Michael, great show but like so many American's you do have a blind spot for the chaos the US causes in the world. Roger gave you sound advice to expand your reading and to open your eyes wider.
💯%
He can't he part of the western propaganda machine.
But, but.....'Merica!
He doesnt wanna read. Hes already usa biased.
Roger is wrong about Russia. The United States sided with the communists against Germany. He’s peddling propaganda.
Finally someone has the balls to speak the truth!
Yeees! 👏👏
Finally? There are MANY out there speaking the truth.
Pouring derision, you mean?
So TRUE ! HE IS our HERO in the WESTERN WORLD!
Well... He's been doing that for the last 60 years, you know?
"Every war when it starts, all you need to do is look at the history. " golden words ✨️
The truth is, every war when it starts nowadays, all you need to do is to find out if America is behind the scene!!
And then violates his point.
There's an old Buddhist piece of wisdom..."if you want to understand the present situation, then look at past events. If you want to consider future outcomes, consider the present actions."
Look at the history? In what respect?? Like when a maniac that wants to kill all the Jews and take over all of Europe invaded sovereign countries then bastions of freedom like the UK and America and France, decide to fight against that evil. Yeah look at the history indeed aditya!!
And Roger got all the history wrong. ;)
Благодарим вас Роджер за вашу позицию! Вы великий человек! Мне 29 лет и я слушаю вашу музыку,потому что мои родители слушали Pink Floyd! 🇬🇧 🇷🇺
Watched this many times, tears in my eyes. As an ethnic Chinese, with family living in both mainland and Taiwan, enough of lies the MSM has spread, enough of hatred it had caused. Unbelievable arrogance and ignorance. Thanks Roger for seeing the world with your own eyes and being brave enough to tell the truth 💖
16 years? OK. I will believe you are real. If I take you at face value, I am lead to believe, that you believe Taiwan is part of China and is not an independent nation. If this is correct, what are your thoughts on the inevitable war that China will unleash to reclaim its "wayward province "?
You’re lying
Praying for peaceful reunification let the families and friends come together these people are one ❤️
@@aggravatedassociate8237 not even Taiwan itself claims to be an independent nation. Learn some history. They themselves will tell you that they are part of China. After all, Taiwan = ROC (Republic of China). The question between the PRC and the ROC is not rather its independent or not, it's about who is the legitimate government of China. The US, UN and 180+ countries recognize Beijing as the legitimate government of China and that Taiwan is part of China.
@ Aggravated Associate I was born in Taiwan. Taiwan is part of China is a fact not just a belief. The sad history of the civil war separated two sides of the strait. We hope both side can reunite peacefully. However, if there is anyone on Taiwan island trying to separate it from China, there will be inevitable to resume the temporarily stopped civil war.
Intelligent man. The US government never keep their words: Iran nuclear deal, the Minsk agreement, the Shanghai Communique Agreement, the Paris Accord, etc.
That's Bull crap

Just saw him last night in Glendale, AZ. Amazing show. No artist puts as much heart into their show as he does. It is sad that people can "hear" Pink Floyd songs, but never actually "listen" to them. Absolutely my favorite band of all time. Thank you, Roger Waters.
I was there in glendale too, great show that moved me but also very interesting to learn more about a perspective that I hadn't been exposed to before.
you're absolutely right
Pink Floyd, if any, IS THE band to bring humanity together, *cough cough* the wall
Can I ask did he have Putin up there as one of his war criminals??
@@marky1974 My post is seven months old. Putin and pretty most of our leaders are all war criminals. The fact that we wouldn't even negotiate a peace deal with Russia makes us just as culpable. Lord knows we would have don't the same thing if China was going to make a military deal with Mexico. But we have to keep our own war machine crawling. What a better way to test our newest weapons than to use them in someone else's war.
Echoes is my favorite PF song, and to hear him quote it as his main message sent chills down my spine.
same! and actually he just spoke my favourite line of that song to describe his only ever message to the world..! wow
@@manuelguerraphotography7168 that is my favorite line as well and hit me so hard
Same here! Second verse for me... Their MOTHER, and our children.

But what would Echoes have been without Rick Wright …. Underestimated .
Respect to Smerconish for publishing some truth. Thank you Roger Waters for telling it.
Honestly I want to commend Smercornish for this, but in a way the damage has been done, Europe is suffering, there is no more trust between the public and elites, I dont think its even worth teenagers planning to go to university becuase education is compromised and had lost its value or meaning it just an elite factory.
I'm sure Roger Walters is now cancelled.
