About time the mainstream media put Professor Chomsky on.
@RUclips Moderator Let me guess. You have a better point of view...which was curated for you by 1 percenter millionaires and their billionaire founders?
On Ritalin?
OOps RUclips Moderator deleted comment. lol
@@thedebatemechannel4746 Obviously, we need more censorship.
They waited until he was senile enough to start regurgitating establishment propaganda.
Don't wanna live in a world without Chomsky😢
Watch Chris Hedges videos. Noam is brilliant but there are also other Journalists who are fighting for justice
And Richard Wolff, he is amazing too
About fucking time they got an actual intellectual on. Hats off Mehdi.
They only allowed him on corporate media when he lost his mind and started regurgitating their mindless partisan talking points. This is a man in deep cognitive decline, a pale shadow of his former self.
Yes but Chomsky is saying what "they" want this time. Any MSM ever ask him about Mullergate? Bet not but havent checked yet
Great to see Mehdi breaking the no Noam rule.
Oh-ho, what next Chris.Hedges
@@rono4723 Chris Hedges is garbage. He was a Bernie or Bust supporter; he was in favour of allowing Trump to rule for another 4 years just to own the libs.
@@theonlygoodlookinghabsburg2081 You have no evidence for your claim that he was a Trump supporter.
@@doccarter5283 I never said he was a Trump supporter.
@@theonlygoodlookinghabsburg2081 With Biden's baggage of lying and accusations of inappropriate nudity and sexual assault do you really think it is an undeniable fact that Biden would win against Trump and that Bernie would lose?
I have so much respect for bkyh Mehdi and Noam. Would love to see a longer interview between them both (similar to the old Head-to-Head format).
much longer please someone do a full hour interview please! :} saw noam chomsky speak years ago it was riveting.
YES---because Medi frames such strong questions and is also an unafraid listener.
Your funny, I chuckled. Asking the serious questions?
Do you believe in flying horses too?
@@noamfinnegan8663 No idea what a Schmucker Carlson fan is doing here
Nobody listens to Noam anymore... the dude has no credibility. Just parrots pro DNC-establishment rhetoric while going senile.
Please have Norm Chomsky on more often.
Right. So you can learn his first name!
@@michaelsmith8665 :
Be kind.
@@michaelsmith8665 clearly you live in a cave where autocorrect hasn’t reached yet.
Check it in here with my man Norm Chomsky
They won't because the masses may learn something instead of indoctrination and propaganda
Oath Keepers - what a joke. Throw those in the military out and into jail for treason. Great interview with Noam Chomsky too., Mehdi.
Oath Meal Keepers
Oaf Kreepies
Most right wing groups use deliberate misnomers to hide their actual focus. They hijack and abuse terms like Freedom, Patriot and Liberty for themselves when in fact they are fascists, thugs and cowards.
Some of these people are so self worshiping and delusional that they actually believe they are the good guys, it's scary to look in their eyes; they are quite unbalanced.
@@mainely8007 ... perfect description of antifa. You guys are the spitting image of the brown shirts of 1930's. Just awful people.
Their boss? goto antifa dot comm for the answer. I DARE YOU
@@ronaldbeck1762 so glad i voted for all my dead relatives....😎🔥
Noam Chomsky is one of the great intellectuals of our age, it's a pity that more people haven't been enlightened by his wisdom.
Nobody listens to Noam anymore... the dude has no credibility. Just parrots pro DNC-establishment rhetoric while going senile.
@@DeuPKay When you keep posting the same reply to multiple comments, you expose yourself as a bot
@@weedayna beep boop
@@DeuPKay Except you, apparently, having commented about him twice now on one thread. I expect the irony and hypocrisy is totally lost on you. 😎
@@ChristopherMHeaps Well that expectation is completely irrational.
Voices of sanity in an insane world
You pluralised the first word. Can recommend some Agatan vids to enlighten you with regards to the host.
He believes in flying horses among other crazy stuff.
He's just part of nudge theory and he knows it.
Now, Mr Chomsky is a different matter, a voice of reason for longer than the host has been alive.
