The choices are still pretty boring. I don't see either party seriously looking to scale back nuclear weapons, and tensions with China and Russia. Or seriously addressing the climate catastrophe about to crush humanity.
I think of most politicians like WWF characters, they take role and build a fan base and they profit by putting on a show. The struggle is the paycheck and the more emotional the public is made the more they make. The politicians that actually do anything are in the middle working the bureaucracy but that’s boring and so no one knows their names.
Its only Armageddon because the media tells you it is. When in reality it's just uni-party globalist vs populist who want to bring jobs back to the people. The globalist elite don't want that to happen because they will lose a cpl % to the bottom line so they scare the sheep into believing the sky is falling. You are just perpetuating it. No reason to be scared unless Biden starts WW3.

Thank you for continuing to host Professor Chomsky. Not many outlets do and if ever there was a time for people to be paying attention to what he’s saying about now it’s now! Thank you! ✊🏼
@@throughconversations I love your show! I think you are an excellent interviewer and you choose guess that are educated truthteller’s. I wish we had more like you. You are appreciated.
Adolph Chomsky here was just screaming to round us up in camps if we didn't submit to Anthony Mengeley's scientific experiments! You missed your calling Chomsky, born just a little late! SMGDMFH! Fuk off!!! ✌🌎❤
Autocratic dictatorships are on the rise, as the professor stated, India, along with Israel, Hungry and Niger are just a few that are leaning or have entered into a dangerous state; Its quite frightening! As an American im terrified in the direction our country is heading.
@dunebilly of swan beach actually that came from msnbc.. sweet try bud. Have anything that says he wasn’t a big Epstein fan, or is “newsmax, Fox, orange man” as far as your brain goes?
I’ll give PC’s comment more credence when he learns how to spell pedophile. I am skeptical that MSNBC would even report such a charge. That network has its agenda like the other cable networks and that reportage doesn’t fit their take on things. Documentation please?
@@justindickenson8905 They were both a little distracted and giving each other high fives, at the time, wearing nothing but a couple pairs of red shoes.
@@mikahundin I would agree. The things you describe could arguably be laid at the feet of a dysfunctional government, the ones who make and implement laws. A functioning government will inevitably address social unrest. Whatever the cause, economic inequality is one. There are countries where society coheres better than America. It is worth considering how their national institutions achieve better results for their citizens. Remember that a perfect system is probably unattainable because we humans are not perfect.
I wish he could live forever... the planet needs men and women like Mr Chomsky to exist...a brilliant, enlightened, unselfish voice among all the noise.
Guys guys this guy hasn’t stumbled upon that information yet .. be a bit more kind to this guy commenting he probably had no clue now yea maybe he should be doing some more research but hey man yea noams a pedo now everyone seems to agree well obviously not everyone but you know what i mean a lot of us think he’s evil for ever meeting jeff ep . Simple . Period . End of paragraph. Not much else needed to be said .
Why do we still tune in at all .. if we have a major suspicion he’s a pedo and selfish ? Liar.. manipulation artist we arent sure of why or his true intentions and thats why people still tune in i guess its creepy stuff :|
He's an evil man who said unvaccinated should be locked in concentration camps and allowed to stave to death. He was, it now transpires, an acquaintance of Epstein
The world is warming. Maybe 1-5% of that is from humans. Climate is cyclical, and it's not a good reason to let the haves further fleece the have not. Remember who he was friends with.
your fooling yourself if think fossil fuels and humans have that much control on climate !! The world has been far warmer in the history of our planet !! long before fossil fuels !! Earth decides its temp and weather ! cant stop the sun , volcanoes, and the earths core from doing what its going to do !!
The world will suffer a major blow when this man passes, though I consider us quite privileged that he has provided us with so much documented knowledge we can refer back to for many decades into the future
True, Chomsky is wise and erudite. But no one can be right about everything and no man should be treated as God. As a guru, or a teacher, yes. But not as God. It is a fact that the current president is not Donald Trump but Joe Biden. And we are in a crisis under Biden, not under Trump. It could be argued that Trump will lead to a bigger crisis, and I agree that this argument has force. And yet, it is only an argument. What is happening under Biden is a FACT. We must never put our own thoughts above fact.
