Any damage done in Portland to property is far outweighed by the negative effects of attacks on personal human freedoms.

Refreshing and enthralling to witness the eloquence and heartfelt compassion of this woman. This is, by far, one of the best interviews Colbert has ever hosted.
Yall need to do independent research if you think Trump is the bad guy. Ever notice how your news only mentions Trump? Never stuff that is actually going on? They are keeping you distracted from the things that actually matter. Like how the democrats have been paid by Chyna for decades. Pelosi has been smuggling drugs to keep Americans oppressed. Biden crime bill of 1994 resulted in millions of incarcerations. Look up the presidents "First step act" or his recent bill to reduce prescription medicine costs. Yall are being taken advantage of and it's very sad.
@@McJerkins Ok, but Biden has changed his tune on Police conduct, just like many others since then (including Bernie Sanders). His latest proposition of utilizing more community based policing is a start, but I'll agree there's a lot for him to explain after his long standing position on the expansion of police overreach in the suburbs. His ideas are vanilla and often times unoriginal and weak, but he at least will likely keep many more people alive and that's what really matters to a seemingly higher amount of people these days. I hate Joe Biden and Trump, like I REALLY hate Joe Biden. He sucks polished ass, but after the Coronavirus hit I had to go back on the idea of not voting. We are going to to fucking die under Trumps watch, or it certainly feels like it. He blew it with the no mask shit, man. I hate to talk badly about your pick, it's just how a lot, lot, LOT of people are feeling right about now. I didn't really care too much about 4 more years of DT before the pandemic but it's too late now. Btw, no hate, I respect your decision to vote for him, I believe everyone has their reasons. Just offering you the otherside's general reasoning for not agreeing with the notion that they're being taken advantage of. Joe Biden might still blow it on police reform, but most folks on the left/progressive side and even some republicans now are most worried about the immediate threat regarding the coronavirus.
McJerkins I do my own research 24/7 my friend, Trump is a sociopath who has no idea what he’s doing and literally never has. His successes are few and mainly dependent on others doing most if not all the work and him taking credit for it. I understand where you’re coming from, the media doesn’t report right, they’re too biased and you can’t get the truth unless you do your own digging, and my own digging has revealed that he is a liar, a racist, a really shitty landlord, and now he’s been a really shitty president. Sorry mate 🤷🏻♂️
If I was a governor or a Mayer of one of those states with people without identification and putting people in unmarked vans, I would arrest them on terrorist charges!
@Matthew Huszarik I don't know. What's the best way to stop an authoritarian takeover? ...Or dare I bring up the F word? Fascism didn't happen overnight in the past. This objectively doesn't look like a huge deal, but it very well could be a trial balloon for sending troops (it would have to be military for staffing reasons) into cities. About 80% of Americans live in cities. ...So if we don't push back hard? I fear the possibility of multiple cities getting invaded. I don't know if that is realistic. I don't know how the military itself would react to such an attempt to suborn civil government. Wanting to resist isn't being immature. It's acting on the concerns and conclusions I have, which are (moderately) rational. I would love to be overreacting? I don't know that I am. That's the scary part. I'm always afraid of disaster and I know that? So I reality-test myself a lot.
I think I would personally talk with the protest leaders, mark the national guard (whose job is to uphold the constitution) as being protectors of the protesters. Have them stand shoulder to shoulder with the peaceful protesters at the front line and protect them from unlawful arrest. I think with good communication with the crowd it would create a sense of unity between local forces and the residence protesting. Even the national guard was appalled to be used against protesters, so use them for the protesters. *Shrug*
Except their uniform has identification on it. It says police on both the front and back as well as a department insignia and an individual code for each officer. Why no name you may ask. Well a better person to ask would be one of the 38 Portland police officers who had their names, phone numbers, and addresses doxxed online by "peaceful protesters" who also suggested people go and visit the officers and their families.
Absolutely. It’s a try by the Dump at authoritarianism. Hopefully, it will be as successful as it’s business. Still, it’s more important than ever to keep an eye on what’s happening in the world, the hemisphere, the country, the state, the city, the town, the neighborhood and the street you live on. It’s difficult, still it needs be done.
