The Chris Hedges Report: Pink Floyd's Roger Waters on Ukraine, Palestine, music & more 

Hello from the Navajo Nation, We Indigenous people that were at Standing Rock fighting environmental exploitation and corporate greed appreciate that you dedicate a song to our cause. Thank You Mr. Waters and Chris Hedges as well for speaking up for Indigenous rights. looking forward to your show Oct 3 in Phoenix. Been a fan of Pink Floyd for years.

Two legends together. Thank you!!! 🤓

Two of my favourite people in the world, Chris Hedges and Roger Waters together? Such a treat! Thank you both for all you do! You are such an inspiration and a great source of solace in these dark times we're living in.

One brave man who speaks his truth. I have every respect for Roger Waters.

“This is not a Drill” is a brilliant show. Hedges and Waters are powerhouses of critical dissent.

Two people I greatly admire in conversation, lovely. Thank you.

Can't believe Roger is in his 80th year... 80! The guy is vital, full of energy and an icon. God bless you Roger.. The world needs your voice.

Thank you both so much. I was born in 1970. I have listened to - The Wall- just now and I am getting chills by thinking how history truly repeats itself continuously and how short people’s memory is. Thank you both for being who you are. Never stop.You give me hope!😢

Thank you, Chris and TRNN, for continuing to bring forth the truth tellers about the most crucial issues of our time.

such an honor to see the ultimate artist in my life these days on the programs I love and see and hear he is on our side the common people, Roger Waters is such a an awesome living legend. Thank you Chris for having him on.

I'm nearly 67 years young..been a rocker for virtually 55 of it..since hearing the very first rock..then I discovered Pink Floyd,Led Zeppelin and others..and grew in mind and thinking.Now I own over 1000 CD's..most heavy rock..all of Pink Floyd's albums..love this giant speaking here..since I first saw a video of The Wall. Long live Roger Waters and the legacy of his music..

Watching it for the third time and just as emotional as the first time...thanks a thousand times Chris and Roger. A relief in such painful times!

What an utterly fantastic interview! Just went to his show the other day, and I was moved to tears several times. Roger’s message is so powerful, and I am so glad that humanity, with all of its faults, includes this amazing man.

This is not a Drill had me in constant tears. It’s about a wise 79-year-old shaman telling important stories, teachings and lessons about life. The show is moving, compelling and should not be missed.

What a brilliant interview!! Much respect for Roger!

Can you imagine how many countless of millions of minds this man has touched and opened. How many fans of him have passed away, and how many new fans are going to carry his absolutely 💯 perfect work. Think I've shed a 😢 writing this.

My god, whenever I get filled with rubbish from main stream media , these guys and others like them give me comfort and peace to realise that we are not all corrupt, and there is still hope for humans

Listening to this amazing musician and intellectual and then reading all those idiotic comments full of hatred on his Facebook page last few weeks, simply realize that he is like a candle in the darkness. So happy that saw him live. No matter how much I like the other three, Pink Floyd would not have been what became without this amazing man.

Such a privilege to be able to see a conversation between two superstars on their own fields. Thanks to both of you to keeping us with the perspective that there is decency and higher values and hopes for the people and the planet.

Very moving conversation from you both. Thank you!❤❤❤

Thank you it’s always a pleasure to listen to Roger or Chris,two of the most human people on this short on time planet. Share the wealth save humanity 🌏🌎🌍

Just caught his amazing & moving show here in L.A. - I laughed, I cried, I screamed with joy, I raised my middle finger in the air, I listened to some awesome music and I drank some whiskey at "the bar" with an icon. As always, much love and respect - in solidarity ✊🏽

Thank you RNN and #chrishedges for this gift. Awesome job, both of you. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Unbelievable to think of this genius being born in 1943 when seeing him being so full of energy explaining things important to him ... Thank you so much Roger Waters. It was a Pink Floyd album which was the first vinyl album i bought in the early eighties of last century. Was there in Berlin. Love you.

Much thanks to both of you for your great work.

what an absolute treat to be able to hear Roger speak in real time about the issues of the day, when his music for many of us was the introduction to anti-establishment thought... thanks Chris, thanks real news, awesome content!

Two of my favorite humans! Roger Waters and Chris Hedges!

I am 52 and since 14 years old listening to Roger Waters lyrics of the songs that he has written I always saw that I shared his mind. I just started listening to him now thanks to social media platforms, it blows my mind how synced we are. Roger, I tattooed a bleeding heart on my leg because I understood that we must make our stand. ❤

I remember listening to Pink Floyd as a teenager and loving their music and now in my later years I love him and what he stands for.......

