oof. maybe i haven't watched him in a while but was colbert always this much of an establishment hack? this was more like a interrogation than his normal light hearted interviews.

@Eric Wood 'Pro life' includes all lives, INCLUDING (but not limited to) the unborn. Unfortunately, the phrase has come to mean 'pro death' in every other case.
@Eric Wood The word 'pro life' is a label Evangelical 'Christians' throw around. They are not good people, and their voting habits have resulted in the deaths of millions, and have given us Trump. They're always 'pro death penalty', often support torture and oppose social programs that save lives, etc. etc.. No need to go on because, if you call yourself 'pro life', chances are you'd never listen to me anyway. That's just the reality. I am truly pro-life, meaning I care about ALL life.
@Eric Wood Just stay away from me. After being raised by Evangelicals, I know from whence I speak. Your language gave you away, and you made 0 effort to hide your sickness. You are PRO DEATH just as I had assumed.
@Eric Wood I suspect, like most Evangelical 'conservatives', you probably have a meth addiction (porn addition, etc.) that you hide under layers and layers of religious fraudulence (I have NOTHING to hide). Remember, I have known people like you for over a half century.
@Abdul Khader Oh no, she’s very much alive. Maybe SWATI DAS was saying that the Democrats threw away a good candidate by not investing more in Congresswoman Gabbard
Still can't really believe this is Colbert after watching it a couple times. He had her on for one purpose only: to attack her. He threw in the last question to be cute.
I wish he had just stopped after the Colbert Report. That was a brilliant character, now he just seems to get more and more steeped into the lefts establishment that seems to be agitating for divisiveness across the country more than anything else when it comes to the media they put out.
He knows. He use to criticize the Republican party for it all the time. But now being anti war is conflict of interest for Democrats so he needs to uphold their interest or else he doesn't get his Shekels. Colbert is a sellout.
Thumbs up on this video are for sincere and courageous Tulsi standing up for peace and the people! Thumbs down on this video are for corporate tool Colbert shilling for the military industrial complex!
I don’t think Biden will be any better than Trump, He will be a war monger. Things aren’t going to be get better whatsoever. Hopefully Tulsi will be become a beacon of hope achieving support as the leading nomineee in 2024!
You should have never expected anything from him from the beginning. He is the face of establishment Democrats. Tulsi is a moderate so he has to try and take her down.
Was watching to expect some outlandish stuff from Colbert. No, he seemed to be expressing his concerns and got her good responses. Was a good interview
"The American population doesn’t know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know"....Tulsi is a hero for speaking truth to power ❤
Because they get their news and info from CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox, NPR, PBS, NYTs, WP. It's designed to ensure Americans remain the most propagandized serfs in the world.
She needs these questions to get her ready. She did well with these questions and answered them very well. Congrats for her and I'm glad he asked her these questions and hegot straight answers from her.
@@matthewatwood1060 She has a position on EVERYTHING else. She just REFUSES TO PRETEND that Our Foreign Policy DOES NOT DIRECTLY DEBILITATE Our Domestic Policy.

@ Not gonna bother?! My dude...there are MORE PROGRESSIVES running in 2020 than there has EVER BEEN BEFORE! Donating $1 to EACH OF THEM is the BEST WAY TO SPIT IN THE ESTABLISHMENT'S FACE! Denying them a place on the debate stage is the Establishment's ultimate goal because it LITERALLY ELIMINATES OUR OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR AS MANY ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT PERSPECTIVES AS POSSIBLE! If Yang is sabotaged, as Bernie was in 2016, you WILL NOT HAVE THE OPTION to vote for 'Yang-like' policies, if THE ONLY CANDIDATES LEFT STANDING are THE NEOLIBERAL CENTRISTS like Biden, Booker, Harris, Gillibrand, Buttigieg or O'Rourke! The BEST CHANCE we have to FIX OUR COUNTRY...is to PROP UP ALL OF THE CANDIDATES who ACTUALLY WANT TO FIX OUR COUNTRY! That means Yang...Gabbard...Williamson...Gravel...Bernie...and for the most part, Warren, ABSOLUTELY NEED TO BE ON THE DEBATE STAGE! The Corporate candidates will have little chance to survive the debates if WE FORCE THEM TO FACE-OFF on the debate stage with ALL of the Progressive candidates.
