chomsky for your amazing career. continuing with president eisenhower, his famous statement about the emergence of the military industrial complex. so, we have watched decades of grotesque spending on weapons, but now we see this conflict in ukraine where tiny musicians -- munitions like stingers, javelins, switchblade drums, other types of drones, these tiny micro weapons are able to take out the -- macro weapons of the tanks, jet fighters and the naval ships. what do you make of this transition to micro warfare and its implications? >> thank you. noam: it heralds a new era of warfare, which is more dangerous and more threatening to everyone. let me just ask a slightly different question, if you do not mind. i mentioned before that we should be concerned, constantly, with what we can do and what we should do. well, one thing we should do is send weapons. there is an argument for that. ukraine is under foreign attack from a brutal military force, which has no mercy. they have a right to defend themselves. but, there

chomsky. professor chomsky, what issues -- what is on your mind these days? noam: well, there are lots of things going on in the world. right now, one of the major ones is, of course, the war in ukraine. there's many others. there are background issues. we are, like it or not, the human species, racing to imminent disaster. there are two huge problems. one is the growing threat of nuclear war. which would, basically, end modern civilization as we know it. the other is the destruction of the environment. inexorable. we know it has to be done, we are not doing it. if we do not turn that corner soon, we will reach an irreversible tipping point and it will be a matter of slow moves towards catastrophe, irrevocable catastrophe. that, in addition to what is right on the front pages, the background of it. there is plenty to be on everyone's mind. >> professor chomsky, you have been active for decades on nuclear war, economic policies, social justice, what is the progress you think you have made, or t

chomsky. if you have been interested in public policy for the last 50 or 60 years, chances are you have heard of professor chomsky, perhaps even read some of his hundreds of books. the numbers are on the screen. for those of you of the east and central time zones. 8201 for the mountain and pacific time zones. you can also send a text message. please encode -- please include your first name and your city. we also have several social media ways of getting a hold of us. we will scroll through those on the screen. i want to quote professor chomsky from one of your most recent books, requiem for the american dream. you say that some of the problems of government in the u.s. today stem from an excess of democracy. why do you say that? noam: actually, i did not say that. i quoted it. the quote was from a very important study, about 40 years ago, 50 years ago, 1975, it is the first study of the trilateral commission. the trilateral commission is an international commission of liberal internationalists

here is professor chomsky talking about one of his more recent books. major poll just came out from two research -- major polling agencies. in which they asked people, they gave people a choice of 15 serious problems, asked them to rank them in terms of urgency. divided by republicans and democrats. among republicans, the very last one at the bottom was global warming. at the top was illegal immigrants and the debt. debt, incidentally, became a problem last november 4. up until then, the debt was fine. republicans were creating a two enrich very rich people, so there was no problem. november 4, biden took it over and might use it to help others. poor people. it is not that the people who said that actually believe it, that is what they hear in the bubble in which they are contained. you listen to the murdoch tv station, fox news, read the murdoch press, and that is what you hear. when you are stuck in that bubble, that is what you believe. the real problems are illegal immigrants, terrible problem. the data suddenly became a problem. at the bottom of th

>> i am not particularly agreeing to noam chomsky for one reason.hink international criminal justice is currently overestimated. i mean, on one hand, it is progress that people think of accountability when there is evidence that war crimes have been committed. that is definitely a progress. as i said, has to become the standard. on the other hand, we are far away that putin and his inner circle are really put on trial. that requires years long investigations. we had the examples of many other cases. if you look at the record of international criminal art, -- courts, we have to say it is poor. it is poor because they did not even reach the highest ranks. that is because international law, especially the international humanitarian law, allows too much. in this case, we have to first of all prove that war crimes have been committed. as i said, there is a lot of evidence. second, we have to prove that not only the soldiers or the officers on the ground are responsible for that, but we have to go up the chain of command to putin. although there is a lot

known chomsky made it -- noam chomsky made an essay about the true tax cut american beggar billionaires is 94%. they pay nothing in tax. 94%. i'm no moderate. i have been there, done that with every group in society. american society. 94% pay nothing in tax, mega billionaires. that is sick. host: ok, james. there is news about jen psaki, the white house press secretary leaving to go to msnbc. axios is reporting she is likely leaving the white house soon for a new job at msnbc. she was asked about it yesterday at the press briefing about a potential conflict of interest in negotiating for a new job with a media outlet while still serving as the white house press secretary. here she is. [video] >> given the reports confirmed, how can you continue to be an effective [indiscernible] if you have lands to join a media outlet? >> i have nothing to announce about any conversations or any future plans. at whatever time i leave the white house i can promise you the first thing i will do is sleep and spend time with my three and six are bold who are my most important audience of all. i would say t

was a deliberate attack on a civilian object and as such, constitutes a war crime and quote noam chomsky called the bombing of art. yes, an act of terrorism made a commander wesley clark tried to downplay what they had done. there were actually 6 people who were killed as i recall. i recall certain i retired, feminine know the families. i mean think about it. this wasn't an attack on some tv tower in the middle of nowhere with nobody working there. this was the bombing of the state television headquarters in a heavily populated urban area in serbia's capital belgrade, the killing of innocent people who are working the night shift. if that's not a war crime, what is clearly the goal was to instigate terror because artist resumed this programming less than 24 hours later from a secret location. can you imagine what it was like for the people working there, knowing what had happened to their colleagues knowing they? i'd be next, isn't that the goal of terrorism? this wasn't a one off thing. any people don't know that the state television building in the major, serbian city of novi sad was a
