The Chris Hedges Report: Noam Chomsky, Pt 1 

This man is 94 y'all. A real one, here. Thank you so much for your work and for featuring him.

Great job Chris. Long ago Chomsky was a big influence on me as well as Howard Zinn and people like Parenti. Over the last couple of decades you have become as powerful an influence on me as these men. I consider you a national treasure And I want to thank you.

It’s always great to see Chris Hedges and Noam Chomsky! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The fact of China has changed the design. I am grateful to Professor Noam Chomsky for his sharing and commitment. Thanks for inviting Professor Noam Chomsky.

Brilliant minds. Every time I listen to Noam I learn something new ❤

Having two of my favorite people in one session is a treat. 🙏❤️🙏

Fantastic stuff. Chomsky sounds like the wisest and most intelligent man in the world right now

This reminds me of one of the EU parliament ministers calling the EU (and the U and S) a 'garden' and the rest of the word 'a jungle'. Clare Daley (Irish EU minister) had a a great response to that. Thank you, Chris for bringing the legendary Noam to speak out. Bessings to Noam.

Noam at his most profound - and helpful. Humble thanks, Chris and team.

My favourite professors from whom I learn virtually every day. Chomsky, Chris Hitchens. Richard Wolf , Chris Harris , Chris Hedges., Richard Dawkins ect etc. Special thanks to George Carlin and Jon Stewart. I missed out on tertiary education but at 75yrs old through no fault of my own. However over the years I have educated myself (auto didact ) through the collective wisdom of your masterful minds. THANK YOU.💙💙💙👍👍👍You are truly God's gift to HUMANITY.

Amazing that this man, in his 90s, still does more reading, research and commentary than a dozen, younger, journalists.

Noam Chomsky was, is and will be forever an example of integrity and truth, one of greatest thinkers, not only of our time, but thought human history. Thank you sir, for helping me to see the world in right colors and making me better man for that.

Thank you for supporting and promoting Chris Hedges. One of the most prominent journalist of our age. No words can describe Noam, one of a kind human being. Thank you TRNN!

Wonderfully informative conversation. Thank you.

Always the pursuit of truth. Not an easy job in a world of lyes. To be liquid is a blessing. Navigating mankind is a full time job . Balance does help. Wisdom is worth the pursuit.

Thanks Chris! Great job! Noam Chomsky is unequivocally the world's most important intellectual and historian. Does anyone even come remotely close? It's unbelievable that so few know this.

As ever..surfing close to the edge of the void. Blessings going out to both of you for that. Keep up the good work fellas! 🙏🙏 ✌😎

Thank you, Chris. Respectful listening, thoughtful questions.

Great Interview, thank you both.

Thank you for your truthfulness

Thanks Mr. Chris Hedges for your truthful , humanitarian and courageous journalism . May God create a 100 more Chris Hedges so together you could bring peace and knock down all the war Mongers . The war Mongers band together and are imposing these Rabid behavior of unending wars on the populace of peace makers , who have not yet become stronger than the war Mongers . Hope soon peace makers working together will become stronger than the war Mongers and establish peace .

Thank you very much for sharing your video thanks to Professor Noam Chomsky and Chris hedges from Europe Thank you very much 💗💙💜💖🌼🌺❤️

You can learn a lot from a man like Noam Chomsky.

Great interview! Thanks for having Noam on Chris, your questions are great!

The world needs more people like Chris and Noam - it will be a sad day for the world when Noam is no longer with us. I will miss his wisdom, intelligence and humanity.

Great stuff as always. Seems like even with RU-vid and the Internet it’s hard to get dissenting opinions to the masses.

Noam Chomsky is in the top 10 quoted people of history , while he still alive and sharp as ever. This guy is a modern day Elijah….Thank you kindly for this informative interview ❤

Chris your work is essential. I cannot express how profound and honest it is. Yours is the telling scrutiny revelation of Fascist America, police state America, Mind controll America. You must continue these reports. It is wonderful you bring on Noam Chomsky. I recall Noam Chomsky interrogated by William F. Buckley, Jr. Buckley was rude and a bully, despicable. Yours is an equitable platform. You are one of a kind. The man Diogenes sought to find. I wish you the very best.

Brilliant minds #Chomsky and Chris Hedges 👌👏👏👏❤️ What a shame most of the world misses out on their amazing insights and truths. Huge thank you to Real News Network for hosting them. 🙏❤️

Bless you both with health and happiness x

May God bless Noam and Chris. For telling the truth!

