i wish this man could live forever.
tomitstube He will.
Amen.
It's great to know that he is still alive and doing well.
@@jenniemalloy7402
That's a beautiful point and very true. His writings and brilliant insights will be with us for as long as we're smart enough to utilize them. There are a lot of amazingly brilliant people in the world and Noam stands out among them. I generally don't get upset when someone that I don't know passes away but it's going to be a very sad day when we lose this man.
@@User-xw6kd How is his health? I hope he's well.
I will cry so much when Chomsky is not among us anymore. He's been a lighthouse of rationality, sanity and fairness for many many years. I just wish he could live another 20 years.
I can't bear to contemplate it. We will most likely be crying together.
The way he’s not slowing down one bit in his old age makes me feel like he could haha
The thought of celebrating "Noam Chomsky Day" every year would make his passing more bearable. His towering intellect, relentless honesty and global humanism are indeed a lighthouse.
@@TheJonnyEnglish I know he's still speaking regularly. He's 94 this December.
As far as all the written + audiovisual material he’s left us won’t be ‘erased’, he will remain among us. I doubt, though, his exceptionally lucid mind will ever touch a number of humans significant enough to change the global criminal + suicidal behavior of Homo ‘sapiens’. This very man, alas, is definitely much too smart to convince but the usual (un)happy few. Tech, especially, has made the anonymous mainstream ‘doxa’ far, far too powerful.
If I keep interrupting with my next question before you are done answering I win.
ufia-i agree.. i considered that man a complete j jerk for trying to cut chomsky off before he could answer. i suspect this backfired on him.. made many more sympathetic,open minded to chomsky's claims
Hahaha... touché!!!
Owning the libs to confuse the masses. Chomsky still got his points across.
@@johnmoran1317 that guy is like the 70s version of ben shapiro lol
@@uncensoredart6112 _I don't know ben shapiro..But i know chomsky well..and m,ostly agree with him[except for 911 and JFK's assassination.]
The second guy questioning Chomsky was all pomp, desperate to frame Chomsky as unamerican using cheap tactics. Chomsky was having none of it. He's not only smart, he's strong of character.
Hair game is 💯
Yes!was super distracted by the incredible hair!cant front that,dude with receding hair line.This vid is priceless
You do know that alot of men go through male pattern baldness? And it's not their choice?
@@caldoreo doesn’t change the fact that he has good hair
@@callidusvulpes5556 gorgeous.
Rule one of debating Chomsky:
1. Don't do it
So glad so many have tried! Sad though, that they all have failed, but they still run the show.
@@chadsimmons4496
He happened to study linguistics, but he would have dominated any field that he studied. Chomsky is a special kind of genius that we're all too stupid to fully appreciate. Like Tesla, Tolstoy, or Mozart; Chomsky is so far ahead of his peers that's its hard to evaluate his place in history. I am genuinely going to miss him.
This comment rings so true after that debacle of a debate with the Bad Faith podcast. The hosts even thought they beat him after that lmao. So embarrasing.
@@Maxarcc briana joy grey is a psuedointellectual who wants a media career and virgil texas is a really bad comedy writer. That they think they beat chomsky in a debate is really funny. I don't even fully agree with chomsky that voting for biden was essentially a moral duty but all of their arguments FUCKING SUCKED. But since their brand of leftism is just hanging out and having a good time with your other brooklyn friends the fact that they laughed and joked about how they beat him (when he wasn't there) means that they basically did win. The working class didn't but they don't actually care about them and spend their whole lives avoiding joining their ranks.
The courage and wisdom Professor Chomsky has. It boggles my mind the power this man has. Day after day, year after year, decade after decade not giving into despair or threats on his life to fight for the good of all peoples. I am as big as a football player and still feel so small listening to him. He sees what is going on in the shadows and still to this day in his 90's in home on his web camera continues the fight with a sense of hope. He is a hero. A real one. Thank you Sir for your service to us all.