IMAGINE THIS: YOU DO AN INTERVIEW TO ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS MUSICIANS TODAY, HE DISARTICULATE YOUR RUBBISH POLITICS NARRATIVE BECAUSE YOU ARE A RIGHT-WING JOURNALIST WHO TURNS RED WHEN WATERS TELL YOU TO READ MORE, AND THEN YOU DECIDE NOT TO PUBLISH THE INTERVIEW OR WORST, YOU CENSOR SOME PARTS OF IT. WELL... HE HAD TO PUBLISH IT, HE HAD NO CHOICE, HE IS AN EMPLOYEE, EVEN THOUGH WATERS DESTROYS HIM.
@@petru4335 right wing? You think that dude is an Anarcho capitalist? You think someone who works for a big corporation believes in free markets? Lol, you also need to read a bit. Roger is only half honest and that puppet of an interviewer is a robot.
you need to read more
Very very few would dare to speak the truth, but this man has always been on the side of the truth.
And nowadays, when LIES are all we get from Media, telling the truth is so revolutionary...
I wish many others had the courage to stand up to Goebels' countless BIG LIARS
We 💜 U Roger !! BRAVO !!
I think it is worse than that. Corporate media rarely gives anti-war, anti-imperialism, anti-capitalist voices any room on corporate media. So we are all left with the impression that the topics and framing that corporate media makes room for are the only views that are correct. These media outlets have their own ideology and bias (and other corporate sponsors that are paying their bills). It is reflected in the type of discourse they allow on air. They used to allow a lot more people like Roger Waters speak their minds to their audiences. They are too afraid of losing advertisers nowadays.
hope more Heroes come forward
How do you know if he tells lies or truth. I hear full of BS… he s paid to air his ‘opinion’ and it’s really up to you to believe it but make sure to use your independent thinking, just sayin
Goebels? Joseph Goebbels?
ROTFLOL! HILARIOUS! Says the Putin troll to the CCP troll. ROGER WATERS IS A FASCIST. Putin and Xi are guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Russia and China are grossly inhumane fascist states and all fascist dictators regimes MUST DIE.
I agree with Roger- this show was worth what we paid to go… I was one of those people that may well have ‘f*cked off to the bar’ a few years ago, but I approached the show with an open mind and was blown away by Roger, his band, and the production! Well done Roger 🙌
Pink Floyd was an iconic rock band in the USSR - and still remains an iconic group in Russia. I think I won't be mistaken if I say PF music significantly influenced the mindset of several generations of Russians, even though the language barrier existed.... The freedom and justice spirit of thier music could be understood without lyrics. I am from Russia and I consider Roger Waters, being an outstanding musician, to be also the greatest warrior for peace and justice in the World. I think only John Lennon could could be ranked same scale.
Thank you Roger❤
Bravo Roger standing up to propaganda about covid terrorism and the profits the did Big Tech , Pfizer and Big Pharma corporations . It is amazing and insane how many people still watching tv , radio and maistream !!! And believing of gloriuos Usa democracy and its Israel goverment friend !
Roger Waters has always been a champion for the people.
Michael's mistake was to say China is the top of everyone's agenda. Who'se agenda? Of course the west and particularly America when there are still thousands of Native Americans that are treated unfairly from ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PLUS YEARS AGO. I live in China and see first hand how the vast majority have benefitted, how 600+m have been raised from abject poverty while in America you have a rising number of people dependant on food banks and food stamps - who is going in the right direction?
Unless you are Ukrainian it seems
The people in the Kremlin and in the CCP? Yeah, I'm sure Vlad and Xi would agree with your comment! 👍
@@meself349 do you think that if tomorrow those two people drop dead the world would change? If not, then wtf are you talking about
Lol
I respect this interview a lot more after watching the full uncut version. While I don't personally fancy the interviewer's ways, this uncut version is a lot more real and human than the edited down, butchered version on CNN.
Thanks, will check it out because this one is unwatchable. The interviewer really needs to stay out of it more.
That’s what CNN does, cuts and chews for its audience
@@loveandotherthings1455 true
@Bryan Mack , no, I don’t expect anything from anyone. The talk is about CNN and how they manipulate or highlight the voices they want their audience to hear, AND you are free to go and check what TC does in his shows and keep comparing. Geez.
I agree
I saw him in Cincinnati last month after waiting 2 years from fucking covid.
It was stellar.
Apocalyptic , dark , brutal , and very sobering.
I fought off tears for the first 3 or 4 songs because it was such a powerful performance.
I was there as well, and i was torn!!!!
Because it was such a powerful performance or because you stubbed your vagina?
Was Putin on his list of war criminals??
The show is worth every penny. One of the very best shows I've ever seen. Roger Waters, thank you!