What a moving fantastic interview!

What a wonderful human being... Thank you for all of your work, efforts and unlimited courage. One of the few true rockers left. Endless love and respect. 🤞🙏❤️❤️❤️🍀🍀🍀

What a tremendous privilage it is to hear these two amazing men in conversation.

Hi Chris! I am a life long jazz musician and never paid too much attention to Roger. But man...I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this interview. I had no idea about any of his background and what a great human being he is. Those of us in the music world who try to let people know about the reality of things really risk our careers and sometimes a lot more. I have traveled internationally for the last 2 decades and can tell you...I am ashamed many times when i have to take out my US passport. People look at me with HATE many times i tell you! I have lost many friends for touring in China! It is truly unreal how much ignorance there is. So now I mostly just play and get out to the next gig to continue my life, but....Its super tiring dealing with this as a musician and trying to even let people into my mind, to know my opinion about war and what the US does in this world! I am grateful to you in so many ways. I have watched you for a long time now, just to keep my mind in peace knowing that not everyone is totally corrupt and brainwashed. This interview gave me another reason to be at peace in the world and have a little more healing from the battles. My family has a long history of activism as well. My cousins were tortured in South America. Jailed. My uncle's persecuted by government police and military for going to Cuba back in the 70's and etc etc. So you can imagine why I listen to you. Not from anger...but from a place where I can find peace in my heart. To deal with the condition we find ourselves in. And to know I am not alone. Thank you again. And many big hugs. P

It’s really fulfilling to be able to attend a conversation between two of the coolest and bravest. Such a privilege 🙏🏽

Such a great respect for this two lads. Chris and Roger I salute you!

I wish I was there and could hug both men for dedicating their lives to humanity. I grew up in Iran listening to pink floyd. 💗 I didn't understand the songs because I didn't speak English but it was clear that the there is an important message embedded in the music. Thank you Chris and Roger for making the world 🌎 worth while living for.

Greetings from UK, a disenfranchised citizen who stands by Russia 🇷🇺

Roger Waters is an absolute hero! Chris - thank you so much for having him on! Amazing legend ❤

Three are some interviews/discussions that give so much beauty & empathy....thank you Chris & Roger.

Thank you beautiful souls! You are what the world needs more of right now! Bless you

To see Roger on the edge of tears should cause anyone to feel more than they had before. I love that these two hold each other in such high regard.

The more I listen to Roger Waters the more I love him.

I love Roger’s use of language.

Incredible. Especially you, Chris, allowing Roger to speak full thoughts [even those that occasionally went off-road], but giving minor input and prompts as needed. And rarely. Great job.

Roger is a great person. He could have stepped away and said nothing. Money does not drive him, Love does.

My greatest hero and inspiration, as an artist and as a wonderful human being. Love you Roger ❤

Chris Hedges! Amazing! And with Roger Waters! Just a great piece!

You two gentlemen have a lot in common, especially how candid direct and impassioned in each of your ways that you speak hard truth to our current power structure. I saw Rodger and Philadelphia a couple months ago and I always listen to your podcast Chris. Excellent interview

I am so grateful not all musicians have sold out. Thank you Roger. You are such a nice human being

Great work, Chris and RNN. Aside from being a one-man political force, Roger is a fine artist and poet and a true gentleman, as we saw, for example in his keenness to point out that Rick Wright composed the music to "Us and Them."

I loved Pink Floyd from the 60s to my 60s. Roger's politics and music are so honest and refreshing.

excellent interview and guest. Roger Waters is fantastic !

So incredibly refreshing to see a famous accomplished artist being appalled to this extent. I think I am insane thinking like this. Thanks for making me feel that I may not be crazy😢

Mr Waters knowledge, thinking, understanding, empathy , political views are totally amazing. I can not wait to see this boss man next year. It's gunna be such a long time. 😩

Pink Floyd has always been my favorite band!!!

I love this interview! You both have brought so much light and truth to the world! Don’t ever stop, and thank you! ❤

I am so glad I attended Roger Waters's concert in Atlanta, GA earlier this year. So intense and thought-provoking. Great discussion with Chris Hedges. Two of my favorite progressive voices: Chris Hedges and Roger Waters. What you see is what you get, no matter how inconvenient.

A Fantastic, deep interview thank you Mr Hedges.

Unbeknownst to Roger Waters, he's earned a glowing medal in the hearts of many. One day we'll see it!

