“Four years ago, when I was fifty years younger.” Me too John
Don't we all?
r/hmmm
When he said that and he showed us the picture of him 4 years ago I realized how much his hair has frayed during this presidency. I hope he’s doing all good
@@alexfontana4505 He's got to keep up with Trump, keep himself and his family save from Covid-19, and has a young son to take care of. So...
Same, I looked at a pic of me four years ago. Holy shit, at least I'm not the only one.
Dear America, Re: Border Wall We tried. Cannot recommend. Love, Germany
Germany didn't build that wall, Russia/USSR did.
ussr build the wall mind you, to keep people from leaving.
More like France and the Maginot line
They could ask thr chinese how useful ot was against the mongols
Dear America , Build a wall We tried, and it's amazing Love, Israel .
“YOU CAN’T REMOVE THE CONFEDERATE STATUES! IT’S HISTORY!” “What about Native American history?” “Lol what?”
Excellent!
@@johnravetta4704 The episode about Tucker Carlson made me realize there isn't a contradiction here, because the unspoken part of the belief they're expressing is that Europeans are the only people with a real culture and history. A surprising number of Americans are nothing short of white supremacists, though they think they're just being "realistic." This is what happens when your school system prioritizes specific narratives over learning and facts.
@@coaxill4059 The hilarious part of this is how much Europe has come to hate the US, like a lot of people already had disdain for the US but the last few years have made people actually genuinely despise the US.
@@hedgehog3180 The funny part is you could replace “Europe” with “the US” in that post and it would still be accurate.
@@ShonenJumpAddict not really i dont know any americans who hate europe tbh.

Putting the wall through a wildlife preserve is literally something a cartoon villain would do
funny you should say that because that is exactly what Trump looks like !!!
Well, I'm sure Roger Stone made some kind of contribution. So, yeah...

Conservitives: The government can't pay for health care. Also conservitives: Surely the government can pay for the wall.
U think they cost the same?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean ... The wall is built once and done with Health care in ongoing forever
The dumbassery and the hypocrisy is always prevalent
@@Fabianhill118 no not really, the walls, such as any barrier, will always need maintenance. One could argue that a border wall is cause for further expenses, whereas a good healthcare system will lessen them in the long run by preventive measures.
@@Fabianhill118 The wall will require maintainence. There is erosion. The wall isnt even effective. My point is conservatives act like any time the gov spends money its socialism untill its convenient for them.
@@Fabianhill118 Its not as if its a cheap solution. When anyone suggests any gov healthcare eevryone asks heaps of questions. That wasn't the case when trump built the wall. But hey, mayber mexico will pay for our healthcare.
The writers on this show are absolute savages. That bit at the end was amazing.
Colonel Pepper I always hear passion from John in the endings of videos like these
Sometimes I question if it's the writers or if it's him ad-libbing it.
@@fallingspark2258 Yes, I get the impression John contributes big time, especially with shaping things up.
I believe a lot of them were writers for Jon Stewart.
But they totally blew a perfectly good chance to sneak a “camels toe” joke in the bit about the pageant.
Chad Wolf is so Chad Wolf that I'm betting he named himself that.
Yeah, he came out of the womb, slapped the doctor and said. "I think I'll be Chad."
I had the same thought!
you know what, if you're desperate enough that you're willing to climb those craggy-ass mountains to get in here, you should just be given a green card the moment you step over the border, because not only does that show desperation, it also displays that you have significant skills to contribute to the workforce.
As someone studying archaeology, the tearing through native land hurts so much
The problem is that the people who donated money for this wall will never watch this video ...
Some shot themselves in the face
Or they will but will claim it's all lies. It's wild how people can write off something like this as untrue left wing propaganda, and then five minutes later share something on Facebook that is clearly a lie if you spend five minutes Googling it. Did the thousands of people who downvoted this video watch it? Or did they watch it and think it was untrue? Or did they watch it, think it was true, and downvote it anyway?
or learn...anything
Soroush Ghazi - Probably not. They'll just head straight to the comments and post "Fake News!"
Even if they do, since they are cultists without much of thinking capability, they would outright be in denial or call it fake news
Presidents typically age excessively during presidency, this presidency has excessively aged the citizens.
well said
It's a Dorian Gray presidency
Trump made me fat.
Because there was no president in office, and the reality of the disaster that is the Republican party has fully hit you all in the face.
Point... Match
I remember seeing on the Daily Show that those metal pipes could be cut by any handsaw that you find at a hardware store.
I remember seeing on samantha bees show people just climbing over it. The youngest one being 9.
@@mlpfanboy1701 I haven't seen full frontal in a while
Conservatives: The government shouldn't be wasting so much money Also conservatives: Anyway, here's borderwall!
@Professor C No, it doesn't. The wall doesn't "pay" for anything, as it's very expensive and doesn't reduce other expenses.
We need to stop referring to them as conservatives.. The Republican Party hasn't been conservative for years.

