I don't know why everybody is still arguing, we have our candidate: Joe Exotic 2016
TRUTH
naturesDIP and he likes guns!
Lauritz Wiesinger Jill stein for president 2016👍💚
he injured himself trying to have sex with a tiger while high on meth. there ain't nothing more American than that. #Xotic2016
fuck off, vermin supreme 4 president!
Mindboggling that Joe Exotic is the only one of the 2016 candidates in prison
Ahaha I know right
Lock her up! Huh, she did nothing illegal? Impeach and lock him up! Huh, the senate are a bunch of spineless hypocrites? Oh, ok.
@@awrebyawe Both Trump and Clinton broke laws and should be in prison.
@@comradesky5931 yeah except Clinton has been investigated, multiple times, by republicans, democrats, and independent organisations, yet no wrongdoing has been filed. Trump has blocked every investigation into his organisation since taking office, he did not even testify in his own impeachment hearing, whether you believe it's a witch hunt or not. As president, he should have testified. He obstructed Mueller's investigation and Barr tied Mueller's hands by saying no sitting president could be charged of a crime. Big difference when one cooperated with investigations and was cleared, whilst the other obstructs investigations, intimidates witnesses, cries on social media how unfair everybody is to him, then clears himself again via social media.
@@comradesky5931 you are shifting the goalposts. Yes, the US government in general has committed all sorts of atrocities around the globe for decades, however, we are not talking about Obama, nor anyone else but Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Hillary has faced multiple investigations and complied with them, from people all over the political spectrum, including her own party. Trump has been protected by his party and obstructed all other investigations. That's the point here, don't distract by bringing up irrelevant things, no matter how much I agree with you on war crimes.
Me watching this in 2016: The world is going to heck!!! And who the hell is that tiger dude??? What is wrong with the world? Why is this happening???? Me watching this in 2020: Ah the simpler times
I miss Obama
And Joe Exotic is now more famous than before
I miss the good old days
Watching this only 6 months later.... the times are even more complicated
@@nerd2219 And now Biden has won
John, can you make a part 2 of this... 7 years later??
Who would have thought Joe Exotic would have been the biggest thing in America right now.
if i was voting age back then i would have voted for him lol
Somehow only the _second-least_ qualified person to run for President. Sure, he’s hot-headed and gun-toting, but also very honest and upfront.
Juan Garza other than corona virus memes.
Probably Joe himself
jamie greenberg I would vote vermin supreme
John was on the Joe Exotic train before it was cool.
Brandon Hibbert true
I was about to leave a very similar comment lol
@putsome basilonit kzhead.info/sun/jZGxeZVrb2aIrGw/bejne.html
josh shelton a
Yep
7:20 Is no one gonna mention how Canada seems to have invaded Alaska in this drawing?
They were no match for our weaponized Beavers and Moose
Galactic Gaming fear the moose
Pyromanic8 that was the first thing i noticed. The weirdest thing is that it has the border line still.
We'll just send our geese to reclaim the state. They feed on souls using the teeth that grow out of their tongues!
Well in the Kaiserriech alternate timeline (a Hearts of Iron IV mod) where Germany wins WW1 and a Communist Revolution in Britain led to the British Royal Family and Nobility to flee to Canada to plan the homecoming liberation of Britain, America falls to Civil War and Canada invades Alaska and sets up a allied nation in New England and upstate New York.
..And I still hope Bernie somehow saves us
Ya, i can use that extra welfare
Nah, Joe Exotic is our one true savior.
He'll keep pushing his policies, free from having to deal with the presidency. And NOW he has name recognition.
LegendaryKing Nope, you idiots already fucked that up. Boohoo, no one feels sorry for you now.
Sir Clasher Hahaha stay with grandpa Bernie 😂😂😂
Stop focusing so much on the presidential shit show and get yourself ready to vote in the other races taking place in your area. Vote for congress, vote for senate, vote for your state rep, your attorney general, your local sheriff, and all the other offices up for election this year. Whatever you do, don't say "I'm not voting because I hate both candidates." Don't be stupid. Staying home on Election Day because you don't like the presidential nominees is like not buying your dream home because you don't like the drapes.

But when you cannot truly decide which of the candidates you dislike the least, where the hell to you go making a vote? Do you just fucking pick at random? What the fuck do we do here?