Stay safe, No masters, No Gods
Are you including left wing terrorism in that insanity Or is that friendly terrorism? 6 six months of terrorism and 3billion in damages.
here come the fruitloop magats 🤪...to explain why Q was right...🤣
Nobody listens to Noam anymore... the dude has no credibility. Just parrots pro DNC-establishment rhetoric while going senile.
@@DeuPKay There are millions that listen to Noam for his wisdom, intelligence, memory and knowledge. No one can even come close to reason, science, humanism and progress...MAJORITY LISTEN😂
one of great minds of our time Noam Chomsky, together with one of the best journalist Mehdi? it doesn't get better then this.
Mr. Noam you are a national treasure! Thank you for your wisdom, knowledge and your free thinking. ♥️
Dr. Chomsky
A global treasure
Nobody listens to Noam anymore... the dude has no credibility. Just parrots pro DNC-establishment rhetoric while going senile.
Mr. Noam, you are a national charge; on the government dole for 50+ years. Producing nothing.
@@DeuPKay
Ironic! You heard his opinion, therefore you were listening. Greetings
“I would take out the word, still.” What a legend!
To say Noam Chomsky is a wise sage man is an understatement. More importantly than us saying he is wise is for humanity to heed his wisdom
Great interview of one of great intellectuals of our time Noam Chomsky, thank you Mehdi. Love your show and we were so happy to see you regularly on the MSNBC
@Oliver Pong ... all true and as I said, "one of great intellectuals of our time ..." Brutally honest too - a jew that not afraid to call out the State of Israel on Palestine conflict. Not an easy task. Hats off indeed to Mehdi, for such great interview.
"Prevent(ing) the country from being governable" never ends well.
Because you can t govern yourself
From the blue, white and yellow mountains of mystic Peru, I salute the brilliant mind of Mr. Chomsky.
Kudos Mehdi.
Dr. Chomsky.
Noam I fervently hope that all your presentations, appearances, guest lectures etc. will be archived and available for many generations to come to view and experience!!
They are. There is a Chomsky electronic library. If you don’t find it, it’s also @ www.citizenspolicyfoundation.org
This is all trump doing why is this criminal still walking in the free world if they can't convicted trump and send him to prison than the law and order of this country mean nothing it seems to apply well to poor peoples very well.
I don’t promote the death penalty, but isn’t being hanged the punishment in the USA for insurrection?
I would love to see that!
Firing Squad?
It can be the punishment for treason but I think most of the people arrested were charged with stuff like trespassing.
Legendary?? Indeed. Many believe his writings and legacy is like Dumbledore's magical stories and tricks when in fact he is a working class intellectual expecting Americans to learn who is their enemy and exploiter. And how to defend from them.
Idiot
@@grokker99 what part is that you didn't like or both ?? The Dumbledore's comparison or the part where I characterize him as a teacher on class warfare? Or both ?? Argument to reply??
Idiot is not a rational reply is just emotion. Sorry I made you mad.
@@georgefurman4371 George, it was my mistake. I misunderstood your comment after rereading it. Im not into Harry Potter and thought “Dumbledore” was an idiot character and so a diss on Chomsky, who i a respect immensely. Being of the star wars generation I barely watched the Harry Potter series. Lol. Thought dumbledore was like jar jar binks’ character. My bad. I was the idiot!
@@grokker99 I respect those that respect a great man that I wish had the youth strength with the old wisdom to shake some more the capitalists ideologues. My comparison was in the rush of a fun at his resemblance to that old wise guy in the tales.But with good intentions. I didn't take it personal. Hasta la vista amigo.
@@georgefurman4371 Hahah. Take care mate.
I think we are fucked. Arguing over the deck chairs on the Titanic will not help.

@@62Cristoforo I see your point.
Their “stack” is wrong. They are using the wrong hand on the shoulder. I’m a Marine. You don’t use your trigger finger hand. These people are posers.
Yeah, "Beau of the Fifth Column" pointed that out at the time.
agreed. They are just playing soldier. They probably made up a lot of stuff including their ROE
they're all left handed lol
The entire operation was doomed before it started. The participants were played for fools in a cult of personality. Trump is no more a protector of the little guy and American values than Hillary Clinton is.
