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."

Russian troll comments aside… I am incredibly impressed with this woman's intellect, insight, and most of all reasonableness.

Bring Masha Gessen back to the show to talk about what's next with the 2022 Ukrainian invasion

She is super intelligent and fascinating to listen too!

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.

"I appreciate your mind." Well said.

impressive lady, solid interview with as few bs as possible these days

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.

0:18 Russians Against Tiaras is a great name for a Bubblegum Punk band.

Bring her back!!!

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.

Masha Gessen should be on every TV show every week.

Please interview Masha again now!!

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.

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.

"everybody's role is assigned at birth" means "we want to be in power by birth and you should have no upward mobility" BEWARE

I love these interviews. There is a lighter note yet a deeper conversation. I hope this show gets the emmy

beautiful interview

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.

0:43 ...And featuring the floating head of Masha Gessen as The Voice of Reason.

Love the lunch box analogy.

“I appreciate your mind” yes

I love Masha Gessen

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.

I've always enjoyed her columns in the NY Times. Great interview.

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.

Subtítulo en español por favor...

They are very impressive

"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

What the duck. Last ten clips haven’t been captioned

These vids are so quiet. I have my headphones on full blast and it's still quiet.

title of her book is wrong in the caption, "the future is history" not "the future is here"

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.

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?

Autism is going to save our world. Amazingly informing conversation, thank you!

Masha Gessen is just the bomb!

Definitely thought the guest was Rachel Maddow based on the thumbnail

Aww... her surname was misspelled on the thumbnail. 😣

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.

Alrite folks! We have to make space force!

This interview was way too short. I think what she said about lying in the open needed more elaboration.

Tho opening ad was an "official survey" of Trump's performance. Perhaps the're expecting clicks out of anger?

embrace yourself for the russian bots and trolls, they're everywhere these days

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.

I’m such a fan of her writing (and her brother Keith’s).

And now it's 2022:(

ATTN: TDS media team- Title of book is incorrect... i.e. "Here" -> "History"

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

I love her creative imagination ... rings so true to the ignorant masses.

Reupload huh? :((

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'.

Can we correct Masha Gessen‘s last name?

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 ⚠️

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.

I wouldn't call Putin a monarch. What about... a dictator?

"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

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 ☺️

What is that

I'd really like to see Trump's taxes.

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'

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.

She is very smart and reasonable. And... I am that type of Man who can openly say... Intelligence makes somebody sexy.

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.

adf

Asha grese gres

Asha grese

Except that he never said that Russia is in war with USA. That last one is total BS.

Blyat'

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.

first :D

Masha geese? Lmao get your spell check on daily show interns smh

putin is a monarch?

🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

0:48 - that's simply not true. Just Noah doing he's propaganda thing, I guess.

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.

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

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

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.