If we had a Supreme Court and DOJ working in behalf of the American people instead of Trump and corporate profiteers, we'd be able to do precisely what you talk about. His enablers are the true cause of all this.

Problem is the police union in Oregon is supportive of trumps storm troopers being in Portland and have been in meetings with them. If Portland's mayor ordered swat or the police to arrest or deny access to gestapo they would refuse or resign just like all the others. The National Guard is a good possibility however.
@@hardrock3468 the National Guard is under control of the DoD, not a state. Learnt that recently as well. States may have state defense forces which are just a couple of dozen to a hundred volunteers with crap training and equipment.
@@mangalores-x_x Yes and no. The national guard is first and foremost a state agency thus they can be can be mobilized by the governor. Though they can also be called upon by the president to assist abroad as they were during the start of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Finally yeah the state guard are f-ing weird.
@debunker300 Nice gas lighting friend, but you are intentionally wrong. The mental gymnastics you use to justify Trumps fascist and unstable behavior is unfathomable. Portland's police, though heavy handed and deserving of reprimand, was rather well behaved and the protesters were peaceful, with few anarchist instigators trying to disrupt the message of the protests. Then Adolf Trump sent in his jackboots and everything has gone to hell since. By violating the constitution, federal, and local laws, Trump has concocted a recipe for disaster and violent revolution if he does not back down and end his madness.
OH, love you Ava D. Thanks for your great work and for making THIRTEENTH available to us for free. Will watch it now. And for look for LEAP. And yes--now Portland. Awful!!! Must stop. LEAP!!! NOW!!!
Unlike in the 1930s/40s in Germany when there weren't cameras everywhere everybody knows about the unmarked vans today. You cannot even pretend it's just rumours. The question is what you do about it once you know.
I wish in terms of mindset, the chasm between the North and the South, has narrowed because of leaders like John Lewis, but it really hasn't. I travel all over the US for business, and the divide, the racism, and the intolerance is still there, only thinly veiled with a smile and verbal restraint. Because I'm white, and when I'm only with whites in the south, the racist views are shared openly like nothing has ever changed nor ever will. People who seem rational, tolerant, and respectful on the outside say some of the most shocking things behind closed doors. Being born in WA/Seattle and living in CA, these viewpoints and thought processes are literally shocking as well as appalling and disgusting. It's only slightly under the surface, but the hate, fear, racism, and bigotry all still exist as they were prior to the late 60s. It's foolish to believe otherwise. They are literally fearful that being white in America is rapidly becoming a minority and there power, self aggrandized superiority, and privilege will fade with it.
Judging an entire group of people, as a group, based on one's inevitably limited experience, is exactly part of the problem, here, the very thing one should be resisting.
Damn Mr. Colbert, you are not only the Don Juan of journalism, but you continue to be the thorn in the paw of the lion that not many people choose to or have the courage to stand up and fight!

A long time ago, while some kids were writing "black lives matter" in chalk on one side of the blackboard, I was writing another phrase on the other side, "kiss my ass." And now we have grown up, but we have not become smarter.
I live in Germany and as I see all this US coverage over the last couple of months I‘m quite happy about that - regardless of the fact that I love your country and always met wonderful people when I came there. Not that everything is perfect over here, but at least we we can be sure that any non-uniformed, armed person attacking people / protesters would be send to prison right away, together with those who ordered it. I have one question about all this: Aren’t US-citizens actually allowed to use violence against these unmarked forces? Theoretically, it could be anyone.... Don’t you have the right to defend yourselves, with the use of firearms if necessary? I‘m just wondering where this all will end. All the best to all of you!
I'm pretty sure in this case escalation of the violence is what the fascists most desire. It would feed into their goals of providing a giant distraction to their pandemic failure and excite their brainwashed base that is in denial of their underlying racist motives and want to think that all the BLM stuff is just a front for "black gang" crimes. It could turn very ugly very quickly and then Trump/Barr would declare martial law, bring in tanks and drones, kill hundreds and cancel the election. Already highly armed right wing white terror groups are coming to these protests causing property damage (even shooting cops) with their goal of impersonating protestors and starting a civil war. So at least in this case, non-violent protest is the best path forward, because they are just drooling over the possibility of escalation. The other issue is that most of the gun rights advocates are on the right, who would more likely join in and kill "libtards" as they call us. It's not like we don't have guns too, but those always talking about gun rights would not help. So no, better to offer the image of hundreds of moms and thousands of mostly peaceful protestors being tear gassed than the image of people being shot to death to justify cancelling of the election like Barr wants.