Buda Bap Beats Tulsi's creepy right wing cult affiliation though would be a problem if she won the primaries. I love her stance on foreign policy but there's no way she would win the presidency. A vote for her will be a vote for Trump. America wouldn't elect a member of Camp David or Scientology anymore than it would someone who's part of the SIL. Bernie needs to parrot her foreign policy beliefs because clearly she's correct and her foreign policy views are popular on both sides but Republicans especially would never support someone in a cult with directions from their leader to insert themselves into governments around the world. You can see, she went on Tucker and he was all supportive of her- as if he doesn't know about the cult stuff. So, all these republicans on the thread of course are supportive of her too cause the Fox News hosts told them to be. Fox is terrified of Bernie because he is the most popular in the polls so they're trying to split the progressive vote by acting like they support Tulsi and Yang (who isn't progressive but people say so). Then when Tulsi beats Bernie cause progressives split the vote, it will be non-stop 24 hr "Fox breaking news" reports on Tulsi's continued ties to the cult. There's enough info to give them a new story a day. So of course CNN and MSNBC will talk non-stop about Fox attacking Tulsi for her cult affiliation, Trump attacking Tulsi for her cult affiliation and in doing so giving their viewers more info about her ties to this right winged cult. Tulsi would absolutely lose. She would be done; MSM will destroy her like they did Hilary. Splitting the progressive vote will get Trump re-elected. A vote for Tulsi will be a vote for Trump. That's just the reality- I'm very, very liberal- and the more I learned about the cult and her ties to it, it creeped me out. Bernie2020
Well, get ready to keep waiting because the MIC is not about to allow you to have her or anyone like her as a choice on any ballot! This "show" is only meant to make it "look like" they gave everyone a fair shot. They don't!
Tulsi needs a 130,000 individual donors to stay in the debates. If you want her voice in the debate you can donate as little as $1 and count as an individual donor. secure.actblue.com/donate/tulsi-debates?refcode=190626tw-update
@@Norwegianization Well she lost, but the media and the DNC establishment very much rigged it against her. Of course that's how politics has been for a while now though.
Zero depth from Colbert. Tulsi should have been on MUCH longer! He is not equipped to have an in-depth interview with someone like Tulsi who brings so much experience to the table.
I didn't see Colbert's questions as an attempt to undermine Ms. Gabbard. I'm sure that he was simply putting out there what her critics would charge her with. This interview gives her a chance to clearly state her position.
I feel like the bias was towards his own beliefs. That was a good point about "If we don't intervene, China and Russia will". And she said she won't intervene for regime changes that enact and force democratic views, but instead just strengthening the relationship by helping only from what they ask of the US.
nucksfordacup Force democratic views? Read some history of US intervention, because you sound like a dunce. The US has overthrown democratically elected governments to put in place its own dictator puppets, time and time again. In fact, the US is trying to do it again in Venezuela. Maduro is not a popular leader, but he was elected through a democratic election. Plenty of US presidents who weren’t popular, but were elected through democratic elections. Facts. They do the body good.
I loved how calm and articulate she remained. I think Colbert also remained on point. His views obviously differ from Gabbard's, but that's okay. This is nothing compared to what Gabbard will get down the road, especially if she progresses through the debates or becomes the Democratic candidate in 2020. I wish she'd gone a step further and discussed how what she sees the U.S. involvement in U.N.-led interventions. As for Russia and China intervening if the US doesn't... It takes two to play proxy war.
She's stupid if she thinks withdrawing from the world's conflicts will make the US safer (unless they're the conflicts the US creates). But allowing weapons sales and throwing shade to war criminals so the outside world can fester while the savings buys Americans health care will definitely make it less safe. Hippy dippy yoga nonsense.
