Listen now | How can a new generation of leftists learn from Chomsky’s practice as well as his theory? Our own conversation with Professor Chomsky on this week’s episode of Krystal Kyle & Friends reveals how important this question is to him. Chomsky hopes that his lifetime of work will provide insight into current political struggles — against corporate looting of workers’ wages, against the repression of organized labor, and against imperialism. After speaking with him about these struggles and about how the left can respond to them, it’s clear that the lessons Chomsky offers us are truly indispensable.
After watching the full episode, I think it's really concerning that everything you guys say always leads to the natural conclusion of "it's the democrats' fault". You completely gloss over the fact that Chomsky also talked about a failure of the left and the activist movement to organize, which presumably you and Krystal are part of? And yet Kyle, all you do in your videos is cynically bitch about the democrats. You never teach your audience about organizing. You never explain to them what "putting pressure" is even supposed to mean besides complaining on Twitter. You keep them angry and pessimistic...but completely fail to empower them in any way to do anything about it.
And that's not even getting into the fact that you consistently get stories wrong and spread misinformation. Even here, you and Krystal smugly dismiss the American Rescue Plan as "$1400 breadcrumbs", completely failing to explain that the bill is actually full of other far more important and substantial provisions and that we should be putting maximum pressure to get it passed.
Also, please stop talking about Gamestop. Almost everything you've said about that is either misinformation or fake news. All of the populism in it is fake. The hedge funds and the WallStreetBets leaders made a ton of money at the expense of regular people and they were always going to. It was a disgusting cult-like pump and dump that you irresponsibly supported.
Please have a bit of introspection. You're not helping the movement.
Truly amazing how brilliant a mind Professor Chomsky still has at his age. His ability to recall every bill, every player and every moment in history is astounding. If I can have a quarter of the brain capacity that he has at 92, I will be so very happy. Loved the interview and congrats to you both on your new show.Keep going !
I wish we could get a transcript of this interview, my mom is a huge fan of Noam Chomsky but she's hard of hearing. I'm struggling with the audio with normal hearing, I think she'd have a hard time understanding him. So much important information from him, thank you for having him on.
I feel more intelligent from just listening to Noam Chomsky. Alongside the late great Carl Sagan, one of the people I could just listen to for hours without even noticing any time passing by at all. Thank you guys for bringing us this interview.
I emailed him to ask if he read "Sapiens" by Harari and he replied indicating that he hasn't but was interested. I think he'd take issue with some of the things Harari said in it.

It wasn't 65K votes -- it was 42K, so what? 1/3 as many as Hillary lost by and that's all we heard about when she lost?
42K votes -- 10K in AZ, 12K in GA, 20 in WI and it's 269-269, Trump wins based upon more Republican state legislatures.
And in all 3 of those states (and many more) Biden was saved by right wing alternatives on the Presidential ballots sucking votes away from Trump with NO liberal alternative to take votes from Biden.
Where did you get 65K votes?
It's 42K - and with the caveat if there were no libertarian an other right parties on the ballots Trump would have won.
AND if there was a liberal alternative on the ballots -- Trump would have won.
(this was the case in several other states as well)

Fantastic interview! This was right up there with Jimmy Dore and Mike McCrae’s Stoned Chomsky. There is a case to be made that Noam is alligned with the CIA. His evocation of fear via nuclear Holocaust and climate catastrophe is evidence. Still, there was good chemistry between Krystal, Kyle and Noam.

One can never get enough of Chomsky. Love your show guys. It's profesional, comprehensive, and educational.

Noam is phenomenal. The dems need to make Puerto Rico a state.
Are you ever gonna have Peter Joseph on the show?
RIP Noam Chomsky's inbox
Reply to me, Kyle!!!