Really ??? We had “the dark side of the moon” now we have “the dark side of Roger Waters”.
Thank you for that I will buy a ticket on Monday selling at the 02 London for June 2023.
Almost tears, thank you so much for speak it out. I’m so surprised that CNN allowed other voice!

A joy to hear the truth from a great
Musician. Thank you Roger forl
listening to your mum !
😂😂😂😂
A multi-millionaire, who is touring non-stop with 40+ year old material for big money, lecturing us about how everybody else are supposedly just doing things for profit?
Hilarious - and sad.
Oh, and China and Russia, those beacons of democracy, are 100 trustworthy?
Roger, you are a joke - and it's high time to pack it in.
He talks nonsense! Both on the economic AND the historic front.
"WW2 wasn't Germany's fault, but the West's. Germany was threatened and only did the sensible thing", Roger Waters.
Im American and agree with Roger 💯
" Do the right thing " obviously no one at cnn ever got told that
I dont watch CNN anymore or any of those mainsteam liars but Ronger Waters clip is doing several rounds on many Channels. I could not resist looking for the full version. Kudos to the CNN guy posting the whole version even though Roger kept on giving him knockouts. Thank God for people like Roger; the world might...just might escape total destruction.
It's funny you think Roger got one over Michael. Michael is way smarter and more knowledgeable the Roger could ever dream of on these issues. He's just a blowhard with a platform
His takes are fucking terrible, pure Putin/Xi propaganda, when did he become lobotomised? Must have been in the past couple of years I'm guessing he spends his time watching Jimmy Dore and Russell Brand whilst watching TV News that advertises itself as "anti-Mainstream" yet seems to do nothing but promote Russian/Chinese interests whilst telling you how terrible America is, he probably sits in an online echochamber of some sort as well.
Same here, I don't watch CNN anymore. Only watched this full interview with Roger Waters. Very few are willing to speak up and speak their mind. Kudos to Roger Waters for doing that.
Wait, what?!
He's defending the Chinese on Taiwan...? Isn't it clear that the Taiwanese don't want anything to do with Communist China? What about the will of the Taiwanese people... he's Ok to give that choice to people of Donbas but the Taiwanese...oh no, that would offend the Chinese 😱
And he talks of the Paris Declaration and in the next 10 minutes he's talking about China not being a Human Rights violater? Has he not heard of Tibet and Xinjiang? Looks like he's still stuck in his 1940s romantic obsession with communism... either that or, the Alzheimer's onset is pretty rapid...
Totally agree!
Fantastic interview, absolutely love Roger. Also much respect to the interviewer, who may disagree with Roger but does not try to shut him down, instead he listens and tries to understand his point of view. Great stuff.
we need more conversations like this in the world.
No LESS!!!!!!
@@julie5188 he has a point, but there are counterpoints of course because many of these problems are complex. So, that's the point of a conversation. Unfortunately the interviewer doesn't really expand the discussions much.
Thank you Roger Waters. Just for keeping life real!
Thank you Roger Waters !!!You are a great human being!!At least i am glad that there is still great musicians from Britain that actually read the history and knows what they talk about.!!!Your speech is so important !!
Roger is a brave guy, intellegent and openly talking about facts against massive propaganda machine.
Wait so the Great Leap Forward wasn’t deadly?
HE IS A FASCIST WHO LOVES FASCIST STATES THAT TRY AND TURN HUMAN BEINGS INTO "ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL".
"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:38-39`
Roger can be annoying when hearing Pink Floyd stories about him, but his politics are spot on. Love the guys politics.
I salute Michael for posting the full uncut interview. I would echo Roger that Michael needs to read more, and more than just western mainstream media. In today's global world, diversity means hearing from sources all over the world.
As far as I remember, Roger Waters expressed support for Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea back in 2014. I'm not sure about Rodger's opinion on Russian invasion of Ukraine (Feb 2022) but I did not hear him saying anything against it .
I know right
The only thing I knew about Pink Floyd was that it was a band from the 60s. Now I know differently. What a brilliant man this Roger Waters is. His perspective and analysis of the world as it stands today is nothing if not phenomenal.
So brilliance to you is genocide denial and shilling for terrorist regimes?
I have been listening to Pink Floyd since i was a youth, i still listen to this day, quite often actually.
If that's all you know, I can tell you that he was a total narcissistic prick towards the other band members.
It was an anti establishment punk band and they nailed it.
He is a mommas boy.
Didn’t have a dad to teach him to stand up to bully’s
Roger is so intelligent and well spoken, glad he sees beyond western propaganda bs.
There’s seeing beyond western prop and then supporting China over Taiwan. He’s gone batshit insane.