Brian’s face when Bannon made that “joke” was a give away in itself, his face looked like he was saying “dude are you high right now shut the hell up!” But couldn’t break his smile for the camera.
Absolute psychopath.
They--the untaxed rich-- joke about what they're doing to us by living only for themselves and ignoring that they live in a society. Their motto is "I'll Be Gone, You'll Be Gone" (IBG YBG). Instagram: youshouldbeangry2020
Best frozen, stunned smile I've seen in a while.
His point was to mock the allegations wasn't it? It's not like it was the first time the audience was hearing this stuff. Or was it for most people?
He completely missed footage of the wall literally falling over. The wind has knocked down several sections of this wall. It is literally falling over, not in risk of falling over but is falling over.
I was waiting for that too. When the news first broke on that though, it seemed like there were some questions that needed answering. It's possible the videos turned out to be misleading or hard to fact check, and thus weren't included in the segment.
Also it might possibly not be from a part of the new wall, it could be old deteriorated sections of the wall falling
César Oliveira It definitely looked like the new slat wall thought, and it was reported by dozens of media outlets as new sections falling because the concrete hadn’t fully set in from the day before when they were installed

The lack of a live audience seems to magnify Oliver's anger.
And at times his lack of comedic material.
@@DeadDiznee I'm also getting the impression it's becoming more and more a form of very critical news/criticism and less and less comedy. But then again, I was getting that impression ever since the Trump presidency started. Frustration maybe?
And decimates any perception that comedy is taking place...
I dont get that impression. This isnt Colbert
@@michielecker Maybe because Trump is actually starting to do very real harm. At first, he just seemed like an incompetent jackoff making himself look dumb. But now, people are dying from drinking his covid potion, and natives are getting their fucking lands blown up.

Well, that explains 2020. We disturbed Indian burial grounds.

The entire country is built on disturbed Native American burial grounds.
America has been destroying Native Americans’ land since forever
@@Rasip True 😞
It does explain something
I love how you see John is actually pissed off about this.
Of course he is; the reboot of the Gilmore Girls was ridiculous.
This guy has never felt emotion in his life, for he is a robot
And rightfully so. Even if you are anti-immigration and don't care about the animals and natives harmed, the wall should piss you off as being ineffectual and costing the tax payer billions.
@Allison You have to remember, even though John became a US citizen, he's still British. They're all like that, the whole "stiff upper lip thing" learned during the Blitz.
@James Town Russians seem pretty happy.
Nobody, besides teachers and literal children, should ever use the words ‘super-duper’ to describe literally *anything*
There were actual climbers who made short work of climbing the wall.
12 yr old girl climbed it ,dad taught her !
@Aditya Chavarkar too funny.
@@jasonpop1628 a 9 year old was the first to climb it.
I could feel the table pounding rage behind John’s eyes. The break in the chairman’s voice as he spoke about the detonations just broke my heart..
Honestly I was glad to see him pissed! I mean he barely cracked any jokes at all.
makes me recall Trumps proclamation for DOMINATION. White man over Indians. We live in such fun times....NOT
Republicans wail about “religious freedom”, yet continually shit on every religion but their own. Actually, by supporting Trump, they are destroying their own religion as well.
Tbf I thought that dude was over egging it in a massive way...but, yeh thats pretty much any American who gets 2 + mins of facetime on TV. One thing it doesnt change, the details behind it all.
Tom I dunno, I feel like a Frenchman or an Italian would feel the same when someone were to do the same thing to Notre Dame or the Collisseum respectively. Just because the natives don’t have anything built there doesn’t mean that it’s any less valuable to them on a cultural level.
Rock climber here. When the wall design was released, there was a climbing competition where climbers all tried to climb a replica. It was ridiculously easy.
I'm a rock climber...one glance at that wall and I could think of several ways to climb it quickly and easily
I'm probably whatever the exact opposite of a rock climber is and it still looks ridiculously easy to climb to me
I bet that the super duper wall is harder
Daaamn... That closing statement comparing the wall to this administration was straight up poetry. This is one of the most important popular shows.
The sheer vehemence he has in his voice at the end segment was genuinely rallying, he unflinchingly voices something I can't believe all Americans aren't behind, as an Australian I understand we have our share of issues with our own childlike government, inept policies and honestly just straight up cringe worthy parliamentary debates, but you America, are in a league all of your own.
+Damadus Actually it's not all of America, it's a part of America you're referring to and trust me we who are existing here in the saner more normal other half of reality, we who can understand the difference between straight up liars and thieves and the usual regular brand of politicians,.... we agree totally. These peeps are off their rockers ! This is what you get when you cross lack of education with gullible people looking for a scapegoat.