Look at both characters and see they're about protecting the establishment and their own little empires.
Following that is how people ended up storming the Capitol, taking selfies, and now sitting in jail.
@@guesswho6014 True - and has been true for the vast majority of politicians/leaders in history.
Very few really serve the people above themselves (or their party). Such is the flaw in human nature - and the paradox of humanity: We are ultimately selfish beasts but our survival relies on co-operation with each other.
I see this paradox playing out everyday in the struggle between Right-wing 'Libertarianism' and left-wing 'Collectivism' - it is inside us all and plays out through whole populations.
Trump's 2016 election victory was born of the dissatisfaction in the selfish political class - The irony being that Trump is more self-serving that almost any political figure in living memory.
The storming of the Capitol however, was a much more direct result of brainwashing and direction from Trump and his goons - who perpetuated a lie about election fraud from before even the 2016 election.
The mob (who did more than just take selfies) weren't there on that day by accident, they were there to overturn a free and fair election at the request of their leader - and I quote - to 'Stop the steal'.
recognized around the world as America's leading political philosopher; virtually ignored by the MSM in his own country. Thank you Mehdi.
Love Medhi, love Noam🥰
yes yes yes
Nobody listens to Noam anymore... the dude has no credibility. Just parrots pro DNC-establishment rhetoric while going senile.
Love them BOTH esp Noam!!!! God bless Noam!😇🙏
@@DeuPKay Your post reveals your political illiteracy.
@@DeuPKay clearly illiteracy is a serious problem.
I love you professor chomsky but thank god for 1.5x speed. For real I hope he can keep speaking for the next 100 years, I will listen on 16x i don't care. protect this man at all costs
I will watch any video featuring Chomsky, and increasingly Mehdi 👍
Two fine minds.
BEST AND MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE HUMAN BEING ON EARTH. Noam
all Oathkeepers at the Capitol should be in prison for life.
is this what they mean by educated elite? Well BRING IT ON!
Remember when they used to call Noem a left-wing lunatic, now who are the lunatics.
Mehdi, the dude is frikkin 90! Have a little more patience with him. Let him finish his points.
93
Why do you think he's impatient? Mendhi is always extremely energetic and listened to each answer fully.
@@pramodmicelli Not till December.
Well, well, well what a nice surprise... I asked for this once... What a nice surprise
Nice job, Mehdi. I’ve seen you on MSNBC, where you stand out among its anchors for your tack sharp focus and your keen insights. I’m impressed that you put Mr. Chomsky on your show so that a mainstream audience can see and hear this great man in his own words. He’s a gem (and a genius). Having him on is the kind of thing that makes your show, and your network, more penetrating than the rest. Thanks!
U.S. military who participated in the insurrection should be discharged and lose all of their military benefits.
Chomsky on the fact that society thinks the deficit is one of the biggest issues: “one wonders if society will be able to survive”
Mehdi : “yes and they don’t mention how the deficit grew under a republican president”
Great way to illustrate his point, Mehdi.
aw yes more rep v.s dem nonsense. when clearly both parties are bought
@@JoJo-cy4tb - At least the Democrats aren’t trying to destroy Democracy and Free Elections! Their is a fucking difference.
I'm liking this channel more each day.
Much respect 4 Noam ✊
Nooo. Stop aging Noam. It’ll be a sad day for America when we lose him. The human encyclopedia.
I came for the generative grammar theory 50 years ago and stayed for the political theory. Wise man.
Wyatt a boss
NOAM ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Noam might be getting on but his mind is still as sharp as ever, thanks Medhi and Noam.
You know watching that footage reminds me of Stewart Gilligan Griffin. A one year old with dreams of world domination. Those so called oath keepers are immature one year olds and seriously need to grow up. This isn't the civil war days
they are just playing soldier and I think that makes them more dangerous..their only loyalty is to their group obviously since they obviously weren't enlisted long enough to learn much. That wasn't a proper stack. You don't put your gun hand on the shoulder in front of you.
agreed and also, there is
no need to modify “one year olds” with “immature” since there are no mature one year olds.