SlabHardcheese Thank you for your answer. I did not want to say that bringing guns to a march/protest is a good idea. I was just wondering how likely the situation is to escalate this way. After all, anyone can buy a gun, and even Democrats may get fed up and go crazy at some point. I agree that Trump is just waiting for such an action. Your remarks about how right-wing militias could take adavantage of the situation really frighten me. In the beginning, people abroad just shook their heads over Trump and laughed at him, but now, at the latest, most people realize that it's probably better to worry. Here in Germany it didn't start much differently almost 100 years ago. I very much hope that Trump does not succeed in conjuring up his personal Reichskristallnacht...

These tactics were used to divide the people of UKRAINE before the Russian invasion
Thomas Panto Yes- if you haven't yet, pls watch Winter on Fire on Netflix. We are seeing a preview of Ukraine 2014 here in Portland 2020. They suddenly switched rubber bullets used against protesters to real ones midstream, among other atrocities... Paul Manafort, the random who parachuted in to become Trump's "campaign mgr" was behind that incident to bring Russia to power in Ukraine.
Scary shit, indeed.
What a brilliant compassionate amazing woman
Could listen to her all day long ❤️
Wow I didn’t realize she was *so damn pretty* (and ridiculously talented as well)
Yes, indeed.
yes she is fine, she used to be an actress.Clint Eastwood was one of her mentors.
Trump
Except that she supports rapists. She's probably not the one to be delivering this message. centralpark5joggerattackers.com/videos/ Most of them had parents that WERE there for the confessions. You mean to tell me that the parents allowed their children to falsely confess to something they didn't do ???
ruclips.net/video/qYFBRbkzWS4/видео.html
So she's NOT ridiculously talented at being smart of being a detective.
She is just amazing! Go Ava! Do EVERYTHING! 🙌🏼
Which makes it all the more unbelievable that we don’t have equally gifted and visionary leaders.
David Urquhart It shows that they’re out there but _something_ is keeping them down. What could it be? 🙄
Maria G. One theory is that we shoot down promising people for minor infractions and being good characters they agree and withdraw. As a result the primary attribute you are selecting for is shamelessness, dishonesty, manipulative personality etc.
She helped win a bunch of rapists 40 million dollars. centralpark5joggerattackers.com/videos/ Most of them had parents that WERE there for the confessions. You mean to tell me that the parents allowed their children to falsely confess to something they didn't do ???

Refreshing and enthralling to witness the eloquence and heartfelt compassion of this woman. This is, by far, one of the best interviews Colbert has ever hosted.
Vote Blue!! No more gop police state
yeah! Make EVERY state CHAZ/CHOP!! Peaceful summer of love coming up in 2021!!
@Bub the Zombie That's not fair! I am pretty sure they removed the bodies.
Thank you Stephen for helping me make it through these 3& some trump years
"Do everything" Don't rely on one game plan. Plan A, B,C etc.
Wow that's powerful💪
Yall need to do independent research if you think Trump is the bad guy. Ever notice how your news only mentions Trump? Never stuff that is actually going on? They are keeping you distracted from the things that actually matter. Like how the democrats have been paid by Chyna for decades. Pelosi has been smuggling drugs to keep Americans oppressed. Biden crime bill of 1994 resulted in millions of incarcerations. Look up the presidents "First step act" or his recent bill to reduce prescription medicine costs. Yall are being taken advantage of and it's very sad.
