Anyone after Vdud'?
I love the concept Masha introduces: "That authoritarians measure their power by their ability to define reality. The bigger lies they can say and get away with, the happier they are."
It was actually Trevor who said that.
Are you an authoritarian?
What I was trying to say is that in the context of this interview it was actually Trevor who questioned whether what she was saying means that both Putin and Trump have the power to define reality.
I agree that Trevor helped Masha rephrase her words into a more easily understood format; however, he only helped her refine what was her concept to begin with. Anyway, it doesn't matter. The idea belongs to all of us now, and it will help us be more resistant to these type of lies.
Russian troll comments aside… I am incredibly impressed with this woman's intellect, insight, and most of all reasonableness.
thats a woman?
joe ...funny!
Who are you calling a "Russian Troll?" (Please say it's me! Please!)
Troli hare
she's brilliant. really on top of this issue.
Bring Masha Gessen back to the show to talk about what's next with the 2022 Ukrainian invasion
yes I was thinking the same! They have a very unique perspective.
would love to hear her point of view of the current situation!
She is super intelligent and fascinating to listen too!
"I appreciate your mind." Well said.
Did he say "I appreciate your mind" at the end? If he did I love it I've never heard thst phrase before but if feel like it needs to be used more.
logan shepherd Yea he did.
@logan...I've heard the phrase before
You're right
Masha Gessen should be on every TV show every week.
impressive lady, solid interview with as few bs as possible these days
0:18 Russians Against Tiaras is a great name for a Bubblegum Punk band.
Check out her book The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin. What an interesting read! Really explains why he is so eccentric and so ruthless.
eccentric and egocentric...
Bring her back!!!
She speaks so well.
the first time I heard of Masha Gessen was when I saw her years ago on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, a great interview. I like Trevor Noah, he's got his own style, but Jon knew the issues and how to ask the right questions.
thanks for this hint!🙂
Please interview Masha again now!!

Hi, I just listened to this interview and thought I'd share it with you.
@@bonniefowler5013 I agree! The PBS Amanpour interview is so revealing and chilling at the same time! Everyone should see the interview. We really did vote out an Autocrat wanna-be and somewhat escaped moving further towards autocracy for now!
How about interviewing her now?
This is what is important. if trump levies sanctions on Russia but works to get rid of the Magnitsky act then he will be doing exactly what Putin wants. He can claim America is attacking Russia to quiet opposition but the Magnitsky act hurts Putin personally.
"everybody's role is assigned at birth" means "we want to be in power by birth and you should have no upward mobility"
BEWARE
beautiful interview
I really wish he had drilled down a little more into her insights into the similarities between Trump and Putin (~2:30) I'd like to know what else she sees as common besides lying.
buy the book, I bet she explains it in great detail
you can find her interviews and talks on youtube
Trump wants the total control that Putin has. Putin doesn't have to worry that he intends to do something that's illegal
I love these interviews. There is a lighter note yet a deeper conversation. I hope this show gets the emmy
0:43 ...And featuring the floating head of Masha Gessen as The Voice of Reason.
Love the lunch box analogy.
I've always enjoyed her columns in the NY Times. Great interview.
I love Masha Gessen
“I appreciate your mind” yes
Subtítulo en español por favor...
I cannot imagine having Putin’s level of certainty in my own value relative to humanity, but defer to humanity for such judgment. He’s long ago lost the ability to do so. He’s done.
You literally can go through this interview and take the word “Putin” out and put the word “Trump” in and it will still make sense and sound completely right.
Интересно у вас там, наверное
Please include the "recorded on date" so we understand better the context.
The bully only has the power until you grab your lunchbox back and kick him in the balls.
They are very impressive
What the duck. Last ten clips haven’t been captioned
Autism is going to save our world. Amazingly informing conversation, thank you!
What's so hard for these people to understand that us non-westerners don't want their liberal democracy. We don't want to loose our religion, culture, history, families and identity. We don't want to look like these two shills.
title of her book is wrong in the caption, "the future is history" not "the future is here"
Masha Gessen is just the bomb!
These vids are so quiet. I have my headphones on full blast and it's still quiet.
