they cut out the part where Oliver Stone said Israel has more impact on the U.S. election than the Russians did haha
How do you know this? Do you have evidence?
Where's the evidence of that?
@@srrlIdl AIPAC for exemple look into it brother
@@danielcastillo9587 You can google it, many newspapers wrote about it.
Is Israel an allay or enemy. Jew hatred detected
Disappointing, graceless, thoughtless, boorish behavior on the part of Colbert and his audience.
Karl Hubert Maria von Fürstenburghochzolltal your profile picture disturbs and vexes me.
Funny, isn’t that how your x wife described your sex life?
Why on earth did Oliver Stone agree to be on this crappy show.
@@chicanohek That is a grown-up way of critizising. Comment about his wife, when you don´t even know them. You must be very mature
Wow Colbert and his audience have absolutely no class. They hear something they don't like and they shut down the speaker
have no brains may be?
Because he cares about freedom of speech yet backs a dictator
@@ll-eb2rt Who backs a dictator? Stone has come out and said this is a documentary... Not an investigation... It was a way to see into the life of Putin... Whether or not you like him or not...
Freedom of speech 😂😂😂
@@ll-eb2rt lmao freedom of speech when your liberals are making 2 trillion fake bill and taking in their pockets
WTF is this interview, the guy just interviewed Putin and Colbert is acting like he's commited a crime.
That is why i don't trust journalists
They are biased and have their own interest
That’s the USA for ya
It's not an interview, jessica. It's a hit job that's meant to smear someone and make them look like a bad guy. I used to be a huge fan of Stephen colbert.
Colberts a talking head for the state advertisers.
@Zaus You got it about right. Also what dictator?
Oliver Stone: “Israel Had Far More Involvement In The 2016 Elections in the US Than Russia.”
when did he say that
Diagoras of Melos Live but it was cut out, surprise, surprise
That part was also cut out of the version streaming in Canada!
Because Russia had none
Of course, but that's every election. My dad said Bernie Sanders would never be president because of one reason: he is opposed by AIPAC
I lost all my respect for Colbert and his work after this.
Funny how as soon as this video ended I thought exactly the same... I was here because I just finished watching part 1 of the interview and I don’t get why American people and even someone that you would think studied in his life could be so brain washed and make Stone uncomfortable in his house by making silly statements that besides being bias do not represent the truth.
Why? He was asking questions. Maybe you don't like critical questions?
That's funny because I lost all my respect for Oliver Stone. Who would have thought he'd end up licking a dictator's boots on live television?
@@MrMatthiasSchneider dude he has loved history and has produced movie and TV shows and the facts he has learned so he has a chance to go learn more facts and get an outside prospective on a country that's reputation has been destroyed since the late 40s
this interview is so aggressive. Im amazed how calm mr Stone is
Almost as aggressive as Putin’s action of the past few months?
Perfect response!
ua-cam.com/play/PL_jzG-Vai6wl9eNOju2LjiKPyL3a6tnuI.html
It's seem, but certainly not as aggressive as Bush in 2003, Obama in 2011 when they decided to invade Iraq and Libya huh?
@@lequytan2533 Are you saying intervention of Libya is more aggressive than the large ground invasion in Ukraine? Libya had a Civil War, with attacks against civilians. The intervention ended that Civil War, and caused 72 civilian deaths. They didn't land troops, they just send 260 aircrafts and 20 ships. Ukraine was invaded by 100 thousands of Russian troops, and already caused tens of thousands of civilian deaths, all because of Putins irredentist views. He falsely claimed Ukraine was governed by neo-Nazis in an attempt to justify his invasion. The Russians have been accused of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court. Meanwhile in Russia, you can't even say 'invasion' publicly without being arrested. I would say Putin is the more aggresive one compared to Obama huh?
The guy is a journalist. Stop asking him for is opinion. He is supposed to be impartial. That is his job!
Looks like he was had by Putin tbf
An absolute train wreck and disgrace of an interview. The least Colbert could have done and as a curtesy was watch a bit more of the film.
"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England, nor in America, not for that matter in Germany. That is understood. The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." ~ Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg Trials 1946
Holy shut reading your comment now wow
if you run military like business then war is part of that business
If there were the Nuremberg trials today
The oligarchs globally and most of senate in USA would hang
Great quote
Colbert was incredibly disrespectful towards Mr Stone. When you work on a project like this you must lose any bias and let the work speak for itself. For this I have a great respect for Mr Stone.
I have none for Colbert!
Mr Stone is very respectful!
Stone didn't lose bias
Totally agree. I have no respect for Colbert, nor is he even funny!
Yea Colbert is liberal tree hugger
Too bad these late night shows are so short. But see Lex Fridman, this is how you approach Oliver Stone. Still quiet subtle.