Sure he is well spoken and articulates his thoughts with a certain elegance but that doesn't mask the delusion for me
@@nickpalmer54 there is only one delusion - is that WEST is honest and don't ruin other countries by military force, especially USA forces. People killed, robbed in Iraq, Lybia, Afganistan, did you care? Does it brought them better life? No, their were brutally robbed and killed and abandoned in poor land by USA. Because of that actions, we have terrorists attacks in the Western countries, to make you wake up and understand that the lost their families, homes and now YOU(ordinary guy) will pay price for it. What else do you need to get it?
He seems very adept at propagating Chinese and Russian propaganda BS though. He's quite an asset to those two regimes.
He s paid to air his ‘opinion’, it’s just another propaganda, timing is right!!
Roger Waters didn’t sell out. Good man. The interviewer is typical mainstream.
Finally, an artist whose political insight matches his art. Tremendous respect from a fan from China.
Waters is something as rare as a great musician with a brain who is actually informed about the world and is not afraid to express his views! Kudos!
Yea ok. Just because you like his music does not make him smart
@@shaund4978 Right, he's smart because he's able to critically analyze information put in front of him and come to a logical conclusion
@@shaund4978 you are right, there is also plenty of music I like when I suspect the musicians not to be very smart, but still enjoy their music
@@TheJollyLlama875 and his conclusions are very wrong. Rodger should open his eyes on agressive Vladimir Putin's policy.
@@shaund4978 Lmao! So true.
I agree whole heartedly with Roger.
That may be a problem. Why not think for yourself?
@@AussieTVMusic He said he agrees They share the common thought . Do you think?
@@AussieTVMusic , I do think for myself, I just happen to agree entirely with what Roger said, is that a problem for you?
and now look at the million Iraqis that did NOT get killed in the war. Biased study and far from all others. More importantly more than 80% of those deaths weren't by US forces.
@@chrisgarret3285 Utter crap.

Yet he has no problem enjoying the fruits of American diplomacy from his mansion in the Hamptons

Brilliant. Food tor thought. Deep and Thought Provoking. All great artists like Roger Waters are the mirrors of their times. Like Moliere, Jon Stewart , George Orwell etc etc. Bravo to both Michael and Roger for engaging. If but for a few minutes.
He totally blew it with that Clinton story.
Best part is at the end when Rogers tells him to go and do his reading .
HA HA HA
Me 2
Waters is right though
@Basik totally agree with you!
Waters knows nothing about millions of dead since 1950 in China, under the name of "People" republic of china. So ignorance that he still says he is telling the truth? And tells others to read books ? Sigh.....🙈🙉🙊
@Basik if the Chinese didn't slaughter people from other countries, not as far as you can tell, why would you think the narrative that the Chinese slaughtered their own countrymen is true?
@Basik The program is 28 minutes and 52 seconds long,you should be able to enumerate the lies from that,yet with no surprise at all you cite exactly NONE
Didn't expect to like this, but I loved it.
Thank you very much, dear Roger for being simply an honest and decent man in this modern world fool of delusions and lies. Thank you from ethnic Russian from Kazakhstan. It's like a breath of fresh air to here that someone is still sane despite all efforts of nowadays propaganda.
Желаю тебе никогда не просыпаться в 4 утра от ракетных бомбардировок и не вывозить семью из зоны ведения боевых действий. За Зеленского проголосовало 73% избирателей, ровно столько, сколько казахов не верят в войну с рф. Удачи

Amen. The current situation is what one might expect when the western politicians are too corrupt for words, and have high hopes of never ending wars based on lies, with massive profits for a few.
Michael, thanks for posting the full video, it's such a shame that CNN skipped the important parts but not surprising. Rather than reading, listening to Roger would help a lot, he's a brilliant man and tells it straight
Love Roger waters. His music and his out look on life.
Rolling Stone refusing to interview one of the biggest names in Music tells you all you need to know about who they are
Telling the truth.. This is the hardest part for any prominent artist. Roger Waters is a champion of seeking the truth as reflected in his brilliant music for years. Thank God we have him..
I love PINK FLOYD music of my youth. and I love how the founder of Pink Floyd talks the real truth about russia ukraine conflict and truth about american president...
@Basik Notice how no one thinks you have anything valid to say? I see you have another comment about the alleged Uighur genocide" that's an odd genocide where the population INCREASES every year and infant mortality goes down🙄. The primary "source" for all that nonsense is a man who is not Chinese,does not live in China and is paid by the completely exposed NED, I mean they openly boast about doing openly what the CIA used to do covertly,which is trying to foment regime change.