Tulsi just oozes a calm strength with nerves of steel, probably forged by actual combat. She has extreme patience in dealing with these establishment talking heads and their idiotic questions. I recommend watching her appearance on The View. I just love the way she makes her points so eloquently and confidently, obviously speaking from the heart. She is the real deal!
Get it Tulsi! I’m a little irritated Colbert frames his questions like corporate media but she cuts through that shit like a pro so I guess it’s all good.
If the msm is trying to gas light progressives into supporting interventionalism and even cia backing of isis...then maybe they are gaslighting people about David Duke also ;) Just saying. Bannon is a bit of a clown, the other name I dont know, but David Duke is a good man and not some crazed violent lunatic...
Just saying David Duke is a POS. White supremacist trash gives himself and those who support him a bad name. Whites are not victims and they are not superior. They did not create civilization. You are not facing genocide when women do not want to mate with you. STOP WHINING.

@Nathan Eapen I know...Saw a ray of hope in her..But she is honest, compassionate and smart.... Qualities which are supposed to be in a leader, but which are not supposed to be in a President/prime minister.. Too good to be POTUS
My thoughts exactly, I found myself thinking back to the time when he tore the Bush administration apart for the Iraq war during the correspondents dinner.
What a biased interview. Is Colbert really that naive about U.S. military intervention? And a “why does David Duke support you?” question? Disappointed in Stephen.
this is what made me not a fan of him anymore, he lost tons of support her, even my sister who isnt into politics doesnt respect him anymore, anyone with a brain can see through this trash. Tulsi 2020
@SecularLiberal people like David Duke are actually a lot more thoughtful and interesting than the corporate Zionist media would lead you to believe. chickenhawk shills who support war in Iraq, Libya, and Syria are considered "respectable" while Dr Duke is supposedly the worst person because he was in the KKK as a teenager, tho he has not directly ever harmed anyone or advocated violence
@SecularLiberal have you actually heard him speak? Here he is having a friendly conversation with a black man ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dNwevK4_UpE.html ...so much for being racist. He left the KKK because of his intentions to make it open to women and more people, away from violence and they wouldn't go along. As far as being anti-Semite, he's only pointing out facts that many Jews don't even deny, that they control everything. Many brag that they do and it's something to not be ashamed of. But in the PC culture world, any facts that show Jewish supremacy = anti-semitism, which is dumb as shit. I'm not saying I agree with him on everything, I think he's a bit of a bible thumper prude but to say he's completely full of x bad words just makes you sound like you're completely full of shit, parroting it from where you've heard it everywhere else just so you're on the pc bandwagon.
I'm with you! As a veteran, I support Tulsi 1000%. Time to end the horrible war industry control of America. We spend $4 billion a month to keep our failed-for-20-years strategy in Afghanistan. Absurd on the surface...Tulsi is that extremely rare politician that goes up against the war machine...and gets smeared for it by the MSM...CNN, MSNBS, The New York Times, etc. did all they could to spread misinformation about her. The war industry and MSM are not our friends!
Because the President of the United States the most powerful and influential elected leader should not meet with and therefore legitimize an illegitimate and brutal dictator, you can still negotiate but they should never be given that legitimacy, that the President of the United States met with them
@@James-iw1uo Complete baloney...the presidents considered the greatest by the American people: JFK. Eisenhower, Reagan, Roosevelt all advocated for meeting adversaries, and in many cases actually met them. That is leadership. Period.
@@changingworld7467 Was Donald Trump a great President when he met with Kim Jong Un? No because he didn’t accomplish anything. The regimes we would be negotiating with are not regimes like the USSR or the China which were confident enough in their stability that they could make concessions and work towards actual progress. Now regimes like those in the North Korea and Syria which we would be negotiating with are so unstable that they don’t sit down with any intent to make change (because that would cause them to collapse) they do it to stall their inevitable fall and when elected leaders meet with them all it does is give them oxygen. I’m not saying don’t talk to them ever but democratically elected leaders provide legitimacy which now does nothing but keep evil regimes alive.
