President Zelensky & his Green Body-shirt, a fashion statement...Spot on, Go Ukraine!

Best Secretary of state, ever

Lol- and he has a great sense of humor! I'm loving Sec. Blinken !

Good show requires intelligence, so does good humor, even ... politics. Both of these guys seam to have it. If only most of the politicians - everywhere, demonstrated some levels of it ...

Kyiv not Kiev. Kiev is how it sounds and is written in Russian, Kyiv - in Ukrainian

I was worried Russia was ganna roll over Ukraine. The fact they are pushing them back is incredible. Good luck guys!

There's finally a U.S. ambassador to Ukraine! USA Today: The Senate confirmed Bridget Brink as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine on Wednesday

To show support for Ukraine, the spelling has changed from the Russian version “Kiev” to the Ukrainian version of “Kyiv”. Please change that and show your support.

There couldn't be a better person serving as the US Secretary of State than Anthony Blinken. He is as genuine as Zelensky.

It really does take a comedian to show us how serious things are.

"I need ammunition, not a ride." -Vladimir Zelenskyy, That's Winston Churchill level

What a refreshing change to have competent people in our government again

These GOP leaders needs to take a cognitive test and not take the blame on Biden

Love Blinken❤️ 💛🇺🇦💙

My favorite part about Stephen is his authenticity of self.

The Ukrainians got a better deal with their TV actor than we did with Trump.

I agree with the fashion statement, Zelensky carries himself pretty well in that green tee!

There are 3 videos with Blinken on May 19 and Colbert asked some fabulous questions.... and Bliken proved he has a great sense of humor. I hope we have have him back in a few days ....WHEN THE WAR IS OVER AND RUSSIA HAS GONE HOME.

It sure is nice to have a serious state department again and have a significantly better relationship with our NATO alliance countries.

Sec. Blinken said it right: a real leader stays and leads the people in times of struggle. Did you hear that Ted Cruz?

BRAVO

I am so proud and so happy that Mr Antony Blinken is our Secretary of state. Thank you ptesident Biden! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

Who knew that a capable smart man could also be remarkably funny.

TOP!

Love how calm and intelligent he is as compared to the yelling screaming last administration.

Clearly working towards the next Emmy. Great interview!

I want to hear the rest of the story about Mr Blinken's visit with Zelensky. It sounded like it was leading to something interesting.

Kyiv, not Kiev

It's really a positive to have a guest that is knowledgeable on your program. Especially one that isn't giving what he has to say marketability. Good show.

Impressive to have guests that can put full sentences together.

Blinken '24 🇺🇸

Let's all remember......Mike Pompeo used to have this job. What a contrast between styles.

The American Flag!👍

This guy is the right man at the right time. All that remains is for he & his pals, Winken & Nod to sail to Brussels in a wooden shoe! 😉 Slava Ukraini!

remember those "Republicans" critisizing the green t-shirt : Don"t Forget.

Ukrainians have a will and spirit of steel. This is what it looks like when people want sovereignty and freedoms not a hungry autocrat that only steals and bullies.

Kyiv!

Stephen please correct #KyivNotKiev

Kyiv

Ukrainians have a long history of bravery and resilience, President Zelenskiy is not different. What made the difference was his position and to lead as such - It truly made the difference.

Great interview :)

If this guy ever writes a book, im buying it

Mr. Colbert, please go visit Ukraine, visit the Ukrainian people, and please visit Mr. President Zelensky. Please do !!!

President Zelenskyj is an amazing leader. Smart, brave, cares about his people and knows how to communicate with the world. He's truly an ispiration to the whole World, there's not been many leaders like that in our lifetime. I hope he survives this war that will hopefully not last long anymore and that he gets reelected to oversee the reconstruction of Ukraine and its inclusion into EU. Slava Ukraini!

The correction jackal in me wants to say the title of this video should have Kyiv and not Kiev in the title. :)

Antony Blinken gives assurance that we lead the world again not freaking Chinese or Russians. Respect to you Sir. RIP Madeleine Albright.

Stephen Colbert, it's "Kyiv"

Blinken 2024. 🇺🇸

0:22 listening to some French news analysts talking about Zelinsky the other day it almost sounded like some Russian propaganda or kissing up to Russia the way they made it out to sound like Zelinsky is all about the camera angle and his inage and workibg the screen. A couple eventually chimed in, after like 10 minutes of this kissing up to the Russian slant that actually Zelensky shows true mettle and grit and stayed when his city was being bombed. That he is the voice of democracy and freedom and has earned his people's and the world's admiration and trust. But not without first sucking up to Russia, and saying Zelwnsky is a good tv man. About the embassy in Kyiv/Kiev reopening and being safe all of a sudden, how can you be so sure? Or is the American embassy's return a signal to Russia that "you mess with us or shoot down our embassy, you'll feel the fall-out"? Just wondering because they literally just took Mariupol, so it seems like Russian advances are working, and they are shellibg Odessa. So why all of a sudden is Kyiv/Kiev so safe? Also what is there to recapture, after Russia is through with it? They seem ghost towns of rubble and despair. Like Russia's lesson to Ukraine to not go trying to buddy up with the west. And that they can suddenly redefine what it is to be a war criminal/a nazi etc. They are the ones invading, bombing territory that is nit theirs. They are the clear aggressors. I'm really tired of hearing France talk about how to leave the door open for Russia to become European again. Russia takes advantage over any weakness. Also, reading Anne Frank for my daughter last night we got talking about how Germany was defested twice in both wars but didn't learn from the first world war. So when America says it wants to weaken Russia's ability to wage wars like this against their neighbors, it reminds me of WWI. And France shouldn't twist that to sound like America wants to weaken Russia and it's just some proxy wsr between the US and Russia. France is also a part of the war and they are filming their war analysts and debates and whatever. They take afvantage of freedom of speech and press etc. They should also try and stop playing bith sides. If I had been Zelensky I probably would have tried to flee or save my own skin. I think he has proven himself to be a true war hero among the likes of Churchill. And not justcto be some film star or man of the moment but to help motivate his country to defend itself and stand up for its own borders its own cities. I'm not sure I'd have been so gutsy under the same fire. But the way the French put it, you'd think it was some promo shoot. Meanwhile rigt wing extremists in America spread the Russian propaganda as well that the ones defending Mariupol were nazis. It's just nuts. It is a wsr in truth and our own observations. It is a gaslighting. Telling pregnant women who were bombed in their mstrrnity wards thatvthey had staged her own pregnancy or the photos or that they didn't know whether it was Ukraine bombing itself. I mean it is just nuts nuts nuts. We can believe our own eyes, too. And journalists do have a form of integrity we can trust as well. Right? Or should we all fsll for Russia's interpretation that Zelensky is some ouppet of the west? I think Zelensky teaches the west more about its values and its integrity than the other way around.