“He looks like his parents started with the name Chad Wolf and found a baby to match” 😂😂😂

I'm mexican, I live on the border, I've seen a lot of people climb that wall like a piece of cake. I also have seen a lot of people kissing and hugging through the wall...
Lmfao

I have to honest here, climbing the wall looks like a lot fun
awesome
That border wall is making trump supporters look more STUPID 🤪than before 🤣🤣🤣😂😅
Every time John Oliver does a segment on Trump, he really looks like he's going to burst from rage and he's using every cell of his body to hold it back.
trump presidency made his hair grow gray ten times as fast
Hence why he needs to keep Adam Driver in his life! He needs to some joy somehow.
Being that emotional isn’t a good thing. It doesn’t really inspire confidence about John’s objectivity.
thats called TDS
Silhouette I’ve always cringed at the phrase TDS, but I’m starting to see it in John Oliver. The man is obsessed about two things, Trump and black people.
I now want to buy a brick and have the inscription read "the country is open! Everyone is welcome!" In english and spanish
My hope in human intelligence is slowly rocketing down a rollercoaster while everybody cheers for you. They’ll never realize I’ll die before the ride is finished.
The ending of this episode really made me realize how exhausted John must be from doing the job of every major news network
It's one of the big reasons why we lost Jon Stewart from The Daily Show. You can only beat the drums and sound the alarms for so long. It wears you down over time, especially when it feels like it's all in vain. You can go back through Last Week Tonight's episode history and see some of these same issues John Oliver has been sounding the alarm on for years now. I don't know how much longer we'll have him now either, and that is quite depressing.
The job of news networks shouldn't be political propaganda.
@@MrCmon113 this isn't political propaganda. Last week tonight is well known to slash at both sides of the Isle when necessary
@@AlexVyncke No, he really isn't. I'm not saying political propaganda is bad. I'm saying comedy like this is an instance of it.
@@MrCmon113 Stating facts that you disagree with is "political propaganda"? Poor baby needs a safe space to cry.
I'm really surprised John didn't mention anything about sections of the wall being blown down in one of the more recent hurricanes
Wasn't a segment even sawn through? I think I remember something like that.
@@Pudeta I think it was Stephen Colbert. Could be wrong.
Napoleon Blownaparte Um, you do realize that emphasis on America's ethnic diversity has been one of the winning formulas of the Democratic Party ever since Lyndon B. Johnson (a Texas Democrat) signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, even as a lot of white supremacists (and Southern Democrats; Strom Thurmond, anyone?) defected en masse to the Republicans?
that's an even stupider attack against the wall wtf are you on about Is he now responsible for the weather? Big tall things dont resist hurricanes for long go figure.
Koala ...They’re saying that a wall which can’t even withstand a hurricane, something which isn’t uncommon in summer, is probably not a good wall.
I have to disagree about the "bricks last forever" part. I work in construction, and 50+ years and bricks start to crumble... and that's the ones on the INSIDE of a house. Imagine how eroded and defaced those bricks will be when exposed to weathering like rain, wind, etc.
“The biggest scholarship opportunity for camels” oooo nice callback lmao
The “super duper” wall sounds like an evil villain’s wall they built around their hideout in a stupid cartoon no one remembers.

It's disgusting. We still continue to fail the Native People after centuries. The lack of empathy is just so telling. And does it matter to anyone in power, no? But at this point if Trump did build a wall through Arlington Cemetery, I think his base would find a way to rationalize it.
If John ever has Adam Driver as a guest, it's going to be soooooo awkward.

