Vice President Joe Biden Interview, Part 2

Part two of Vice President Joe Biden's full interview with Stephen Colbert.

[Muzikrazy]

Joe went completely off-script here. And Colbert made a decision that starts to shape his style in late night and he let him talk. his. bloody. heart out.
Bravo, Colbert. Most other late-night comedians would get antsy with no laughter from the audience and either throw in a joke to lighten the mood or refer to the cue cards for another dumb, network-appeasing, late-night-talk-show question. But not you, Stephen. Not. You.
Once again, Bra-fucking-vo, Colbert. Brilliant stuff here and the part of the George Clooney interview that sadly did not make it to air.

This...this is why I watch Stephen Colbert and why I watched Letterman and Jon Stewart. Fallon is fun, his games with celebrities are of course entertaining and likable, but with Colbert and his ilk I get genuine conversations from people who matter, and moment of introspection and understanding and just genuine reflections of human experience. That's so, so much more satisfying than celebrities lip syncing songs from other celebrities.

Biden seems like the complete total opposite of Trump. Like night and day.

"This president has had more land on his desk than any president in modern history"
Oh...oh Joe...if only you knew how much you'd have to deal with...

[joesdi]

Mr. President, may the Almighty God protect you and VP Harris. Please do not lose your empathy and sensitivity. Auguri, from Rome.

Thank you for making the videos available internationally!

I lost my beautiful son (Josh) this past year.

This comment is simply to honor a man whose empathy for others as expressed during the interview with Colbert gave us all a glimpse into the man who lost his son, which I can attest that losing a child is the greatest pain anyone can experience...yet Biden was selfless in his compassion for others in this interview. if i were a Democrat, I think Biden is who I would want to represent my party. i cried listening to him speak about Beau and cemented my belief that Joe is a genuine guy that anyone would love to have the opportunity to meet one-on-one.

Hand salute to you sir and to your son Beau for all that your family has endured to serve this great Country.

Who’s here after he is running against Trump
Edit: here after biden won

[camq-pybs]

Joe Biden is one of the strongest people I know. He's lost so much, yet he keeps going. Idk how he does it.

Vice President Biden talks of being choked up in front of the troops as a chacter flaw to be overcome if you run for the presidency. Not to back talk you Sir, but on this point I wholeheartedly disagree. That expression of emotion belies a sensitivity, and heartfelt sense of what it means to be human, that is greatly lacking in the political sphere of today. Your dignity, strength, and humility, are what make you unique, and among a select group of politicians to be trusted. You have my sincerest of apologies regarding the losses of your wife and son, as well. Many would have crumbled under such an emotional burden, but you persevere. The memory of the kindness, and decency, of your family are carried on in you, and you are representing them very well. God Speed to you Sir, and if you ever do run for President someday, you will have this voter's full support. :)

i dont understand how people can dislike this guy

[burkepota]

Stephen impressed the hell out of me in this interview. It was done with such care, such class and such ask a question and then let the person 'really answer'. And Joe Biden did that with such depth, honesty and integrity.... this is a great interview and an example of what we can learn from them. Good stuff Stephen. Be proud because this is great television.

[simplyamazin]

Coming from someone with a fairly conservative background: Like Colbert the amount of sheer sincerity this man has after all of his time in the front lines of politics is amazing. I genuinely hope more people follow in his lead. He might not see himself as a good candidate for a president but I certainly see why he could be. In this day in age there are hundreds of thousands of people going through things like this in daily life. Knowing you have a president who wears the same shoe as you is definitely a country wide morale booster. We're all going through this together. It gets kind of lost in the shuffle but it's true. Having a Commander in Chief to exemplify that wouldn't be a bad thing.

Kimmel is just mean, Conan is very sarcastic (in a funny way), Fallon is somewhat annoying but has entertaining guests, but Colbert....he's genuine. He's funny. He brings guests that no other late show host would bring, people who actually matter rather than just a bunch of celebrities, and then he lets these people speak their hearts out and responds empathetically. Glad to see this continue from the Colbert Report/Daily Show, because in the end, that's really what sets him (and Jon Stewart) apart: being able to elegantly tackle issues beyond "who lip sings better"

[vaylonkenadell]

"What's the use of being Irish if you don't know that life's going to break your heart?" That's pretty powerful.

[vicksjenkins]

I'm not American so don't have skin in the game but you guys need to elect this man

[shakespeareancupcake]

that man deserves a tour through America just so people can give him hugs and talk to him over coffee.

Who's watching this right after Biden won in 2020?

[readneuromancerbywilliamgi]

This is some REAL SHIT. NO ONE talks like this in Washington. I don't really like Biden or the entire Obama administration but huge respect. He is truly speaking as a human from the heart about what it's like to be at such an intense, high level position in the world

[spencerfrankclayton]

Biden may be a part of the Obama-Clinton gang, but he's so different than them. He speaks from his heart, is honest, and is himself. He doesn't seem rehearsed, and is open about his feelings. His words about the mindset of someone running for president is pure wisdom. Of course he's said some silly things, but he's a genuinely nice person.