@@James-iw1uo Assad and his family have been in control far, far longer than any Western 'negotiator'. Your comment would be more apt if you were talking about America.

@@Petertuske If the DNC, RNC, and corporate controlled congressmen didn't control elections the way they do I wonder how many people would actually be Republicans or Democrats given the current state of the parties.
@@Petertuske Obama was a warmonger. He didn't deserve that nobel peace prize, has blood on his hands and you could easily make a case that he and everyone who was complicit with this military shitshow dating back to Bush jr., Clinton, Bush sr. and Reagan should be put on trial. I can say all this, and say that Michelle Obama's identity, even if she did happen to be a trans woman, don't weigh at all in my conscience because I am not childish enough to buy into conspiracy theories and smears of people I don't like(not a Russiagater either), especially when the facts are enough. Now, I challenge you to say the same for the dude who invaded Syria, bumped up drone strikes over 100%, tore up the Iran deal(and is now desperately trying to get something weaker, hilariously), shut down a resolution to stop the US from aiding in a genocide Yemenis and just pardoned a war criminal.
Colbert showed just how shallow and worthless he is. Tulsi showed what speaking from the heart is. The best part, however, is reading the comments posted here. People see the difference and are sick and tired of the tripe MSM in all of its manifestations continues to spread. Thanks to all who support peace.
why is it so hard for america to admit it has been the bad guy and will continue to be if it doesnt change. god we should be able to want to fix are flaws that is what being a patriot is
Well if you were someone accumulating evidence about when media figures advocate for foreign military interventionism, this episode of Colbert Show would be another example. Notice the common thread is NOT left/right, it is pro-war vs. anti-war or pro/anti foreign interventionism. Trump gets called a racist puppet of Putin and progressive anti-war candidates like Tulsi are painted as uncaring about war crimes committed by Assad. One point of disagreement with Tulsi is whether the chemical weapons attacks are a hoax or not. The White Helmets are NOT neutral and could likely be fabricating it. Reminder that BOTH Iraq wars 1 & 2 were based on hoaxes; Kuwaiti babies killed in incubators and lies of collaboration gained from torture with missing WMDs. These hoaxes led to the Iraq wars that killed tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians. Now the so-called chemical weapons attacks are used to justify invasion of Syria. Not buying it myself. Tulsi may be trying to avoid seeming paranoid, but it seems when it comes to hoaxes used to start wars she may have a case of amnesia.
@@devilmaycare5311Tulsi mentioned the WMD hoax in her CNN interview and if I remember correctly she also did not categorically agree to the chemical attack allegation on Assad and instead said that if investigations prove so then he should be tried accordingly. She handled the question a bit differently here.
For starters, you should be suspicious when the line of questioning leads towards less nuance rather than more. Notice how Tulsi is constantly fighting to express the nuance of her Syria views while Colbert is subtly attempting to make them more black and white. Then look at which side of black-and-white he leans on. And the last guilt-by-association question is just total bullshit.
She handled that interview like a champ. I have almost never heard Colbert hammer a guest with questions like that, and even still she came out looking great. She answered every question truthfully, not dancing around anything, and really showed people where she stood, and why they should stand with her.
Yeah, compare this interview with the one he did with Trump. With the latter, he only threw softballs at best. What does that tell us about Colbert? (Clue: follow the money)
I love Tulsi Gabbard. Colbert should be ashamed of himself. I'm 100% sure he wouldn't ask someone like Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris these types of questions
@@MAC-vi7fy The thing is, maybe we stop killing innocent women & children so there won't be an ISIS in the first place? Or maybe we can stop arming ISIS by stopping the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia? Just a thought.
