Us and Them is the difference between normal people and midgets! Watch 'The Dark Side Of The Rainbow'!!! After all, we're only ordinary men (at the point the lolipop guild made up of GROWN MEN) appear on screen!
Every generation blames the one before and all their frustrations come beating on your door. The disintegration we see today started long before Donald J Trump.
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.
I once literally bumped into Roger in Manhattan when I was rushing to a dinner with my ex wife. My marriage was circling the drain and I was really stressed out and wasn’t paying attention. Roger was very gracious and I’ll never forget that. It was such a surreal moment.
There's some irony in a Brit making that comment about America when England was such a colonial war machine in recent history. It would be cool if we'd all grow up soon. To be fair, I'm pretty sure he's saying the same thing.
@@BrianR.-nu1sr What has he corrupted? Have you taken an honest look at what the people on the other side are doing? If you'd like me to educate you I will , if you're genuinely willing to learn. I'd recommend learning about the Steele Dossier for starters.
@@BrianPremo - Oh, do "educate" me about the Steele Dossier. Are you going to "educate" me about the origins of that investigation? My guess is that your information comes solely form right wing moron websites that ignore the fact that the Steele Dossier was a a byproduct of an investigation that was contracted by a conservative PAC that was trying to prevent Donald Trump from winning the Republican nomination. But please do "educate" us all with your vast political wisdom. Once you are finished, I will post an article published in Forbes Magazine that will refute every one of your tinfoil hat claims. Here's a clue to get you going in the direction of facts: Paul Manafort, suspicious foreign real estate transactions, Russian money laundering.
Brian R. You’re about as brain dead as this washed up drug infested burnt out hippie talking on this video...ur pretty much just parroting the cnn msnbc talking points...what a fool!!!
I don't even agree with the majority of British Commentators I see, but I've got to say that they seem to run their shows much better than the MSM in the USA. Any CNN show these days.... the O'Reilly Factor.... ugh....
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.
Roger thinks it's his place to have or have not empathy for the screwed masses. Thanks for nothing Roger. Amazing your band-members were able to put up with you for as long as they did.
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
Yep, just like the rest the harp on about how peaceful they are and accepting yet they band together to hate and pity those who voted for Trump. And now that the Demoncrats are in power they have upheld the vast majority of his policies! And also imprisoned thousands upon thousands more illegal immigrants! And when asked that cunt bitch just laughs and as usual the media does not make a thing of it...but swap her with a republican and there would be an impeachment somewhere!
As I muddle through existence with my blue collar job, my very nice car, my adequate residence, no debt, creature comforts available, I don't accept Roger's assertion that I voted for Trump out of desperation. You can keep your empathy, I'm not having any of it.

Waters was "spot on" talking about "being thrown out of college" for "asking questions". I had been made fun of, mocked and put in seperate classes simply because I asked questions of things that didn't make sense to me from what I had learned up to that point and because I "processed things differently then most students". In public schools it's like "stop asking questions, its this way just because it is."
@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.
@Debra Charles Ya but only if you didn't understand what they where teaching if you had a different view you where corrected to follow the book and get back in line and we had to If we wanted the grade
I came from a poor background where the economy was going to shit, and people used to have no hope. Now, when I visit my home state, people are optimistic. The economy has improved. Jobs are coming back. Mr. Waters, you'll forever have my respect, but you don't live in the real world, man.
Don't try explaining that to the brainless liberals. They are unable to reason logically or have a meaningful conversation. Their brains are being eaten away by Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trying to hold a meaningful debate or conversation with a liberal is just like trying to hold a meaningful debate or conversation with the Democrat mascot--A JACKASS!!!

There are those who are purely there for the music, and never think about what the content of the song is.. And when they suddenly realize they disagree with the person who's behind the music they enjoy, they're very dissatisfied and throws a tantrum..
I am the polar opposite of Waters politics. But I respect any man who is true to their convictions. And I love his music even though I may not agree with him.
I've just got into watching Skavlan and his interviews, this guy has interviewed them all, so many famous people. He comes across as a very soft gentle interviewer and you can tell he is very much respected by those who he interviews. So nice to see him allow his guests to talk and the shows have a very nice vibe. Great shows!
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. In fact, I’d bet that celebrities who have access to the most exclusive parts and opportunities of the world have a lot more validity than the average Joe working man who only has access to the internet and his local bar.
@@canttakeanymore the left rioting over BLM and protesting KIDS in Cages seem to all be over now that Trump is out of office? Was the lefts agendas fixed or don't they care all of a sudden?
I enjoy their music. Aside from that, I dont give a rat's (....) what he or any other celebrity thinks politically. I'm an American. I grew up here. I like most other Americans have traditional values. We each have a brain. Use it. Think for yourself.
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.

Crazed TDS anger for no reason. Compare the current admin to Trump, looks to me like the real fascists are in control now. Everything they falsely blamed on Trump, they are actually doing themselves.
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. Crazy days indeed.