@@McJerkins Ok, but Biden has changed his tune on Police conduct, just like many others since then (including Bernie Sanders). His latest proposition of utilizing more community based policing is a start, but I'll agree there's a lot for him to explain after his long standing position on the expansion of police overreach in the suburbs. His ideas are vanilla and often times unoriginal and weak, but he at least will likely keep many more people alive and that's what really matters to a seemingly higher amount of people these days. I hate Joe Biden and Trump, like I REALLY hate Joe Biden. He sucks polished ass, but after the Coronavirus hit I had to go back on the idea of not voting. We are going to to fucking die under Trumps watch, or it certainly feels like it. He blew it with the no mask shit, man. I hate to talk badly about your pick, it's just how a lot, lot, LOT of people are feeling right about now. I didn't really care too much about 4 more years of DT before the pandemic but it's too late now. Btw, no hate, I respect your decision to vote for him, I believe everyone has their reasons. Just offering you the otherside's general reasoning for not agreeing with the notion that they're being taken advantage of. Joe Biden might still blow it on police reform, but most folks on the left/progressive side and even some republicans now are most worried about the immediate threat regarding the coronavirus.
McJerkins I do my own research 24/7 my friend, Trump is a sociopath who has no idea what he’s doing and literally never has. His successes are few and mainly dependent on others doing most if not all the work and him taking credit for it. I understand where you’re coming from, the media doesn’t report right, they’re too biased and you can’t get the truth unless you do your own digging, and my own digging has revealed that he is a liar, a racist, a really shitty landlord, and now he’s been a really shitty president. Sorry mate 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you Ava.
She is so talented and so beautiful.
Love what you do, Stephen!
If I was a governor or a Mayer of one of those states with people without identification and putting people in unmarked vans, I would arrest them on terrorist charges!
They deserve it.
Matthew Huszarik but when it’s hard to tell if it’s a terrorist group who dress the same as the federal troops, we need to fight back!
@Matthew Huszarik
I don't know.
What's the best way to stop an authoritarian takeover?
...Or dare I bring up the F word?
Fascism didn't happen overnight in the past.
This objectively doesn't look like a huge deal, but it very well could be a trial balloon for sending troops (it would have to be military for staffing reasons) into cities.
About 80% of Americans live in cities.
...So if we don't push back hard?
I fear the possibility of multiple cities getting invaded. I don't know if that is realistic. I don't know how the military itself would react to such an attempt to suborn civil government.
Wanting to resist isn't being immature. It's acting on the concerns and conclusions I have, which are (moderately) rational.
I would love to be overreacting? I don't know that I am.
That's the scary part. I'm always afraid of disaster and I know that? So I reality-test myself a lot.
I think I would personally talk with the protest leaders, mark the national guard (whose job is to uphold the constitution) as being protectors of the protesters. Have them stand shoulder to shoulder with the peaceful protesters at the front line and protect them from unlawful arrest. I think with good communication with the crowd it would create a sense of unity between local forces and the residence protesting. Even the national guard was appalled to be used against protesters, so use them for the protesters. *Shrug*
Except their uniform has identification on it. It says police on both the front and back as well as a department insignia and an individual code for each officer. Why no name you may ask. Well a better person to ask would be one of the 38 Portland police officers who had their names, phone numbers, and addresses doxxed online by "peaceful protesters" who also suggested people go and visit the officers and their families.
Absolutely. It’s a try by the Dump at authoritarianism. Hopefully, it will be as successful as it’s business. Still, it’s more important than ever to keep an eye on what’s happening in the world, the hemisphere, the country, the state, the city, the town, the neighborhood and the street you live on. It’s difficult, still it needs be done.
If we had a Supreme Court and DOJ working in behalf of the American people instead of Trump and corporate profiteers, we'd be able to do precisely what you talk about. His enablers are the true cause of all this.
Juzek Pilsucki What a moronic thing to say. You must be really stupid.
How can I give this more thumbs up?
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Love Ava!
omg....she is soooo beautiful.
In all ways she is a testament to not cracking.
What a shallow comment.
She's unknowingly a liar who helped get a bunch of rapists a payout. centralpark5joggerattackers.com/videos/ Most of them had parents that WERE there for the confessions. You mean to tell me that the parents allowed their children to falsely confess to something they didn't do ???
ruclips.net/video/qYFBRbkzWS4/видео.html
What a beautiful soul she is. Respect.
Nah, she made an inaccurate documentary to win money for some rapists. centralpark5joggerattackers.com/videos/ Most of them had parents that WERE there for the confessions. You mean to tell me that the parents allowed their children to falsely confess to something they didn't do ???
ruclips.net/video/qYFBRbkzWS4/видео.html
Such important info. Love Ava. She’s doing important work. Thanks.
