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.
I can't find it now, but I'd heard a version on youtube a long time ago from Iron Maiden where they changed the lyrics and it sang "run from the hills, run to your lives". You aren't alone, in our area the first nations and the colonial settlers fought together against fracking, and won. "Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone" - Fearless
@@edreynolds8721 Dude, come on, there was a oil pipeline spill last month, they almost NEVER have anything to do with environmental terrorists. Thats quite an argument, we need fossil fuels because of the people who need to drive to get medicine. In the US many can't even AFFORD them and nobody cares. But thats just crazy to think that anybody has said 'stop all oil today'. There is NO lack of oil without NEW pipelines.
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.
no words needed,just, more fore peace,,love and understanding fore all of us,Waters,is more Than pink Floyd,to one of most spectacular band in an universele world fore all of us all love Roger vore ever,peace-pleace grts from the Netherlands (fore)bloops sorry!!!
Years ago I kept hearing people claim that Waters was an anti-semite and I internalize it and thought "what a shame". Years later I discovered that it was a common tactic intended to smear activists with this false label and I felt foolish and guilty for being so gullible. Now that I'm awake I see this dirty tactic everywhere and realize when I'm being propagandized for the furtherance a dangerous narrative. I have so much respect for Roger and his integrity in the face of so much contrived hatred.
But soon he will be dead and have to answer to God for why he didn't accept His salvation through Jesus. There go we all. The whole deal is about eternity and where we will spend it, not this world which is. A giant distraction to sort out sheep from goats. Weeds from wheat.
@oneoflokis that is because he has lived an easy,wealthy life.talks a lot about the evil of the west, but when it comes to the fascist and imperialistic Russia he finds excuses. People and artists who criticise the Russian government like he criticises the west,are killed or arrested in Russia and sometimes even outside Russia. I find the man an hypocrite of the worst kind. Its easy to give interviews to people who think like you. I wonder how much of his money he shares with the poor people he seems to be defending.
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
Critical dissent? He victim blamed Ukraine and wants everyone to stop backing them so they can get crushed and end the conflict. He left Pink Floyd just before On The Turning Away, but he should listen to it a few times. 🖕Russia
So is Roger Hodgson of Supertramp. Like Waters, he tried to warn the masses about not 'Sleeping With The Enemy', and their mind control, soul, spirit killing tactics!
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.
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!😢
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.
Does the shaman explain why Rogers supports the killing and the creation of refugees in Ukraine and Syria with the consequense that many of them go to Europe Turkey and many other nations in MILLIONS where they are pissed upon by fascists and nazis?
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.
"🎵....Remembering days of daisy chains and laughs🎵 Got to keep your loonies on the path🎵" Roger Waters - Braindamadge -DSOTM - to this day, greatest thing I've heard! I'm just sad that his "partner in crime" , Gilmour,is total opposite of Roger in ideology (Ukraine war particularly) & seems to me that they'll never be able to burry the hatchet, unfortunately!
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..
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.

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
I'm surprised because in most countries people are well aware that people are not their government. One 'good' thing I've noticed is that the belligerent american is not so public in foreign countries anymore. I think MOST americans are well aware of this kind of thing, they simply don't know what to do about it. And so it really is easier to just turn on a sitcom. I hate jazz by the way:)

@@josiplilic3384 No on a human level I have been impressed with Roger all my life. Yeah each small candle lights a corner of the dark but only faithful following of Jesus Christ saves ones soul.
I don`t agree. He has more moneys than the other PF-members.Gilmour spent Millions for poor people in his country and for other social activities. I never heard the same about 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.
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.
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 🌏🌎🌍
I love how Roger goes to the source, using his name, to prod leaders in political chains. I write, also, to whoever might read it, yet I don't have the clout, ha! His passion, and Chris's is awesome.
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. ❤
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.
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.
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.
