Gonna have to disagree. Charlie Rose has a special talent for interrupting or derailing a conversation right as it gets interesting. Glad to have youtube now instead of watching him on cable every night. We Charlies don't claim him
The problem here is simple: Charlie Rose was blocking. He didn't want to hear the answers to the questions he was asking Chomsky, because the answers would have indirectly revealed Charlie to be exactly the kind of media type Chomsky identified in books like "Manufacturing Consent;" the kind who are deeply involved in spreading lies and are very well paid to do it. Charlie is a consenter not a dissenter. He wouldn't want to lose access to celebrity criminals like, say, Henry Kissinger. Charlie Rose is, or was, a collaborator.
When you use words like "collaborator" you separate the world into activists and criminals. Us\Them. It is very inhumane and will ultimately be the downfall of whatever ideology you hold. In the end, it is no different that the anti-Semitism of the Nazis and Soviets or the hierarchical oppression of the Atlantic slave trade. It leads to death and cruelty at the expense of empathy. And it just isn't true.
Does this clip skip over Chomsky's remarks at around the 09:05? Or does Rose literally just interrupt him right as he is about to share something he is admittedly 'obsessed' with?
OMG is that what happened? I assumed it was just an old glitchy video but I think you are right. Just as he starts to answer the most interesting question they edit it out.
Light (Chomsky) vs. Darkness (Rose). (And is light penetrating darkness?) One wonders? But Chomsky rules! What an analytical mind! The depth of his mind and knowledge!
There are literally dozens, if not hundreds, of talks where Chomsky speaks uninterrupted for hours. It's perfectly fine for him to get grilled like this for a change.
@@CIARUNSITE i'd hardly call it a grilling, at least not in any constructive sense conducive to a meaningful exchange. Rose was essentially out of his depth. See fourth comment in by JohnCPaul.
@@CIARUNSITE Lmfao he didn't get grilled, not allowing someone to finish a point or even a sentence just shows that Rose was way out of his league. He rather not have Chomsky on again, just too dangerous, having someone listing facts like a walking encyclopedia would, highlighting to what extent your own little elite circle (which Rose belongs to) consists of nothing but power-serving frauds.
Poor Charlie Ruse. Noam won't even let him keep asking questions and intrupting and pontificating but insists on trying to actually answer questions and make a point that will help people understand our world. How un-American. Charlie would feel more comfortable perhaps forcing his amorous proclivities on someone in high heels.
@@pagetwentyone No, YT belongs to Google. Google is a powerful, huge corporation with deep ties to US political elite. Chomsky speaks about the establishment here - big corporate interests. They will never promote this video to the bigger audience. YT script will always push it deep down.
Speaking to chomsky, its got to be utterly demoralising as an interviewer trying to tip your toe into a potential debate, and to realise very quickly how infinitely poorly researched you are in comparison
This interview gets more interesting as time goes by. Chomsky, who repeatedly claims that he is excluded from massmedia, appears on Charlie Rose out of all shows; a show where UN-friendly David Rockefeller, the Rockellefer minion Kissinger, and a bunch of other celebs, have appeared. Now, what is more interesting is the fact that Charlie Rose himself has been a guest at the Bilderberg group, at least once (probably more), in Montreaux some years ago. Chomsky who turned a blind eye to the investigation of the murder of JFK, who still believes that Al-Qaeda were behind 9/11, a proponent of climate alarmism and who believes C-19 is a serious threat, and, in addition to that, says that "unvaxxed" people should isolate themselves. What kind of isolation, I may ask? The dude is a total fraud. Most likely an intelligence/Rockefeller asset.
We will never know the answers to the JFK + 9/11 questions. I'm cynical like you, but claiming you know an unverifiable truth is a fool's errand, and as Howard Zinn said a "misuse of energy". I agree with them. The logic is airtight. Covid is over ( the phenomenon or the disease, however you view it). His C-19 stance is the only one that I genuinely disagreed with, as it was the first instance of indifference I've seen from Chomsky. I for one forgive him because Covid hysteria infiltrated every community, despite the massive conflicts of interests in every direction. As for climate alarmist, those conflicts of interest do not exist. In fact, someone of Chomsky's ability could very easily become a tool for Big Energy or Big Oil and get paid a king's ransom, but he has two eyes and the science is incontrovertible, unlike Covid science. Chomsky readily admits being a privileged scholar who has indirectly been paid by the Pentagon as a faculty member at MIT. That makes me uncomfortable enough. Regardless, his ceaseless hounding of power centers in the US and the world make up for this in my view. As for your accusations, that's just crazy talk. Crazy because you can never prove it, not because I don't think the Rockefellers and their ilk aren't underground oligarchs
I don't think Charlie was disrespectful or a bad interviewer. And I appreciate him for having Chomsky on the show, which most people in the US media will not do.
