of "Horton Hears a Who" . In that these two voices are barely audible in this world, yet they are the most compelling. My thoughts align with them, as a mote of dust
Peoples selfishness depresses me but i know they are compelled by their natural instinct to be competitive thus they cannot help themselves. But they are still either selfish or uneducated as they should know better, i'm trying not to be too hypocritical here but i am living modestly at the moment.
We need to regulate two instincts. That of being territorial and that of being competitive. Neither should harm either the environment nor each other and that is where they should be capped, on a global scale ! What a catch 22!
We are at least as cooperative by nature.
I think propaganda has led people to value ego and a false sense of superiority (through competition or otherwise). But we could just as easily raise people to help others instead of be selfish.
All hunter gatherer societies compel cooperation and sharing. Because they need it to survive. And i believe humans have some egalitarian tendencies, as other primates do.
But in capitalism, to survive you have to compete with others for a job. And whoever is most loyal, exploitable, and/or useful in furthering their owners' capital wins, so ofc ppl will be competitive in that environment
Being competitive is not natural instinct, maybe for those of predator prey evolutionary potential. It is natural for mammals to foster and raise families and communities in order to survive and thrive.
Agree. In a drive to insanely compete, people forget to cooperate in parallel. Common sense is above education. The balance of competition and cooperation is a sensitive balance of self and other. Cars movie explains the concept.
Competitiveness is not a natural human instinct. Cooperation is. Competition is a requirement for survival in capitalist systems.
Competitiveness is not a natural human instinct. Cooperation is. Competition is a requirement for survival in capitalist systems.

Chomsky "remembers 1930s"! In 1939, he was only 10 yrs old when he wrote an article for a school newspaper. It was after the victory of Spanish dictator Franco. It was about the seemingly "inexorable rise" of the "fascist plague" in Europe.
The irony of Victor Orban is when Richard Spencer went to have a little speech in Hungary, Orban had him arrested on entry. Neither Orban nor the GOP s/b taken seriously.
God bless you, and us all.
This all about good and evil.
It would be really useful if this video came with subtitles, it's sometimes hard to hear what Chomsky is saying.
Press more...up the top, and the transcript prompt will appear on the right.
That's part of his shtick, it's how he brainwashes the that percentage of the people you can fool all off the time in to thinking "he's a national treasure" when in fact he's a big fraud with the right backers.
@@duellingscarguevara the transcript is terrible. But it helps.

Would Jeffrey Sachs make a good candidate for president? I've been watching recent interviews with him, and he sounds pretty progressive.
I don't think it matters who the president is ultimately. They really only serve the illusion that there is a two party system, when there is really only one. And that one party is the unelected, forever serving bureaucracy that operates the system. Whose ultimate goal is global hegemony at the behest of the multinational corporations it makes policy and law for.
I do think Jeffery Sachs is an extremely well thought out man, who understands clearly our foreign policy positions. Especially in regards to Russia. I love listening to his assessments.
I just listened to his terrific October9th interview by Aaron Mate on the podcast Pushback.
Want to see how he would rule? Look at what he did with his capitalist neoliberal policies in Russia. Caused mass, mass suffering.
Search up his history.
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.

Ahh yes, the honorable Mr. Chomsky. 🙄 The guy that wants people who refuse to bow to the state and pharmaceutical companies to figure out how to find their own food. Truly a despicable human being.
Noam Chomsky is a man with a vast and admirable knowledge but it does grate on me when he refers to the UK as England.
Thanks for this. US Corporate media fails us.
One of the best things Chomsky has taught me is to use the current system, whether you like it or not, to advance your goals. Overthrowing systems is not easy, violence has to be used, it fails many times, and you get a lot of negative publicity. With the current political climate in the US , leftist forces must join the political arena with Democrats if we even have a chance of making the Democrats move even more towards our position.
Current example. Cornel West's campaign, as it is now, I support. But when the rubber meets the road (General Election) I have no choice but to go for the Democrats. I believe it would be a bad idea if he were to stay in the race until the end.
Thank you gentlemen.. true heros
😅
"Corporation", "Cooperative"
One of them is the cause of our problems. The other is not popular and even feared and hated with xenophobia but seems to work and protects against fascism.
Following The Chris Hedges Report and today, Chomsky the present day Socrates/Bakunine
So much of this rings true . To hear this interview makes me feel better that other folk actually understand the attack (class war ) against all working class people
tnx Chris..
Long may run, long may you run...
I will never think of Chomsky the same after finding out he had financial connections with Jeffery Epstein. Really raises some questions about what Noam is into...
The present time is extremely frightening!!!!!! I try to fight for democracy, for liberté égalité fraternité, what Benjamin Franklin said and gave to the French Republic. I fear for the future and our children.
You're not much of a fighter if you "fear". If I would fear I would fear for the wealthy. Eventually the worthy rich will have to be sifted from the idle rich.
Thank you Chris Hedges and thank you Professor Chomsky

Two of the greatest minds of our time discussing, with refreshing candor, the crises we face. Thank you.
Theblues music was great to hear on this too.
All of the productivity gains since the 70's have gone to the already most wealthy. This is because the economy runs the government, not the other way around.
The capital class rules the government, not the common man.
The popular vote already supports minority rule and a false compromise between what usually becomes two wings of the same corporate interests. Add to that like for example US involvement in the world and the US props up disproportionate power in places like Ukraine. After the occupation of the square in Kiev the US could have backed the pro democracy groups in Ukraine, but it's easier to just prop up the NeoNazis in Ukraine and far right nationalists who are a minority of the population. This causes war and conflict too which the MIC makes money from. And then also this whole Ukraine thing is a way by which the US can wage an economic war against Europe.
24:30 Sea level, Eastern Mediterranean: Interesting climate fact -the level of water in that part of the Med is six feet lower than it's gravitational potential due to evaporation. Without the water flowing in from the Atlantic the Med would be a few large dead-sea like lakes within a desert more inhospitable than any that exist today except Antarctica and Greenland.
Also, that part of the world is one of the most tectonically active regions on the planet. Tsunamis are not uncommon. Events like the Boxing Day and Japan tsunamis have happened there in the past.
Maybe a mega tsunami is just what that region needs.

Unfortunately mr Chomsky has decided to do the bidding of the establishment. Listen to this person talking about fascism when he is on record talking about starving people if they choose not to get a vaccine, a product which has been proven to have not been what it was supposed to be. I used to respect him and appreciated his work on exposing Manufacturing Consent but then does the very same thing. Is sad.
I lost all respect I had for Chomsky when he stated those who refused the jab should be removed from society and not allowed to work.
The right would agree. Most of the center right or left independents also. Hard core liberals, - some. But the Woke will follow the Narrative to their grave like a cult like religion
Compare the Covid deaths in China to those in the US. Unbelievable difference but it takes radical policy. Americans are too rugged individualism minded, while other cultures are more community and common good focused
If the vaccines worked, then the unvacc were no threat. He had the opportunity to keep human freedoms as a priority, but folded with the propaganda, media and gov fear mongering and he did not understand the science or listen to the many alt voices who did. Chomsky failed to practice what he preaches.
@@tombradburn3935 Yea,,, but you make light of the Chinese Central Government Tyranny that was taking place when they literally WELDED their people in there homes. They have no choice than to be " Community and common good focused" Not sure if you know what reality is on this subject.