Waters meets up a lot with Sean Penn, so it's not as if his politics aren't well known. Waters said the Falklands should belong to Argentina, for example, so he's on the left of the political spectrum. Trump's election was essentially North Americans telling the world they're fed up of career politicians. I can't say I blame them.
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.
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.
Back in 2017 he was dissing Trump in his concert. Total hypocrite. He's got another tour scheduled so he's politicking. I went to see a concert, not to hear his political views.
So he's been "dissing trump" (interesting terminology that implies that trump is due some kind of special-snowflake protection against being "disrespected")? The most vindictive and openly pernicious president that's ever stepped foot in the Oval Office, who as an entertainer constantly lambasted presidents and governments and marginalized people from the penthouse atop his own Manhattan high rise.

1:34 "Whether something transcendental has to happen in our lives before we can join the human race and start empathizing with everyone else ... " Roger Waters shows you don't need an epiphany to start your journey toward a life of compassion and empathy.
When I used to go to concerts and I went to a ton! I paid around 10- 20 bucks a ticket! I once saw The Who b-52’s and Joan Jett and the black hearts for 17.50! The b-52’s were half thrown off the stage!
Do you know anything about how concerts work? 99% of the time it is never the bands decision on how much a ticket will be. Its the venues who do that. And iv already seen roger once in concert, and i would pay 10 thousand dollars for nosebleed seats just to see him again. 💯

Maybe there are some who don't have much but lots of them are also filthy rich.

Mabey a musician, but he is speaking with knowledge again . People like me are learning when he speaks. I’m grateful for roger waters music and humanitarian efforts , as he always was. The music was the message from way back and now the members of Pink Floyd have been a great gift for us all
It's funny how they edited the rest of Roger's speech regarding the lack of an American dream right after he spoke of "sleeping in a shell of a car in the forrest..." Pretty slick.
I was always a Pink Floyd fan and experiencing Roger Waters as he is today is so uplifting. I love his straight forward simple wisdom. His concert a few weeks ago here in Copenhagen was amazing. 💖
While I appreciate everyone's opinions, it's so hard to listen to someone while appreciating where they stand while voicing their opinion.. in his case a multi multi multi millionaire... talk to an iron worker or a coal worker from Ohio or West Virginia ...Talk to a single mother who works in a diner and is barely making ends meet ...The last person I want to hear from About the government and its right and wrong doings is someone who's collecting commas in their bank account ..because most of us aren't
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.
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...

Ryan Santos Close intelligence and intent are two different things. Politics and law are not black and white. What determines intelligence is the logic and reasoning behind selecting which grey is best for you. For example, a farmer voting for a democrat who ran on a platform of agricultural regulation doesn't make much sense, does it? Refusing to even contemplate or rationalise others choices you disagree with by brushing them off as inferior is a sign of low empathy and warrants its own questioning of intelligence.
I liked what the historian on the panel said, that maybe people who voted for Trump know something about this country that the Dems don't fully understand.
Daisy Jane Everyone always understands at least something we don't. We should listen to learn. Ask questions and listen. What do you think this understanding is?
This will not be a popular answer, but as a lifelong (and still registered as) Democrat who voted for Trump, my personal belief is that the open borders agenda is deeply flawed and needs correction. I voted for the policy, not the man himself if that makes sense.
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.

This interview was done in 2017, since then Pres Trump has done much for the American people. I wonder how Waters feels now about us Trump supporters. We knew he was the right person for the job at this time in our nation.
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.