@@kristinaveirum To your reply. I kinda said he must have splitpersonality or at least a mindfuck defending the impossible. Bashing Israelforoccupations(sic) and living in USA which is 1 big mothership of colonisers .Iran that , like him, wants to destroy that only tiny Jewish country there is and now he has to defend modern women against the regime that he usually must endorse because of their hate for Israel. And now, like the so called Palestinians he defends Putinsway of acting. I must admit I do agree on reasoning why he may be right regarding Putin. For me it is confusing. I was anti COVID measures and Israel championed that. I m not pro Russia or anti Ukraine but considering Ukraine appearantly has a Jew as head of state thats probably what binds Roger and the Fakestinians. Dont you think so?
A true Homo SAPIENS… I seriously doubt, though, such (un)happy few lucid minds will be in any capacity to awake some day the huge majority of the chained Prisoners gathered inside the global 2.0 Plato’s Cave… Humankind more and more as the most doomed species ever on this tiny, extraordinary, but miserable rock.
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 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...
It's not pleasant or easy to create a state. There's no peaceful way of doing it. So if you agree that the Jews should have a country of their own in Palestine, there's no way round the fact that some people are going to suffer because of that. By the way, Bedouin have also been extremely cruel to other peoples, including Sudanese African refugees that they've caught in the desert.
@@adielstephenson2929 seems to me Israel has such a insecure affairs of status, there is a plan to take over the whole kit and kaboodle. That is my opinion. Centuries of influence via the usual. Very underlying causes have affects.
Use a good stereo system with high quality headphones. If you are so inclined, drink a cup of herbal tea or imbibe of an herb of your choice before you begin this experience.
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.
@@LeeLee-BB that makes sense then. They are easily in the top 5 most famous English language rock bands of all time, with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Clash.
@@LeeLee-BB Not really. There were the 50-60s where there was a huge movement for freedom, through music and protests? And the "hippy" and "flower power" movement also. 💐🌸💮🏵🌹🌺🌻🌼⚘🌱🌲🌳🌴🌵
One wonders WHO WILL TAKE HIS PLACE and it’s hard not to be taken in by the manufactured despair that is being used to hide what is in truth the terrible but wholly justified desperation of those encompassed by the NeoCon/WallStreet labels who are watching the control they were able to exert with such great success upon the Baby Boomers but which has shown itself to not just be “failing” but to have actually failed and they have lost control of our nation and we must pray they aren’t allowed to doom us al in their futile attempts to reassert something that in every metric is shown to be gone forever.
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
Hello everyone, welcome to the latest episode of The Chris Hedges Report with Pink Floyd's Roger Waters! Just a reminder that TRNN is an independent, view-supported network--so we can take on the corporations and billionaires that own them. We're trying to raise almost $2500 today to help produce our news, analysis, and insightful shows like Chris Hedges. Smash that donate button to pitch in if you can! 💸
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😢
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.
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
Roger has come under some heavy criticism in the last few years. He has taken a strong stand for the subjugated people of Palestine and has subsequently been condemned by mainstream media. The sad part about this is "The Wall" being taken out of context and used against him. It hit me emotionally when he spoke of his father and how he died at Anzio, making the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. To this day the song "When The Tigers Broke Free" brings on that feeling of sacrifice and loss. It is beyond irony Roger was made an honourary citizen of Anzio a few years ago. I got to hear Roger speak in Vancouver a few years ago at a local church, admission was by donation; now only if we can do something about those ridiculously priced concert tickets ! Thank you Roger for staying true all these years.
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."
Pink Floyd had a deep impact on me during my teens and triggered the critical and questioning of the entire system and authorities, Roger should be called; Lord Waters.
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. 😩
Same with me. Our government are puppets of an agenda cooked up by criminals in USA. They don't care about the British people. That is the last thing on their mind.
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 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. 🤞🙏❤️❤️❤️🍀🍀🍀
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 the Vancouver concert on September 15, traveled from Vancouver Island to attend, it was epic and emotional. I recorded the entire concert and uploaded it to this channel of mine, 3 days after that, and after more than 2 thousand views, RUclips deleted my first video (part one before intermission) and gave me a first strike threatening me with canceling my channel for good if repeated action had to be taken by them. Capitol records demanded my video to be deleted and RUclips honored the stupid demand. I'm trying to connect with Roger and request his written permission to upload it again. I'm very sad about this situation, but I'm not going to give up.