Well, that was weird.
it was a little bit socially conservative, yes
+harlequindemon666 My exact words after watching this :-D :-D
It's like Oliver Stone's son, Sean, hosts the television show Watching the Hawks on RT America. It's more than his 'puppy' he has.
I did not know. That's, uhm, "very un-American", I believe is the phrase.
Omg, something new that doesn't fit your world view... How dare they showing it on TV?
"I knew I should've just done Jimmy Fallon."
-- _Oliver Stone, halfway through whatever that just was_
exactly.
+hector andrade Yes. That was the joke.
+hector andrade Nope. "Whatever that just was" is what Oliver Stone was thinking. You might wanna go down to your local community college and enroll in a class titled "Understanding Humor."
notice the italics in the OP and google what they signify. anything is open to interpretation but not all interpretations are correct my friend :)
I like plants.
I have to admit, I am a fan of Steven. I think he takes a particularly comical satirical perspective with his show.
But this was a very poorly done interview. That was not well done at all. He made no attempts to understand this guy. That was very upsetting.
It was an appalling way to address a military veteran. Used to be fan but this exposes him as nothing more than a propogandist. I'm still too embarrassed to watch the whole thing again.
from the moment Colbert starts introducing the guest, by the look on his face, you know where it's heading.
Ya, I noticed Colbert looking like someone just got shot when he was shaking Stone's hand
One of the most awkward interviews Stephen has done. Obviously they are not friends.
Not awkward at all. Brazen, straightforward, and not meek and pathetic like most liberals. He's what the progressive movement needs.
Why would anyone be a friend with a guy who blows to putin's midget dick for some extra cash?
we dont know but you seem to know a lot about it
@@melissamccoy1806 Full speed progress into unbridled lunacy.
@@AlexP-jz9sg and they've certainly achieved that!
That was so rude it was awkward, Colbert asks a question and is unhappy with the answer so he belittles his guest that's his idea of conducting an interview? and the hooting audience that Colbert is pandering to seems like they were taken straight from a 90's Jerry Springer studio.
I've watched all 4 parts of the Oliver Stone and Putin interviews on Showtime. Oliver Stone did a fantastic job. The man was not there to chastize Putin for all the wrong he has done. Oliver Stone is a film maker, not a policeman. His mission was to present Putin as a person to us on a silver platter and for us to judge, that's it. What Colbert and his extremist audience are doing is judging a book by its cover.
O RLY?
I’m going to guess you haven’t even watch the documentary?
That was for @Paolo moss
and what wrong as Putin done ...? Try reading a decent book about the CIA ; by comparison Vladmir would be up for sainthood
@@thesage4729 good comment
Oliver Stone, served in Vietnam with 2nd Platoon, B Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Infantry Division and was twice wounded in action. For his service, his military awards include the Bronze Star with "V" Device for VALOR for heroism, the Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster to denote two awards
being good at killing doesn't make you right
@@waltermennekens1503 he saw what happened when we fought a Cold War up close aka his friends getting blown away. He has a right to say these things
@@waltermennekens1503Think we´ve reached a time when it´s maybe interesting to listen and take into consideration what men like Mr Srone have to say. And I think he´s right on more things than you can understand.
such a moronic statement. If you knew anything about what you were speaking on you'd know he was very young when he volunteered and was a victim of brainwashing like any other 20 year old in 1967, who was also the son of an Army Lt. Col. who had served in WW2. He condemns the Vietnam War and went in a sense of patriotism, dropping out of NYU to do so. Know what you're talking about before you go yapping.@@waltermennekens1503
He's also a complete nut case.
"Do you like Vladmir Putin?" is such a loaded question.. Either way he answers the integrity of his film is compromised.
Watched the first hour, Stone seemed like he's trying to walk a fine line to keep Putin talking the whole time. He offers him a chance to give his version of the story. I found it very interesting. You can tell that Stone was probably burned out by trying to promote his documentary on these talk shows that have been either trying to push their agenda or catch him slipping so that he can be labeled as an Putin apologist. I don't understand how people are going to expect this guy to denounce or speak bad about Putin. He was just trying to see if he could find out the Russian version of these global issues.
The last thing the US ruling class want is a Russian version of any global issue.
This is why even on UA-cam there is a campaign of censorship and outright banning of anything that give an alternative view of the Ukrainian incident. I refuse to call it a war or an invasion. The situation in Ukraine is a direct outcome of US/Nato/NED interference.
Exactly.
Stop being rational the internet is no place for that
Legitimately the only way to interview someone. Most criticizing aren't familiar with Stone's work
Stone forgot that Americans, including Colbert, like their 'facts' on black and white. Grey areas can't compete!