Time has proven those of us who questioned the COVID Narrative to be correct..
2 years too late, but i'll comment anyway. Roger, one of, if not, my favorite artist of all time, is dead wrong about many things. First and foremost, we in the US do NOT think war is O.K. Most of us are sick of war, sick of war mongers. Trump shows tremendous disdain for war. If you listen to him when he talks Russia, N.Korea, if you listen to him on Iraq. He plainly states he doesn't want war. It's why he is talking to kim jong un, it's why he wants to have meetings with Iran, it's why he pulled back from bombing Iran after they hit our drone. It's why he calls for pulling troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq. It's why he fired Bolton. And we all don't THINK we are only fighting terrorism. We know oil is a major motivation. We know that nation building is a motivation. We know that installing "friendly" leaders is a motivation. He is assuming too much. Especially that all Americans are stupid. Second, the American dream is still here. We are not living in "shells of cars" deep in the forest. That was just stupid of him to say. Also stupid of him to say is Trump voters have "nothing". One thing he did say that was correct is many of us do feel defeated. In many ways.
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.
Roger was / is a poet. Not really a political commentator, more an existential observer. I listened to the Final Cut today and the lyrics about the U.K. around the time of the Falklands conflict and Thatcher’s incumbency stand the test of time and still reflect society’s paranoia and fears in the 80s perfectly. When the album was produced, Gilmour and the band were getting tired of Roger’s anger and wanted to progress but felt they were stifled which lead to the breakup. Taken as art, there’s nothing hypocritical in the Waters’ albums. In the same way Barrett’s albums are works of genius in their own right, Animals, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, The Wall - all fantastic pieces of musical production which need to be assessed on there own merits. Ultimately, Floyd were victims of their own successes and as individuals have tried to pay back what they think they owe to society e.g. Gilmour’s guitar auction and the proceeds going to charity and royalties for album sales being paid to Syd Barret while he was alive. Their hearts are in the right places but politics has changed so much since they were creating ‘concept’ albums. Polarisation of wealth is more pronounced now than the 70s / 80s, the music industry is unrecognisable. Everything has changed. We need to appreciate Pink Floyd’s recorded output for the immense musical soundscapes it created over time, the incredible lyrics and themes that resonate with listeners today, and how enigmatic appearances from Waters, Gilmour in interviews now, years after, just add to the enigma. There’s no point overanalysing any of it. Value it for what it is (or isn’t) and honour their freedom of speech today as it was in the day - make your own meanings but don’t accept anything as a truth - it’s art after all.
I mean judging from his recent interviews he is clearly a leftist, he has an empathetic worldview and is anti-imperialist. Leftists (progressives) want everyone to prosper. Conservatives are just victims of their conditions and deserve a life of dignity as well.
@@miamdwaIn my experience, leftist progressives are a group of extremely intolerant people. It's either their way or they will try to shame you into submission. Many feel entitled and display a rather childish view of the world. Many live partially in a fantasy concept of life and often struggle with understanding reality with clarity. Although misguided as they may be, most have a good heart. They do mean well.
@@Redandranger Everyone is a victim of their condition. Your environment and experiences shape your worldview. So conservatives are morally reprehensible, but it's not their fault in the grand scheme of things.
5:27 i like how he stops talking when every1 starts applauding...their not applauding because they thought you finished what you had to say, their applauding because you said something good...but please do continue
Ironically I have owned big houses and nice cars. I now live in an RV on a piece of bare land. I do have to say though, I am glad I have experienced the difference.
Both are pretty interesting... except politics - they are both as dull as each other then...

Disgusting thugs.
Exactly he has empathy. Coming from the pathetic lefty that he is. Empathy as he sue's his bandmates for the rights to the music. Empathy as he fired Syd and stole his band. He can stick his empathy up his leftist commie ass. Does that clear it up for everyone. I don't need no rich limey lefty telling the poor underclass how to think or feel.1776 Rog 1776
What a rebel! Little middle class boy asking questions at University. Oh how brave. If you’re in University you’re not a rebel. Sycophantic behaviour from the presenter is sickening. Kim Catrall almost wretched when he said “I think thats a great answer”. The myth that only homeless people living in their cars voted for Trump is reflective of their condescension.
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 💵💵💵💵🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤡🤡🤡🇺🇸🤡🤡🇺🇸🤡🤡🇺🇸🤡🤡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👸🏻👸🏻🇺🇸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏💩💩💩💩💩🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🤡🤡🤡🤡
"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.
If he wins, it's unlikely to be by a landslide. He hasn't added new supporters and he has to hold on to the Obama voters that put him over the top in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. He has the economy on his side, but not healthcare. I think the Dems will run heavily on healthcare like they did in the midterms. I have no idea how it will turn out but it won't be a landslide in either direction.
@@PoetryZound "He hasn't added any new supporters" I suggest you look up Blexit. Guys like ABL, Jericho Greene, Kevins Corner, Mind of Jamal, Mikenificent, BCP, Tommy Sotomayor, Uncle Hotep and Conservative Twins. (That's just to get you started on his black supporters). You only see what the Media tells you to see.
Unfortunately they are governed by their feelings. They mean well, clearly, but this is what happens when you live at the top of the first world your entire life. Reality is so foreign to them.
@@briefcaseblues6061 Anecdotes about a handful of people don't represent a trend. Studies show there's a drop-off in support from the Obama-to-Trump voters, and and no studies have found a net increase in new Trump supporters. Your handful of people are statistically insignificant. Trump's approval rating hasn't increased beyond 42%. But I suppose anything can happen.
A key to success is being able to differentiate between the dance and the dancer. So many people are obsessed with Trump's personality that they can't see all the good things he did for America. Interestingly, Trump has admitted as much in recent interviews.
^ this Trump is only evil to the people who want to rule as elites, the rest of Trump haters, have been bombarded with manipulative media ideas that Trump is a Nazi White Supremacist when it's ACTUALLY the Democratic Party (ironic title) or what it has become, that wants to rule and knock out the middle class. Right Wing politics raises middle class thru focusing on work ethics and diligent frugal and accountable government spending. Also allowing free speech and people to contest them. Hardly an indication of Nazi policies - Righ Wing Politics is the OPPOSITE of Nazi fascism. Always has been since America's beginning, all the way thru 2 world wars.
@@bobbybeast1000 Well put! If those on the left would step out of their bubble for 10 seconds they would see that it is not the right who are demanding speech be curtailed, it is not the right who are demanding allegiance to an ideology.....and my favorite of all, those on the left who after the 2020 election said, "We got rid of the dictator!!" They might want to look up the definition of "dictator." (HINT for LEFTIES: You can't vote out a dictator!)
It's fine to ask questions, it's not fine to get violent or threaten others with violence because of disagreements. Those who mean harm because they don't get their way, is unacceptable and my tolerance for those people is zero. Violence breeds more violence, forgiveness and compassion keep us civil and we're a civil society.
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.