@@johnsanders561 I've no need, but I'll illustrate you anyway: my audience is purely Latinamerican, most of them have no idea who Roger Waters is, even the less have knowledge of his message and great music and shows. I wanted to share that with them and with anybody else that aren't as privileged neither lucky as some of us having the chance to attend such events. I'm sure that Roger would not have any problem about it, so, you should stop thinking for him and let him tell me yes you can, good idea, or no, bad idea.
@@juanzavaleta.conspiracion666 That's all very nice of you, but why didn't you ask before you uploaded? Bad decisions that might cost your followers the chance to ever hear Roger Waters. You can self justify your motives all you want but at the end of the day it's still pirating content. Shame on you.
Peace needs to be pursued, and there MUST be a long term strategy for peace globally. Peace is hardly ever mentioned in MSM nor establishment politics, but war and billions "needed" in arms in Ukraine is constantly sold as the only answer
True, and we know why. But what brings me to the brink of going crazy that people do distinguish between imperialism and imperialism, between this and that war. I can walk and chew a gum at the same time, as a socialist with principles I don't throw overboard when it gets complicated. Human race is all but peacefully and I'm not a dreamer anymore. I lost my confidence in people. People who want, voluntarily or involuntarily, part of a faction, because it's feeling good, rather than thinking for themselves and go the painful way of becoming knowledgeable in a desert full of distraction, propaganda and misinformation. Healthy critical thinking, being a skeptic while not giving in in tribalism,searching for truth by oneself and crawling against all odds, even against once own like minded people is the hard but better way to understand and staying sane. I don't think many of us do and I will die in fear for those left behind. If we want peace on earth we should persui peace in us first (no, I'm not that guy who is some sort of a old hippie or new age deciple) by not becoming selfish and over-rightious, to confident and uncritical of oneself. Is peace possible and can we break the circles of violence and war? I'm rather pessimistic. Not because assholes dominate this world but because of the people to dumb and numb to get out of their comfort zone and fight for what's right.
Gotta keep the military industrial complex profitable n Rollin along they'll never kill us all just fe thousand here , a million there gotta have subjects surf's , body's to control for their evil purposes but so when they own it all and control all now what game over now what will they do for fun!!??
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 ❤!
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….😉
I can't say I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd but Roger Waters is a remarkable man - a good man. So few artists nowadays have a sense of social conscience, stay informed, and are willing to speak out.
I feel privileged to be able to listen to you Chris and all your guests from Tecate, Baja California, Mexico. No matter where I am, I will listen. You educate me more than going to any other institution. Gracias.
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
Thank you for this interview. When I heard the awesome Chris Hedges letting Mr. Waters give his thoughts on current state of things on this earth, I was in complete awe and totally entranced by so much compassion and thought provoking points both men raised. I only wish this interview was longer.

@@josiplilic3384 No on a human level I have been impressed with Roger all my life. Yeah each small candle lights a corner of the dark but only faithful following of Jesus Christ saves ones soul.
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.......
so proud to be a fan of his, can't think of how many idols dissapointed me over the years, nice to see one who stands for something

Roger is a great person. He could have stepped away and said nothing. Money does not drive him, Love does.
Well said.
Which show of his where he didn't charge anyone, was his best
Love and not identity. That's what makes us good .
@@jennyshoarhouse You are correct.
I don`t agree. He has more moneys than the other PF-members.Gilmour spent Millions for poor people in his country and for other social activities. I never heard the same about 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.
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.
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 🌏🌎🌍

I love how Roger goes to the source, using his name, to prod leaders in political chains. I write, also, to whoever might read it, yet I don't have the clout, ha! His passion, and Chris's is awesome.
I am so grateful not all musicians have sold out. Thank you Roger. You are such a nice human being
Unfortunately Roger did sell out, to Putin.
@@xandervk2371 I agree to disagree.
But who knows what is right right now..