How has anybody not made an A.Blinken (Abe Lincoln) joke yet?? It's right there just waiting.

We all need to pronounce it Keev, the Kiev pronunciation is Russian. This will upset Putin.

Yes, he could have gotten out of town...like Ted Cruz did when it got chilly in Texas

What a thrill to have a leader *represent* you the way Zelensky represents Ukrainians! *snappy salute* 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦

It's Kyiv, not Kiev

LONG LIVE AMERICA AND AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

Blinken > Pompeo

Dear TLSwSC, it's KYIV, not "Kiev".

I think it takes a certain amount of courage to be a comedian. So if Russia ever attacks the US, I'd be willing to follow Stephen into battle -- with or without a green shirt on!

******Flag's Up!

HEY BLINKIN! sorry did you say Abe Lincoln?

What Sec Blinken said about the advantage of going with Sec Austin might sound like a joke, but in my language we have a saying that goes like this "mo ya go leeele, ga marumo a tla re thiba ka ene" loosely translated it means during war, we use the tall ones as shields 😅😅😅😅

I don't think they should have left the embassy in the first place.

I'm right with him on the green T Shirt. It gives Zelenski a common man look.

Is it just me or is the third part of this interview missing? The first video description says it's a three-part interview.

secured

President Zelensky is an INSPIRATION to the World, just as America has been an inspiration by IT'S ACTIONS !!! SLAVA UKRAINI !!!

part 2

If only the US showed the same zeal in supporting democracies even when it's not strategically important to them. In that case I might believe in their "altruism"

It's actually Kyiv, Kiev - is a russian way of pronunciation 👍

Please, write Kyiv. It is the correct translation from Ukrainian language. “Kiev” is from russian

Wikipedia says: “KyivNotKiev” it’s a political thing

well, you could go and interview him Stephen or zoom.

It’s Kyiv not Kiev!

How come the news isn't reporting this?

Blinken 2024!!! I'd vote for him. Lloyd Austin for VP. Think it is a ticket that might win.

I feel like something was about to be added to the green T-shirt story Maybe Austin couldn't get one in his size?

🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Stephen, please.. it's KYIV, not Kiev...

🔱

Selenskyj is the Churchill of our time. :)

it's spelled Kyiv

Western media: please, please use the Ukrainian spelling (Kyiv) and not the Russian spelling (Kiev)

"I need ammunition, not a ride". -Zelensky

The American embassy should not have been evacuated. The flag should not have left. The greatest symbol of democracy should have been visible for all to see. This is the problem with democratic thinking when faced with attack. this was not the time to run away. If I was there I would not have left.

As a German, I'm again bewildered by the American obsession with their flag 😅. If our foreign minister told such a story on the German embassy and flag, people would probably just laugh about it and think "eh, great that the embassy is open again, but who cares about that flag?".

Kyiv not Kiev, please

It is refreshing to watch and listen a professional and a diplomat. Secretary Blinken is light years above the bloated fascist and sycophant Pompeo we had during TFG's administration.

Y’all spelled “Kyiv” the Russian way. 🫤

Charles Krualt talk about Harry reasoner

What Zelensky demonstrates is that comedians are braver than politicians.

Slava Ukraine!!🌻🌻🌻🌻 Love you Blinken.

Nothing but respect for Zelinski! trumpy would've turned tail and run like a coward that he is!

I love zelensky, down to earth , he’s not shy to begging for everything he needs to save his country.

The flag means that the Army is at the outpost not that office workers are at desks ;)

It's spelled KYIV!! Guys please! As much as I appreciate your coverage and attention this pisses me off. Tthe spelling Kiev derives from Russian not Ukrainian

He couldn't just leave Ukraine, given the history of the march of millions. That's not where he wants to end up in history.

If it was known that Russia was coming in, EVERY free country should have sent military support to build such an formidable wall around Ukraine that it would have been suicidal for Russia to attempt to penetrate it. And with so many countries involved, the NATO threat excuse would be muted.

Did you say A. Blinken??

Zelensky puts every other politician on Earth to shame w his courage under fire & leadership. Good work, Sec Blinken. Thank God the USA has grown ups in charge, for now

Bravo Zelenskyy. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