Oh, and I'll be watching...
or Adam would play into it since he's also a comedian and it'd be soooooo gay.

@@lisahogholt9713 about 70% went into the wall. This is the normal ratio. This is another fake investigation.
Remember the Berlin wall that everyone was so excited about that it was broken down. That was a wall with lots of barbed wire, empty land before it and several watchtowers with snipers. Many refugees died but also many refugees made it to West Germany.

The grand finale of this evening's show!
Human trafficking has to stop. The southern border is where a lot cross with their victims. Trump made more human trafficking arrests in his first three years than any other president.
It means something to be an American citizen. The wall defines that.
As a Canadian I strongly believe we should also look into the concept of a southern border wall 😑
That was the single best sign off I’ve ever seen from John, and I’ve been binging this show quite a lot lately
"Expensive and Pointless" could be the slogan of the Trump presidency.
The whole Trump family.

Yes! That would be a great video.
I find it incredible that there was any consideration that it would keep people out when even the Berlin wall didn't prevent people from crossing.
If there HAS to be a silly wall, I don't mind the look of this one. At least the breeze and small animals can get through. My main issue is the disruption to animals migration paths.

That apparently wasn't the point of the fraud 😀

If those people had donated the money to the school instead of the wall, they would have done more good with their lives.
Course not. No profit in that. Why give the money that you wrongfully earned to people who need it when you can keep and and do whatever the hell you want with it? :/