That Joe Exotic cameo was completely blindsiding and I loved every second
What do you mean by cameo? He's the main part.
"Or they would vote for the ghost of MLK, assuming he only said the 3 quotes that white people like." MLK was so great but many people ignore a huge part of his greatness.
I'd rather vote someone who has the wrong implementation of the right idea than the right implementation of the wrong idea.
FSSZilla well said, you may have cemented my choice of whom to vote for...
Ari Vishnu but that statement doesn't even have a reason behind it. It's just a collection of words that sound full of conviction and elegant. It appeals to your emotions, sure, political ideas need to be on facts, not feelings. Saying you'd rather want a malimformed, useless, and irresponsible President than a corrupt one is all fine and dandy until it actually happens.
Stein Baracka 2016!
Evan McMullin or Darrel Castle ?
yt
John Oliver was so spot on with the meth comment...it’s like he knew.
Gallagher girl they do research all of this very well!
As a fellow Oklahoman it is not unfair for someone to assume someone from Oklahoma is doing meth, we all fuckin Walter White in this bitch
Yeah... It's almost as if he'd had a beer with him.. then another one... then a third, fourth, etcetera, and then he tried meth for the first time.
Maybe he was Joes 6th husband at some point.
John Oliver’s videos have a tendency to age like fine wine.
"The Federal Reserve does not take marching orders from the White House." 2020: "Hold my beer"
Yeah, but to be honest, 2020 took one look at the contemporary rule book, laughed at it and then ripped it to shreds.
"You can't just fan the flames of a conspiracy theory and just walk away" That aged well.
there was a perfect candidate...and we failed him
killblade6 Ron Paul didn't run this year.
NO! Just no.
We didn't fail him The established political arm failed us.
Wayne F. Watley, Jr. He was getting too old and probably wanted to "hand the torch" to his son Rand Paul
i know... they shot him.. RIP Harambe.
This is wild after listening to the Joe Exotic true crime documentary. Especially with him talking about “that bitch down in Florida.”
Even wilder after watching Tiger King
@@tonightsbiggestloser4163 what do you think they were referring to?
@@michaelabbott5999 A true crime documentary from over 2 months ago. AKA. Not Tiger King.
I hate that bitch in Florida, free Joe he is great and that bitch is obsessive moronic cat-opsesed idiot.
@@nerminsnowhuseinbasic9340 Joe Exotic murders and abuses tigers, and literally tried to murder people for calling him out. He also pushed a young dude to suicide
I don't watch this show to be comfortable but you crossed a line by making me listen to Jill Stein singing
It’s SO BAD
TWICE.
I'd love for him to do another segment on third parties, this time talking about the need for a multi-party system and how our electoral system makes it virtually impossible.
A democratic socialist party would be a great option
@@will823 it would split the vote, but sure.
a popular vote wouldn't have made it any better I'm afraid
The stupid Freedom Caucus is proving that a third party that actually has party is absolutely problematic with the current system. They managed to make the party that in theory has a majority in the house unable to seat their choice for speaker until after 15 rounds of voting over 4 days and with major sacrifices being made in order to give him their vote, some incredibly dangerous. Speaker McCarthy is the weakest speaker ever in terms of control of his party and its because of this fringe party. Obviously not every third party would do this, but this example shows how problematic it can be with the current structure.
@@iamoctonate This was inevitable. In almost every other "democratic country" these people would never be in the same party but they are because there are only two parties you can join if you want to be elected. There will always be divisive extremists no matter how many parties you have but if the so-called Freedom Caucus was a separate party, a more moderate Republican Party could emerge and they maybe could've reached out to the Democrats instead, leaving the crazies isolated. Plus, a more radical left-wing party could also emerge and then I could vote without holding my nose.
What the fuck is this cherry picked bullshit? I have to address the whole "She doesn't have the power to do that, only the Federal Reserve does." She has acknowledged this. John do you know who appoints the head of the Federal Reserve? I'll give you 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count. And his argument boils down to, Jill Stein is bad because: "She's the only one who has the right ideas, but she hasn't figured out how to implement them yet" "She gave a vague answer to a conspiracy theorist" "She used to be a musician" But oh of course we aren't going to make a video about Hillary...
Except he has done many videos on both Hillary and Trump..
Well I think the music was more for comedic effect. Throw a few legit punches then bring up frivolous non issues. Same with Gary and the Mountain. It's a 20 minute video I think he did his best.
