TYSVM for this! I'm hooked on learning what would never be taught in US public schools, wish it was though. So addicted to Chomsky! :)

This video should be placed as an answer to all popular videos like Bravo Channel that way more kids can learn more about important matters

[@DeweyZinnChomskyFisk]

i think what you meant to say is "thank you so much for uploading this material!"....

[@Dymdez]

I still listened to the whole thing and let me just save some people some time. Chomsky covers his standard topics with information you can find in many other of his videos, nothing really stands out except for a small discussion on his opinions of the federal reserve, Ron Paul and currency. I am hesitant to paraphrase, though. If you have speakers that are decent, you can hear 95% and understand it.

[@zapporius]

@JohnsonPollock also grab the audio from the mic in front of him. Not so hard to run it into a laptop, do audio capture there, and connect the speaker to the laptop output.

I know others have commented on the poor audio, but it can't be emphasized enough... When you're recording a video, get the mic set up properly (and try using a lapel mic), and do a soundtest beforehand. Also, get to the event a little early and set up in advance so you're not jiggering the camera around during the speech.

+longplainfirstnation I'm sure there will be someone who will make the captions for the 5 and a half hour lecture and Q&A. And if you consider how much is said by Chomsky on the entire talk, it would probably take a month for someone who already has a job.

[@brVOVds]

@Zatzzo its in apex 1:55:59 its more about The Federal Reserve Banks fractional banking system, than Ron Paul but he does mention his name there.

[@brVOVds]

@KennyTization just listen to what this man has to say use headphones works for me

[@Zatzzo]

@Dymdez do you remember where the part about ron paul is?

[@copym3]

@gunnerfan87 no! i think its from a bookshop but i forget the name and where it was. aTb A

[@candlesnstones]

where is the copy from the mic on front of chomsky without all the noise???

[@riccardo9383]

Hey, could you please tell me what did he say in the beginning that people laughed at?

[@Dymdez]

@Zatzzo Mostly his general criticisms of Ron Paul's de-regulation policy, what it would lead to (fascism, corporate tyranny, no social services) and Chomsky doesn't really view the federal reserve as a big problem, mostly a distraction from obvious problems. I really don't like summarizing chomsky, its probably best if you google "chomsky.info ron paul" or something like that. He writes about him every now and then.

[@BbdHome]

where is the part about local currency? does chomsky dismiss this idea also?

[@pierrefrederick3763]

Probably not. There are not enough books in the background for it to be his home

[@longplainfirstnation]

Terrible audio, I hope someone does captions.

[@brVOVds]

@Dymdez its true Fedral reserve bank isn't a problem its best system than we can have, Gold-standard didn't work and never will.To fight the growing poverty in USA one must distribute the money better. You can't import products from china with out creating new jobs in usa thats the main . What Government should have done is create new well payed jobs by stimulate new projects if they did, everything would have been fine you still can do it or stop importing and produce in usa

[@trevorclever7489]

me too

[@emotionalinvalid]

damn, a giant like chomsky deserves better video/audio production than in this video. I could have equaled this crappy video/audio on my crappy virgin phone.

[@KennyTization]

I can't hear him at all. Very poor recording quality

[@cott2696]

bit harsh.