Yes! But the music is loud. I have it way up to hear them talk but then get blasted by the music.
Closed Caption saves ears.
@@christelheadington1136 I'm usually listening to these while I drive lol but yeah normally captions always.
That's probably a result of your device's output driver. These videos are perfectly loud to me on a galaxy phone
That wouldn't make just some videos quiet. Sound levels do vary.BTW I'm on Chrome Book.
"Russian interference in the election is important BUT"??? Interference in the way that Russians did should never be tolerated, we all should be screaming about it by now. It is a BIG deal
Tho opening ad was an "official survey" of Trump's performance. Perhaps the're expecting clicks out of anger?
Why are we _still_ talking about giving Trump the opportunity to demonstrate whether to support sanctions on Russia? He doesn't and he is not going to. He has demonstrated that. How many times does he have to fail this test before in order for it to stop being offered to him?
Just to clarify, the Congress _can_ pass legislation over a presidential veto. It requires a super majority, but it is possible. Why is no one looking at _this_ for sanctions on Russia?
Sanctions are only feeding Putin's propaganda.
This interview was way too short. I think what she said about lying in the open needed more elaboration.
Definitely thought the guest was Rachel Maddow based on the thumbnail
Politics and government is weird. We as Americans have the belief that democracy is better. But at the same time as we say Putin's autocracy is wrong a few dozen law makers in DC have the ability to sign in to law legislation and taxes that the majority don't want nor consent to... And if you disobey or withhold taxes a gun will be held to you the same DEMOCRATICALLY. Slavery, limited women's right, segregation, and a plethora of evils was once deemed legal through the Democratic process!!! This is insanity! whether one man or a group of men(by committee) claim authority over your freedom, health, and ability to obtain wealth; It is by definition immoral to steal kill control or limit another's happiness long as that person doesn't hurt harm or take from another.
except for the fact that America is a republic and not a democracy, democracy is not a good form of government it leads to mob rule
@@bobizemo agreed
CtheKill except that republican government IS democratic.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
ATTN: TDS media team- Title of book is incorrect... i.e. "Here" -> "History"
Alrite folks! We have to make space force!
embrace yourself for the russian bots and trolls, they're everywhere these days
Please! Just say it's me! I want to be a Russian Troll!
*brace
Welcome, comrade!
Aww... her surname was misspelled on the thumbnail. 😣
ok I am confused right now this person is female or male
Why does it matter?
I just want to know what am i watching
@@iidentifyasachickennugget9999 Because, what? Only then will you know if you should take the very insightful interview seriously or not?
@@iidentifyasachickennugget9999 you're watching an interview.
I’m such a fan of her writing (and her brother Keith’s).
It's striking that on the first page of Donald Trump's book "Crippled America" he states "As I wrote this Vladimir Putin is actually outmaneuvering our president by putting together a coalition in Syria that will make Putin the only effective leader in the world." I hope people take Ms. Gessen's advice and pay attention to what comes out of the White House.
And now it's 2022:(
Can we correct Masha Gessen‘s last name?
Trump is the guy taking a dump in the punch bowl at a party, pulling up his pants, and saying 'I didn't do that'.
I love her creative imagination ... rings so true to the ignorant masses.
Reupload huh? :((
how long ago?
This is slightly longer I think than the earlier one. Masha Gessen was outstanding in other interviews (look up The Intercept interview with her from about a year ago iirc) in explaining how Putinism works. Here, so-so.
It's simply they both don't give a 💩 what people want and do whatever they want , she should be careful not to be poisoned ⚠️
What people want is irrelevant it always has been. People only get what they want to distract them from reality. Giving people what they need/ what can be useful fir them is more important by leaps and bounds.
In the end who do you think will be better off the kid who got a pony on her sixth birthday because her parents were getting divorced or the one that went to a private school that costs about the same as taking care of a miniature horse.
Or going back in time the people that went to the Coliseum after an emperor passed or those who got laws passed in their favor while everyone was distracted with the games
Non-Agglutinative Krenak I agree with you,let me rephrase what I said : they both don't give a💩 what's best for people and only care about themselves.