@Mr Genius IF that was the case, I'd actually have expected him to have been similarly harsh to the other hopefuls he's had on. Beto O'Rourke, Amy Klobuchar and most of the primary candidates have no business running for president, they don't offer anything new, interesting or even especially transformative and should be nailed for that. I am all for being tough on everyone, and that includes progressives(even if he is a lot better than every other senator in his anti-interventionism, Bernie should be nailed for not being openly pro BDS for example), but most of the unintentional joke candidates get softballs. I have yet to see Beto O'Rourke give a good answer on anything
It’s insane that I’m sitting here thinking wow. A straight-talking, honest, smart politician that says what I think she genuinely believes. Wtf is wrong with politics now?
Totally! That's such a loaded question, why even ask it?? Does he really expect people to say "yeah, thanks for bringing that up. I DO support Nazis". C'mon Colbert
I think she's better off without Sanders (No hate on Sanders, my utmost respect goes to him but he went a bit towards Identity Politics in which is placed in the No-Go Zone in my books). She sounds like she knows what she's doing. P.S. Im not an American.
There's nothing wrong with two people having a mature discussion. Colbert is asking her questions that many Americans would want to ask her if they were interviewing her. I thought this interview was great because I was able to see both sides of the discussion. I think Tulsi Handled herself well and I like her ideas at the same time, I do see why someone would rather see America be the police of the world compared to China or Russia.
Thumbs up to this video because the way Tulsi answered all the gotcha questions the corporate shill Colbert threw at her! She handled them like a BOSS!
I thought it was appalling too. Colbert is a release for me of pent up frustration re Trump, but that's it. The whole liberal comedian crowd is so obviously establishment in today's context and so not worth watching much, but maybe that's a good thing for alternative comedians-with-politics. Watching Jimmy Dore, especially the live shows, is often hilarious.
@@aiden359 I gave you a thumbs up on your thumbs down because I get what youre saying, even though I gave the video a thumbs up to promote Tulsi. Can go either way. I went with trying to up Tulsi's mojo! But his questions and whole uptight demeanor sucked. Dude has issues! And i used to like him
She's definitely a BOSS!! A SANDERS/GABBARD ticket would be unbeatable..IMHO. They bring so much passion and truth to the interviews. My only critique... inform the masses of all the wars we're currently in. And how we could police the world jointly with the UN. And how Saudi Arabia dropping US bombs on schools for the blind/deaf make us less safe in the world. And on a side note... June...you are absolutely stunning!
@Mohammed Patel That shouldn’t be allowed. Every country only allows national born people to run for president. I’d rather America not be the experiment that changes that.
@@DHundrethMonkee haha! Why do you think they just made lynching a federal crime? Remember what Papa Bush said? "If the American people knew what we'd done, they'd chase us down the street and lynch us." Remember what Hillary said? "If he (Trump) wins, we'll all hang from nooses." They know.
The great thing that has come out of social media. People get firsthand information and learn to make up their own mind. Btw, second disappointment of the week, after John Oliver ignored the AIPAC and Omar drama. These guys are just as bought as the politicians and the Golden Globes.
@dood poop - Exactly! I wasn't sure whether to "like" or "dislike" the video, since I love how Tulsi handled herself, but I *hate* Colbert and his dishonest smears. A "dislike" might be interpreted as disliking Gabbard, or a "like" as liking Colbert. So I ended up just not voting at all!
@@suzanne2 hey, did you guys catch the WWG1WGA at the Golden Globes? During the tribute to Jeff Bridges. Some say this, the vaccines, and the Figi Water were signs that the Alliance had won that area.
It wasn't a hit job. He was very respectful & asked legit questions. Quit being such a fanboy. Your hate & cult-like mentality will only turn people AWAY from Tulsi.
Dang Tulsi Gabbard is actually impressive, only knew about her today. She really stands out as a true politician for the people. A war veteran, congresswoman, and a strong advocate for peace and cooperation.
Wow, that was a bizarre interrogation, not an interview. I've watched Colbert for years going back to his Comedy Central show, but I didn't recognize him here. He sounds like his brain blew a gasket, repeating hit-piece talking points someone typed up on the cards.