I love you Noam!💚💪 Without you I'd be lost in this Plutocracy!🙃
instead of being lost in this plutocracy, now youre complacent in it! thanks noam!!
I never thought that Noam Chomsky would be shown on MSM ever... But here he is.. The legend himself... Which tells us all how much trouble WS has found itself in... WOW!!!
Excellent food for thought
Treason too!
"A well regulated militia...." is the beginning of the infamous 2nd amendment. Time to well regulate those militias.
Time to go back to the Founding Fathers. The 2nd Ammendment has been twisted out of all recognition from the original Constitution!
@Snap Dragon A state military and a militia are in no way the same.
In 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights. The second amendment was put in place to check congressional power act, under Article 1 Section 8. To discipline the federal militia. Well we have a standing army, navy, Marine Corps, Air Force. We don't need armed militias in this day and age, especially those Weekend Warriors who've never serve this country. - US retired Army Veteran.
@@josephdelatorre3751, the Constitution defines the role of the militia as suppressing rebellion and putting down insurrection. www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-1/section-8/clause-15-16/the-militia-clauses
@@jeanine944 The purpose of the gun in the hands of a working-class person is to destroy oppression and tyranny. The founding fathers understood that Marx understood that but people like you cannot.
Oath Breakers, not Keepers
Probably one of the most intelligent contemporary American scholars. Much respect and love.
Love that Chomsky called the lockstep GOP communists. 👏👏
He's not wrong!
Dear Mr. Hasan: Thank you very much for Professor Chomsky's position. He is always worth listenting to.
With respect

Chomsky clarity. Much appreciated, Mehdi.
The old gent is 92. One can only hope he lives to see a better world.
This is a very important message from Chomsky. Thank you Mr. Hasan and the show.
It may not be the last attempt. They believe that 'Gott mit Uns.'
THANK YOU!!!
I couldn't agree more!
This supposed "coup attempt" lasted 6 hours.
Hatriots, the party of immorality.
So bear mace in the face didn't kill him or have anything to do with the stroke or related stress? OK. Let me take said doctor and spray their face with BEAR mace. Then I'll ask. How do you feel? Could this exacerbate any preexisting condition?
Your point is what? They are still fucking domestic terrorists who tried to overthrow the government!
The stroke was caused by brainstem blood clots. Do you really think "bear mace" causes brain stem blood clots in humans? Does it cause brain stem blood clots in bears, too? So there are also a lot of dead bears out there too, eh?
@@catmom1322 being sprayed with pepper spray increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. many strokes are caused by blood clots. bear spray is 4x as strong as pepper spray. you can look these facts up yourself, and i'm not sure why you haven't already.
capsaicin, the ingredient in pepper/bear spray, does kill in high enough doses. it's a chemical irritant, and when sprayed on somebody it is a chemical weapon.
he was killed by the bear spray, 100%.
@@catmom1322 also if they had police pepper spray instead of bear spray, that police pepper spray would have been even stronger than bear spray.
I’ll give Mehdi credit for this, he might’ve sold out leaving The Intercept but getting Chomsky some mainstream media exposure is something to applaud.
Very good Mehdi Hasson
Complacency is getting dangerous
Generational socioeconomic commentator, leading Doctor of Linguistics, and a darn good Frisbee golfer who makes a delightful grilled cheese sandwich....
What about the 18000 private "contractors" that reportedly were in Afghanistan earlier this year. Pulling out the remaining 3000 or so troops is just symbolic if they outsource the violence to mercenaries.
Mercenaries have a very short shelf life. After the first few hundred get slaughtered, the rest will run.
Outstanding
I saw Jan.6,as a coup against a coup because 159 million people voted and there's not that many registered voters because the population of people 18 years and older 209,000,000,so it was impossible for that many people to vote
Could you get Rachel Maddow or Chris Hayes to have the Professor on their shows?
I would lose a bet, but I would love to see him at least once on MSNBC. Talk about getting cancelled, no one knows that better than Noam.
Mehdi had Chomsky on his MSNBC on Sunday.