Stephe: You interviewed Stone without having watched the interview? Geee! What kind of preparation is that?
I admire the integrity of Oliver Stone, he dealt with the terrible interview with class.
Agreed
Da Comrade, da.
Isn’t this wild to watch that 4 part documentary and then everything going on now makes much more sense.??
The audience are disrespectful too
well this comment did not age well
Very disrespectful interview
exactly
Funny how Colbert is so concerned about Russian propaganda when his own show is 100% propaganda...
Are you a moron?!?!?
@@chicanohek no you are
OK BUDDY Surprised you had time to answer
Propaganda for what? Think about this: if his show is 100% propaganda, he wouldn't let Oliver Stone on the show in the first place.
@@srrlIdl unless he wants to make stone look like the bad guy. Which he tried and did. We are not Russian so we can't possibly say Putin is a dictator. All the shit that's said about how Putin is in Russia can b applied here to the US as well. Just look up Brandon Staka.
The issue here is that neither Colbert nor the audience understands what a conversation is. It is not a debate. It doesn't serve a narration. It's not about trapping the other side. It's just 2 person talking to eachother.
Exactly
Couldn't have said it better myself
Anyone here after Club Random?
😂👍
as someone who actually watched his documentary the entire documentary Oliver Stone certainly doesn't take the side of Russia or the side of Putin he actually discusses at length in the documentary how Putin took power and it does not paint him in a very good light but I believe that Oliver Stone is being honest when he says that he fully believes that Russia does want to be partners with the US and that he takes that at face value
Where can i find the full documentary ? Showtime only ?
How''s that being 'partners with the US' thing working out?
oh my how times have changed!
Oh, this aged beautifully OP /s 😂😂
@@monkeyman2407 Russia does want to be partners with the US and has for a long time actually, like Russia worked with US for years. What's happening now is years of failed diplomacy with the West and Russia deciding to act like a regional power.
Very proud of Oliver stone in keeping his composure
The media's main intent is to create bias - "Feed my audience's bias or you will get laughed at Mr. Stone"
"Search for Jehovah while he may yet be found."~ bible
Putin said Russia never interferes in other countries internal affairs! Theyve been doing it in Ukraine since 2004 and had annexed crimea at this stage and Oliver Stone doesnt take him up in this??!!
It is disgusting to disrespect your guest.
Stone is a genius. His sole purpose is to tell the story like it is
Yeah at the end of Platoon it has the usual disclaimer all events and characters are fictional any resemblance to actual events or characters is coincidental then the booklet explains how Chris is based on Stone himself and all the events that happened to him in nam. Also why does no one ever mention the doors or nbk?
The Putin way
Oliver Stone kept his composure very well. Stephen Colbert was acting childish.
No, Colbert was extremely restrained whilst talking to a conspiracy lunatic who is trying to tell us that a murderous war mongering dictator is a nice man, a victim and nothing but a patriot. You sir need tour brain re-calibrating!
@@superiorbeing95 well considering the last few decades of US history I don't see many US president that were not murderous war mongers. So if we followed your criteria we wouldn't be able to say anything good about them either.
Superior Being War mongering is what the world describes US as.
This interwiew clearly shows the obsession of the US media to show Putin in a bad light. Any opportunity to do that, no effort of objectivity. Respect to Oliver Stone for being a real professional.
Do you think he's bad now?!!
@@AAGul I knew that all along. Just hate seeing the world presented in black and white.
@@AAGul 😂😂😂😂😂
Only dumb, brainwashed hypocrites who know nothing about Russia and Ukraine think that Putin is the bad guy
And what's with all the trolls coming back to videos from 5 years ago, asking people "Do you think that now?" Are you paid to do that? Honestly want to know cause you guys are under every video
I think Oliver Stone is a national treasure for the United States. The disrespect shown by the audience just shows their ignorance.
He basically sold his soul by doing this propaganda piece on Putin. And you wrote this comment after Russia invaded Ukraine? Wake up.
Who is he gonna praise next?
Kim Jong Un?
Well this shit sure aged like a fine wine.
Why even invite the man on the show if you have no interest in what he has to say?
Because he's not a mind reader so he had no idea what was going to be said? The Interest is there, you notice it by him letting Stone speak. I think that your problem with the interview is that he challenged Stones viewpoint, "tyler".
Kallek Ekalli Haha, no my problem with the interview is Oliver Stone is obviously trying to speak and gets yelled over by Colbert. I'd love to make an opinion of Stones viewpoint if Colbert every let him get it across.
