Microsoft is a pure example of absolute tyranny. The decisions are made at the top,

0:07.0

they're handed down to the next level. At the very bottom, you have the right to wrench yourself

0:13.0

to them. As soon as you start deregulating, it moves towards monopolization. That's the result

0:18.8

of handing things over to the market. That's the result of politicians being for sale. But to

0:23.7

sit here and say everything is the private's fault and everything good that ever happened was

0:27.8

because of the public and the government, that's extremely naive to say that. Classical liberals

0:32.4

would have despised, subordinating yourself to a master and most of your waking life. That's the

years, that's what my guest did today, Mr. Nome Chomsky, who also has written over 150 books. He's

1:32.6

a famed American linguist. Some call him the father of modern linguist. He's a philosopher,

1:39.8

cognitive scientist, historian, social critic, political activist. And with that being said,

Professor Nome, thank you so much for being a guest on the entertainment.

There's a view with you. So I got a lot of different notes. And I'm trying to see what angle to take

1:55.2

with you. But I'll get right into it. If you don't mind taking a moment. And for the few viewers that

2:00.4

maybe don't know you, there's a lot of interesting ways people describe you. You're described as the