@Victor Alexander We are. There is today not a single existing human group that cannot procreate with another existing human group producing viable and fertile offspring. That is a scientific definition of species.
@Victor Alexander It’s true. The ability to interbreed with viability is the definition. My anthropology teacher noted that even Inuits and Sub-Saharan Pygmys, being of the same species, can interbreed however far apart their bloodlines. It is, though, dangerous for the Pygmy mother because Inuits present a rather high birth-weight..and this did in fact happen on at least one occasion.

I felt empathy for waters when he went solo, couldn't fill 6,000 seat arena's, drawing a mere 2,000 crowd numbers while the other three Pink Floyd members were filling 60,000 capacity stadiums.
I like Roger Waters music/shows/production very much I last watched him and the band in Stockholm, Sweden 2002 and it was very good, but for me the problem is that I miss David Gilmour's guitar playing more than Roger Waters bass and voice, but you can say you have won two different productions of superb music.

It is depressing to see all of the people in the comments who are attacking Roger Waters because of his liberal views. These same people meanwhile claim to "love" the music of Pink Floyd and other rock musicians of the '60's and '70's. Hate to break it to you all but, rock was created as an expression AGAINST CONSERVATIVE VALUES that dominated the mainstream in the fifties and early sixties. Rock music inherently promotes liberal ideas from legalization of drugs to racial equality to rejection of authority. So why were people expecting these rock musicians, like Waters, to be conservative? It is an utter shame to see those 'rebels' who enjoy the music of Pink Floyd, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, and the Rolling Stones, fall in line with the conservative views of Donald Trump.
Richard DeCredico people like you are rude for no reason this is why America is divided your so close minded you think you have to lash out and hate someone for different views then your own clearly you need to look at how your living and change a few things wish you the best brother
Ditto... I practically worshipped Pink Floyd in college... It's a pretty simple equation for me on the voting for Trump vs. Hillary... One is a lying, cheating, self-dealing, proven mass murderer... The other is Trump. I've barely had time to reflect on his performance as I've been so busy defending him from the dishonestly fabricated charges of the unelected, unaccountable, parasitic "patriots" so busy "resisting" him and attempting to bring him down with absurd charges like the Russia-Collusion Delusion and now Ukraine-gate...

