00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>In the last several days, nom Chomsky's influence has remained

2
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>as vital as ever, even though to my knowledge there

3
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>had been no major new public appearances or interviews from

4
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 1>him directly. Notably, Chomsky's views on the Israel Palestine conflict

5
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 1>are once again front and center across social media. Amid

6
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>the renewed violence in Gaza, The TBS News featured an

7
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>extensive spot like on dissenting Jewish intellectuals, including Chomsky, with

8
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 1>his remarks about the tragic lack of international support for

9
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Palestinians resurfacing in viral Instagram reels and x threads. His

10
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 1>signature critique that rights in the world are distributed according

11
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>to power and wealth continues to be cited as users

12
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>debate US complicity and Western media. Bus threads and substack

13
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 1>platforms are abuzz with posts mentioning Chomsky's foundational work on

14
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>media propaganda and inequality, echoing his warnings regarding the failure

15
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>of American brokeren peace efforts and the influence of wealth

16
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>on human rights. Commentators on global issues and social movements

17
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>still reference Chomsky's career long habit of holding the US

18
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 1>government accountable for international abuses. As reported by global issues.

19
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Some have nostalgically invoked his legendary interviews in quotes, including

20
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 1>his pushback against official narratives on everything from the Kennedy

21
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 1>assassinations to contemporary geopolitics of special note. Recent essays and

22
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 1>podcast conversations like those chronicled on current affairs in Substack,

23
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 1>draw on Chomsky's analysis of reparations, social justice, and digital

24
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 1>media manipulation, demonstrating the enduring relevance of his linguistic and

25
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>political philosophy. Media critics also recall Chomsky's famous admonitions about

26
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>journalistic independence, as cited on Lawyer's Guns Money Blog, applying

27
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>those principles to the ongoing coverage of the Middle East

28
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 1>and global protests. In business news, The Trinidad Guardian revisited

29
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Charmsky's net worth and his legacy as a professor and activist,

30
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>though there are no verified reports of new business ventures

31
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>or financial activity. Public events in Cambridge in Somerville as

32
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>listed by Cambridge Day have not included any direct participation

33
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>or lectures from Chomsky in the past week. There is

34
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>speculation regarding the growing influence of Chomsky's analyzes on younger

35
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 1>activists and academics, but to date no confirmed surprise appearances

36
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>or breaking headlines out him have emerged in the last

37
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours. If you hear otherwise, definitely treat it

38
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>as unconfirmed until a reputable outlet verifies. Thank you for