What did trump do bad? If you are not in kindergarten, you need help.
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. ❤
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.
What a moving fantastic interview!
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.
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.
What a tremendous privilage it is to hear these two amazing men in conversation.
two tremendously privileged men
Very moving conversation from you both. Thank you!❤❤❤
excellent interview and guest. Roger Waters is fantastic !
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.
Does he support the women of Iran that get oppressed by islamic regime?
@@jonblackers4339 Yes he certainly does and he’s been very vocal about it.
@@kristinaveirum interesting, I wrote a reply and it vanished.
@@jonblackers4339 A reply to what and what did you write?
@@kristinaveirum To your reply. I kinda said he must have splitpersonality or at least a mindfuck defending the impossible. Bashing Israelforoccupations(sic) and living in USA which is 1 big mothership of colonisers .Iran that , like him, wants to destroy that only tiny Jewish country there is and now he has to defend modern women against the regime that he usually must endorse because of their hate for Israel. And now, like the so called Palestinians he defends Putinsway of acting. I must admit I do agree on reasoning why he may be right regarding Putin. For me it is confusing. I was anti COVID measures and Israel championed that. I m not pro Russia or anti Ukraine but considering Ukraine appearantly has a Jew as head of state thats probably what binds Roger and the Fakestinians. Dont you think so?
What a beautiful human being Roger Waters is. We need more people like him.
Yes, we need more weed smoking hippies preaching love and peace, while raking in the cash with their suspect form of entertainment.

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
Thank you beautiful souls! You are what the world needs more of right now! Bless you
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...
Bedouin in Beersheba, not Bedoin - as that's in Provence region, France. And it's Romanian, not Rumanian.
It's not pleasant or easy to create a state. There's no peaceful way of doing it. So if you agree that the Jews should have a country of their own in Palestine, there's no way round the fact that some people are going to suffer because of that. By the way, Bedouin have also been extremely cruel to other peoples, including Sudanese African refugees that they've caught in the desert.
@@adielstephenson2929 seems to me Israel has such a insecure affairs of status, there is a plan to take over the whole kit and kaboodle. That is my opinion. Centuries of influence via the usual. Very underlying causes have affects.
@@adielstephenson2929 Not easy when a state is created on lies.
@@apollomemories7399 Rumania is the older spelling in English.
I love Roger’s use of language.
Roger Waters is an absolute hero! Chris - thank you so much for having him on! Amazing legend ❤
Much respect to Mr. Waters. I don't know his music but as a man he's a credit to humanity.
☮️
Listen to the album Animals. Brilliant glimpse into his creativity.
You don’t know what you are missing if you don’t know Rogers music my friend.
You are the perfect candidate to have the opportunity to listen to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time.
Use a good stereo system with high quality headphones. If you are so inclined, drink a cup of herbal tea or imbibe of an herb of your choice before you begin this experience.
my thought is just the opposite. A brilliant musician a fake person.
What an excellent credit to humanity those two gentlemen are.
Roger is a decent musician, thats about it though...
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.
@@LeeLee-BB I seriously cannot imagine how one could exist in the English speaking world, at least, and not have at least heard Pink Floyd.
@@LeeLee-BB that makes sense then. They are easily in the top 5 most famous English language rock bands of all time, with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Clash.
@@johnkayoss5422 Bless that excellent man, thanks for the scoop:)
@@LeeLee-BB Not really. There were the 50-60s where there was a huge movement for freedom, through music and protests? And the "hippy" and "flower power" movement also. 💐🌸💮🏵🌹🌺🌻🌼⚘🌱🌲🌳🌴🌵
One wonders WHO WILL TAKE HIS PLACE and it’s hard not to be taken in by the manufactured despair that is being used to hide what is in truth the terrible but wholly justified desperation of those encompassed by the NeoCon/WallStreet labels who are watching the control they were able to exert with such great success upon the Baby Boomers but which has shown itself to not just be “failing” but to have actually failed and they have lost control of our nation and we must pray they aren’t allowed to doom us al in their futile attempts to reassert something that in every metric is shown to be gone forever.