Beautifully put. Prof. Chomsky's integrity and character are absolutely aspirational.
@@capicuaaawhere is this show now
A powerful mind . Scary smart .
Conservatives from time immemoriam: "What if this situation that I've crafted in my head for the purpose of winning an argument point was real, instead of the reality that is so damning to my cause and entire political identity?"
No sorry that’s inscrutable.
So so true. And it is mind boggling how they fail to notice the profound distortion that underlies such a mindset.
@@ad12bc34how did you find this
50 years since then and he's still kicking, may he be preserved with health for many many more years
Communists and Islamists love him, nobody else takes him very seriously
The fact is nobody remembers today who exactly the second arrogant showman was, whereas everybody has ever heard of Noam.
the Fact that everybody knows who Chomsky is despite him not being on Cnn, Msnbc, Fox, etc
Unfortunately he is not as well known in the US as he is abroad.
I think it was William F Buckley
It was Buckley’s publisher actually.
This interview must have been just before Chomsky flew the flag for Pol Pot.
At the end of the day despite all of his copious amounts of bluster and indignation Chomsky has not achieved much . So what if his sanctimonious drivel dupes a proportion of the youth that are wet behind the ears .l don’t care anymore. As Machiavelli said “the vulgar are generally influenced by appearances , and most people are vulgar “
@@roughhabit9085 No, that's just you projecting your clear insecurities, Cowardice and malicious intentions and like the usual ultraconservative, offering nothing of substance, therefore accusiing the other of what you disseminate, which is utter drivel
William A. Rusher apparently wrote a book called "How To Win Arguments More Often Than Not". I wonder if he considers constantly interrupting someone that you just asked a question to a good way of "winning" an argument. I can't believe Chomsky always manages to keep his cool when faced with these "opponents".
True,his interuptions where offensive and his smug arrogance unwarranted! Noam stayed cool and humiliated him.
One courageous man of clear intellect against the world..
Chomsky g-walked out of there
lol
hell yes he did.
and into my heart
Noam g-walks everywhere.
Thank you Professor Chomsky....a jewel among men!
lmao "Young Noam Chomsky" was 47 here
43, actually
I put that title in the search and came here
@@johnmulligan455 He was turning 43 years old that year, maybe this was before his birthday though
@@johnmulligan455ikay then
Put it into perspective.
The guy interrupting Chomsky and rudely not really listening much to his answers after a question reminds me of Hannity.
Damn! Chomsky is hot!
NotMEUS Led by Faith, not by sight! He was recently voted the 'sexiest philosopher alive' .
@@pragjyotishbhuyangogoi8363
Didn't know that title existed 😅
Great stuff. No wonder they stopped asking him to appear on major network TV. The good professor has decades of facing down these right-wing bullies and professional obfuscators. Hope he's around for a good while yet. Socialism or Barbarism.
What’s the difference?
Chomsky is a brilliant man and it’s such a shame that his voice is silenced by mainstream media in this country !!!
Well don’t get your knickers in a twist about it chum because mainstream media is all but dead
The interviewer's sole intent on scoring rhetorical points wouldn't be half as annoying as it was if he wasn't bent on talking like some 19th century showman.
Crysus Bu Which he wasn't. He was being a bell end, sitting on a table like a child with the most frightful accent one could conjure up (trans-atlantic). Limited vocabulary and cheap rhetorical tricks coupled with half-decent elocution.
ugh the trans-atlantic accent lol
Lukasz Przek 😅😅😅😅😅
Being a bootlicker throughout is annoying enough.
So called refined speech is a tell tale sign of snobbery and faux intellectual agression
Crazy to see this video is literally almost 50 years old
Chomsky-Cool and sure of himself. The other guy- drenched in sweat and making a fool of himself.
I didn't know a young Noam Chomsky existed.
We need more intellectuals that dare to speak up. Now, more than ever.