I re-watched the video and he never yelled at him. You're either exaggerating or flat out lying. This isn't the show if you're interested in a longer interview without changing the subject or comic relief. Stones viewpoint was very clear, Putin is getting more shit than he deserves. Colbert disagrees.
Kallek Ekalli If you truly rewatched this interview and didn't see what I was talking about then I really don't think we are watching the same video.
I've noticed...he treats "certain people" with disdain and attempts to be condescending with them and THAT ,I think, is WHY he has certain guests on. They're like dancing bears, for him and his stupid audience. Colbert is a douche bag.
I never listen to the media. A friend of mine's dad is an airline pilot..... was hijacked back in the 1980s . The story was on the news and he said that his dad was watching it and his comment was," I didn't know that there was another airline that was hijacked" . The news had it so contorted he didn't even recognize the news story as being his own plane . He really thought it was another story
Exactly. Unless you’ve had personal experiences like that most would not realize how much the news is really a contorted story they want to tell. Media is not trying to tell the truth of anything. It’s all about presenting a narrative
this interview didn't age well... invite a guest on to bully them on a lie that came out 2 years later.
I’m reading the comments and I have a feeling that Russia is posting all the comments. Oliver Stone didn’t challenge any of Putin‘s answers nor counter that with evidence and that’s what a journalist does. He’s also very evasive with his answers and never give a straight answer. Did Putin pay him to do an autobiography of him?
What is this compulsion of branding someone who has different opinions with russian bots and such boogeymen? Oliver made a film, addressing what he made and his experience and you can see even in audience they start laughing and groaning. Could you explain me why do you guys have this demeanor?
Colbert was pretentious, not nuanced, and condescending to a man who was obviously more interesting and more intelectual than him. I dislike because of Colbert, not Stone.
Likewise
Love Stone, respect Putin. Ten years ago was a fan of the Colbert report. Now gone off the bloke
I love Colbert, but this interview was bad. Completely agree. Stone was trying to be rational, calm. The audience was disgraceful.
And that’s why your not allowed to have a library card...good day sir!!!!
at the end of the stone/putin interview putin asks oliver if he ever got beaten. stone replies that he has been beaten.
After that putin tells him this" for what you did you will be" now I understand why he said that ..when stone came back to America he was bashed by brainwashed interviewers with ingnorant questions ..lost respect for Colbert gain some for OliverStone and putin
Putin talks of "being beaten"? The man of Anna Politkovskaja? Oh, please
@@marcelofasurnacchie7482 Anna who?
@@robotdowney Anna was murdered in her house. She was very brave independent russian journalist. Google it. RIP.
Don't hate your enemies to the point where you cannot be fair with them
I would rage quit that interview. Respect buddy
that was awkward.
What do you expect when you haven't actually watched what the person you are interviewing was there to talk about.
Them to adapt and tell you 'something' about it. The entire purpose after all is to get people who haven't watched it to go and see it...
the Necromancer1987 I think he decided to go this route for fear of turning up face down in The East River/Thames/Seine- take your pick.
It's understandable that no American wants to take Putin's words at face value, and I'm no Putin fan either, but instead of explaining why we shouldn't, and focusing on what we CAN get from them, he plays to Russian stereotypes (and ratings) by attacking Stone's credibility, ESPECIALLY when he hasn't even seen the interviews himself.
I'm disappointed that Colbert has stooped lower than his prime on the Colbert Report.
And ask loaded questions in which there isn't a good "yes" or "no" answer for the sole purpose of demonizing your guest because the Ruskies are everywhere.
I watched this and thought of JFK's Peace Speech I may not be a big fan of Putin but here you have a bunch of Americans laughing at the idea that Putin is a victim, yet has this very audience looked at its own country's values in regards to war and terror. JFK said "Some say that it is useless to speak of world peace or world law or world disarmament-and that it will be useless until the leaders of the Soviet Union adopt a more enlightened attitude. I hope they do. I believe we can help them do it. But I also believe that we must reexamine our own attitude--as individuals and as a Nation--for our attitude is as essential as theirs. And every graduate of this school, every thoughtful citizen who despairs of war and wishes to bring peace, should begin by looking inward--by examining his own attitude toward the possibilities of peace, toward the Soviet Union, toward the course of the cold war and toward freedom and peace here at home."
Right on.
JFK didn't live long after he talked peace and went after the Mafia!
US citizens are purposely kept blind in regards to geopolitical issues. It’s why most of them can’t even name 3 countries outside the US
I m truly amazed on the disrespectful approach this interview had both coming from the Stephen and the audience. A bunch of clowns with previously build-by-the-"free"-media preset concepts about any subject. Shame is the US people doesn t need media control anymore, it s a factory setting.