Three are some interviews/discussions that give so much beauty & empathy....thank you Chris & Roger.
It’s really fulfilling to be able to attend a conversation between two of the coolest and bravest. Such a privilege 🙏🏽
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
Hello everyone, welcome to the latest episode of The Chris Hedges Report with Pink Floyd's Roger Waters! Just a reminder that TRNN is an independent, view-supported network--so we can take on the corporations and billionaires that own them. We're trying to raise almost $2500 today to help produce our news, analysis, and insightful shows like Chris Hedges. Smash that donate button to pitch in if you can! 💸
Chris Hedges is as insightful as Roger Waters. The same record for the last 40 years. Come up with something new, for God sake. It is getting boring.
I'm angry!
The truth is so much more than all our opinions combined!
'We're trying to raise almost $2500 today to help produce our news, analysis, ' So it's all about money in the end...
@@zahariachirica5466 well it has to cost something to do this service. That’s not an oligarchic amount at any rate.
Incredible. The founder of some of the most iconic music of a century speaks so eloquently and compassionately, for we the people, truly inspiring.
I loved Pink Floyd from the 60s to my 60s. Roger's politics and music are so honest and refreshing.
Such a great respect for this two lads. Chris and Roger I salute you!
Really scary but oddly comforting to know at least a few people know what’s going on in this world
Yupp lol
And willing to talk about it.
Hahahahahahaha!!!
And the guts to speak out, loudly.
Bit worried he’s bought into gnosticism, tho’.
love how he gives Richard Wright credit by writing one of the greatest songs of all time.
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😢
You’re not crazy mate. Keep your head up.
My greatest hero and inspiration, as an artist and as a wonderful human being. Love you Roger ❤
What an excellent interview, during which I have chosen to venture to South America to see Roger Waters Tour live.
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.
Two people who remind us that our species has not yet gone entirely mad.
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
Roger has come under some heavy criticism in the last few years. He has taken a strong stand for the subjugated people of Palestine and has subsequently been condemned by mainstream media.
The sad part about this is "The Wall" being taken out of context and used against him. It hit me emotionally when he spoke of his father and how he died at Anzio, making the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. To this day the song "When The Tigers Broke Free" brings on that feeling of sacrifice and loss. It is beyond irony Roger was made an honourary citizen of Anzio a few years ago. I got to hear Roger speak in Vancouver a few years ago at a local church, admission was by donation; now only if we can do something about those ridiculously priced concert tickets ! Thank you Roger for staying true all these years.
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."
That was Rick's masterpiece. Roger added, as usual, phenomenal poetry to it. Gilmour did a good job singing. But that is Rick at his best.
Pink Floyd had a deep impact on me during my teens and triggered the critical and questioning of the entire system and authorities, Roger should be called; Lord Waters.
I love this interview! You both have brought so much light and truth to the world! Don’t ever stop, and thank you! ❤
This is how you conduct an interview. Notice how Roger was completely engaged. Genius.
I'm sure that, looking back, Roger will remember this as being among his best ever interviews.
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. 😩
Chris Hedges! Amazing! And with Roger Waters! Just a great piece!

Same with me. Our government are puppets of an agenda cooked up by criminals in USA. They don't care about the British people. That is the last thing on their mind.
@Persuasive Barrier, Russia saved Poland from the Nazi's you ungrateful nothing.
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
Roger’s integrity and compassion are unmatched. Stay safe, thanks for doing what you do ❤
Oh, really. You don't mind that he supports Putin in its genocidal war against Ukraine? Shame on you.
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. 🤞🙏❤️❤️❤️🍀🍀🍀
Unbeknownst to Roger Waters, he's earned a glowing medal in the hearts of many. One day we'll see it!
With every day my respect for Rodger grows. It actually parallels my thoughts about Chris too.
As always, TRNN and Chris Hedges hit another homerun. Thanks!