Best interview yet. So full of information.
our governor Kate Brown should've called in the national guard on these "Gestapo" officers, the mayor could've called in SWAT in Portland
Problem is the police union in Oregon is supportive of trumps storm troopers being in Portland and have been in meetings with them. If Portland's mayor ordered swat or the police to arrest or deny access to gestapo they would refuse or resign just like all the others. The National Guard is a good possibility however.
@@hardrock3468 the National Guard is under control of the DoD, not a state. Learnt that recently as well. States may have state defense forces which are just a couple of dozen to a hundred volunteers with crap training and equipment.
@@mangalores-x_x Yes and no. The national guard is first and foremost a state agency thus they can be can be mobilized by the governor. Though they can also be called upon by the president to assist abroad as they were during the start of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Finally yeah the state guard are f-ing weird.
@debunker300 Nice gas lighting friend, but you are intentionally wrong. The mental gymnastics you use to justify Trumps fascist and unstable behavior is unfathomable. Portland's police, though heavy handed and deserving of reprimand, was rather well behaved and the protesters were peaceful, with few anarchist instigators trying to disrupt the message of the protests. Then Adolf Trump sent in his jackboots and everything has gone to hell since. By violating the constitution, federal, and local laws, Trump has concocted a recipe for disaster and violent revolution if he does not back down and end his madness.
OH, love you Ava D. Thanks for your great work and for making THIRTEENTH available to us for free. Will watch it now. And for look for LEAP. And yes--now Portland. Awful!!! Must stop. LEAP!!! NOW!!!
Unlike in the 1930s/40s in Germany when there weren't cameras everywhere everybody knows about the unmarked vans today. You cannot even pretend it's just rumours.
The question is what you do about it once you know.
This lady is amazing intelligent, courageous, beautifu role model
I wish in terms of mindset, the chasm between the North and the South, has narrowed because of leaders like John Lewis, but it really hasn't. I travel all over the US for business, and the divide, the racism, and the intolerance is still there, only thinly veiled with a smile and verbal restraint. Because I'm white, and when I'm only with whites in the south, the racist views are shared openly like nothing has ever changed nor ever will. People who seem rational, tolerant, and respectful on the outside say some of the most shocking things behind closed doors. Being born in WA/Seattle and living in CA, these viewpoints and thought processes are literally shocking as well as appalling and disgusting. It's only slightly under the surface, but the hate, fear, racism, and bigotry all still exist as they were prior to the late 60s. It's foolish to believe otherwise. They are literally fearful that being white in America is rapidly becoming a minority and there power, self aggrandized superiority, and privilege will fade with it.
Thank you Blaine for sharing this critical information.
Home sick
Wow. You've said a mouthful and confirmed what I, as a Black person, always suspected to be true.
Judging an entire group of people, as a group, based on one's inevitably limited experience, is exactly part of the problem, here, the very thing one should be resisting.
"Do everything "... what a beautiful idea and gift. Thankyou got sharing it, Ava.
I don't need to know about Trump's congnitive test, he thought it was a good idea to inject disinfectants, all I need to know.
Damn Mr. Colbert, you are not only the Don Juan of journalism, but you continue to be the thorn in the paw of the lion that not many people choose to or have the courage to stand up and fight! I am so appreciative of all that you do to try and help all of us learn and stay on top of the facts as they truly stand. Your insight, humor and ability to reach out to so many people while it is very much needed has helped all of us to get the knowledge that we all need so badly against those that would strip this country bare of all of it's pride and power. Only to hand it over to the few who's ravines appetite is never filled. I wish health and peace for you and yours, Jim
I will be watching Selma & 13th. Thank you for this interview.
Don't watch When they see us though. centralpark5joggerattackers.com/videos/ Most of them had parents that WERE there for the confessions. You mean to tell me that the parents allowed their children to falsely confess to something they didn't do ???
ruclips.net/video/qYFBRbkzWS4/видео.html
@@morgankelly9725 get educated on coercion. Then you could possibly understand how and why those false confessions happened. Get informed.