That’s the way of all republics given time. The institution (mainly Judicial and congress as the executive changes too often to cement their right to the position on the same level) becomes more concerned about retaining their own power and influence and claim its their right because people wanted them in power (yet they will not get anything done and claim its because of the opposition while they both continue to collect the freebies the position “entitles” them to). Any sort of leader that wants to do what’s best for the nation has to be willing and able to put the true holders of powers in their place or work under them and maybe get one vital thing done. If you look at more direct democracies out there those that do necessary but unpopular changes end up facing prison time at the end of their term unless they build an intelligence network stronger than the state around themselves and/or have the capacity to bring down the economy or the state through other means. But more often they spend the remainder of their natural born life in jail and the corruption they fought against go back to power and get supported by international organizations to do so.
People may have their disagreements with Putin today but if he did not show up when he did the economic, security and social situation would be far less stable today. If anyone truly analyzes the situation Russia faced in the 90s its pretty much a no brainer. As far a Putin today that may be another story but even his staunchest detractors have expressed a level of praise for the results of his actions in his earlier years in power.
Non-Agglutinative Krenak sorry I disagree with you Putin is an evil person ,the end doesn't justify the means, and the end isn't good anyway, as for the American system it's broken, those who really got the power (not the puppets) wants the public to think that they have a freedom to choose whereas in reality the only freedom they have is to think that they're free !
What is that
I wouldn't call Putin a monarch. What about... a dictator?
I'd really like to see Trump's taxes.
Please
Can someone tell to the american people,that the most democratic country are the democratic monarchies
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Luxembourg, Netherlands, UK, Japan and Belgium are monarchies.
11 monarchies are in the top 24 most democratic countries, including 7 in the top 10.
Question. When Putin lies does he stick to the story (the lie)? Trump says things like I didn't say that when he did say it. Trump creates issues that take credit 'solving' that issue. I don't think Putin is like that.
Wow only 9 comments with mine 10 ☺️
That was not Putin who said about war with US but many american politicians themselves. Putin always called US by 'the parterns' and 'the western friends'
If he views the US as "partners" or "friends" then why did he order the hacking of American computers and the influencing of the 2016 election?
"he thinks hes the best person for the job"... so if you wanted to hire someone to work for you, would you take someone out of school with no experience or rather a person with 20 years of job experience...
Гессен как всегда, в принципе. Превьюшка топовая
Bullies base thier power on FEAR. So:
The bully takes your lunchbox.
"You took my lunchbox!"
(Stands their holding it, ) "No I didn't."
KICK HIM IN THE NUTS. Take your lunchbox.
"You kicked me in the nuts."
"No I didn't..."
(to the 'authorities,' I was trying to kick the lunchbox out of his hands. I missed, I guess.)
You won't be bullied again.
She is very smart and reasonable. And... I am that type of Man who can openly say... Intelligence makes somebody sexy.
Intelligence makes them tolerable. You might be attracted to men and that's totally cool. She is very smart it is kinda sexist to even bring up sexy
Ryan Alvarez why is it “kind of sexist” to call her sexy? Why is that a bad thing? Men cannot compliment women anymore?
Nobody cares who you find sexy. It's such a stupid thing to bring up. And it says a lot about your focus as a person
@@surlysmiles you seem to care or why are you commenting a general Statement that i find intelligence sexy. Sry that i am not only attracted by physical values
Congratulations to President Putin on his outstanding election victory. The Russian people are obviously very confident in their President's handling of the SMO and protecting society from the very obvious dangers of neoliberalism.
Except that he never said that Russia is in war with USA. That last one is total BS.
Ach FFS!! Here we go again: Russophobia in Hysteriastan. .....Then you spend most of the time talking about your own "trumping" trauma.Not a trace of self reflection.
Asha grese gres
adf

0:48 - that's simply not true.
Just Noah doing he's propaganda thing, I guess.
Blyat'
I wish The Daily show could stop trying to view EVERY SINGLE TOPIC through a Donald Tump lense. Putin and Russia is a serious topic in and of itself, you don't have to make every question about fucking Trump.