I do hope that people realise what they're missing as you suggest, but when I see the damage done by the Biden administration in such a short time, I'm not very hopeful for the future. I hope that President Trump runs for office again, but I won't blame him if he chooses not to as he was the most maligned and undermined President in US history.
Or maybe as an artist you think your fans should value your millionaire opinions on how they should live their 9/5 lives, because well, of course celebrities know more than you ever will about life.
??? You can have empathy for anyone, matter how they're doing. It just means you can try to understand how they feel. So if they feel good, bad, whatever, you can still have empathy.
Yay real news, lowest unemployment in history, lowest wage workers seeing highest gains. Never mind communist compromised news network's obvious lies. Trump is patriot. Not guilty. That blew their "collective' mind.
I grew up with Roger Waters,.. he mentioned the age of 15, Pink Floyd litterally formed me that time from 13-15 thinking they were the COOLEST band on earth, and they where and still having friends who listen to them on daily bases, but already at 16 my taste progressed and evolved to the next level of existential music,.. Oxygene, Vangelis, Silk road,.. But I always felt they where "my generation" and I´m happy Roger has the same opinion like me about Ukraina ; )
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.
I agree #KirG. As I read these anti trump remarks along with the thoughts of Waters almost every one of them has and the individual who wrote them a disdain toward Christianity. Waters, if you have listened to him on enough topics is vehemently anti Christian. ((It was not but a few months ago, our first lady presented a woman with serious mental and moral issues with a set of books about Dr Seuss. The self righteous teacher declined the books and went on several rampages about Dr Seuss being racial, dated..... But what no one here knows: Two years prior to that then first lady MRs obama was seen reading Dr Seuss books to children on a promo for getting kids to read. Go ahead, explain to me why that "teacher" at Halloween that year after seeing Mrs. Obama reading Dr Seuss was DRESSED as DR SASS for HALLOWEEN!!! ))) I define a Christian as the Holy Bible, the words of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit state. Moreover, it is interesting that the British have to come on an American created platform/website to protest their thoughts about America and the president of America: Donald J Trump. And then to top it off they have the lack of intelligence, emotions fueled by hate and lack of Wisdom to tell US Americans to to leave OUR own platform in which they are "trashing:" OUR president. The fact is Waters and the "herd" mentality of people who follow him do not even know what they are angry about (on the surface). More double standards: Knowledge of Hillary Clinton’s private email server: Within five days of the original disclosure by The New York Times that Clinton had built her own private, unsecured email system, Obama told a national TV audience via CBS News what he always said when a new scandal hit his administration - he found out about it at “the same time everybody else learned it, through news reports.”He was lying, flat out.Subsequent reports months later stated that Obama himself had emailed Clinton via that same server, using an alias. And in fact, former U.S. attorneys believe that’s why Comey elected not to recommend her for prosecution. Hillary couldn’t be prosecuted without Obama being prosecuted as well. So here it goes: Take one issue at a time or name several that you blame Trump for? Is it a wall? President Trump does not want the US to end up like Western Europe. Every country has the right to have physical boundaries!!! It states this is US territory and we as the US prosper and also are responsible for what happens in this country. And yes, after we fill our cup, we will be happy to help others. All these allegations about men molesting women. Well, there you have it. God created human beings to have physical boundaries. "No it is not OK for you to touch me there! Or, No it is not ok for you to put your hands on me to attack me. My body is a physical boundary and it is not your right to violate me!" What can't you understand about a wall, about boundaries, about people violating US law and entering illegally? You don't understand it because Satan has you by the throat. What do you say to the people who are rejected from entering the US due to we are already flooded with immigrants. My father and grandparents came here the legal way and if you need to SNEAK in then there are consequences. Or what do you say to the millions of parents who's children are hooked on drugs due to people from South America sneaking themselves and their drugs in? What do you say to the mother whose son was shot and killed by someone who came here illegally, was allowed to stay after having a "wrap sheet?" What exactly is your problem with Trump. I am sure you can't name the issue and share a logical reason!!! As I hears one young girl say: Those people came here illegally because they needed to create a life where they could survive and support himself financially. Wow! Great logic! So shoplifting, stealing from others should be tolerated as long as the "stealer" is poor and needs money?!!!!! WHAT? "Build bridges not walls" sounds warm and fuzzy but again- what about what the crime, the pain our citizens suffered due to a lack of a physical boundary???? Build bridges...... means that a country does not have a right to have a physical boundary??????!!!!! As a Christian, we should be willing after we fill our own cup to reach out to ALL people regardless of race or religion or gender or and say here, let me do for you since you can not do for yourself. Christianity at it's core is about love and limits!!! Yes Christ was no pushover. He had boundaries or He had limits. Has Trump said some things it would have been more Christlike not to say- probably. Have you? Has not every person who ever walked this earth done the same. I find it interesting, the tolerance for the mistakes of obama and yet when Trump makes a mistake the media is so filled with hate toward him (hating a person, not the act) is a sin they pounce every chance they get!!! Maybe all the Trump haters especially those in other countries need to take a look at himself. Maybe they need to take the log out of their own eye before they want to "fix" Trump or America? I am sure every anti Trump poster here has more than enough flaws in their own lives that if they were to correct would have a lot less negative to say about our president. And never forget Waters you would be speaking German if it was not for The United States Of America!!! No? Who did you come running to when you needed arms to protect yourself from German invasion.
Trump is not the fix. If that is the best there is then we are screwed. He got it because the selection was weak. And as a Catholic I don't see him personally as exhibiting much of any real true Christ like values. I was more of a 50/50 in the election. Not for illegals or progressive agendas, yet not for more vast inequality and rewarding the wealthiest whilst berating the poorer. And as I see it today , because of him America will be poorer longterm in future while top percentile revile in today. Trump is wrong about these and many things. You can not worship him as a savior while categorize everyone as working for satan who sees his fallacies.

"Woody Allen covered it all in his movie "Sleeper", which, like Network, is more relevant now then when it came out"
Big Deal.............................Woody Allen is a nutcase!
Waters was "spot on" talking about "being thrown out of college" for "asking questions". I had been made fun of, mocked and put in seperate classes simply because I asked questions of things that didn't make sense to me from what I had learned up to that point and because I "processed things differently then most students". In public schools it's like "stop asking questions, its this way just because it is."
Free thinkers scare the people in charge.

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.

How can people say they enjoy Waters’ music but don’t give a F about his political discussion? Majority of his music IS politics!
There are those who are purely there for the music, and never think about what the content of the song is..
And when they suddenly realize they disagree with the person who's behind the music they enjoy, they're very dissatisfied and throws a tantrum..