You'll likely start noticing more of that after you've seen this: he's been heading in this direction slowly but steadily for a long time now. Almost everything exciting or original about him has slowly been fading away, making place for a weary kind of cynical approach, happy to make the same old tired Trump jokes again and again cause it makes the people clap.
@@davidbedford7835 It sure seems like Colbert is angling for that. Tulsi is easily the strongest candidate Democrats have. But the media and party establishment would rather have 4 more years of Trump, than a true change candidate like Tulsi or Bernie in the White House.
Good catch! Yes, that struck me too as awfully naive and just awful! He is a big comic book (hero/villain) fan. Seemed like that was influencing his thinking there. But, um, he IS an adult.
Yea he's a pos and trying to trip her up by giving the US the high ground... When he himself later admits it's not for the force of good, but because if we dont do it other countries will and we'll lose power.
Compare this with his interview of Kirsten Gillibrand - very instructive. Did Colbert lead with highlighting her past as a lawyer defending tobacco company Phillip Morris' denial of connection btwn smoking and cancer? No, he gave her a comfortable platform asking what her first act as president would be, set her up to contrast herself with Trump, asked about how she will unite us around shared values, etc... The good thing about this is how sloppily the whole thing is executed - hopefully the clumsy attempt at propaganda backfires and expands the audience for Gabbard's analysis.
Honestly, thanks for leaving a constructive comment. I love Colbert, and still do, but I see his flaws. His foreign policy, which is on full display here, is probably his furthest right position. Anyhow, everyone else is just yelling "Corporate shill" and getting like 400 likes. You actually detail a real problem-- how Gillibrand and Tulsi were treated differently-- and gave actual examples. Still, though, I don't think he's doing this as some form of propaganda. These beliefs are internalized, but I guess that's what makes it so scary really. Good on you though for actually offering constructive feedback.
John Edwards Funny, all I thought when reading the comment was “corporate shill!” 😂 😂 😂 Are you seriously defending a guy who mercilessly attacked Bush for his agenda (largely as pertains to foreign policy btw) on the Colbert Report? That was the basis of the whole damn show which made his name! Do you not see the hypocrisy... and irony? 🤦♀️
Tulsi is amazingly patient, polite, and to the point-especially when asked brain-dead questions from somebody who is obviously either paid off, or brain-dead.
Thumbs up for Tulsi, but thumbs down for Stephen. Tulsi has a very strong threshhold for being asked the same bullshit questions again and again and still staying calm.

@@SelfReflective I would agree with that but WWI and II were a long time ago in a very different context as for Bosnia and Kosovo, I do believe those had a positive impact, but when you consider how many negative impact the other interventions had, the totals are just staggeringly awful. I think we lost our way, not that we were ever anywhere great at that. And I don't just mean the US but also Europe (where I live), Russia, and probably, soon, China. I don't think interventionism can be a positive force as long as corruption infects the whole process. I would also require that any president that launches an intervention pays upfront all the costs of that, including the costs of healing vets... too easy to pass the bucket to the next president.
@@schloops8473 Fair enough, but I still wouldn't come upfront and say every intervention is bad. I'm sure many people would wish the US had intervened in Rwanda, for example.
I just scrolled through all of the comments. More than 85% were in support of Tulsi and annoyed with how Stephen Colbert showed his obvious bias against her. Go Tulsi! The way she deals with these tough questions further proves her qualification to be our President.
I hope you are right mate. I support Tulsi because my family is in the third world and dont want them bombed by the USA. I am just dumbfounded why Americans support war candidates and killing people from the third world so much. Are they addicted to killing ?
@beanie0112 It's been sickeningly obvious that Colbert is just another establishment hack since 2016. 90% of his material is just whining about Trump and Russia, just like the rest of the democratic establishment and corporate media. Zero interest in examining why Hillary was a horrific candidate or why we don't have party that stands for peace or that stand for regular people instead of their corporate donors.