She is practically begging Trevor to stop wasting everyones time with trying to report these speculations as facts and instead confront and report the facts that we have, which that we can actually act on and do something about.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Masha geese? Lmao get your spell check on daily show interns smh
first :D
Close :3
putin is a monarch?
if hes the richest man in russia, absorbs the bank accounts of people he quietly eliminates, holds the highest seat in the land, controls who becomes lords, diminishes the voice and power of the serfs & pesants than yeah, hes a king.
if he blasts propoganda and removes tbe 4th estate (journalism) hes a fascist babee.
Putin is a man who wanted not to be a president, but rather a czar.
There different types of monarchs from the mostly symbolic ones to autocratic rulers like Putin. They're using it to mean he's king in the way we used to think about kings, i.e. all-powerful.
Tia Williams good goddess what an ego! Either that or Putin's compensation for something (like his impending mortality).
Putin is a necessary evil to counter US, the country which is built on graves of millions of innocent people
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
i love putin
I don't know much about Trump/Putins merits or failures but can't take a woman who wants to be a man seriously.
As a Russian it's disgraceful how Masha geseen portrays a caricature of Russia. And the worst part is she wonders why she doesn't have the appeal over us Russian people. she is in no way helping to defuse the situation or trying to understand the other side. all she's ever done is creating a niche for herself in the western world and carve out a respective audiences.
She made a career out of speaking out on tyranny ,yet she has total control of so called the field of cultural interpretation
In hindsight, she wasn't so wrong about Putin after all, right?
@@ViZahra it's not about the view of Putin i have problem with, i have problem with her views about Russia and the way she supports separatism
Question: "What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Is homosexuality a sin?"
Answer: The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26-27;1 Corinthians 6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When people continue in sin and unbelief, God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9proclaims that homosexual “offenders” will not inherit the kingdom of God.
....in every one's inside there is truth about this ...
I vote for Putin. Most of my friends did. Anti-Putinism is kind of a cultural trend in the artistic bohema, everyone says they are against him - publicly, and then still support him, because it's the only stable figure in the field, and our lives are simply getting better and better with each year. Not a single dude over the age of 20 would vote for this Navalniy guy, that US is pushing forward, and well, nobody even remembered who the hell is Nemtsov when he suddenly got killed. Who else? Khodorkovskiy? The thing is, the opposition can not give us a single person that would even remotely look trustworthy, but their screams are still the loudest, because most of the artistic and "free media" community is biased against him. And yeah, we've got this shit running for over a decade now, and they never managed to prove at least one point towards Putin, sometimes they catch some corrupt official and then suddenly - it's Putin's fault. TBH, the desire to position Putin as some kind of all-mighty-see-everything-dictator, who controls everything by himself - is stupidly ridiculous. I mean, we are HUGE country - both territory-wise and in the matter of complexity of the government. We are freaking Federation of 85 states, it's simply IMPOSSIBLE to be in sole control of everything. We have exactly the same separation of power as in US, the only real difference would be the amount of Agencies.
But well, demonizing your enemy - traditional way of fighting propaganda war. I'm actually even flattered, that you guys think that Putin is an all-mighty dark god.
Also, nope, i'm not on a payroll, and when we had a referendum about the next POTUS - i personally voted for Hillary, so don't throw any stones please.
Thank you for a glimpse into the other side of the conversation.
Then why vote? Do nothing and the result will be the same.
See, your story sounds nice and all, but then you claim you voted for Putin AND for Hillary? So what are you, Russian or American? Sounds like you're just telling us what we'd want to hear tbh.
M. Vipsanius Agrippa We finally found Trump’s illegal voters! And it’s Russians - not Mexicans :)))
Well, you're an idiot. Actually, you lost me right at the "our lives are simply getting better and better with each year" -- are you sure you visited some general stores lately? Or maybe our relationship with world is getting better? What is it exactly that simply gets better?
The man is ruling for nearly two decades one way or another. It's time for him to leave.
There can't be any other candidate as long as you actively repressing the very idea of an opposition. And he is someone from the past and can only steer our country into medieval shithole.
Cheers from Moscow.