Chomsky has always had the rare skill of a treatment or treaties on highly subjective postulates and cuts through the assumptive native of intellectualism and maintains an impeccable integrity in thought. We must not lose this man--sadly he will not live forever. May Chris Hedges take a nod from Chomsky and take on the mantle of such a charge. Truly heroic, maintaining the face of truth while standing within a world of lies.

I'm a big fan of Chomsky and Chris Hedges. Thank you.

The sanity of Chomsky, plain common-sense. Thankyou Noam

I could listen to Noam Chomsky for hours. Thank you Chris Hedges for doing such a great interview.

Hero's of America today!!

I could listen to Noam talk for days.. such a great mind

What a treat to see two of my favorite humans (I don’t like many members of the species) having a conversation, and to have Noam talk about his friend as well as my personal hero Howard Zinn just brought tears of joy to my eyes. Thanks to all of you for being the voices of reason in such an unreasonable world.

Noam Chomsky: A towering intellectual of the 20th and 21st centuries.

So GOOD to see Norm! Thanks, Chris, for bringing him on! Chris and Norm are two most awesome white men who don't bite their tongues when its comes to How Bad our Rotten and corrupt government IS!

GREAT INTERVIEW -- love seeing two heavy weights, super heavy weights shining the light.

Thank You so much for this amazing interview!

Chris Hedges is speaking at the Sanctuary for Independent Media tonight. I have my tickets

Respect Mr Chomsky very much, thank you from Austria 🍀

I met Howard Zinn once, at the Newton Library. I was in the DVD section, holding a Steven Seagal flick in one hand and, by sheer coincidence, Matt Damon's narration of The People's History in the other. Over my shoulder, someone says: "Go with the Seagal flick. Zinn's a windbag." It was Howard, and his self-effacing humor. I miss him forever.

Noam has written extensively on various subjects that remain relevant at all times. He will continue to educate and enlighten many generations yet unborn. Thank you Noam, and thank you Chris, for educating the enlightened world.

Chris Hedges and Noam Chomsky -- two of the finest men humanity has ever produced.

Thank you Chris Hedges for this informative Noam Chomsky interview😊

Great interview

Thanks Mr. Hedges and Mr. Chomsky!

Good interview 👍 Only the other day I saw a book on Amazon critical of Howard Zinn, the book claimed Zinn distorted history, confused me because I really liked his book. Glad after positive reviews I took a look at the negative. The interview helps me understand better, it's mostly liberals who attack him. Thank you Chris.

it's socrates & plato right here (2 legendary intellectuals)

Chomsky's wisdom goes far beyond the divisions of left and right.

Love Chomsky and love Chris Hedges

That quote by the GREAT Edward Said at the beginning was so perfectly stated and spot on! Miss Edward....

Noam is one of the greatest humans ever not just because of his non-pareil brilliance and amazing range of information but primarily because of his uncompromising integrity, profundity of fellow-feeling, implacable commitment to fight injustice and aggression, and modesty

Chris ; as brilliant as he is, I’m sure he’s still in awe of Noam’s retrospection of these important historical events . Noam’s still as sharp as a whipped sniper . This has been a pleasure , thanks so much Gentlemen: I’m waiting with bated breath for part 2.

Thank goodness for Chris & Noam ... at least two sane 'folks' left in our world!

Said I’d NEVER watch anything with Noam again after his insane and unhinged statement on how the un jabbed should be treated but I trust and respect Chris enough to watch this one.

Noam Chomsky, among others, has helped me understand that I am a citizen of the American empire. His point seems to be that human empires would like to think they have their distinctive virtues, but they do not. I had to chuckle at his comment that he will not be interviewed by NPR, but he did not give a particular reason for that. Would it have anything to do with the length of his monologues? Which is also to say that RU-vid and forums such as the Chris Hedges Report, provide a wider audience access to presentations that can go to the necessary length to establish sound arguments. For that I am grateful to both of these gentlemen. I will say I drew hope for the American empire that it appears that both of these men were speaking from some place of relative safety within America, that they were not speaking from prison, nor did they pronounce their intention to leave the jurisdiction of the empire. Enjoy the peace?

wow these are two of my favorite people!!

I love you both. Long live Noam!

Thanks for this.

Thank you

So enlightening

going to save this for later.

Awesome informative thanks

Wow! This interview took place a year ago, and it is so incredibly relevant today!

I love both of these men's I just discovered and subscribed to this channel thank you for this upload bless both of these men's. ❤

One of the thinkers that I still listen to. ❤ u Noam...

Thank You!

Great conversation.

Peace is the way forward. At least we should show some respect to each other if we can't show or love. I have met people from all over the world of different colours and races and feel so privileged to have met these people. So struggle to understand why people carry so much indifference to the next man.