Nah, he's part of the problem now. The MAGA people thrives on distrust and nowadays they pretty much echo Chomsky's one-sided and shallow criticisms and villifications of US foreign policy in order to give Russia free reign and help Putin dismantle the global security order and crush the alliances of democracies.
Professor Chomsky, I have admired your intelligence, common sense and no-nonsense approach to serious issues. I wish there were more people like you in this country ....
It’s a shame he’s censored almost everywhere. I don’t watch MSM but I’m sure they never host him. One of the most important voices in America and you have to do to find his interviews. He does three day at the age of 94 but good luck finding them. This channel does and why I respect them so much. Noam scares a lot of people who can’t handle the truth.
Jeffrey Epstein helped move $270,000 for renowned linguist Noam Chomsky and also paid $150,000 to Bard College president Leon Botstein, the Wall Street Journal has reported. According to the newspaper, and also confirmed by Chomsky and Botstein, the late sex offender and financier had financial dealings with the two academics and had met with them multiple times. In 2018, Chomsky asked Epstein for help with a “technical matter” regarding the disbursement of common funds relating to his first marriage, the Journal reported. Meanwhile, in 2016, Botstein received checks from an account linked to Epstein that amounted to approximately $150,000, the Swiss American conductor and Bard College president told the Journal. Botstein told the Journal that Epstein had designated him as a consultant on the payments and made them appear as if they were fees for consulting work, which Botstein said he did not do for Epstein.
Because every major decision on public policy in society is pivotal. The work of social evolution is constant and never-ending. Sadly, most people are too small-minded to see the big picture.
Where are you quotes of Chomsky to illustrate your points? You won’t do it because you are in the Hyena clan. You can’t take take anything seriously until you leave the Hyena clan.
Never have I seen a channel milk one conversation with one person as much as this one. You had this talk about a month ago and you're still clipping it up. Are you going to do a compilation of coughs and sighs from the conversation?
Noam Chomsky made quite a name for himself in his chosen field of linguistics.... Oh wait, nobody knows what he did in linguistics since he spent most of his time on geopolitics and without any formal training at that. He used to rail against those with no university background in engineering, architecture, aerodynamics or controlled demolition for daring to suggest anything suspicious about the government's version of 9/11. And here he is, the world's renowned expert on everything. He said the Bush administration couldn't have done it since "the Bush administration was not stupid." Where to begin?
Sounds like a great man. Age is now affecting him, though. At the end of life, we go back, and Judge our own life. He is in his mid-90’s. That’s a long life.
@@toneloc-cz2xiyou need to do your research more on the nature of their two meetings. it’s a little sus they met but not every single person who had a meeting with Epstein is a pedo and the times they met had purpose and were in public places. not like Chomsky was ever on the Lolita express or anything
Very interesting and thought provoking. I’m 80 and it’s a bit disturbing to hear that some of “my presidents” chose to contribute to business instead of to quality of life. I’d like to hear Professor Chomsky briefly evaluate the presidents - and - give some opinions on the mechanics of how a pro-business president gets the job instead of a quality of life president. Thinking before writing this, I’m reminded that Eisenhower (upon retiring) uncharacteristically warned about the Military Industrial Complex and how, apparently a really good man, Carter, was the butt of jokes in the media and only got one term. It seems that the only time we get a glimpse of truth from politicians is as they retire and have their last moment at the podium.
For many "Quality of Life" is a euphemism for other people who are more successful supporting them for free. Even the most poor and downtrodden have a valuable contribution to make for society. They don't need to be pensioned off as being helpless and worthless.
They’re actually is a video up there where an interviewer ask Professor Chomsky what is opinion of each president was. Some of them are so bad he just keeps over them. It’s easy to find her up on YT. ✌🏼
Pro- business can mean multiple things. The pre-socialist alliance between business and government will continue to grow as long as the government grows in power. Of you're a socialist you want those kinds of politicians. It could also mean free market, which is the destruction of large businesses through deregulation that disproportionately harms small business and eliminates competition. If you are more liberal or libertarian leaning you want these kinds of politicians.
