Trump had us IN the shitter ..... along with his ripped up documents.

I didn't bother to vote for trump because I thought he would do ignorant BS the entire time as president but after about a year of studing him I realized how wrong I had been.

How can you vote for him? The lies...with the "stolen" election and the documents he took...his children making millions while in office...I could go on. I'm not saying Biden is great...but Trump is offing nuts man

After ? U mean after the stolen election, correct?

steven collins Trump is the remedy. That is why the globalists fight him.

steven collins i respect our president for fighting to bring corporations back so middle class has jobs to chose from. Middle class wages are going up. Jobs are there which lifts all boats. I love how our president is a fighter and he calls out bullshit where he sees it. Our own government interfered in our 2016 election and their partner in crime was the Ukraine and DNC. We want our stolen tax dollars back. It appears to be 2-7 billion missing. In Ukraine they already had corruption trials for interference in OUR election. There are people in prison over there for it. Our media is not giving us the truth. They are complicit just like they were with Jeffrey Epstein story because they protect their own....Clinton, Prince Andrew, etc, etc. We will seek the truth endlessly. This impeachment is ridiculous. Our president was asking for help with identifying corruption and getting to the bottom of it. THAT IS HIS JOB! He is for the people regardless of what the media and political left say.

Your comment insinuates that while it was before Trump, he is also part of it. Baseless and 100% incorrect. He is the solution. He is simply doing the job weve not seen in decades. He doesn't care if something is politically expedient. He does whats best for us.

Mr05chuck you said it loud. You said it clear. But did you listen as well as you hear? Or is it too late....

Mr05chuck trump the remedy? Wtf???? Please pay attention

It's not just Trump he hates although I agree with your comment to 100%, he hates Jews and Israel because it's Jewish there are videos out there where you could hear him say anti-semitic things in our rant that I'm blind but I imagine when he's talking in these videos are ranting about his hatred for Israel and Jews he's from it from the mouth LOL so that's not the only thing he hates sincerely was, Bob the blind bedroom guitarist

BehindtheWall In Canada and many areas of the world we call it a conversation. Watching American talk shows is a lesson in how not to conduct yourself amongst a group of people. Although I was surprised how much Roger pointed at everyone, that's some what rude in Canadian culture, not sure how it's perceived in British culture though.

Letting the guest actually speak a lot and taking a back seat as the presenter is the sign of a good talk show host imo

Everything is involved in politics to some degree,unless you only want to talk about sport and entertainment. Roger Waters has been against the corruption in right-wing politicians all his adult life.

@DylanG0125 I don’t even think that you need to have experience hard times. There have been many high society figures who have denounced their titles to do what they could for the good of the people, Tony Ben being one of them. My point is that very often these famous people live in gated communities unable to walk down the street and live freely in the sense that you and I would call normal. I’m not totally tarring roger with that brush but I’d say the majority of famous folk are so detached from the norms that is the common mans reality that their political input is often hard to digest.

They are detached from your reality. That doesn’t mean that they don’t know anything.

Education has become indoctrination , if you're good at memorization & regurgitation you can have a place In management of the tax plantation.

@Debra Charles ... You forget that in the 1970's Good Old Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education on the Federal Level and that is when the quality of education started its downfall. In the 1990's kids were told not to ask questions that went against what was being taught and when they did they were silenced by the teachers. It has only gotten worse as schools implemented subject matter that should never have been in a school to begin with. Far to many kids are being told they have ADD/ADHD and pills shoved down their throats in order to keep them docile and complicit within the indoctrination process. The simple fact is many of those kids are just bored to death and need to be taught in a more interesting manner that they can grasp and understand.

Roger Lee I agree wholeheartedly. However, being that media, music, movies and the like are all saturated in liberal politics and it’s difficult for conservatives, (at least it is for me) other than listening to Christian music, to find music to listen too. It kinda ruins it for me when I hear something I don’t politely agree with in music I like from bands I formally listen to and can’t anymore because the message is something I can’t support. I find it funny how much of Pink Floyd’s music pushes back against Nazis, communism and other forms of authoritarianism only to agree with the liberal left... seems pointless, hypocritical and honestly ruins their music for me... ☹️

That's all Roger wants you to do. What he's saying is that in both the US and Britain, most of the values which run through society are not there to help you or me think for ourselves; they are there to maintain the status quo.