Once again a brilliant demonstration of coherent logic and the defense of American Morality by professor Chomsky. I love how he highlights that the people of the united states are the arbiters of right and wrong, not hegemonic and power hungry sociopaths acting in secret against the interests of the people they are supposed to be serving.
well done finding this and posting it
I am so relieved to see him young again. Last time i heard him at democracy now, with Amy Goodman, where he talked about corona, environment and nuclear weapon, he looked old. I am happy he is young again. We need Noam forever.
He's 93 so we're lucky to have him still. But you know what? His books and ideas will be young forever.
Chomsky is so much more knowledgeable, rational and honest than the 'other side'. That must be why his point of view has, sadly, not prevailed with the American people. Vietnam, meet Iraq.
Yeah even the radicals despised him for supporting Pol Pot but hey they have selective memories when it suits.
The interviewer was sweating and rushing to the next question, Where as Noam Chomsky gave answers so immediately with out much thought, that is surprising. Its like he already has a forumula in his brain and his mouth just spewing output with the ears taking input. No changing of the algorithm at run time.
If the government deicides what is good and what is evil then we are all in for a terrible life with no redemption.
William A. Rusher acts like a straightup creep, and still gets completely beaten up intellectually.
Unsurprising given he also wrote articles defending people like Pinochet.... Chomsky's history of being right with complete calm and confidence, is attributable to a vast intellect & dedication, but more importantly to his total integrity, in not having any agenda or being for sale or anyones whore...
sydb Correct.
Wow, at the end that Rusher guy said it should be up to the government to determine what is good and evil! He literally said "I think it's for the government", on an issue where their government had been LYING to the people about the war and the reasons for it, while committing a GENOCIDE.
Top upload. Thank you.
How many lives did Ellesberg and Russo save by releasing those documents? Millions I think. The courage they had. To stand up to the US Government and the solid narrative they had on the war. RIP Anthony Russo. Thank you Professor Chomsky and Mr Ellesberg. You three are heroes.
You could be right.. but not 100 percent sure... for hindsight is 20/20
Publishing the Pentagon Papers encouraged the U.S. to step back from military ventures.
In 1975 or before, possibly the U.S. should have fully gone into Cambodia to rescue its people. .. even it meant coordinating with the Vietnamese Communist.
Americans went through fatigue to fight overseas... but millions died in Cambodia.
In 1983, I was arrested for civil disobedience and placed overnight in a private room with Daniel Ellsberg.
He said, Sometimes, one needs to push someone away who, by chance, is blocking you from reaching a drowning
We talked about the book, Experiment in Truth....
But, I applied political correctness before the term was widely known..
I wanted to question about the need for military force in Cambodia. I understand are militarism in southeast Asia destabilize Cambodia. Nevertheless, there is a time.
We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Our earlier involvement being dirty... the baby being the helpless Cambodians.
Our actions earlier that night was to stop the testing of the MX missle.
The MX was part of Ronald Reagan's star wars.
The Soviet Union could not continue to compete. .. and collapse.
The outcomes are not black or white.
It's good that the Soviet Union collapse.. not so good it nuclear information and materials end up on the black market.
So, the U.S. backing away from overseas conflicts is not completely right.
Who is Anthony Russo?
The second interviewer is your common person. You can recognise them from a mile. They know nothing but they pretend to be smart.
Common people don't try so hard to be smart, which in a strange way undercuts a lot of Chomsky's lamentations on behalf of the common person. lol
Perfect example of media practice of not fully discussing something.
I love how the 2nd guy tried to set him up for a cross-examination, but had no idea what his answers were going to be. Made himself look so stupid when Chomsky actually thought faster than a firehouse of pre-prepared questions.
They don't make TV like that anymore.
Thank goodness. These reactionary morons with the affected transatlantic accent were cancer.