John's thirst for Adam Driver is unquenchable.
Makes sense. They both look a bit like rodents.
@@MrCmon113 that's more of a compliment than an insult tbh judging from John's Nature
Taxtro I’m guessing you have no idea that Adam Driver fans are called rats bc of a line Adam says in a Law and Order episode 😂
@@karinarmbruster6738 Really? So John's jokes are a reference to that? 🤔
Taxtro I mean, anything is possible 😂
That closing statement was fierce!
The joke with Lindsey Graham and his tie killed me😂
I see and hear the frustration, exasperation, and desperation in John’s voice and expression at the end there, and I share it. Week after week this circus becomes more dystopian. I sense a lot of people completely losing faith in their fellow man and our nation. It angers and saddens me for our future.
Honestly, it’s just you and your camp who feel that way. The rest of us returned to our normal lives months ago.
Lol adrians got it...you want to stop this hate? I agree. Its horrible. Tell your dem. Leaders to stop pushing this racist idea that black ppl are all screwed in this country, rit large due to "systemic racism". Your angering black and white people, and honestly black people are getting the worst of it. Go figure. Were are we at, 30+ deaths in these protests turned riots? This is good for black people, well done people. Another quick way to put a damper on racism, stop saying it exists in places it does not exist.
SwampyMusic OP is probably European honestly. He probably doesn’t care about black people other than being able to use them to craft a negative narrative about America.
@mike brink That's great, John works to clean up bullshit.
It's hard not to feel that way. As an "essential" employee, I see members of the public not giving a shit about their fellow man on a daily basis.
14:38 That weird moment when you hear your name the way you tell others to pronounce it when it almost NEVER happens outside of IRL. O.o And in a John Oliver video of all things. XD
His closing statement is spot on and just amazing.
Wall being finished in secret by Biden.....waiting for your outrage
13:00 "Sexual harassment, Tax fraud, federal violations and child pornography is not a great list for a company vying to receive government funding" Sounds like just the company for someone: - with proof of sexual misconduct during their beauty pageants, - who refuses to release his tax files - with a history of over 3,500 lawsuits - who apparently really wants to date his daughter
@Dave Griffin But Obama admin was the most crooked admin according to trump. So how many crooks is associated with this admin, 300. And counting.... He needs to go.
As someone in the hometown of fisher industries the creepy shit goes way further and they are a match made in heaven
You beat me to it /D
Imagine if Dems went for the jugular on all these...
So right. Copy
Man John looks so genuinely angry about this and a can really feel him
@gr8 b8 m8 what
@gr8 b8 m8 wot?
John O does barely contained anger very well. But if someone can't get angry about this I wonder what happened to their moral compass.
You’d be angry to at the government destroying land that was important to your culture.
Isn’t it better and easier if they spend that money on cameras along the borders. It will help strengthen border security and avoid spending so much money on a physical wall that last one generation before needing to replace.
In Hawaii a pole is oiled to climb for a traditional festival competition. I won 5 times in a row, as a guy from Alaska. You can't build a wall that cannot be climbed, unless you are trying to stop armless people.
They sold bricks to be used in a wall that is made of metal and includes no bricks??
I'm guessing they're for foundation to level the ground.
@@vengefulspirit99 ...so bricks that no one will be able to see unless they lay on the ground, wipe off dirt, and squint.
@@BattyButtercup Details, schmetails! 😛😝
And trimptards bought hundreds of thousands of them!
The bricks were for the formwork, you cant just have a wall free stand on sand so they had to add either wet cement or large cinderblocks to create a hardened solid foundation to attach piles into
Honestly, I have a hard time sympathizing with people who's money got stolen because they donated to build the wall.
What's that saying about a fool and his money? XD
I bet a majority of the people that donated towards that stupid wall are also the ones protesting face masks😂... I say let Natural selection do its work
@@kennedykariuki6352 The problem with that is the anti-maskers can infect anyone they come in contact with. The masks are to stop the spread from the wearer, not protect the wearer from others. If an anti-masker coughs on someone wearing a mask, it can infect them. If someone wearing a mask coughs, the mask catches most of their cough.
my first thought was honestly “great idea! i should get in on it. i wanna scam racists out of their money”
What about the tax payers that, through Trumps executive order, gave these conmen 2 billion dollars? Technically, if you're from the USA, you also got you money stolen.
Your conclusion is wonderful!
Love from India to John Oliver 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
You could tell John was genuinely mad and disgusted towards the last minute of this show.
Poor John trying to save America from clown with mummified foreskin.
I love the British. I wish to God I could be so composed, and not angry, screaming and flailing.
"This is his monumnet. And there's, perhaps, nothing more emblematic of his presidency than this wall: it's destructive, pointless, ineffective, racist, weak, and something the damages of which we're gonna have to be dealing with for a very long time." - John Oliver, the Man
I've been hearing pot shots at Trump for 4 years. As much as I hate the guy, I've kind of become numb to them. You can only hear that Trump has small hands and weird hair so many times. This one really put into perspective what an absurd and despicable person Trump really is. He gets mocked so much that you end up forgetting how malevolent he actually is, and I have to commend John Oliver for putting this into perspective, instead of getting a cheap laugh.
Well put and very poetic a that !
@Professor C Did you see the film of the man climbing over the wall?
@Professor C "Stupid people have no idea how stupid they are." - John Cleese. "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than it does knowledge..." -Charles Darwin. You sir, are a very fine example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. You are so far off in your own world that the only people that don't laugh at your nonsense are the people also off in that twisted ignorant world.
@Professor C Lets start with the problem. And how non existent it is. In the US there are 12 million people that have arrived here illegally. Of that 12 million 80% of which have been here for over 10 years. The number of illegal people in the US has been on the decline since 2007 as these people are either found or more commonly become legal citizens. Then lets' talk about how these people are getting in, the border control. Nearly all of the people that come illegally arrive legally with a visa and just never go back. Which a wall does nothing for. Not even to mention that there are videos of people scaling the wall quite easily with neither much skill, time or effort. If someone was determined enough to leave their country a little fence that falls over if you push too hard on is not going to stop them. Which by the way some parts of the wall have fallen over.
Chad Wolf was certainly qualified to be the chief of Homeland Security. He holds a degree in art history and was a lobbyist for a firm that specialized in procuring TSA contracts for their clients.
Conclusion gave me goosebumps...
You can tell that he is just absolutely exhausted and done with Trump, and honestly I am too.
@@jaguarkaboom8967 wow many words to say not a thing.
@@ALT3PFL3G3R you must never have learned to read.
@@jaguarkaboom8967 Most illegals are expired visas not wall crossers. Facts don't care about your feelings.
@@jaguarkaboom8967 Yes, illegal immigrants from Mexico... And what about illegal immigrants from all of Europe? People from England/Scotland that already speak English that come overseas and stay without anyone knowing... You can bet not every one of them has U.S. citizenship. You do know it can take a long time for any Mexican to apply and get U.S. citizenship, and if they're living a life of hardships, when push comes to shove... and they have families that need providing... they'll risk it all coming over the border for the slimmest chance at a better life. And you would do the exact same thing. Some of these people can't afford to wait months or years to finally be legally accepted.
I'm exhausted of the media attacking Trump and people like you falling for it.