The voices of reason... quieter and quieter these days. Love is the answer and it can solve all problems. Choose it over fear. All the rest stems from this choice
If love is the only answer, then why hasn’t it worked thus far? Understanding is the answer. Knowledge is the answer. Hate can even be the answer, especially when it’s something we must hate, such as evil. Overcome is the answer. Good over evil is the answer. Love is only a fraction of the answer.
Chris Bova....Yeah the Beatles said 60 years ago "All we need is love " . A few years later John Lennon wrote "Imagine ". Someone else sang "Letthere be peace on earth and let it begin with me". And on and on we go . Meanwhile we "Keep on truckin' " . S
Check out the interview when they asked Chomsky about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and ask yourself if more chomskys are actually beneficial to the world.
@@jonathanmun4180 You mean me? Or Noam? Because he was recently asked about his relationship with Epstein and he told the reporter it was none of her business
"I'm against war but not really, so obviously I support Biden......Trump didn't get us into any wars & help support the military industrial complex and he was not Natos bitch" - Noam 'Chump' Chomsky
I don't know what chomsky is blabbering about India . I hate the people who are so called expert on everything because they end up not knowing anything. Rahul Gandhi was never sent to jail he was just disqualified from the Parliament that too on the orders of the court . Infact recent elections in one state was won by his party . So chomsky is flattley wrong that Modi is creating Hindu ethnic state . India is a Hindu state governed by a secular constitution just like America is Christian country run by the constitution. And Modi cannot do a damn if people don't want anything to do since Indian Supreme Court is most powerful federal court in the world even powerful than US Supreme Court since here Judges appoint among themselves to who will be next chief justice of India. So clearly you can see no executive control over judiciary and they are pretty much free to do anything that's speaks a lot about their independence. So I guess chomsky should come out his lefty bias too see things in even !!
So if he doesn't do that, you'll vote for a coup attempting conman rapist? I mean, i'm definitely up for freeing assange but not voting in a climate denier coal industry stooge is more important.
What happened to the hole in the Ozone layer and its significance regarding climate issues? I don't hear much about it anymore. I still wonder what actually caused the destruction of this layer in a specific place.
The ozone layer reformed when we stopped the emissions of CFCs. Do your research. CFCs we're internationally banned because they were an immediate threat. Meanwhile regarding CO2 we are a frog in a pot of slowly heated water, by the time it's boiling it will be too late.
I've been told every election "was the most important election in history" since I could first vote. I could vote before 1990. They serve us shit on a stick, and then serve us shit on fine china, and everyone pressures you to vote for shit on fine china because they're the good party, and either way the corporate establishment wins.
He didn't answer the question. He answered what he considers the most important points in the election. At least 40% of the people in this country don't believe that global warming exists, so they don't consider stopping the use of fossil fuels an issue in this election. The people in this country have completely different priorities than Mr. Chomsky has.
@@janedvinsson The planet has been warming, this time, for 20,000 years. People had little or no impact on this for most of that time. It has been both hotter and with more carbon in the air before. Much of the Greenhouse gas is not even from America.
@@jameshudkins2210 nitpicking people like u r the result of your country and its contrarians. In the face of obvious quick climate changes u still go on about this all being a natural cycle. Pretty pathetic and infinitely exhausting to share oxygen with you
@@jameshudkins2210Agree. I remember Al Gore's movie from 20 years ago.....New York was supposed to be flooded out by rising level of the Oceans. Also, if as a Scientist you disagree with the Global Warming religion, you become an Outcast. Just saying. God Bless.
@@jameshudkins2210 We know all that and also Chomsky, but that is not what is happening right now. The scientists know what is happening very fast, accellerating and the reason why, leading to the conclusion that this is man made climate change, and that man has to do somethng about it very rapidly..man needs to stop burning fossil fuels.