Incredible. The founder of some of the most iconic music of a century speaks so eloquently and compassionately, for we the people, truly inspiring.

This is how you conduct an interview. Notice how Roger was completely engaged. Genius.

I'd listen to Roger for days and days, never getting tired. The beautiful voice of a beautiful soul.

Очень крутой, открытый, вечный мужик!!! Как же повезло что я живу с ним в одно время!

love how he gives Richard Wright credit by writing one of the greatest songs of all time.

Two people who remind us that our species has not yet gone entirely mad.

Thank you both for such a fantastic and professional interview! What a pleasure to see and hear Roger sharing his thoughts, experiences and ideas with us!!! Extraordinary man, extraordinary person and extraordinary human in spite of all staying true to his principles! God bless you Roger! See you in Hamburg ❤!

Fantastic piece, thank you to both of you and please, please keep fighting with your words and music.

Roger’s integrity and compassion are unmatched. Stay safe, thanks for doing what you do ❤

What an excellent credit to humanity those two gentlemen are.

Amazing interview! It's always a pleasure to hear from Roger Waters! Thank you Chris! A hug from Portugal!

Great man, great music, someone who never sold his soul and believes!!!

I love listening to you two. I have followed world politics for 4 decades and you two totally resonate with what I feel. I feel vindicated. Interesting to know that all my friends around me are not engaged at all. From NZ

What a beautiful human being Roger Waters is. We need more people like him.

Loved this interview, both of you are legends

much love and admiration to roger, for the recognition of his long artistic career and congruence with the transcendental values of life...thank you chris for bringing him closer to your public

Much respect to Mr. Waters. I don't know his music but as a man he's a credit to humanity. ☮️

I got welled up with emotions hearing Roger express his emotions, he and pink floyd have influenced multiple generations with their gift of music, I think I was 7 the 1st time I heard pink floyd, 1976, and ever since. God Bless You Roger Waters

I’m not a Pink Floyd fan musically by any stretch, but Waters words do resonate with me, very much. thank you, Chris.

Thank you Chris!

I am filled with gratitude and awe for Roger Waters's unparalleled artistry and his deep empathetic humanity, as reflected in his brilliant, innovative music and his profound, relevant, philosophical and timeless lyrics.

Roger Waters is 100% precise with his understanding of the situation! I love Roger Waters! So admirable! He is clear minded, if only many more listen to his message, great interview

What an excellent interview, during which I have chosen to venture to South America to see Roger Waters Tour live.

I love this interview!! The creative Roger Waters chatting with a really humble and intelligent journalist, Chris Hedges.

Really scary but oddly comforting to know at least a few people know what’s going on in this world

I saw the current show twice and The Bar is a beautiful piece of music that I hope he releases soon! Rog is a wonderful human and not too shabby musician as well….😉

Thanks! It was a pleasure to listen to this discussion

Thanks for this C.H.and R.W. 👍👍👍👍

Been to hundreds of concerts going back to the Beatles, Hendrix, Who, LedZep .... "This Is Not a Drill" was hands down the most eye popping and meaningful! Great Interview!

I was in Israel in1968 after the six day war, and witnessed the clearing of a Bedoin market in Beersheba. Mainly with young soldiers not much older than me. Their callous, cruel behavior drove a stake in my heart. It was like footage I had seen of the clearing of the ghettoes. When I returned home in London, I argued with my mother. (a Rumanian holocaust survivor) and ended up leaving home on my 18th birthday, early in the morning. Israel separated us forever, to my eternal regret. But the lesson here from my own experience was that we pass on our traumas to the next generation, and that is why the strife continues. Lets face it, Israelis have taken the mantle of revengeful oppression with gusto, and modern efficiency...

Roger Waters - what a great musician and great soul! Got tickets for the upcoming Budapest concert in April, can't wait to be there!

As always, TRNN and Chris Hedges hit another homerun. Thanks!

Big thumbs up to Chris Hedges for this wonderful and a great interview!

One of the most profound and deep interviews I have ever seen - you are both heroes of progressive politics

Good lord, 2 amazing minds. Fantastic interview

Thank you for this interview. I value your commitment to world peace, equality and fairness. Its nice to see you thank your staff at the end too.

I could have listened to you guys for hours. thank you both

Thankyou Chris for this interview; and Roger for the observation "there is only one road"

You are a wonderful human being.

With every day my respect for Rodger grows. It actually parallels my thoughts about Chris too.

🙏 Two of the most revered men I’ve listened to. 😊❤️❤️✌️✌️