@Basik you’re honestly a fool to deride those people that bothered to research the reality of the world outside our own borders; beyond the confined boundaries of corporate media discourse, with your absurdly biased narratives wrt U.S foreign policy decisions that routinely parrot the state dept.’s propaganda lines rather than investigate any conflict in earnest, especially when that news concerns a nation that has the potential to bring in just as much advertising revenue with a redscare headline to garner more clicks.
@Basik You’re also sorely mistaken if you think anyone in this comment section is a Qcultist. Last I checked those dinguses don’t even believe there IS a war going on in Ukraine, those of us that actually researched a variety of sources instead of skimming a CNN article know that there is indeed a war going on, just that it’s been an escalation of several conflicts since at least 2014, with breaches of the Minsk agreements on both sides, after 3300+ civilians were killed during the years of shelling that the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. That figure is from UNICEF btw, not a Kremlin-ran media outlet. The point roger and I believe the other commenters are trying to convey is that the situation is not a matter of black and white/good vs evil as the CNN presenter implies, because he knows his salary relies on his ability to obfuscate the truth like the partisan hack he is.
@Basik , You seem --for a political junkie--whatever that is supposed to mean to have difficulty understanding English. Waters "position" is for humanity. Not for a war machine for an Empire pretending to be a "democracy."
@Basik The TRUTH hurts huh?
More people need to listen and try to understand Roger Waters.
thanks for mentioning the losses of Russia in World War II, they don’t remember and don’t talk about it.
It should be noted & appreciated that Michael chose to post the _full_ interview under his own channel and name, despite being heavily schooled by Waters and despite CNN cutting over 2/3 of the segment on their page. Thanks for the disclosure.
The world would be a much better place if there is more people like Roger Waters who is open minded enough to think the Russians and the Chinese aren't sent by the devil.
I'm finnish and I don't hate the Russian people, I hate their government.. same with the Chinese..
Yes the people of Russia and China are hostage to their leaders as much as US citizens are. There are lots of people who unfortunately become bots of these leaders and repeat the propaganda, making the corrupt leaders job easier, but I hold out hope we may start to break through this more.
We have no particular issue with the Chinese or Russian people, just their rulers.
@@jyutzler but 1. you only know them thru, mainly, western media which is biased and propaganda driven. 2. what's the job of these rulers/governments, is it to look after the interest of it's own people and country, or to please the West? because at least 70-80% of Chinese love their own government.
@@kafkakafka516 Wait, you're going to lecture me about western media when Chinese and Russian media is literally controlled by their governments? Come on. I'm not going to argue with Roger when he calls out the West's problems but I completely agree with Smerconish when he says Roger is giving Russia and China a pass. And let's face it, people aren't exactly looking to move to those places.

I am totaly agreed with Roger.
Brave man who try to differentiate between true and untrue. Love the music … We don’t need no thought control ☮️. Also thank you for publishing the interview
As a lifelong musician.... I stay focused on the art and the creative process. I understand that Mr Waters is a complicated fellow and as far as I'm concerned....he can be however he likes... he's earned it. I just don't care to have discussions with anyone, who chooses to be verbally combative...ALL THE TIME.

I have given this video a 👍 not because of the interviewer, but of the words from Roger waters.
We all Love Roger, the way he throws profanity around like confetti. And his no bullshit attitude.
Roger is one of the few artists that step up. If you remove activism and political consciousness from art, it becomes sterile in a sort of way. Political activism results from an impulse of the soul that is not comfortable with injustice.
sure, just keep telling yourself that.
So music cant be about love or human emotions? It HAS to be about Politics?
@@thomascars1 of course it can. Read better what i wrote
"Perceived injustice" is the correct wording. The man is as wrong as he can be. I mean, the Soviets saved the world from National Socialism? Really? The Soviets who had a peace pact (Ribbentrop-Molotov) with them and were separating Poland among them and performed massacres like the one in Katyn forest? The Soviets who at the same time invaded Finland? The Soviets who, without American aid they wouldn't stand a chance against the Germans? The guy doesn't know what he's talking about. And then this "unfettered capitalism" statement! Where did he see that? If there is a reality today is OVEREGULATED capitalism (which creates many of the current lobbying problems). The man is so wrong it hurts to listen to him!
@@C_R_O_M________ brother why us waited so much time to go to war against germany. Why they did it only when the soviets were entering Berlin? Less hollywood movies brother.

@@shaund4978 People in Europe and USA do not know history of Russiaa or Ukraine. Most can not even find Ukraine on the map. They just believe mass media.

Now Ukrainians saying that Roger was telling us Russian propaganda. They always do if somebody tells the truth which they don't like.
@@timurk4000 lmao nice blanket statement "most cant find ukraine on a map" very objective and unbiased of you. I can tell you are way too emotional.

