Should be required viewing for our citizens and our schools tomorrow..freedom is often taken for granted in the US, important to see how valuable it truly is and why people fight for it

I watched. 60 Minutes at it's best; they dirty themselves carrying Deep State water.

Also liked the Hallucinogenic segment. Of course, I would. But a six hour trip on a couch with a coach petting their hand...is a tad light.

"taken for granted", S...very true. "Where there is no vision...my people die". If I had a choice of consuming a drug or going through a real life social collapse nightmare...I know what I'd choose. Always think about my beautiful and spoiled Great Granddaughter...damn...life is merciless. But for the Vision that puts all things in proper perspective.

What a great win for the Tigers.

Yep, I rarely watch it as well but when I saw they had imbedded reporters on the street I knew it would have to be truthful regarding their struggle for simply freedom. Must have some NBA coaches downvoting me though..

Profound irony in this whole scenario. Our 'protestors' promoting the Fascism that they purport to protest against...and Hong Kong citizens protesting the imposition of China's Fascist Authoritarian Socialism...Nationalist version.

And the most profound irony, being that our Protestors and Dem Party destroys the very Freedom and Document that codifies said Freedom...and will leave our Government no choice but to suspend (temporarily I hope) said Constitutional Freedoms for the sake of civil security. It's like David Koresh and his self-fulfilling prophecy.

Insane.

The segment on Nadia Murad, the Yazidi activist and Nobel Prize winner, was compelling.

I thought they were part of the “liberal media” and not to be trusted. Are you saying it is ok to “cherrypick” their information if it fits the narrative?

They are.

Nah..they're just shooting for plausible deniability since they've been proven to be liberal hacks.

Just my opinion...others may feel differently.

Yes it was, T. A plain young woman, just got caught up in a horrific storm. I think of my own Family. I think of this Syrian Guy I saw on another interview...lament how beautiful his life in Syria was...before the nightmare. Very sad. And should be a warning to all.

I truly hope to live long enough to see "they will beat their swords into plowshears"...but I suspect that we all have some serious pain coming before we get there.

There are people here who don't give a damn about anything that doesn't directly affect them. Also some people here who love to see those NBA fools dribble that ball, completely disregarding the fact that these idiots will slam America while they're kissing China's arse.

They might squeeze it in after they learn the ins and outs of the gender spectrum.

Oh yeah, they are definitely part of the liberal media, but the story got my attention on the previews as I knew it had to have been filmed before the NBA scandal. The raw dialogue with the protesters was inspiring and that was why I watched it and made note of it. Freedom is a precious commodity and it’s value can’t be taken for granted.