How? He said " I don't know if the US should be the world police" He painted a perfect picture of what would happen if the US steps away and leaves it all to China and Russia The US economy would be destroyed and violence would break out in the country
@@topranked5465 The only thing that the US would be "stepping away" from under a president like Tulsi are neocon regime change wars like we had in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and are now threatening in Venezuela -- wars and coups that are disastrous to the people in those countries and to Americans, and benefit no one but the corporations and vested warmongering elites.
Top Ranked this country went around destroying Latin America and devastating its people to turn them into a slave class- even Abraham Lincoln said that was the goal of the war with Mexico- slavery was ending and America needed new slaves and wanted more land. Then you call the people trash for not fixing their country after you destroyed it and kept them down with rifles in their face. How about, get the fuck out of our countries so we can get the fuck back out of yours?
Sometimes interviewers play "devil's advocate" and ask the tough questions. Tough, fair questions are perfectly legitimate, and give the interviewee an opportunity to explain themselves. This seemed more like Colbert just parroting establishment talking points and well-worn attacks. That was disappointing. But Tulsi's poise was impressive! I wish I had her patience and tolerance for BS.
Sad that most Democrat politicians feel the need to avoid criticizing anything Obama ever did. Colbert here is a great example of this. Being unwilling to criticize ANY president is very destructive to critical thinking.
@@michaelk5607 It's because Colbert belongs to that club, the one you and I aren't in: medium.com/@RobletoFire/tulsi-gabbard-has-enemies-in-high-places-6fa7da05284
Trump's entire platform was based on the corruption in our system. The vast non transparent swamp water. The lies of the major media. The inner workings of our corporate-led agendas etc.. It doesn't surprise me another politician would speak on what the American people already know to be true for quite a number of years now. They can't run on lies forever, eventually they have to start throwing us bones we can actually chew on before switching their entire game up after swearing in.
@@jbbatO Interesting. Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad to have read it. That email opened my eyes. I had not known she left the DNC administration to support a candidate.
Yeah, i can not even watch him anymore. I used to love him when he was on Comedy Central. No one can deny he isn't talented, but it's sad to see he's just an establishment mouthpiece.
Tulsi is a martial arts master of words. She'll let any baited question slide off of her and fling it back and gets the audience on her side. I think she's able to do that because she is so genuine.
This is the first time in my life where I actually really want to vote for the Presidency. In the past, It has always been about the lessor of two evils for me. This is the first time where there is a candidate truly worth voting for.
Please donate to Tulsi Gabbard's campaign. She needs 65,000 individual donors in order to appear on the debate stage. I am a Sanders supporter but I gave to both Tulsi's and Andrew Yang's campaigns so that their voices can be heard by the American people who are tired of business-as-usual politicians. Tulsi and Bernie and,...this means that they are not being bought by Walstreet... They are funded by the people. This is a start for changing our corrupt politics.
First time I ever voted in my 50 years on this earth was for trump I consider myself a conservative libertarian I like what she has to say if she means what she says she would have my vote even though I do disagree with things she says
She is the first person I've ever donated money too sorry but I'm no Bernie fan but I think it's cool how we can agree on a candidate I'd never vote Bernie just like I know you would never vote trump
My comment edited ...because Warren is accepting PAC money. When I wrote this comment...she was thought to not be taking it. Thank you for bringing my attention to my old comment
@Nine Waves I agree - he showed his VERY limited knowledge but was honest in saying that was his opinion and even asking her whether she agreed or not. Honestly most Americans think just like him if not worse.
Make sure to donate. I literally hate that we have to donate but she needs donations to get onto the debate stage. If people see her they will love her
That's all part of the absurdity. The most recent "gassing" was shown to be a staged provocation and no chemical weapons were involved. It's not clear how many of the claimed chemical weapons attacks actually happened and how many were actually carried out by the Assad government. Like Tulsi said, the CIA and middle eastern partners have been trying to overthrow the Assad government for the past 8 years. All claims of chemical weapons attacks during that period are suspect, in my opinion.