You and him should go live there together. Have fun. 😂
@@shaund4978 "factual" aka the one sided propaganda in the West. As someone who moved here, I'm blown away by how people here think what they're taught is real and what everyone else is taught is fake. Even amongst Americans, half live in one reality and the other live in another reality. Yet you still can't see that your "truth" might not be the whole story. SAD!
If he speaks a narrative that you support, it doesnt automatically make it truth.
I previously had some doubts about Roger Waters but after viewing this " interview " I now have a lot of respect for him .
Exactly, Roger Waters recognizes all people.
one of the best human being out there. he can skip the politics and live his comfortable life but he always look after the suffering of others and speaks about it.
Great advice from his mum. The world needs more mums like that so there's a greater good in the world.

@@tatianahanz9783 it’s definitely good. They are helping the people in the Donbas who would have been crushed by Ukraine and their massively build up army (with help of the west). The majority of infantry fighting against the Ukrainian military are the Donetsk and Luhansk militias. People who live in East Ukraine (or who had to flee). You don’t give af about these people and you want them crushed. So stop acting like you are this great person for supporting Ukraine. You aren’t.
Michael blushed when Roger said the Chinese didn’t invade Iraq in 2003 killing a million people. Good job Roger.
Well the US did not kill 1 million people either..
Your maths is off because you are failing to account for all of the variables except one.
And masterfully changed the subject!
The US didn't invade Tibet in 1959
dude, you deserve to read more as he suggested
Hearing Roger makes me understand him more and actually thinking I'm a lot like him. He's an amazing artist and so is the rest of Pink Floyd, much respect to him
You gotta have a clear unbiased sense of culture, history in order to be a true musician. Thanks Roger for speaking out. Great interview.
Do you mean he s NOT a musician then :)
@@recuerdos2457 go read some books. Don’t get brainwashed by your msm.
As a musician myself, i have to tell you that this is sadly not often the case. In fact concious people who cut through the propaganda B.S. and think for themselves, are rare among musicians as much as among other groups or professions. Even extremely talented and sensitive artists like Sting or Stevie Wonder, for example, are totally clueless on the Russian Ukraine situation.
@@michaelp9061 I have a book for you to read ( if you can read) -- it’s called The Little Black Book of Communism
@@musamusashi you mean the situation where a superpower bully invaded it’s neighbor murdering hundreds of thousands?
The most expensive seat in the Costa Rica show 4 years ago was less than $200. Thanks, Roger, for caring about the people.
So true - what a good point , I have been so blessed , i have not missed a RW tour since he left pink floyd ., my first RW show was july 26th 1984 and i just saw "not a drill" on the same date 38 years later !! No wi am not a rich man at all ... but i never paid more than 65 dollars for a seat up until this last post covid tour , and that ticket was 100 and man oh man was it worth it . roger has always provided a knock out top quality concert for rock bottom pricing so we were able to take the entire family . not a drill = absolutely incredible show . the last time DAVID came to town it was 3-600 dollars for NOSE BLEEDS . DG had crews working EVERY day on a hotel he was gifted by one of his 1 percenter buddies , this crew was working every day during the covid lockdown when no one else was allowed to be active , but dave and polly got a pss ? why because DG is a 1 percenter . d. gilmour and his "von trapt" wine and cheese routine should tell you where this guys head is at because it isnt anywhere about making change , DG is fat and rich he only cares for his wine and cheeses . Look into it - that guy is the reason roger was forced out of his own band, (his dirty back stabby deal he made with allen parker and why the last album has a man with a knife in his back and why it was called final cut was davids betrayal) that same fat guitar player guy is THE reason we all were denied our pink floyd- because roger has extended olive branches to DG for the group to reunite . DG is the reason we didn't get to see pink floyd (with all four guys) the big fat dumb baby . i am not amused when i see people posting " dg is the true pf - he sings better and he is a better musician if you want to see pink floyd go see DG concert ... absolute nonsense . i have seen DG pink floyd and it was bland emotionless pointless BS .... dogs of war sounds like back ground music for a 1981 episode of Miami vice . these people who post this type of attack against roger waters are clueless and here is another , ever notice ANY roger fans going on PF / daves content and trashing DG ?
Such an enlighten human being and one of a kind. Go on Roger. Peace brother.
He's absolutely ignorant and delusional! The Soviets saved the world from National Socialism? Really? The Soviets who had a peace pact (Ribbentrop-Molotov) with them and were separating Poland among them and performed massacres like the one in Katyn forest? The Soviets who at the same time invaded Finland? The Soviets who, without American aid they wouldn't stood a chance against the Germans? The guy doesn't know what he's talking about. And then this "unfettered capitalism" statement! Where did he see that? The man is so wrong it hurts to listen to him!