It's interesting to compare the Ellsberg situation with modern day cases like Snowden and Assange. We see Ellsberg as being kind of a necessary player in the story of Vietnam and US foreign policy, and has won awards for his efforts, but only after a good bit of time has gone by. It will be interesting to read Wikis on Snowden and Assange 30 years from now.
Not really all that similar. The Pentagon Papers were way more important. Snowden did reveal U.S. collecting more information on it’s citizens than was admitted; Assange seemed to take sides in an election, and I lost respect for him when he pushed the baseless conspiracy theory about Seth Rich. I hope Assange is pardoned, but don’t think he has much credibility or importance anymore.
...and I thoght that the interviewer's job was to ask a question and let the person answer it, but this interview shows me I was sooooo wrong😂
Great clip
Incredible mind! And the ceaseless efforts to try to ‘trip’ him up, to no avail. That’s why the major media won’t have him, just to speak. Simple honest facts and truths are not permitted.
Not to say anything bad about Chomsky now, I love him and his views, but the "young" Noam was just full of that fire and youth and sometimes I forget about these older interviews. Not to say he doesn't have that fire still, but age can dull that intensity. I love the fact that idiot interrogating him tries to trap him and he clearly outlines its not a "one size fits all" kind of solution. The guy wants general and Noam checks him with the nuances. Of course history is on Chomsky's side so...
Like a Boss!
Just shows how easy it is for simple moral values of universal right and wrong to trump any aggressive examination... When you see a politician stumble in an interview, it's because they're not dealing with right and wrong, but insidious calculations.
"What if he had a red balloon in his left hand while revealing classified documents?!"
A red one, you say?
He was so far ahead of everyone.
Seeing him as anything other than an old ass man is so strange. I always think of him as the world's coolest grandpa.
Right? And he was quite handsome!
It's incredible to me how the American experience has changed since this video was filmed. What a different world we live in now.
Well in the intervening years there has been a lot of socialist schooling performed, and a socialist industry always produces a poor quality product.
This was at least as late as 1971.
"All a question of good and evil"
Chomsky: absolutely
"And that's something for you and Ellsberg to decide?"
Chomsky: no I think it's something for the American people
"Well I think it's for the Governemnt and our laws to decide" 😬
God, I can't believe how young Noam Chomsky is here.
He is 43 there.
He is 162 here
@@jamesa2482LMAO
lol the last guy asking questions interrupted virtually every answer to his questions basically 2 seconds in.
I've never seen anyone interrupt Chomsky so many times. Wow
Very polite Noam despite the rude pathetic interruptions
Chomsky crushed it. William Rusher actually wrote a book called how to win arguments. How ironic.
Very honest, so wise, very caring ... person.
People arguing Chomsky have to cut him off continually and try to talk over him because their arguments have no merit.
Omg I remember this show
Chomsky an absolute legend
He's not exactly young here. You have to realize, this guy has been famous (or at least noteworthy) since the 1950s. As an undergraduate computer science student many years ago we were still studying his then four decades' old linguistics research impact on the design of programming languages long before I ever knew about his political work -- I saw him on the news one day and remembered the guy with the funny name from a radically different context than I had learned it. Who has that kind of career longevity, aside from former child actors? It's pretty impressive. I don't agree with a lot of what he says but I have huge respect for him nonetheless.
@Aden Lind A lot of detailed, nuanced points that I don't care to argue in a comments section. Why would you care?
Yeah Chomsky is still required reading in any compsci program in the world.
wow that interviewer kept interrupting almost immediately as soon as he chomsky started speaking. it seemed pretty rough.
God bless our Noam....
NC-you're the best. Human. Wow-how rare.
Already you can see how panicked Chomsky makes his opponents. This overconfident snooty interrogator tries to railroad Chomsky by peppering him with questions while simultaneously attempts to talk over his answers. Only makes him look foolish, afraid to deal with the replies.
Gold!. where did you get this one?.
Hey Michael Ward, wasn't he a huge influence on your education? I had never seen him as a young guy, so now I love him even more! Did you ever have a chance to be at a conference or anything where he was speaking?
