In a wide-ranging discussion, Noam Chomsky and Chris Hedges discuss the war in Ukraine, the rising tide of global fascism, the climate catastrophe, and the role left to public intellectuals in an increasingly restrictive and censored media environment.

Noam Chomsky is the author of more than 150 books on topics that include linguistics, the press, the inner workings of empire, and the war industry.

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.

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.

[Sotangy]

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

[rioyoman]

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

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.

[bozidarsicel]

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.

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.

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.

[christianeribeiro]

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

[elizabethblakley]

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

[strezztechnoid]

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.

[patsteele]

Thank you, Chris. Respectful listening, thoughtful questions.

[DBEdwards]

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.