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 was in the Vancouver concert on September 15, traveled from Vancouver Island to attend, it was epic and emotional. I recorded the entire concert and uploaded it to this channel of mine, 3 days after that, and after more than 2 thousand views, RUclips deleted my first video (part one before intermission) and gave me a first strike threatening me with canceling my channel for good if repeated action had to be taken by them. Capitol records demanded my video to be deleted and RUclips honored the stupid demand. I'm trying to connect with Roger and request his written permission to upload it again. I'm very sad about this situation, but I'm not going to give up.
If he wanted it uploaded on RUclips, he would do it.
Why do you think you should profit off of his hard work?
@@johnsanders561 who said I'm profiting from it,?😒🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️videos were demonetized. Typical troll without anything better to do you are...
@@johnsanders561 I've no need, but I'll illustrate you anyway: my audience is purely Latinamerican, most of them have no idea who Roger Waters is, even the less have knowledge of his message and great music and shows. I wanted to share that with them and with anybody else that aren't as privileged neither lucky as some of us having the chance to attend such events. I'm sure that Roger would not have any problem about it, so, you should stop thinking for him and let him tell me yes you can, good idea, or no, bad idea.
@@juanzavaleta.conspiracion666 That's all very nice of you, but why didn't you ask before you uploaded? Bad decisions that might cost your followers the chance to ever hear Roger Waters.
You can self justify your motives all you want but at the end of the day it's still pirating content.
Shame on you.

Peace needs to be pursued, and there
MUST be a long term strategy for peace globally. Peace is hardly ever mentioned in MSM nor establishment politics, but war and billions "needed" in arms in Ukraine is constantly sold as the only answer
True, and we know why. But what brings me to the brink of going crazy that people do distinguish between imperialism and imperialism, between this and that war. I can walk and chew a gum at the same time, as a socialist with principles I don't throw overboard when it gets complicated. Human race is all but peacefully and I'm not a dreamer anymore. I lost my confidence in people. People who want, voluntarily or involuntarily, part of a faction, because it's feeling good, rather than thinking for themselves and go the painful way of becoming knowledgeable in a desert full of distraction, propaganda and misinformation. Healthy critical thinking, being a skeptic while not giving in in tribalism,searching for truth by oneself and crawling against all odds, even against once own like minded people is the hard but better way to understand and staying sane. I don't think many of us do and I will die in fear for those left behind. If we want peace on earth we should persui peace in us first (no, I'm not that guy who is some sort of a old hippie or new age deciple) by not becoming selfish and over-rightious, to confident and uncritical of oneself. Is peace possible and can we break the circles of violence and war? I'm rather pessimistic. Not because assholes dominate this world but because of the people to dumb and numb to get out of their comfort zone and fight for what's right.
Gotta keep the military industrial complex profitable n Rollin along they'll never kill us all just fe thousand here , a million there gotta have subjects surf's , body's to control for their evil purposes but so when they own it all and control all now what game over now what will they do for fun!!??
The reason why is peace isn't always the answer.
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl Thank you and well said.
Very enjoyable show. I've hung out with these two guys for so many years now I really sensed an intimacy and sharing during this wonderful exchange.
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 ❤!
Great man, great music, someone who never sold his soul and believes!!!
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….😉
Big thumbs up to Chris Hedges for this wonderful and a great interview!
I can't say I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd but Roger Waters is a remarkable man - a good man. So few artists nowadays have a sense of social conscience, stay informed, and are willing to speak out.
I never "got" their music till I tried psychedelics at 34. Afterwards it all clicked.
Where’s Bono when you need him ? I guess in his secure bunker counting his billions😛😴
Pink Floyd has always been my favorite band!!!
Amazing interview! It's always a pleasure to hear from Roger Waters!
Thank you Chris!
A hug from Portugal!
Huge Respect for Mr Roger Waters and a Massive fan of Pink Floyd

Thankyou Chris for asking the right questions and Roger for showing the young how to be a great Artist as well as a great Activist and human being.
Thank you for this interview. When I heard the awesome Chris Hedges letting Mr. Waters give his thoughts on current state of things on this earth, I was in complete awe and totally entranced by so much compassion and thought provoking points both men raised. I only wish this interview was longer.