It's also comedy too. People seem to forget that this show is supposed to be funny while at the same time informative.
I think he makes videos about all candidates by now. Hillary's scandals were widely covered in an earlier episode, and seeing that the only bad thing he can find about Jill is that her implementation of the idea isn't good yet, I think Jill came out as the most reasonable candidate.
Bas Dado But he said something bad them! That must mean he supports Hillary! he talked about how they lack serious policy proposals, so he is mean and doesn't believe in third parties. Also, did I mention that he must obviously be a Kitlery supporter? /Sarcasm
There was a perfect candidate, and we let him down. His name is Bernie Sanders.
if he was the perfect candidate he would not sold out his beliefs and those he inspired to fall in line behind Clinton. Sanders ended up just being another fraud, like many others before him. not going to lie though he had me fooled.
he supported Clinton compared to Trump....i would fuck Clinton to stop Trump becomming president.....and i dont mean hillary clinton...;3 Hes not a fraud, you are supose to vote for him in the next vote to make up your mistake to vote for the wrong democrat.
ApolloMars1617 - no that is exactly what it makes him. when he preaches changing the rigged system then cozies up to it. he is a total sellout.
David R LOL he dont preaches. hes a mob controller, using hate and mob-culture to create support by people, who WANT TO BELIVE, that Trump would support his agenda, but in reallity TRUMP DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR ARGUMENTS or all american state members. You dont even know his real agenda.
ApolloMars1617 - can't argue with that
Funny how many people did not understood what he meant when saying things like "two boyfriends most of my life" and "bitch down in florida", when now people who didn't even watch the doc knows what he's talking about
You mean the two boyfriends that joe attracted and kept woth meth and the "bitch down in florida" that most likely killed her husband and fed his corpse to a tiger?
not knowing what he's talking about is part of the fun though
What he mean?
@@unknownname1941 Joe Exotic was "married" to two guys at the same time, one died, and the other one broke up with him, and by "some bitch in Florida" he means Carole Baskin, owner of Big Cat Rescue sanctuary in Florida, who Joe had some serious beef with, and at one point tried to get her killed.
John Oliver warned us about joe exotic. I can’t believe I laughed this off before ... ya know
I don't get the outrage. He rips on Hillary all the fucking time. I honestly don't get it. He's said that she sucks. Some of you guys are just so damn emotionally attached to your horrible candidates. Good grief
Eamenic1 but he never has made a serouis video exposing her
And in which episodes are these "rips"?
One of these rips was in the end of this very episode. Would you like me to quote it?
Justin Purdy Ha, I knew someone would bring up the one in this episode. The one in this episode is obviously implied. OPs quote was: "He rips on Hillary all the fucking time." That implies more than one rip. This episode makes one. There must be other episodes that have rips. So what are these episodes? I know you're gonna try and say the scandals piece. The scandals piece was utterly defensive and apologetic. Unless you can quote a good rip from that segment. So are there any other episodes?
Eamenic1 Preach it.
My favorite part after watching part of the documentary is how in the clip he says, "I have a judgement against me by some bitch in Florida"
I love it when he almost proudly announces, "I am broke as shit...."
My second favorite part is Jill Stein’s song. I had no idea.....
While Gary Johnson may not have been ready for prime time, the best reason I could think of to vote for a 3rd party was that if they break 5% of the vote, they are entitled to federal campaign money the next election cycle. Even an ill-suited candidate would shake things up by simply getting to share the stage.
You can't think of anyone else?
Honestly, we should also fix the Presidential debates, too, cus rn it is just two people talking over each other. Otherwise, it's going to be three people talking over each other.
Hope Dr Cornell West hits it this go around
John Oliver was where I first heard of Joe Exotic. I thought the Netflix series would be a brief look at his life since then. Oh boy, we got a whole lot more. 😂😂😭😭
John: *Does a piece on the biggest scandals facing HRC and Drumpf, being particularly thorough with Hillary's* Third Party People: "There's more than two choices! DON'T BE SO BIASED!" John: *Does a piece about the two most prominent third party candidates, pointing out their flaws* Third Party People: "OMG why aren't you doing a piece on Hillary? Corrupt! DON'T BE SO BIASED!" I'm not following your logic, here.
"being particularly thorough with Hillary's" is a matter of your own opinion.