@@C_R_O_M________if you cannot seperate your mind from what you have been told and enter the realm of truth, you cannot form a true opinion. capitalism is ultimately oppressive, and is the fault of many problems we face today.
@@alexferanna "Capitalism is ultimately oppressive".
>>In order to claim such absurdity, first you need to clear your mind on what "capitalism" really means. By all the Austrian Economists I've read (and read all of them), capitalism is predicated on freedom of choice and association between trading parties. It so happens that the propaganda that was the main characteristic and, in reality, an invention of socialism (more specifically of the Bolshevics from whom, their ideological cousins the Fascists and National Socialists copy pasted everything - that's according to Hayek a contemporary of both and a genius), has created a completely reversed reality for the economic illiterate that don't know or understand that capitalism is REAL DEMOCRACY which allows voting 24/7 with your feet and money. You are ignorant beyond belief and like every ignorant person you are stifled by your Dunning-Kruger notion of "I know better" (without ever reading any of the counterarguments that exist). What's FUNDAMENTALLY OPPRESSIVE is socialism/fascism/communism and national socialism. Free markets are, by definition, a voluntary organization of trading among peers.
@@C_R_O_M________ bold of you to assume i haven’t read opposing sides. if almost two thirds of the us population have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table for their family, you can be rest assured capitalism is not in their best interest. your “free market” excuse is meant to benefit those who can afford to play the game, not those who spend their lives lining the pig’s pockets.
@@alexferanna what have you read? Have you read Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, Hazzlit, Bastiat, Von Bawerk, even Friedman, Sowell, Williams (with the later 3 not really Austrian Economists)?
Giving me a vague example of working people and a vague association on why they wouldn't want capitalism, says nothing of your understanding of the system which, again, is predicated on volunteerism and free trade and association with peers. Capitalism is so free that you can even get your buddies together and form a collective. Good luck doing the opposite under barbaric and totalitarian socialism. So what are you talking about?
Keep speaking the Truth Roger! Thank you 🇨🇦
Waters knows his sh*t. Brilliant humane man.
Hats off to Roger, unlike the general public he is very well informed
He’s absolutely not.
@@endtimes814 why would there be any need for analysis? He flat out rubbished the idea that , a country who ran sweat shops that use child slave labour, who are currently treating covid stricken people like cattle. China are huge violators of human rights. He’s clearly too wired to the moon and far too busy pointing the finger at the west to know what goes on elsewhere. I think people need to remember he was the bass guitar player for Pink Floyd, his political opinions aren’t worth any more than the average man on the street, but fans just eat up whatever shit he feeds them because he can write good songs. People should also be wary of hanging on the words of a man who absolutely never refuses to accept that he could be wrong about anything, which is part of the reason he can’t maintain relationships, because he has to be right about everything.
Roger the "great" is so awake and was born with a rare talent. If your no where near awake then you will never understand him. Roger don't stop being you! Thanks for all the great music and lyrics! You have no idea how great you are! You see and make so much sense what's going on in this corrupt world. Always do the right thing!
😍👍🌓
Putin needs to be criticized along with Biden, or else Roger Waters' socialism is selective.
18:40, fantastic story about Rogers’s mum & the advice she gave him aged 13.
“You’re going to struggle with things all through your life. My advice is read everything you can. Then, all the heavy lifting is done. They next bit’s easy, Roger. Do the right thing”.
He's been reading a bit too much chinese propaganda unfortunately. He might be to far gone
He's not giving anyone a pass- he's stating what happened and how to avoid this in the future.
He just gave China a pass... The most prolific violaters of human rights in the entire history of mankind. They killed 80 million of their own people and he denied it. He's a disgusting pig.
From Moscow: THANK YOU, mr Waters, and thank you, mr Journalist, for not cutting stuff out ❤❤Amazing! When will people start thinking critically ?! Not many enough them listen to Pink Floyd, i guess. And want to just cosume. Thank you from the bottom of the heart.
Be aware of anyone who views himself as a "liberator".
Roger Waters, a great human being!
a great nothing in the end.
Go Roger, give him some facts and he falls apart and wants to joke. Imagine if people like Roger were in power the world would be in a better place. Ha ha, "Who's Hilary, didn't he climb Everest?"
He would make a fantastic president, imagine the establishment establishing sucj a popular and principled figure, it would be RIP for the legacy media hybrid establishment
The oblivious Americans who truly believe that propaganda exists everywhere than USA😂🤦♀️🤦♀️
Go Roger !!!