I don't think he actually said anything good about Trump, only that he understood Trump voters. As a canadian I'd have to thank Trump for killing the Trans Pacific Partnership, because NOBODY else was going to do that, NO party in Canada was going to do that. Here in Canada they couldn't WAIT to trample more democratic rights with another trade agreement. As a canadian it was bizarre to watch as Trump reopened NAFTA, something NO canadian politician will even MENTION let alone Canada having been screwed over by the states far more than the US did by Mexico. And yet Trump reopened it and demanded Mexico pay its auto workers what Canada and the US were paying. NO canadian politician had ever said that, canadian politicians basically help pack the bags of any industries leaving the country. When the FTA was first signed, 30,000 muffler manufacturers were put out of work in a month. And at those negotiations Canada wasn't even THERE. So how bizarre a world is it that your country gets its best trade negotations from the country that screwed us over, but from a president who is most certainly crazy. And here in Canada when he slapped the tariff on softwood the media and goverment went crazy on how bad Trump was for trade when EVERY person in canada knows damn well we pretty much GIVE our softwood lumber to the corporate license holders, so Trump was most certianly right.

When you say worked hard, in what job? Does your wife work too? Do you have parents who helped you out with some downpayments? Did they drive you to places growing up? How much did they help when you got older and did them or their friends help you out with finding a good job? Did you know the person or someone who worked at the place you work now before applying for the job? What about your wifes side of things, did her parents help too? It's surprising really how much of a huge boost in life having the help of parents and friends can be. There are people working highly technical jobs right now living in their cars because the cost of an average rent is more than two thirds of their monthly income. They're house sharing 5 or more to a single 2-3 bed property. This is in California. And these people are programmers, vfx artist, game designers and software developers. It is absolutely obscene... And out in the red states there just aren't many jobs anymore. Maybe working in the mines or some factory but even so these jobs just don't pay the rent. And what's even worse is that job list websites have thousands of fake job listings for a number of reasons (artificially increase stock prices, hiring internally, legal obligation..) and they have just as many thousands of applicants per listing. The job market is really awful and has been for so long now. And with regards to my questions above, if you can answer yes to any of those then you are extremely fortunate because otherwise you would be competing with the vast majority out there with no edge.

@@427dorosz And you wish you could make it to the level of Curly.

Excellent question especially since we are now living in that world.

If your question was directed at me I would say that never in my life have I felt like we were vulnerable and weak in the eyes of the rest of the world until now. Under Biden I have truly lost all trust in our system not that I ever had much, and sadly I feel like the media has shamed themselves irreparably especially on the left. This is the first time in my life where I’m not proud to be an American. I’ve paid $51,000 in taxes so far this year and i seems like Russia to me or what I would think communism would feel like as I’ve never experienced it. There’s a lot more I could say but I don’t want my kids wondering why I’m getting upset

@@67hundredthz If you pay 51.000 tax in the US you must have a huge income and at least have some 150.000 left to spend on yourself. Not bad, I'd say... Biden has not had the time to change the tax code and if he does what he says, you and everyone else earning under 400.000 should be OK. Nothing much has changed in the US till today in politics. simply because all energy and lots of money go to the pandemic. The fake outrage is perpetuated by the usual suspects, FOX, OANN, Newsmax and their ilk. My sons in Florida immediately blamed Biden for the hike in gas prices that occurred even before his inauguration. True, the gas prices went up a lot, also in Europe where I live, in the UK and Canada and Australia and probably everywhere else in the world. All caused by a president that is not even in function? There are at least 10 factors that determine the gas price at the pump. Covid disrupted the consumption and production of oil products, travel increased, oil price had gone from almost zero to a high level etc. etc. Inflation increases too, all over the world. Not good news for me, a pensioner with a net income of about 38.000 USD per year, after paying about 30% in taxes and of course I pay also VAT, tax on gasoline, real estate tax, watership fees, local taxes etc. This income will not rise along with the rising inflation-driven cost of living. I don't whine like you though, because I understand that it's not the government or an American president that causes this. It's the f**ing OPEC, the big corporations in oil, pharma, food and tech that set the prices of almost everything we buy. Those corporations have way, way too much power, so when they want something done, they will get it, using their monopolies to extort governments in giving tax breaks, cheap labour, cheap raw materials and a license to pollute the world as much as they see fit to maximize teir profits. Right and left wing politicians make only marginal changes to the system, on the fringes. Clinton did very well for the economy of the rich and the country, but not for the working people. He presented a balanced budget for the firat time in a hundred years or so. Bush made mess of the economy with his wars in the ME and the finacial crisis caused by the unregulated wolves and sharks in the banking system and Wall street. Obama was presented with this heritage and was forced to spend tons of dollars to bail out banks and industries. People who couldn't pay their mortgage anymore were not bailed out.. Left and right, it's almost the same if you look at the results. Some shift money to the rich, some try to raise the minimum wage, or introduce affordable care, but in the end nothing of importance changes. This is more or less the jest of the message of Roger Waters, whom I admire as a musician and songwriter. I still remember the performance of Pink Floyd attended in Rotterdam, when I was much, much younger and just started as a Physics teacher at a High School...