stone is defending a dictator who lives lavishly of the blood, sweat and tears of millions
a truth teller vs a snaky tool of establishment
Oliver Stone is so impressive. He was badgered and laughed at by jerks in the audience and Colbert and kept his cool so well. Remember he went through hell and he is a decorated infantryman Vietnam war.
The audience so clueless and brainwashed at that....
Exactly !!!!!
*_"Do you like Vladimir Putin, after spending 20 hours with the guy, do you trust him?"_*
I can't tell if this question is more disrespectful or simply stupid. Seriously.
Lol I thought the same shit. I don't trust my own brother and I've spent 40 years with that fucker.
Ditch Bank Bandits LMFAO!
"Do you like Vladimir Putin, after spending 20 hours with the guy, do you trust him?"
My answer to that question is, I trust Putin to do what he thinks is best for Russia even if it includes destroying me and mine.
For me that is a mark of a great man.
kikiriki I think the right answer is "no, he's a politician and a former secret service officer".
Even worse is the first part of the question, like you need to agree with someone to respect him. This is so naive.
I don't like Putin for many reasons, still I totally respect him, I wouldn't be able to last 2 seconds in his position, the same can be said for most, if not every European leader, you've to give him credit for that.
I don't even dare to judge his ethics, it's too easy to be nice, when you're not the one in charge, the one who has to live with the bargain of his own decisions.
Finally, you need to like and trust someone to give him a fair interview, do you? I'd say no, that's really a weird point of view.
+DeePal072 Five minutes of listening to Colbert and I dislike him intensely. The Jews love Colbert though, he shills for them as a Democrat. Funny that Colbert should repeat Rep. Bill O'Reilly's "Putin is a killer".
Oliver stone looks like: I'm just watching you fools
I miss when Colbert was a satirist, now we get a supreme propagandist.
Supreme propaganda of Stone defending an oppressive dictator living off the blood, sweat and tears of millions
All the talk shows are democrat propoganda, as much as i hate trump, they made it obvious they have the same agenda when covering trump, also the democrats in recent history have an interest in isolating russia and have been more aggressive towards them than republicans
Yeah that was a really rude interview by Colbert. Oliver stone has done some amazing work and obviously isn't a fan of dictators. He's just being wise by not perpetuating the anti Russian propoganda.
Stone is a hypocrite and a Russian shill
@@nintendokings cheers bruv. I'm glad you shared your evidence so we can see where you came to your deduced and succinct statement of fact.

My thoughts exactly
I watched every episode. Very interesting material.
Thank you Oliver Stone, building bridges of peace that the world badly needs. Stephen Colbert is such a terrible interviewer here, could have been so interesting.
@Zaus did you watch the doc?
I refuse to watch him ever again. He came across as an amateurish buffoon! Very disappointing from someone who was once alert to international relations. This 'interview' could have been done by someone from Lubbock Texas.
That was so disrespectful
Glad to see so many people here can still see through Colbert's BS.
FUKIN CEMTRAILS!!!!!!!
All late night hosts for that matter
All of Corporate Main Stream Media - worldwide.
R.I.P. Colbert's integrity, this is sad.
100% War Monger.
My my, how Colbert's attitudes changed over the years. 😯
So interviewing the leader of one of the most powerful countries and making a movie about it is propaganda? I think it's quite the opposite.. I would've been more satisfied, if Oliver Stone had chosen another show to talk about his film..
Interviewing the leader of a country and making a film about it is not propaganda. No one is saying that (at least Colbert certainly isn't). But interviewing the leader of a country who has a history of human rights abuses, suppression of democracy and freedom of the press etc *without* challenging him much or pressing him on some of these issues and past behaviors does make it seem like it's just an opportunity for Putin to portray himself as a sympathetic character without being challenged very much. I'm sure Oliver Stone had no intention of making a biased film (either positive or negative) about Putin, but if he found him so likeable and respects the guy it seems he's unable to see some of the darker aspects of this man's leadership style and call him out on it.
@@mistym0rning BS. Doesn't matter do you like him or not, he is a head of the country with more than 140 million citizens and must be treated respectfully by this fact already. It's just normal civilized people behaviour. USA has huge proved history of racism, mass shootings, "war drugs" failures and non sanctioned wars abroad "for the name of democracy" etc. I don't hear any American present being asked about it not only with pressure, but just asked. No double standards please.
If you put pressure of your own looks while interviewing somebody, you simply don't have a chance to hear their point and loose time. Interviewer is the person who can listen first and then to ask, just to make person know what part of their opinion is more interesting for the audience. Mr. Stone is professional. That's it.
What do you expect from an American? Oliver Stone is just a rare element in the American Society. Americans are like the host. They know already everything without needing to get deep into it.