I have never seen Charlie Rose be so OBNOXIOUS...Noam Chomsky is such a Giant of ideas; Charlie Rose please let the man convey his idea without your arrogance and B.S.
Is Rose interviewing Chomsky or is it the other way around? I've never seen an interviewer so frequently interrupt the subject. It's quite frustrating to witness.
The best part is where Chomsky says that Carter probably does not know the history of the '78 peace negotiation between Israel and Egypt. I am pretty sure that Chomsky comes to these interviews without the intention of making anyone look ignorant, but it always happens.
Nice thought. Noam is awesome in his ability to stay focused, keep listening, and finding substance where often I only see smoke and mirrors. His sanity is as awesome as his humanity. Both rare commodities in public figures these days.
he defends freedom of speech, including for holocaust deniers. apparently you don't believe in freedom of speech. he wasn't supporting the views, he was supporting his right to express them, it's not complicated!
It’s amazing how people can’t seem to grasp that distinction nor grasp the concept of someone taking a principled stand and supporting the right of someone they disagree with.
He's got a program to get through, I didn't mind too much. If you want to just listen to Noam talk about things, there are lots of lectures on youtube where you can do that :D
Hehe, I don't think that's the reason why. His interviewing style seems to be more fast paced questions and stuff, Chomsk'y answers are very drawn out (if he let him talk he may have answered like 5-10 questions (which isn't necessarily bad).
Same. Just as Chomsky was about to talk about the linguistics problems he thinks are most interesting but also on the boundary of what we can know, Rose interrupted him to ask about Said. I respect Rose for bringing him on the show but Rose isn’t the best person to interview someone like Chomsky. Rose is so used to politicians and celebrities who talk in pre-packaged sound bites.
I consider myself conservative. I also consider Chomsky to be one of the indisputable sources of common sense available in our world. Please square this for me.
Here's a question: at about 9:10 Chomsky is asked a question; he winds up to answer; the whole bloody thing is cut off. Why? I am tempted to nurture indignity with reference to familiar suspects: media coddling, in particular.
Charlie, I appreciate you have Naom Chomsky as a guest, but for goodness sake stop getting agitated, be quiet, and learn something from a man much more knowledgeable than yourself. Thanks you.
I love when people ask Chomsky, "How do you know some much about everything?" lol. Read books. Read the News. Study. Work for knowledge. It's not that hard, is it?
Bingo. Charlie Rose receives no funding from PBS; the *entirety* of his budget come from corporate sponsors. He once unctuously declared that there would be no discussions directly pertaining to the Coca Cola corporation on his show, as if this were supposed to *allay* suspicions of journalistic conflict of interest...
Sooner or later, Mr. Bush argued, sanctions would force Mr. Hussein's generals to bring him down, and then Washington would have the best of all worlds: an iron-fisted Iraqi junta without Saddam Hussein.

Maybe it's because you think like an old-school conservative. Many of them had a healthy respect for democracy, for rule of the people, and a healthy condemnation for plutocracy, a situation in which power is concentrated in a tiny, wealthy ruling class. Chomsky affirms the right of self-rule both here among the American people and elsewhere, as in the Palestinian occupied territories, for instance.
@drydust999 You'd have a point if it weren't for the fact that he travels around the world and talks to people about their grievances and passes on their wants are cares to the rest of us in his lectures.
Rose may be kind of right here about Freedman. The tone of the article where he wrote about a military junta in Iraq is actually descriptive and carries an implication of cynicism. He wasn't making policy prescriptions. On the other hand, Freedman did NOT prescribe any policies he DID support, so he EFFECTIVELY made propaganda for establishing a military junta, presenting this as being the only option real for the US, from a purely rational point of view.
I'm trying to find a source for where Bush and Blair said they'd invade Iraq even if Saddam's family left, I don't doubt Chomsky is correct- I'd just like to see where he got it from.
all you people who love chomsky remember this he passionately defended a holocaust denier and he hates Israel. I can't believe their are so many anti semetic pricks who love this self hating jew. If you think he is so brilliant watch the debate against alan dershowitz where he was reduced to a stuttering fool.