Lmao, you're probably one of the mongoloids who thinks The Wall album was about trump...
I am the polar opposite of Waters politics. But I respect any man who is true to their convictions. And I love his music even though I may not agree with him.
I've just got into watching Skavlan and his interviews, this guy has interviewed them all, so many famous people. He comes across as a very soft gentle interviewer and you can tell he is very much respected by those who he interviews. So nice to see him allow his guests to talk and the shows have a very nice vibe. Great shows!
Famous people shouldn’t be political. They are soo detached from reality that their view on reality is really not very credible.
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.

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.

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.

Waters meets up a lot with Sean Penn, so it's not as if his politics aren't well known. Waters said the Falklands should belong to Argentina, for example, so he's on the left of the political spectrum. Trump's election was essentially North Americans telling the world they're fed up of career politicians. I can't say I blame them.
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.
Back in 2017 he was dissing Trump in his concert. Total hypocrite. He's got another tour scheduled so he's politicking. I went to see a concert, not to hear his political views.

Would love to hear your take on the world under Biden
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...

Empathize, yes. Respect their intelligence. No.
Ryan Santos Close intelligence and intent are two different things. Politics and law are not black and white. What determines intelligence is the logic and reasoning behind selecting which grey is best for you.
For example, a farmer voting for a democrat who ran on a platform of agricultural regulation doesn't make much sense, does it?
Refusing to even contemplate or rationalise others choices you disagree with by brushing them off as inferior is a sign of low empathy and warrants its own questioning of intelligence.
I liked what the historian on the panel said, that maybe people who voted for Trump know something about this country that the Dems don't fully understand.
Daisy Jane Everyone always understands at least something we don't. We should listen to learn. Ask questions and listen.
What do you think this understanding is?
This will not be a popular answer, but as a lifelong (and still registered as) Democrat who voted for Trump, my personal belief is that the open borders agenda is deeply flawed and needs correction. I voted for the policy, not the man himself if that makes sense.

Finally a talk show where Roger is comfortable, the American talk shows really pissed him off, with Conan and Fallon
That is because they are wacky corporate leftists regurgitating a mindless script and agenda that Americans are increasingly hip to, and despise. This is why so few people watch those clown shows, not to mention that left has no understanding of humor, remaining.
This interview was done in 2017, since then Pres Trump has done much for the American people.
I wonder how Waters feels now about us Trump supporters.
We knew he was the right person for the job at this time in our nation.
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",
@@charlesstuart7290 But, "...he was the right person "to" the job at this time..." doesn't make any sense. 😁
I was just wondering the same things. 4 years later. The Untied has gone to shit now the same with Canada
Has Roger Waters spoken up about the COVID situation? Has Waters talked about the loss of Civil Rights with Mandatory Vaccination and COVID Passports?
Should he lol? You act like he's the damn president.

@@Lalo-dh8xq Well that sucks!!!
2 years too late, but i'll comment anyway. Roger, one of, if not, my favorite artist of all time, is dead wrong about many things. First and foremost, we in the US do NOT think war is O.K. Most of us are sick of war, sick of war mongers. Trump shows tremendous disdain for war. If you listen to him when he talks Russia, N.Korea, if you listen to him on Iraq. He plainly states he doesn't want war. It's why he is talking to kim jong un, it's why he wants to have meetings with Iran, it's why he pulled back from bombing Iran after they hit our drone. It's why he calls for pulling troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq. It's why he fired Bolton. And we all don't THINK we are only fighting terrorism. We know oil is a major motivation. We know that nation building is a motivation. We know that installing "friendly" leaders is a motivation. He is assuming too much. Especially that all Americans are stupid. Second, the American dream is still here. We are not living in "shells of cars" deep in the forest. That was just stupid of him to say. Also stupid of him to say is Trump voters have "nothing". One thing he did say that was correct is many of us do feel defeated. In many ways.
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.
Roger was / is a poet. Not really a political commentator, more an existential observer. I listened to the Final Cut today and the lyrics about the U.K. around the time of the Falklands conflict and Thatcher’s incumbency stand the test of time and still reflect society’s paranoia and fears in the 80s perfectly. When the album was produced, Gilmour and the band were getting tired of Roger’s anger and wanted to progress but felt they were stifled which lead to the breakup. Taken as art, there’s nothing hypocritical in the Waters’ albums. In the same way Barrett’s albums are works of genius in their own right, Animals, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, The Wall - all fantastic pieces of musical production which need to be assessed on there own merits. Ultimately, Floyd were victims of their own successes and as individuals have tried to pay back what they think they owe to society e.g. Gilmour’s guitar auction and the proceeds going to charity and royalties for album sales being paid to Syd Barret while he was alive. Their hearts are in the right places but politics has changed so much since they were creating ‘concept’ albums. Polarisation of wealth is more pronounced now than the 70s / 80s, the music industry is unrecognisable. Everything has changed. We need to appreciate Pink Floyd’s recorded output for the immense musical soundscapes it created over time, the incredible lyrics and themes that resonate with listeners today, and how enigmatic appearances from Waters, Gilmour in interviews now, years after, just add to the enigma. There’s no point overanalysing any of it. Value it for what it is (or isn’t) and honour their freedom of speech today as it was in the day - make your own meanings but don’t accept anything as a truth - it’s art after all.
I mean judging from his recent interviews he is clearly a leftist, he has an empathetic worldview and is anti-imperialist.
Leftists (progressives) want everyone to prosper. Conservatives are just victims of their conditions and deserve a life of dignity as well.
@@miamdwaIn my experience, leftist progressives are a group of extremely intolerant people. It's either their way or they will try to shame you into submission.