If youre asking me, i feel so much better having voted trump out. He was completely inept. anything would be better than trump, thats why Biden won by a landslide. The vast majority of Americans simply wanted trump out.

@@ivovlot4094 Oh, Biden's WAY more wealthy than that. And he's not giving up one, tiny bit of it. Never has, never will. Trump didn't even accept a salary as President, and gave it all to charity.

whats balanced about this? I hear no counter argument, just a bunch of hypocrite ignorant foreigners talkin shit about America

If that seemed balanced you clearly weren't paying attention

@@trcosper "I hear no counter argument, just a bunch of hypocrite ignorant foreigners talkin shit about America" Well I'm American and I will repeat the same reply that I have just made upstream. But first, it is clear to me that you consider any and all foreigners to be ignorant. YOU are the ignorant here. You probably never set foot outside of this country so who are you to tell. "When he mentions that he has empathy for those who voted and support Trump due to the "fact" that "they have nothing" is quite nonsensical! Maybe there are some who don't have much but lots of them are also filthy rich. I would be more inclined to think that most of his supporters are either mesmerized by "what they think" Trump is or due to the fact that they are die-hard republicans totally and inexorably draped in blue. Trump exploits this reality to his favor without giving them anything in return and he totally knows that they are blinded by the bullshit lingo he spews out in his infernal rallies and on Twitter. And let's be serious about this! Trump is a total racist so most of them have a natural tendency to glorify him, FOR THAT FACT!"

sirius428 I’m an American and that is just your opinion. Totally skewed and No facts.

@@pauleaster5832 "I’m an American and that is just your opinion. Totally skewed and No facts." Oh, there are facts! Lot's of facts. Your denial of these facts renders your reply quite ridiculous. Kinda shows that YOU are totally and inexorably draped in blue. If you prefer to keep your eyes closed to reality, that belongs to you and there's nothing I can do about it. Sweet dreams!

Roger Waters is one of the healthiest musicians in the business. He motivated me to keep working out into my 60's. At 76+ years, Roger cuts an imposing stage presence. Which reminds me, ..., why the fuck is Keith Richards still alive? How did that lush outlive Bowie, Petty and Zappa?

You Rocked with Kansas!

An authoritarian would say the Falklands should belong to Argentina. A freedom... lover... "classical liberal" would say that the people on the island should decide.

An authoritarian? Not sure I see that leap.

The Islanders at the time both wanted and declared they wished to remain with Britain, not Argentina.

@@olewetdog6254 An authoritarian wants to take power or control from the people and give it to a government or other body.

The Falklands should belong to Argentina. In fact, Britain was warming to the idea of having a very gradual transfer to Argentina, (roughly similar to what they did with Hong Kong) when the Argentine Generals decided to invade in 1982. Argentina has too many of it's own problems now but hopefully it can restore itself to prosperity and stability and eventually have the Islas Malvinas as an autonomous self-governing territory.

Roger pretends to be a good guy when the cameras are rolling.

@@brad1368 I think he's a perfectly nice guy. Just not a good person to work with.

Definitely the star of Pink Floyd.

Are you saying when you were 15 or when Roger was 15? Roger was 21 or 22 when Pink Floyd was founded. I know that Syd had named the band after two blues musicians. Had they discussed the name Pink Floyd 7 years prior to the band actually being set in stone? I know it was called The Pink Floyd Sound, then shortened to Pink Floyd.

Vangelis makes incredible music.

Tell me more please, I was unaware.

And Roger LOST. Pink Floyd Won.

As you wrote this 2 years ago I’ll let it go.

It is about your government, not all people. Somehow your government actions reflects, whar Roger and I think about you. I agree about Donald, that (in spite of many other flaws) he was not eager to start any new war - but now with Biden it feels that igniting UA war is just a beginning....

@@mguzjebesku2591 Biden is going with a new foreign policy. He is dumping the peace by strength concept and going with the "sorry about America" concept. He is showing a weak America to the world and the world is about to fall apart. The U.S. is not independently thinking when it comes to conflict. Many nations depend on the U.S. for their security. Look at what happened in Afghanistan. A force of 2500 U.S. troops kept that nation in some sort of civility. But now Biden high tailed it out of there and now the Taliban took over. Look at what rights have been taken from women. Look at what has happened to their economy. Trump wanted a withdrawal, but I think in the end he would've kept Bagram Air Base. And now, Ukraine. Soon Israel and Taiwan. Biden is a disaster. Also, Roger references "Maggie" in is songs. Referring to Margret Thatcher, who he hated. So, it's not just about our gov't. I'm not totally sure about what Trump would've done, but I think he would've kept the peace by strength concept, and we wouldn't be in the mess were in globally.