@Sathyajith Shankar The US does use white phosphorous which is considered something horrible. Regardless, the US has killed 4,042 civilians in Syria alone, including 987 children in the effort to kill ISIS. We have also been arming and funding Al Qaeda-linked groups and allying with nations in the region that do the same. Our ally Qatar even fund ISIS. US foreign policy is absolutely insane.
The best way to destroy ridiculous ideas is by asking ridiculous questions. Of course Stephen isn't equating her with Duke, but by letting her address the notion and shoot it down, he's lending her his platform to put these ridiculous ideas away. I was shocked by her talking about not involved in Syria, but she made a good point about intervention. But then Stephen made a good point about China and Russia would fill the void if we leave. Her answer there was less satisfactory. Only doing good isn't going to cut it. Sometimes the world is messy, you must be willing to accept that there isn't a good solution but only a necessary one.
@@dannykumite So who filled the void after Obama/Clinton murdered Kaddaf in Libya? The world may be messy but American ordnance doesn't make the mess any better.i
@@falllinemaniac Is he asking Obama why he has the same policy on animal welfare as Hitler? He's not. Is he asking Clinton why she supports every war one can imagine? He's not. Is he asking Sanders why he supported a nation that systematically murdered its own citizens? Of course not. He's only doing that shit with people his masters deem enemies.
dannykumite these are framed questions to draw sound bites for smear-article headlines. Don’t believe me? Google Tulsi Gabbard and look at how the media reacts to her answers. This isn’t honest questioning. This is a smear campaign. The last person who challenged the intelligence agencies like tulsi does was jfk...
That's like saying "in order to be a good swimmer you need to get wet"...nothing but empty phrases. I guess she pulled that out of the last fortune cookie she got at her favourite Chinese restaurant.
Colbert is giving Tulsi a platform to speak and defend her views, not handing her easy ass questions. He asks hard questions so that we can see her competency, which we do. How is she going to compete in a tense political partisan climate if she can't address things that the media could construe as controversial? Colbert is being a devil's advocate for christ sakes! How has no one in these comments been asked challenging questions in their lives, this is what makes competent people stand out! Why the hell would Colbert suddenly get corrupt over one candidate? He is celebrated widely for his work in politics, you can get so much more out of making political change than money at his level! I swear people have this scarcity complex, even the slightest sign of hypocrisy and they throw a kangaroo court over the people they idolized!
Really Stephan? Bringing up David Duke and Steve Bannon? This interview was nothing but a pro-corporate smear. How disappointing. I'm done with Colbert and the Late show.
Don´t you know the standard procedure of an interview? It´s always asking from the opposing standpoint. Gosh - your com isn´t the only one with this kind of statement and I wonder why you guys don´t know the simplest journalistic basics.
Bruh, Stephen asked some bullshit questions. I've been a fan of his for a while but this was a weak interview. Tulsi held out though! Still delivered solid responses
Nschulze18 you are 100% right. I am Irish and would love to see Tulsi elected as President of United States. People in Ireland think that you only have clowns in your government. Tulsi would be great for world peace, but I would fear for her safety, as they would take her out, just like Kennedy
Should have given Tulsi Gabbard more time and Cory Booker less time. I love how Gabbard never loses composure and steers the conversation back on course. Not Colbert's best interview. He should have given her more serious time and attention. I like Gabbard and Sanders.
With grace and fortitude like that, I think these tough interviews boost her credibility and name recognition, exponentially. Whether you like her or not, you got to admit she has a presidential aura.
How dumb do the corporate Democrats think people are? EVEN Colbert is acting like what she is saying is dumbfounding and news to him. How can the USA possibly be anything except "Captain America" in the world, right? I truly think 2020 is going to be the year that not only brings a true progressive liberal into the White House, but I think the Democratic party is going to be massively overhauled as well. Bernie for President. Tulsi for VP.
Ask Assad if she is a good candidate. She is going to be skewered in the election, and has no chance since she is Hindu. People in this country are too Christian to vote for someone that isn't.
@@martinaee You understand that Colbert "playing dumb" is kindof his thing, right? You say "Even Colbert is acting like what she is saying is dumbfounding." Of course he is.