Although misguided as they may be, most have a good heart. They do mean well.

What a rebel! Little middle class boy asking questions at University. Oh how brave.
If you’re in University you’re not a rebel.
Sycophantic behaviour from the presenter is sickening. Kim Catrall almost wretched when he said “I think thats a great answer”.
The myth that only homeless people living in their cars voted for Trump is reflective of their condescension.
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.

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
Floyd's music flowed through them from a higher dimension,, their personal views don't matter to me...just their incredible music!
And just what will these geniuses think when Trump wins by a landslide in 2020 ???
If he wins, it's unlikely to be by a landslide. He hasn't added new supporters and he has to hold on to the Obama voters that put him over the top in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. He has the economy on his side, but not healthcare. I think the Dems will run heavily on healthcare like they did in the midterms. I have no idea how it will turn out but it won't be a landslide in either direction.
@@PoetryZound "He hasn't added any new supporters"
I suggest you look up Blexit. Guys like ABL, Jericho Greene, Kevins Corner, Mind of Jamal, Mikenificent, BCP, Tommy Sotomayor, Uncle Hotep and Conservative Twins. (That's just to get you started on his black supporters).
You only see what the Media tells you to see.
Unfortunately they are governed by their feelings. They mean well, clearly, but this is what happens when you live at the top of the first world your entire life. Reality is so foreign to them.
@@briefcaseblues6061 Anecdotes about a handful of people don't represent a trend. Studies show there's a drop-off in support from the Obama-to-Trump voters, and and no studies have found a net increase in new Trump supporters. Your handful of people are statistically insignificant. Trump's approval rating hasn't increased beyond 42%. But I suppose anything can happen.
@shane foller Pollsters have supposedly made adjustments since 2016. We'll see how good those adjustments are.
A key to success is being able to differentiate between the dance and the dancer. So many people are obsessed with Trump's personality that they can't see all the good things he did for America. Interestingly, Trump has admitted as much in recent interviews.
yes.
^ this Trump is only evil to the people who want to rule as elites, the rest of Trump haters, have been bombarded with manipulative media ideas that Trump is a Nazi White Supremacist when it's ACTUALLY the Democratic Party (ironic title) or what it has become, that wants to rule and knock out the middle class.
Right Wing politics raises middle class thru focusing on work ethics and diligent frugal and accountable government spending. Also allowing free speech and people to contest them. Hardly an indication of Nazi policies - Righ Wing Politics is the OPPOSITE of Nazi fascism. Always has been since America's beginning, all the way thru 2 world wars.

It's fine to ask questions, it's not fine to get violent or threaten others with violence because of disagreements. Those who mean harm because they don't get their way, is unacceptable and my tolerance for those people is zero. Violence breeds more violence, forgiveness and compassion keep us civil and we're a civil society.
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.

It is depressing to see all of the people in the comments who are attacking Roger Waters because of his liberal views. These same people meanwhile claim to "love" the music of Pink Floyd and other rock musicians of the '60's and '70's. Hate to break it to you all but, rock was created as an expression AGAINST CONSERVATIVE VALUES that dominated the mainstream in the fifties and early sixties. Rock music inherently promotes liberal ideas from legalization of drugs to racial equality to rejection of authority. So why were people expecting these rock musicians, like Waters, to be conservative? It is an utter shame to see those 'rebels' who enjoy the music of Pink Floyd, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, and the Rolling Stones, fall in line with the conservative views of Donald Trump.

I grew up with Roger Waters,.. he mentioned the age of 15, Pink Floyd litterally formed me that time from 13-15 thinking they were the COOLEST band on earth, and they where and still having friends who listen to them on daily bases, but already at 16 my taste progressed and evolved to the next level of existential music,.. Oxygene, Vangelis, Silk road,.. But I always felt they where "my generation" and I´m happy Roger has the same opinion like me about Ukraina ; )
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.