I think we would both agree that if someone physically assaulted another to steal there money, that that would clearly be a case of "violence". However, do you think if the one being assaulted defends themselves with physical force it's defined as "violence"? I do not. Do you think their is a chance for diplomacy at that moment of the assault? When someone or a group of individuals in power violate the sanctity of human rights and human dignity and reasoning and diplomacy fail, what recourse is their? Let's take WWII for an example, is doing nothing better than defending a less powerful people because to do so would be considered "violence"? Would slavery still exist in this country without physical force? Is freeing enslaved people "violence"? People must stand up to tyranny or they would be enslaved or destroyed. To label every use of physical force as "violence" is reckless. Of course the use of physical force should always be avoided, and only be used as a last resort.

sounds like your describing liberal leftist and the riots of summer 2021 in USA, destroying property and killing people because they felt no one was listening

My general rule is I’ll threaten people who have stolen more than $10,000 from me. Usually it works, sometimes police get involved. But usually I’m paid, they become afraid. Fear is a powerful ally for good people to understand, it’s not only for the criminally insane.

Now you're talking about democrats being violent right . If you think jan 6 was republican Trump supporters your writing . Trump supporters were the ones walking inbetween the roped off area not the crazy people .

I DO NOT LONG FOR POVERTY BEING A PAUPER IS TERRIBLE!!!!!

Got any stats to back up Trumps time in office. 40% of $US ever made were printed which all went to the top 10% - mass civil unrest, twice impeached for treachery. And an attempted COUP to top it off. Now stealing & ‘loosing’ top secret classified material; worse than Assange or Snowden.

You got your prepositions screwed up - instead of "for" you need to substitute "To",

@@alonsoarana5307 Is he wrong? Can't you refute what he's saying without resorting to insults? Shades of the left these days, unfortunately.

Minor side note: We lost the war. The Crown let us win, knowing that they had sufficient moles in place and could hijack us later with central banking and free masonry. But hey, who doesn't love a good illusion? "There are none so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free".

Just because you don't care doesn't mean you shouldn't listen. You can say what you like but that's a clear sign of ignorance and arrogance and is a terrible way to live your life. Before you have a go at me for insulting you why don't you take a deep breathe and just think before you speak next time eh?

Actually he was. FIrst of all, britain is not the US. Back then university was paid for. So almost everybody went. In case you don't know about the sixties, the 'rebels' were most definitely in college even in the US, in fact MORESO in the US. So that is just wrong. Condescension is something else, certainly anybody who paid attention knows that almost half of voters voted Trump, thats a hell of a lot more than the homeless so that goes without saying. But if you have a specific argument of theirs then point it out, otherwise you are just condescending yourself.

Good America loving people with self interest and no regard for the morals of a cheater liar con man, pussy grabber, and accused rapist voted for Trump. God bless America! The right God, the White God Jesus’s Farher. Amen 💵💵💵💵🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤡🤡🤡🇺🇸🤡🤡🇺🇸🤡🤡🇺🇸🤡🤡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👸🏻👸🏻🇺🇸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏💩💩💩💩💩🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🤡🤡🤡🤡

Free Speech is Never Wrong --- that says it all. So edgy!

"only homeless people living in their cars voted for Trump" I have never once heard anyone say that. Me thinks you heard someone say it on a right-wing source so, of course, you believe it. My condescension for you is rooted in your ignorance. Don't get me wrong, we are all ignorant to some degree, but if you are continuing to defend trump at this stage, well, the shoe fits. That being said, Waters is way, way to confident that he has the only right answers. His shows reflect that. I do not like the overwhelming push of his viewpoint in his shows. Fine, write songs that make a statement, but lets dispense with the flying pig that tells us who to vote for.

He didn't say only homeless people living in their cars voted for Trump

are u just gonna say an ad hominem or actually add to the conversation?

Okay, Roger Waters hates the Jews and always has. That is supported by facts.@@bramsteenhoek2674

And yet he is liberal.

Computer say’s no. Beautiful, virtuous but no. See any basic evolutionary biology on gender conflicts, sibling rivalry and the relative values of cousins. Not just no. Brutally no.

You're talking about every single Hollywood, music, sports, fashion or tv stars and liberal celebrities. Yeah, they're annoying.

Well said and 100% true

Well, voting for Trump isn't the answer. He helped some people all right, those with last names like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Koch. His $2 trillion tax cut didn't do anything for anyone not extremely wealthy. None of that trickled down. Unfortunately, some of those you refer to answer to those like Trump who try to divide us with his scapegoating of immigrants. Meanwhile, he employed illegal aliens himself.