Two of my favorite Activists/Revolutionaries in the same title.. Of course I’m going to watch

Anyone else automatically reach for the volume controls when Hedges says "here's Noam?"

I appreciate the work you're doing man. It's hard to get people to care sometimes so I like how well you articulate these ideas and ideals

I ❤NOAM CHOMSKY. I ❤CHRIS HEDGES for their consistency and dedication to truth telling whether anyone in power listens AND OR RESPONDS PROACTIVELY or not. (C) VernonNickersonSchoolcoach 2022. All RIGHTS RESERVED.

Reading Chomsky was an act of rebellion in some circles at my undergrad. Things have gotten so backwards

Manufacturing Consent is the "gold standard" for understanding MSM here.

Intellectuals of the future will envy us, who were able to ask Dr. Chomsky questions.

Awesome 💯👍💪😁♥️

The world's two most intelligent people, period.

Long live Noam Chomsky!!. Embraced Noam as a linguist since the late 60's & evolved & grew with Noam Chomsky and Howard Zin and well as a few other unpopular voices of critical acclaim, all who spoke so eloquently humble, sensible & true to their own words without ego or a soapbox pulpit to spew drivel from. & all being the unsung heroes of my formative years in the late 60's onward to this day. The truth never hurts anyone, that's unless evermore promises of lies feels good & sounds great to those particular anyones. God knows we have been infused, overdosed and over stimulated with lies, deceit, divisiveness and blatantly obscene over- the- top greed ever since Ronald Reagan, the infamous B rated Death Valley Days Hollywood Cowboy & his Screen Guilded Squares entered the pre- Orwellian scene back in 1980 & reigned supreme over those minds who thrived off being pawns of mass deception, worshipping that boot strap cowboy & dear leader of some delusional free world fantasy, before, during and after the long Cold War. Afghanistan broke the Soviets back in the late 1980's and in turn the long Afghanistan & Iraq wars broke the US's exhausted mind and empty pocketbook a decade later , Especially after losing a war/conflict & so much coveted national trea$ure plus active duty military personal (as well as the untold lives of so many Vietnamese civilians) in the Vietnam Conflict just 20 some years before.. And then finally again in Afghanistan where the point was proven to the warmongering world that beyond the shadow of any doubt, Afghanistan is the place where empires have always gone to die. Hopefully with those harsh decades of experiencing long losing streaks the free world may realize that nobody actually wins at war anymore. The calvary is not coming soon and will not be there to save anyone. Despite their geopolitical positions & beliefs China and Russia were once our allies not so long ago. Being raised in the "duck and cover" paranoia era of the 1950's & 60's, where we were told that the Russians and Chinese will invade our country take our hot dogs and hamburgers away and make us eat cold Russian soup and stale bread, or fish heads and rice (on the west coast) was the common threat from the pinko commie fear propaganda machine, a fear infused world that children in my generation had to endure and some even believed.

Remember Attorney , linguist & revolutionary the great Paul Robeson. Robeson was as much an intellectual as Chomsky. The imperialists never touched a hair on Chomsky’s head. Robeson was persecuted & tortured in a tremendous way.

I love your opening blues song.

I will forever mourn the opportunity we had with Jeremy Corbyn.

Gracias par de chingones.

Thank you Noam.. Howard was a good and honest man. 👍 God bless you 🙏

best of america

Noam Chomsky is a master of wisdom.

Way to go Chris.

Can all in left-YT please start educating people about both the: (1) difference between right-authoritarian vs. right-libertarian; & (2) difference between left-authoritarian vs left-libertarian? It’s long overdue. People aren’t cattle or sheep: They will understand if we educate them. Though we need to educate (& learn) about all the nuance.

Manufacturing Consent was on my media studies syllabus in 1993.

It would be interesting to see Professor Chomsky's take on "rewriting history" as it seems to happen almost daily in Ukraine about the day before. Even deleting tweets or burying them could be considered a rewrite of sort.

the smartest, most honest person on the planet!

It should be mandatory that every American listen with both ears open to this absolutely brilliant and peaceful man. I found him just a few years ago. Everything he says is factual. Some don't like it. Most dont like it. Thats why the stupid corrupt system will never change. Strides have been made. But I won't live to see a peaceful world. Sad

The man who wrote manufacturing consent , now manufactures consent for big pharma😂

So GREAT this man. His great IDEA FREE WILL is simple, II admire. but perhaps we need to learn more

The love of truth and the truth of love. My two superheroes in one place. Thank you ❤ I love you both

Well said!