@@brandyspain7125 It doesn't mean THESE were coerced. And their parents were at their confessions. Why did Duvernay imply that they weren't ? Why would anyone believe a Hollywood movie when the director left information out, or gave inaccuracies ? You know who was truly informed ? The two multicultural juries, many members of which were probably familiar with coercion. And they still found the Five guilty. Unanimously.
@@morgankelly9725 get a life
@@brandyspain7125 Obviously YOU need to get a life. Because all you've done is respond to my comments with no useful information or counterpoints to why the juries found them guilty.
I have grown up in Salem Oregon and Albany Oregon. Gentle, peaceful places. Blessed am I.
Queen Ava!!
What a great interview. Thank you Stephen for what you are doing for society. God Bless you!
This was such an amazing segment. When I watched 13th I was floored and furious... it blew my mind and really set things into perspective for me from the other side because my parents were both correctional officers.
Ok, I'm gonna watch this, "13th", now...you're like the 5th comment that said it's good...
Thank you!❤💯
@@shannon3944 of course! I did not expect it to be what it was.
Thankyou Ava and Steven and the crew Heavy duty

LOVE LOVE LOVE this segment. Thank you for having the conversation that is missing from mainstream reporting. So happy to hear my sentiments about the mystery militia, and the tribute to John Lewis!
“Together we must fight” “Equal we are” yup. Yoda and John Lewis, similar lmaoooo
If you commit crimes you need to take responsibility regardless of your skin color; setting businesses on fire, looting, and toppling statues are crimes.
Ava's rad.
Hi, I'm a lifelong resident of Portland! Thank you Stephen and Ava, you amazing humans, for talking about this. :)
Love to Ava!
This was a refreshingly intelligent and passionate conversation.
Does anybody know what is happening to the people who are being arrested in Portland?
Nope and we should really be concerned. It's been way too quiet.
That is a question I would love to have answered. Have they returned to or contacted families/friends? If not, what is happening in terms of legal rights and responses?
I have never heard of this women before . Now I am enlightened by this extraordinary person . Thx Stephan for bringing this to OUR attention and many others thru your show !!!!
" this is what our country have supposedly gone to fight other countries against "
well, after 20 years invading poor third world countries, this is what karma does to a country that has sent dictators to those countries and killed thousands of innocent people
What an amazing woman.
The ignorant masses, the hoard of fool, shall flock to The Anti-Christ, King of the Fools,
and follow without question, or care for what is right or wrong.
Dude, have you even listened to whenever Biden talks?? If you do, you'd hear a jumble of rants that don't make sense! So, that's what you want in November, right?
@@mayasilliman1465
It is not whether the man is smart or stupid,
it is whether he is good or evil.
From what I've seen of Joe, he is good.
@jack brandt This must be very old stuff because I've not heard of any of it.
I take it you have links to the proof you claim?
Can we take a moment to celebrate how intelligent of an interviewer Stephen Colbert is? We are so lucky that this show is on air. And what a magnificent interviewee Ava is. Thank you.
40 hrs x $15.00 = $600 WOW -------I challenge Congress to live on that budget of $600 a week while they on are a month paid vacation, compliments of wage earners/tax payers!
This was one of Colbert's best interviews. I'd enjoyed DuVernay's work for years, but had never seen her. Kudos.
What is happening in Portland is one of the most dark times in US history , we send troops to other countries when this happen, maybe is time to send US troops to Portland because this men in military uniform kidnapping citizens are mercenaries not military
Bless you for interviewing this wonderful woman.
In Nazi Germany, the "little green men" wore "BROWN SHIRTS".
The offspring of mammals try to learn and carry on the success of their species, even if they are told that "success" was by murdering themselves for Coins , flags , religions , armies invisible borders and other LIES made of mere of words.
In trump's America, the "little green men" should wear BROWN SHORTS because everything they do they do from fear.
Antifa and BLM.
@jack brandt , only our LIES made of MERE WORDS need children trained and armed to enforce the lies on the defenders of Life and Truth.