This interview was very Russiaphobic tbh. Colbert should be more open minded and loving toward other cultures
Russiaphobic? More like dictatorphobic.

3:23 most obvious interview cut in the history of interviews..
The America used to be a great country where people respect those who shares different ideas.
Stephen I love you, I was so happy to hear that you got this gig as you are one of the best there is. I watched this entire episode as I usually do but made sure to see the Oliver Stone interview that seemed like it wasn't even going to happen because of how there was no time left. I have to say that this interview was very odd to watch! It seemed that right from the start Stephen set a tone to undermine Oliver Stone as either being not legit or a Putin support which would mean anti American. This being even more evident with the odd groans from the audience that played out. I have to say that this interview seemed more like the old Colbert from Comedy Central; the interview is how I would see Bill O'Reilly giving it. I would hope that if you got Stone to come on again you would be a little bit more neutral in tone and let him say what he needs to say.
Totally disgusted with Colbert. He really has brought himself down to the attitude of a Sky/Fox interviewer. Never giving his guest the chance to speak, not admonishing his audience for their rudeness, his whole attitude was, belligerent towards Stone. It seems that Colbert is just another cog in the propaganda machine. I wonder what Jon Stewart thought of it.
Wow, what an ambush. If I were Stone I'd never go back and encourage others to do the same.
Audience when Stone arrives "Whoaahhh, Yeahhhh, Hooray" Audience at end of intewiev "Clap, clap, clap"
I really love the seriousness about Mr. Stone and how he calmly responded to this Colbrait. It was so disrespectful to say "I'M ASKING YOU A QUESTION" after Oliver told him to see the film for himself. And when the audience laughed about the "ABUSE" thing, Oliver's body language immediately responded "What these brainwashed Americans are laughing at?".
Respect to Oliver Stone.
A man like Oliver Stone deserves a much longer interview. Way too short.
Wrong.
NPC ^^^
I am Russian myself, living here in states for 15 years. I am so happy (I have read the comments) that there are so many people that can filter the BS and see the truth. God bless Mr. Stone who is trying to make our people closer and bring Peace to the World! PEACE. LOVE. COOPERATION.
serge v At the very least, he's interested in hearing a different side of the story.
I have a hard time believing you. You sound like old communist propaganda, talking about world peace while oppressing your own population and killing people abroad (Afghanistan, Hungary, Poland, Chechoslovakia....etc).
@Aditya Sanjeev That's a great contribution to the discussion....pre-teen troll.
Most people have common sense and know what’s true and what’s bullshit. This Colbert guy and this show and the sheepishness of the audience is a sad sad sight to see.
@Iyam Ripped killing people in Afghanistan? I am from Afghanistan, so I see a need to answer to ur comment. At least when Russia was killing ppl (actually not ppl but the military opposition of the government) that time, they had an aim and a goal to make Afghanistan a better place to live that's why they build many roads, hospitals, etc.. now look what US did when they were here; they gave all the money to a very small minority maybe 10 ppl and said that we helped 600 billion dollars in 10 years... they had no goal... they helped the Taliban (created the Taliban to get rid of russia at first) and the government at the same time. There was no discipline in US military when they were here; for instance, a drunk soldier drove a military vehicle and killed 60 civilians. Please don't try to show that u r a nationalist by saying stupid stuff just like ur role model Colbert🙏
Had to re-watch this after listening to Oliver on Lex Fridman's podcast...if you found truth and honestly in say Platoon or JFK, then it stands to reason you'll find the same thread of authenticity in what Stone tried to achieve with the 4-part documentary. History will bear out much of what he's trying to say about countries, sovereignty, journalistic courtesy, regardless what a TV audience may think in that moment.
Parabens pelas entrevistas
I find it interesting when people with a little more nuanced understanding of the US role in the world get this kind of reaction, even when it comes from liberal standpoints, such as Chomsky or Oliver Stone, in this case. It was funny when Trump answered "what, do you think we are so innocent?" when answering to Bill O'Reilly's accusations on Putin. As a 'liberal' myself, I was with Trump on that one. Maybe the only time. Doesn't make you think that when public figures, technically opposing to each other, (such as Colbert and O'Reilly) agree on this Manichaeism, on this definite, devilish enemy, something is wrong? There are really the good and the bad, and that's it? Putin is no saint by any means.. but then again, what is Saudi Arabia? I truly appreciate the US, but what did Washington done to my country (Brazil) from 1964 to 1985? I don't think most Americans know.