Thank you Mr. Chomsky for your insight. As a person who has been thru and seen so many changes in America, the Upturns, and now the Downfall of America , it can shake you to the core. Since the end of WW11, Americans have been motived to progress, as All Civilization must do. But unfortunately or. Unfortunately we now have to face facts....Hard Facts...What Is The Next Step this World That has Been created will take? Hold On everyone Its gonna be a Bumpy Ride!!! ✌️💗
The central planners aren't in the government. The rentier oligarchy at the top of wall street (the deep state) does central planning for their private benefit, and they are the employers of politicians. The job of the politician is to deliver voters to the oligarchy by campaigning on whatever gets them elected with oligarchy funding, then do whatever the oligarchy wants, and they are taken care of whether they are reelected or not. "Reagan’s election marked the ascension of deep political forces to a position of sovereignty. Practically speaking, what emerged was an exceptionist tripartite state comprised of (1) a feckless public state, (2) a sprawling security state, and (3) the anti-democratic deep state to which they are subordinated. This consolidation and institutionalization of top-down power was such that US governance could thereafter be described as a deep state system." Good, Aaron. American Exception: Empire and the Deep State (p. 260). If the US had majority rule, i.e. a democratic form of government, we would have a decent minimum wage, Medicare for all, free education, parental and sick leave, legal marijuana, workers on corporate boards, lower credit card interest, not allowing politicians to own stock or immediately graduate to becoming lobbyists, public funding of drug research for public drug patents, and some kind of green new deal, just at first glance at the polls. We have institutionalized opposition at best, not representation at all.
Any idiot that high taxes in exchange for government programs is a “free service” Is to be disregarded. This everything you said here, the total lies about Reagan etc. Seriously- how are this misinformed? How?
I was lucky my original comment didn't get shadow banned, how much time do you want me top waste enlightening you when your enlightenment feature is broken, and the referee is dirty?
@@PC-tc5je Considering the subject matter, I believe that everyone who has association with Epstein is suspect to evil behavior. Although seemly intelligent, evil is evil. Thanks for the information everyone. 👍
So, if that's a treat to democracy in India.... Is constantly trying to silence and charge trump as bad? What about what zelensky has done to the ukrainian opposition, is that a threat to democracy?
"constantly trying to silence and charge Trump".. the guy broke numerous laws, spouts dangerous lies, and wields his mob following like a cudgel. He's a very dangerous man who must be stopped. One of the things that makes him so dangerous is his control over minds like yours, getting you to believe absurdities, which, as Voltaire said.. leads people to commit atrocities
i think the global status on nuclear weapons is very real indeed. im not sure, given population trends/increase and demand on resources, that doing away with fossil fuels is that easy, quick or the wholesome answer. my sense is that we're passed the point of no return. 10 years ago everyone was talking about how electrical cars will take over in no time, and? not so easy, not so fast is it? you don't convert the world resources overnight and certainly not in 20 years..... a bit of too many speculations
@@traviscutler9912 RFK JR " First, we stop Corporate from poisoning the frogs. Second, we no longer Allow Corporate lobbyists to petition Government for control of All frogs. Third, we will not go to War to Defend or aquire other Countries frogs, regardless of how lucrative it is for Corporate."

Chomsky is undeniably brilliant, but he doesn’t always get enough credit for thinking rationally. Late in life, he has moderated his personal views in favor of doing the bottom line necessary thing = saving the planet.
Any form of government is corrupted by humans. Comments such as yours are short sighted or disingenuous at best. Notice how you use mockery and insults? That’s often used in an attempt to devalue or invalidate someone’s view through emotion rather than logic and fact.
This is about the stupidest fucking thing I've read in months. "Unwarranted dread" my ass. If fossil fuel usage continues at its current rate, we will effectively kill off at least 70% of the earth's population by 2100. Most people just choose not to care, or "believe things will be fine" because they're likely not going to experience the full brunt of the effects in their lifetimes. These are signs of selfishness, egocentricity, and negligence, and anyone with this sort of outlook is quite literally an enemy of humanity itself. Even if we completely stop all use of fossil fuels today and never combust a single ounce of oil again, so much damage has already been done that this century will certainly be marked by the most severe natural disasters and famines in the entirety of human history. But maybe you're privileged and don't have to worry about these things. Maybe you can just move somewhere where the effects aren't as pronounced. That doesn't stop it from destroying billions of other people's lives. But yeah, let's all just believe things won't be bad. That's surely the answer alright.