ALL the swords, muskets , cannons and nuclear weapons can not erase the 13 BILLION YEARS of evolving TRUTH that evolve the STARVING PREDATORS into intelligent Human Life that has been planting, hatching, raising, educating, elevating, evolving and protecting Life and FEEDING the future of Creation for 3.8 Billion years.
I'm pretty confident that Ms. Ava WILL do everything!
The Gestapo tactics happening in Portland are only spreading to other cities and states and it's barely talked about in the media.
Thank you Ana DuVernay. Keep making movies. You make Lewis proud.
I admire Ms Duvernay so much!❤️
Thx, Stephen...really good interview.❤️
Absolutely great interview. I wish Britain had a chat show like this.
So elegant and eloquent a young person, you are so enlightening abd informative.
Thank You
The best interview i have seen you do Stephen. I wish your TV show was more like this. You are so much more likeable without all the gymicky aspects.
Thanks for your show, humor and Intellect with Great Guests & conversations...
Ava, what a terrific job on " 13th". Fantastic! Mahalo.
Ava. Give it ALL to us! Love you. Love your docs.
Wow she is so well spoken! I need to watch more of her work, the way she talks about history and her re creation of these scenes is fascinating. Great interview!
Ava is brilliant
Beautiful, smart, kind and a exceptional director!! I can't wait to see her next project!!
Thank you, AVA!
Can't wait till November.....
if we make it that long
YES! Love the idea of your next documentary!! Presidents Being Bad..
A long time ago, while some kids were writing "black lives matter" in chalk on one side of the blackboard, I was writing another phrase on the other side, "kiss my ass." And now we have grown up, but we have not become smarter.
That interview bloody made me cry, twice. Beautiful stuff!
Thank you for the long interview, I’m glad it wasn’t rushed. Going to go watch The 13th right now!
I haven’t even heard whether *all* of the people snatched have been released. Have any been charged? Where is the media on this?
Ugh she’s such a queen!! 👑
This was a really relevant and good interview. Ava was very well spoken. I was young when I saw Dr. King on television. He was so inspiring to hear.
I could listen to her talk all day.
More of this, Colbert!💜
Love Colbert and his humor. Love AD!!
I live in Germany and as I see all this US coverage over the last couple of months I‘m quite happy about that - regardless of the fact that I love your country and always met wonderful people when I came there. Not that everything is perfect over here, but at least we we can be sure that any non-uniformed, armed person attacking people / protesters would be send to prison right away, together with those who ordered it. I have one question about all this: Aren’t US-citizens actually allowed to use violence against these unmarked forces? Theoretically, it could be anyone.... Don’t you have the right to defend yourselves, with the use of firearms if necessary? I‘m just wondering where this all will end. All the best to all of you!
I'm pretty sure in this case escalation of the violence is what the fascists most desire. It would feed into their goals of providing a giant distraction to their pandemic failure and excite their brainwashed base that is in denial of their underlying racist motives and want to think that all the BLM stuff is just a front for "black gang" crimes. It could turn very ugly very quickly and then Trump/Barr would declare martial law, bring in tanks and drones, kill hundreds and cancel the election. Already highly armed right wing white terror groups are coming to these protests causing property damage (even shooting cops) with their goal of impersonating protestors and starting a civil war. So at least in this case, non-violent protest is the best path forward, because they are just drooling over the possibility of escalation. The other issue is that most of the gun rights advocates are on the right, who would more likely join in and kill "libtards" as they call us. It's not like we don't have guns too, but those always talking about gun rights would not help. So no, better to offer the image of hundreds of moms and thousands of mostly peaceful protestors being tear gassed than the image of people being shot to death to justify cancelling of the election like Barr wants.
SlabHardcheese Thank you for your answer. I did not want to say that bringing guns to a march/protest is a good idea. I was just wondering how likely the situation is to escalate this way. After all, anyone can buy a gun, and even Democrats may get fed up and go crazy at some point. I agree that Trump is just waiting for such an action. Your remarks about how right-wing militias could take adavantage of the situation really frighten me. In the beginning, people abroad just shook their heads over Trump and laughed at him, but now, at the latest, most people realize that it's probably better to worry. Here in Germany it didn't start much differently almost 100 years ago. I very much hope that Trump does not succeed in conjuring up his personal Reichskristallnacht...