Oh yeah, this is so less talked about considering US's recent exploits, that I didn't even remember that Brazil too was a victim of a never ending list of coup d'état's arranged/supported by US. Funny thing is in this case so called Liberators of Peace and Democracy supported a military coup leading to a dictatorship with no consequences (as obviously they didn't go there just preferred to grow their weapons market by supplying more and more of them). Sometime I feel like actual reason for 2nd Amendment was to grow their economy by bolstering these companies
The US destroyed so many South American people's governments that the complete list has yet to be written.
You sound like an American not a Brazilian. But for sure what the US did and still does to intervene in favor of right wingers in Brazil is horrific.
I am from the northeast of Brasil and you are GOD DAMN RIGHT!!! United States promotes coup d'etat and terrorism and they wanna play the good cop role in geopolitics.
You have a clear view about the situation.
American arrogance at its finest.
So true. Very prevalent in Central Europe as well (Germany mainly). Sad.
It's a cancer of brainwashed people that mistakenly believe their political inclusion makes them better people. The delusion of the self-righteous.
My country Poland is sucking an American cock so bad it makes me frustrated. We turn from a proud, independent country with full integrity into an American vassal under false promises, hollywood brainwash, US popculture and political pressure, while getting NOTHING in return, maybe a mere PROMISE of security from Russia. We're losing our integrity as a nation and will become american cannon meat against russia if anything happens. It's not cold war anymore, snap the fuck out of this mentality as it leads us on a very dangerous path.
@@Dave-ng7ee Yeah, dude. It won't be America that's going to fight Russia for you guys. You'll be fighting Russia for America.
Colbert considers himself a member of the press. HILARIOUS!!
This is why talk shows are dying. Invite the man on your show and you mock and challenge everything he says.
Colbert was pretty rude in this interview.....antagonistic almost.
It was a palpable negative energy. The guest seemed to be brought on as a strawman, almost. Pretty upsetting.
Disgusting seeing Colbert treating an honorable man that way. You could tell Stone was uncomfortable but had the patience to remain polite the whole time.
Oliver Stone - one of the all time greats. I'm sure that documentary is a work of art as everything this man has done is.
It's a bit strange to see the US public behave in this way - but there's been an uninterrupted decline in quality of education and public information over the decades, especially after the USSR demise. In a way - the way the US public is responding to a civil and demanding discourse about the complex and sophisticated current affairs is a stark reminder of the USSR public "reactions" to the same thing during the heights of the USSR.
Funny how things change. To paraphrase... "who won? who lost? it's a funny game, man... it changes all the time"
We call it dumbing down in Australia!
I can highly recommend all for parts of The Putin Interviews by Oliver Stone.
Jon Batiste getting a little McCoy Tyner at the end there ;)
Lost a lot of respect for Colbert, I expected him to be at least try to be objective but he just acted like another mindless brainwashed drone.
Oliver Stone is being a professional, intellectual and a composed journalist. Colbert is the ignoramus, only hearing what he wants to hear. Ironically, Colbert should be thankful for Trump; it seems Trump is where Colbert's material comes from.
ravenise005 Zionist bastards.
yeah, real "journalistic" of Stone to have no follow-up question to Putin's last point...
? did you even watch the interviews? He directly point blank ask Putin if he hacked the elections. Stone was not soft on Putin in regards to the possible hack of the US elections or the unrest in Ukraine.
No. I want to. I don't have Show Time.

I have many times enjoyed the humor of Stephen Colbert on current political situations.However, Oliver Stone, in my belief, is a really serious, dedicated, investigative reporter of politics, and history. I think he tries to clearly represent his findings, and does not ride the current political reporting of those who are on the popular main stream media ride. He should be respected, and if he seems to not be supportive or commenting on a current political wave, it's because he is trying to stay true to his fact based, and unbiased reporting. I have read that in this interview, Oliver Stone had stated that Russian interference in U.S. Politics does not even come close to Israel interference. However that portion of the interview was edited out of the program. Oliver Stone is not the only one who has mentioned Israeli interference. Such notable persons such as Professor Noam Chomsky, and reporter Helen Thomas have also mentioned this.
Thank you Mr Oliver Stone now I know even more about American media and population who visit those kind of a programmes well this people hardly have a A-levels at school thank you very much you open my eyes
Watching Colbert is such ancient history. He's just part of the problem now
mabassca Very much a part of the problem. A sell out and not as intelligent as he likes to present himself.
@@WateryFire he's a corporate comedian, just like Kimmel, Fallon, Myers, Noah, Oliver and unfortunately Conan.
Oliver Stone is by all accounts a professional. There was a time where journalists and documentarists could just be objective even with the worst of people. Not having an opinion is a dead art and it needs to be brought back.
Objectivity is supposed to be the foundation of all journalism. Sadly, that's long extinct.