@@drewsg3 Yes, Mehdi did. Now how about the one's I said, or better still, how about Joe Scarborough or literally anyone on the rest of the MSM.
I was “duped” by former President Donald Trump and am now unable to provide for my daughter and disabled wife.
"I was following Trump's directive". As a result of this experience, I have learned not to be so gullible
and will not be so easily duped again. - J.Hughs (Capitol rioter). When was America great?
i cant imagine 100,000 ppl trying to sneak in every month to a place that is horrible with no great qualities haha
@@JoJo-cy4tb and remember that America was the one that caused many of the problems in Central and South America to begin with.
@@schen7913 hey the american gov is evil what do you expect and remember they couldn't do it with out the help of the corrupt governments in central and south america. also that was a very long time ago you'd think theyd get their shit together by now. either way that doesn't make open borders a legit idea.
Thank you for this interview with Professor Noam Chomsky. He is a national treasure.
Noam isn’t left he’s a pure outsider.
I like Chomsky's beard!
Comparing the Republicans to communism was great, and it's going to make a lot of right-winger blush - because it's true.
They aren't "republicans" - the Conservative Party has NEVER in its life been "republican" - White Supremacy, Racism and opposition to Civil Rights came straight out of the Racist, Anti-Civil Rights, pro-Slavery Democratic Party - read your fucking history .. Southern Democrats have been racist and anti-black for 244 years ..
I was more like a Toga Party . Chomsky is delirious .
Excellent.
Superb.
I think the columns got switched on the question about illegal immigration. Republicants are far more likely to say this is a problem than Democrats are, but this table shows the reverse.
So see how old Noam looks now, I love him beyond brotherhood love and inspired by his writings and speeches. May his ideas long live beyond his life.
the gun less coup? What is the name of the Police who killed unarmed Ashley Babbitt
Of course it was an attempted coup but without a leader worth protesting for, hiding under his bed, scary like the spoil child he is. Any other leader would have led the coup to the end, win or loose.
Trump didn't lead it and it's idiotic to suggest he did. He may have inadvertently given Oathkeeper types an opening in the ensuing chaos but that's about it.
And it's spelled "lose".
That chart of concerns appears to be messed up (dem and repub column labels reversed), given the verbiage...
Hitler began while imprisoned for what he considered to be "political crimes" following his failed Putsch in Munich in November 1923 and a trial in February 1924 for high treason, in which he received the very light sentence of five years. Although he received many visitors initially, he soon devoted himself entirely to the book. As he continued, he realized that it would have to be a two-volume work, with the first volume scheduled for release in early 1925. The governor of Landsberg noted at the time that "he [Hitler] hopes the book will run into many editions, thus enabling him to fulfill his financial obligations and to defray the expenses incurred at the time of his trial."
Is that not a riot. I DONT now what it is... 🎶
No excuses for attacking Our United States of America.
Zippo.
It was like a fucking field trip wow
9:00 Noam Chomsky has been proven right by history once again
I cannot believe this is the Chomsky I once knew.
I was 100% sure this clip would just be the old guy yelling "you shall not pass"... what a dissapointement...
Chomsky isn't going to be around too much longer. Wonder who's gonna fill his shoes?
Great interview Mehdi. I hope "they" let you keep your job. I agree with you 100%, however, the powers that be are trying to silence the truth!!!!!!!!!!!
It was practice. A scouting run.
Quarentine Noam is starting to look like the Ice King.
Noam Noam Noam Noam Noam
Chumpsky is responsible for ruining the rise of BF Skinner. I can't take him seriously.
jaja. chomsky coming through. very focused. gave the reason for the grievances neoliberalism while still condemning the racist reaction.
Order in the capitol? Now it's gonna be order in a prison
For the record, militia groups like the ones portrayed here, are illegal in all 50 states. Why aren't the Governors doing anything?
Those that participated in the attempted coup should be declared "enemy combatants" and transported to GITMO for trial.
Why does Mehdi Hasan remind me of Rowan Atkinson?
'engage in racism, like Nixon and Reagan did'.
People are going to believe whatever the news tells them to believe. They have no discernment between what is real or not.
I thought they were on a tour ?