I agree #KirG. As I read these anti trump remarks along with the thoughts of Waters almost every one of them has and the individual who wrote them a disdain toward Christianity. Waters, if you have listened to him on enough topics is vehemently anti Christian. ((It was not but a few months ago, our first lady presented a woman with serious mental and moral issues with a set of books about Dr Seuss. The self righteous teacher declined the books and went on several rampages about Dr Seuss being racial, dated..... But what no one here knows: Two years prior to that then first lady MRs obama was seen reading Dr Seuss books to children on a promo for getting kids to read. Go ahead, explain to me why that "teacher" at Halloween that year after seeing Mrs. Obama reading Dr Seuss was DRESSED as DR SASS for HALLOWEEN!!! ))) I define a Christian as the Holy Bible, the words of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit state. Moreover, it is interesting that the British have to come on an American created platform/website to protest their thoughts about America and the president of America: Donald J Trump. And then to top it off they have the lack of intelligence, emotions fueled by hate and lack of Wisdom to tell US Americans to to leave OUR own platform in which they are "trashing:" OUR president. The fact is Waters and the "herd" mentality of people who follow him do not even know what they are angry about (on the surface). More double standards: Knowledge of Hillary Clinton’s private email server: Within five days of the original disclosure by The New York Times that Clinton had built her own private, unsecured email system, Obama told a national TV audience via CBS News what he always said when a new scandal hit his administration - he found out about it at “the same time everybody else learned it, through news reports.”He was lying, flat out.Subsequent reports months later stated that Obama himself had emailed Clinton via that same server, using an alias. And in fact, former U.S. attorneys believe that’s why Comey elected not to recommend her for prosecution. Hillary couldn’t be prosecuted without Obama being prosecuted as well.
So here it goes: Take one issue at a time or name several that you blame Trump for? Is it a wall? President Trump does not want the US to end up like Western Europe. Every country has the right to have physical boundaries!!! It states this is US territory and we as the US prosper and also are responsible for what happens in this country. And yes, after we fill our cup, we will be happy to help others. All these allegations about men molesting women. Well, there you have it. God created human beings to have physical boundaries. "No it is not OK for you to touch me there! Or, No it is not ok for you to put your hands on me to attack me. My body is a physical boundary and it is not your right to violate me!" What can't you understand about a wall, about boundaries, about people violating US law and entering illegally? You don't understand it because Satan has you by the throat. What do you say to the people who are rejected from entering the US due to we are already flooded with immigrants. My father and grandparents came here the legal way and if you need to SNEAK in then there are consequences. Or what do you say to the millions of parents who's children are hooked on drugs due to people from South America sneaking themselves and their drugs in? What do you say to the mother whose son was shot and killed by someone who came here illegally, was allowed to stay after having a "wrap sheet?" What exactly is your problem with Trump. I am sure you can't name the issue and share a logical reason!!! As I hears one young girl say: Those people came here illegally because they needed to create a life where they could survive and support himself financially. Wow! Great logic! So shoplifting, stealing from others should be tolerated as long as the "stealer" is poor and needs money?!!!!! WHAT? "Build bridges not walls" sounds warm and fuzzy but again- what about what the crime, the pain our citizens suffered due to a lack of a physical boundary???? Build bridges...... means that a country does not have a right to have a physical boundary??????!!!!! As a Christian, we should be willing after we fill our own cup to reach out to ALL people regardless of race or religion or gender or and say here, let me do for you since you can not do for yourself. Christianity at it's core is about love and limits!!! Yes Christ was no pushover. He had boundaries or He had limits. Has Trump said some things it would have been more Christlike not to say- probably. Have you? Has not every person who ever walked this earth done the same. I find it interesting, the tolerance for the mistakes of obama and yet when Trump makes a mistake the media is so filled with hate toward him (hating a person, not the act) is a sin they pounce every chance they get!!! Maybe all the Trump haters especially those in other countries need to take a look at himself. Maybe they need to take the log out of their own eye before they want to "fix" Trump or America? I am sure every anti Trump poster here has more than enough flaws in their own lives that if they were to correct would have a lot less negative to say about our president. And never forget Waters you would be speaking German if it was not for The United States Of America!!! No? Who did you come running to when you needed arms to protect yourself from German invasion.
+KirG Utzon Okay, wanna make love? Let's see how committed to that concept you are.
It is just so fashionable to mindlessly attack Donald Trump. Good rant, saer
make love with the intolerant islamics :)
Trump is not the fix. If that is the best there is then we are screwed. He got it because the selection was weak. And as a Catholic I don't see him personally as exhibiting much of any real true Christ like values. I was more of a 50/50 in the election. Not for illegals or progressive agendas, yet not for more vast inequality and rewarding the wealthiest whilst berating the poorer. And as I see it today , because of him America will be poorer longterm in future while top percentile revile in today. Trump is wrong about these and many things. You can not worship him as a savior while categorize everyone as working for satan who sees his fallacies.
i ADORE Roger Waters Musically, Politically, and Spiritually.