Oliver is suposed to ask interesting questions. There is nothing objective about helping a murderer to spread Lies. A lot of people believe Putin is a murderer, even if Oliver doesn't personally believe it's true. The allegations are at least news worthy.
This interview aged well....
Even though Stephen Colbert has turned into a shameful parody of himself, a parrot for the MSM narrative and a poor excuse for a comedian, he does have a point about Oliver Stone being too cozy with Putin and too friendly when he talks about him. Politeness is important yes, but Stone talks about Putin like he's an actual personal friend that he cares about, even noting before that he was worried about Putin's health since he works such long days. To be honest that is nonsense. I'm not saying be adversarial, but at least treat him as a professional and not as a personal friend/acquaintance. I do like the questions Stone gave, he got some very interesting answers out of Putin, but I don't see why it's necessarily to talk about the leader of any country like they're a friend.
Stephen is a disgusting mess of bile
the craziest part of this whole interview is that Colbert, who gained relevancy from being an intelligence satirist, seriously thought he could trick Oliver Stone, who's made iconic films about the deceptive media, into a "mainstream headline" answer
Those interviews are gold, I just watched them.
5:12 That look of sadness....
Oliver Stone should do a movie on Ambassador Graham Martin. "The Last Ambassador to Vietnam". It is such a quirky story and you can tell the story of the Fall of Saigon.
It is the first time that I've seen this interview, and before I do an in-depth research on the movie and Mr. Oliver, I'd like to say that I found him to be astute and considerate of his words and posture. I don't think people realise that being considerate and respect is something we all should have towards one another (even when disagreeing), more so when speaking with the head of a country!
Now, I admit that personally, I would find it hard to keep such a calm demeanour as Mr Oliver did if I were to interview Mr. Trump, simply because of the image he displays (way of expression, body language, blatant disregard and disrespect even for those against his points of view), notwithstanding his policies and/or actions.
However, when the parties share a mutual professional demeanour, it becomes a whole different ballgame, which I think was the case of Mr. Oliver interviewing Putin, as he said: "he respected me and he respected my work". It's not sugarcoating, or being a sell-out, it simply shows you are an educated person with good manners.
(Please don't use pitchforks when coming after me)
Oliver stone is a propaganda arm for Putin. Mutual interests. Let's not forget that Mr. Stone's son had a show funded by Russia state TV from 2015-2022. No need to act like Oliver is being some patient saint.
Thank you...felt tge same way
..excellently said.
I dont know why you would interview someone and act like you are willing to hear his side of the story and Putins side of the story when you and your audience already have a fixed mindset and opinion about Russia and its government.
I wonder how this interview would go in 2023
04.45. OS says, "I was amazed at his calmness and courtesy." In spite of how much Putin's been insulted and abused, "He never had a bad thing to say about anybody." Yeah. In all we've ever seen of Putin, this is exactly what we ALWAYS see -- an eagle. He even looks like one.
Colbert frames the conversation as a search for truth, loads his questions as much as possible (as to make Stone waste time unraveling BS first), and uses the audience against Stone. He kay as well be a living parody of the host in Hunger Games. Always gotta keep the fragile illusion flowing forward.
You're not alone. If you're on twitter, I'll give you a follow.
I find it so sad that the man who mocked George W all those years ago, has descended to this pitiful and petty wreck.
"We never interfere within the domestic affairs of other countries." He can't stop smiling.
Did Colbert or Stone say that?
@@lorrainepaul5928 Putin, in the clip at the beginning.
The US interferes far, far more than any other country on the planet. And in Russia.
His show has become what Colbert Report used to parody.
There is no cure for solace that people find in their ignorance.
The sheer disrespect from the host and the audience towards Oliver stone for holding a different opinion is absolutely pathetic.
Colbert really thought of him to be like any other Hollywood celebrity who would jump on the bandwagon of "anti Trump/Putin" along with him. You can clearly see how annoyed Oliver stone was.
Go blw yr brns out you Kremlin shill
The audience is so embarrassing. Not listening to a guy who's actually met and spent a lot of time with Putin, they'd rather listen to whatever CNN has conjectured about him.
best comment 😇
It's not CNN's conjecture, but our intelligence agencies' assessment. While I'm always skeptical of intelligence services, the actual nature of Putin is widely confirmed. We know this guy has ordered murders. We know this guy supports oppressive laws against gays and dissidents.
I really don't understand how Americans became so comfortable with autocracy. What the hell happened to the country?
Its not about what Putin did， this is about the audience ’s behavior
Mason Cusack If you think going to an authoritarian country to host scripted interviews at the will of Putin makes Oliver Stone familiar with who Putin really is, you're a fucking dumb ass.
Mason Cusack
True. They prefer stinking shit over reality.