Very spot on !!!
What a good interview. Thank you Roger for speaking the truth.
@0Jebus0 You are completely disconnected from reality...Not even worth elaborating on such ridiculous statement...Educate yourself...
@@stralestrale47 Useless comment. Either respond with the substance, or keep it to yourself. Russia HAS signed treaties and stated NATO is not a threat to Russia. This is well document and you can find troves of records on that with a low effort search. Take your own medicine...educate yourself.
@0Jebus0
NATO attacked Serbia and Libya. You say defensive alliance?!
@0Jebus0 NATO has broken treaties so of course Russia will not trust them
@0Jebus0 you discuss it from your perspective and I am a Romanian, so very much anti-Russian military, pro-NATO and all that. BUT, to be fair, if you look at the map, there is no coincidence about Georgia and Ukraine entering into talks with the West to join the NATO alliance. It is a strategy of the US to contain Russia, who is an autocracy/dictatorship, always was and has 50% of worlds nuclear weapons. Taiwan is also a similar case, where following the civil war in the 40's Chiang Kai-Shek retreated to that island with what was left of his army. That was an opportunity for US to have a ally right up China's (whatever body part you prefer). So you can see a strategy pattern here. When the Russians moved into Cuba, we all know what happened, it wasn't Mexico, was Cuba but was close enough (watch the map) and they had to get out with their missiles, otherwise threat of nuclear war was rampant. SO IT DOES MATTER THE GEOGRAPHICAL PROXIMITY. Russia being contained, as far as I am concerned, is a good thing, you cannot rely that a Russian dictator (in this case Putin) will not go bonkers with absolute power wanting to make history and nuke his enemies while in his 3 km underground 10 year survival bunker. This containment strategy makes it a lose-lose scenario for sure, with no certainty of being able to anihilate your opponent before he does. But Roger Waters looks from a humanitarian standpoint, thinking we can all be reasoned with and I believe this is where his mistake is. NOT ALL LEADERS CAN BE REASONED WITH. Some do go mad with having absolute power. Did that shade some light into your rethorical question?
Nice!! Been waiting all weekend for this release and it did not disappoint. It would be phenomenal to get a longer interview with him.
This video is already the most viewed on Smerconish's channel, by far.
Credit to these two for heated yet polite and understanding and courteous conversation.
What more is needed? Its obvious that Waters is a flaming hypocrite who got rich off and lives safely in a free society while praising hyper corrupt war criminals and mass murdering fascists who imprison, poison and assassinate those who dare criticize them. Everybody in free societies is nauseated by him. Thats why the only ones who praise him are the low paid Russian and Chinese trolls who live on their knees with mouths wide open for the tyrants who oppress their own people.
Check out his super long interview with Joe Rogan
love you Roger (❤️✌️From Palestine)
This was so enlightening. What a great convo.
i’m actually impressed that CNN really didn’t chop much out
This channel is not CNN :)) Wait and see what will be on it :))
@@edwardgr1698 i’m talking abt the 8 minute version, thought there would be a lot more content in this one that they left out. but most of the big points were in there
I think that CNN executives probably think this makes them look good by "Exposing Waters bigotry and RussoChinese propaganda" or some bs like that.
It did chop more than half.
Because Roger Waters have the caliber to destroy CNN reputation if they censored his views.
An honest and a courageous musician . What a rarity of our times !
remember, thats all he is.... an artist with a big mouth putting money in his own pocket & making ZERO difference cause he simply doesnt care about "us & them".... he cares about roger
Not rare, plenty of us... they just don't put us on the radio or on the news and we don't have "Roger money" to globally promote ourselves. People have to go looking for us and most don't.
@@ragingchimera8021 maybe you're just not as good as Roger?
@@ragingchimera8021 I think it is fair to say that he is using the platform he has (thanks to his music) to speak what we think as well. Is that fair to say ?
"WW2 wasn't Germany's fault, but the West's. Germany was threatened and only did the sensible thing", Roger Waters.
Deepest appreciating for Mr Waters saying the truth to the world who are unable to understand it.
as usual Roger is absolutely right!
Roger is SPOT ON, way to educate the man Roger!
A great credit to Roger Waters for his civil courage and willingness to tell the truth. The world needs just such people.
Love him but sounds like he fell for the government's Covid stats. That disappoints me.
Roger Waters simply revealed himself to be a flaming hypocrite who got rich off and lives safely in a free society while praising hyper corrupt war criminals and mass murdering fascists who imprison, poison and assassinate those who dare criticize them.

He was telling his own opinions, not the “truth”.
@@Harry-mu5xl You have to get out of the corporate media to find the truth. Something you haven't done yet.