I didn't know the face punchability scale was this steep.
props to chomsky for being patient with these conservatives who are all talk and rhetoric
*I ❤ Chomsky!*
Why did all the smug media personalities in the 70s act like William Buckley?
This is how you defend yourself against a lawyer who is full of his own self importance.
the last question exchange is insane
It's kind of hard to imagine this was the level of polictal discourse on national television at one point. Juxtaposing this against current day MSNBC or FOX is incredibly depressing.
Ha!
Well, not really 😔
Back in the day when people with opposing points of view debated issues face to face.
That 2nd speaker is a Perry mason wannabe🤣🤣 cross examining chomsky and getting owned at every turn😫🤣tried to cut Noam off from making his point because he knew he had nothing. Well done Noam,you caught another body🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Replace Ellsberg with Assange/Snowden/Manning, Vietnam with Afghanistan/Iraq/Syria/Yugoslavia/Ukraine/Yemen/Venezuela/etc./etc./etc./etc./etc./etc., add a few years to Chomsky, and it could be broadcasted today with just as much (if not more) relevance.
Can't believe I'm saying this but TV seemed to have integrity back then, actually featured important discussions. Now: Netflix.
Starting at 3:31; When someone asks you question after question but keep interrupting your answers they"re only interested in criticizing, ridiculing and intimidating you with a hostile attitude but he failed. Never try to verbally trip up a Professor in Linguistics :=)
3:20 That information should be brought before the American public
He is a hero, a rebel without a pause, and a grat human being!
Nailed it.
Noam Chomsky kinda reminds me of Marty McFly's dad in back to future 50's version
Title: "Young Noam Chomsky"
Chomsky in 1971: 43 Years Old & parent to a teenage daughter
Maybe the guy should let him answer the question before throwing another one at him.
Television was very different then.
Always love a show that physically seats its guests below its hosts - they didn’t even trying to hide the authoritarian intent or propagandistic elements.
I don't know why the second questioner thought Chomsky had any sort of legal training or experience as a prosecutor. He should have stuck to asking questions about the relevant case, not raising one hypothetical case after another in some misguided attempt at a 'gotcha.'
Yo he speaks on a whole another level better I wish his cadence in speed was not lost in old age the man is still brilliant but he is so hard to listen to I'm a young millennial born in 1996 so I looked up this video just for a reference of how he spoke during his younger life
Noam is probably one the few people who read them all I'm sure.
For those with ears to hear it's so easy to hear the difference between a liar and a teller of Truth
"What if, hmmm, let's see, what if Ellsberg had taken copies of the document, had dropped some of the documents while on his way to deliver them to the newspaper offices, someone else came by and slipped on the dropped documents and had broken his leg, causing a staff infection after the leg was operated upon and what if said person breaking his leg would have assassinated someone else who was planning a mass genocide but this ethically motivated assassin, who now because of the infection would die and not be able to assassinate that genocidal monster, missed this opportunity to save millions of innocent lives...would you be for prosecuting Ellsberg in that case?"
The guy at 3:30... 😝. Chomsky's grace under pressure.
ha ha, those interruptions comes from frustration
Noam Chomsky saw from the days of Ellsberg to the current case of Assange
This mans brain in must be massive wow his response were on point in a timely manner and were executed perfectly the people should not be foolish to think that they are not capable of making decisions that are affecting there daily lives we the people will stand strong in support of the right to open documentation to all
Thank you, TH-cam algorithmic overlords. Please show me MOAR NOAM
Chomsky is like Sarek...but real, and without pointy ears.
I love to ask questions and then interrupt while the person is answering. True Roman court procedure. No lo contendre.
The 2nd interviewer doesn't even give Chomsky enough time to answer the questions, he just goes onto the next one within a few seconds then speaks over him.
The format of the show was to mimic a courtroom and use interrogation tactics. How is it that I can glean this and others can’t?