He has done Hillary. Search John Oliver 'Scandals'
They're still butthurt about Bernie losing.
I know he's addressed what he would consider scandals. I watch like every episode. I like John Oliver. But I would disagree if I were to say he were thorough.
aaronlwu257 Oh you mean he addressed the fact that all the Hillary scandals do is look shady and that made you sad? He didn't condemn your least favorite candidate but looked at the objective facts and came up with the fact that everything wasn't as bad as it looked and you are upset?
And now a word from our sponsor: Time Warner.
Ah, sorry: AT&T !
John Oliver is a nobody. Just a corporate comedian shill for Hillary Clinton. He's not even American.
but he said bad things about clinton before. why would he do that when she bought him?
Oh grow up. "Not even American?" Get off your elitist high horse. That doesn't mean anything. He lives here. He's an American. Deal with it.
not even american just like you are mostly too... and the "Scottish German" Trump for that case. just mixture of imports from somewhere else. lets find a descendant of Sioux Chief Standing Bear and get him to be USA's president... then finally USA gets it first _American_ president...
Dudeeee... Stimulus checks, tiger king, and conspiracies? This just sounds like 2020 with extra steps
Never thought Kanye West would be a third party
You should've bc I'm pretty sure he mentioned it in 2016 at least
Hes independant
I almost threw up when a coworker said he would vote for Kanye
The first 3 minutes have a whole new meaning now after Tiger King lol
so true 😀
The meaning is ~animal abuse~
Shoutout to the folks here who knew about Joe Exotic before Tiger King
The title should be "bashing third parties and why you should vote for Clinton" Pls become less biased
He does political satire, it's not supposed to be unbiased
But it's true! I'm not happy about it, but Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to be President. Even Libertarian Vice Presidential candidate Weld admitted it.
Gary Johnson is a pretty right-wing candidate though, and he's much higher in the polls than Stein. If everyone only voted for one of the 2 main candidates, that would be better off for Trump.
Cream Soda did you even watch the video he even attacked her
It wasn't a real attack against Hillary. Just enough to appear unbiased to the casual observer. For example he said she represents everything about what "some people" hate about politics. A nice little caveat he did not extend to anyone else.
Jill: "Quantitative Easing is a magic trick" John: "No it isn't though, it's a complicated economic policy" Me: "... She called it a Magic Trick because it amounts to economic sleight of hand. It's not really all that complicated as much as it is an exploit of the economic system."
Is there anything that isnt an exploit of the economic system?
Okay, but many magic tricks are complicated when you actually explain how to do them and most people don’t understand how to do them, so in a sense he was still right.
It should be good to note that this isn't an argument against 3rd parties institutionally. In the UK, we have really good 3rd parties that often help raise specific ideologies such as green, SNP or DUP and other countries like Germany even have functional coalition governments. It can work and no one can figure out why the US can't have more than specifically 2 parties.
There's a few reasons for this -- though it's a good question. The biggest reason is the relative strength of party infrastructure; parties in the US are (compared with British ones) institutionally very weak. It's best to think of American political parties less like the parties you're used to, and more like alliances between various interest groups that can change. American party whips can count votes but don't have the same mechanisms to enforce party discipline, and there's no party vetting process to get a candidate onto the list for a constituency like there is in the UK. If you want to run as a Democrat in an American district, you can run as a Democrat, and vice versa. You won't _win_ if you're too alien to what most party voters want (and by the way, you don't join the two major American parties in the same way you do in the UK -- instead you register, which often determines which ballot you get), but there's nothing anyone can do about your choosing the party ballot line. Generally, when a movement wants to generate some sort of effective change in the UK, it has to form a group from the outside and make deals and fights with the other parties until it forces its way into Parliament and either grows (e.g. Labour, now a government-in-waiting), formally merges into a larger party (e.g. the Social Democrats, now part of the LibDems), or disappears (e.g. the Irish Parliamentary Party, which once held the balance of power in Parliament and then collapsed after Ireland won independence). In the US, though, groups can operate within parties to affect change internally and there's not much the party higher-ups can do about it, so this leads to it being generally easier to work within parties than outside them. The Civil Rights movement did this with the Democrats, resulting in the white-supremacist "Dixiecrat" faction leaving the party entirely and mostly defecting to the Republicans by the 1990s. So did the Bernie people, and although you couldn't call the Democrats a socialist party, you can definitely say that Bernie's movement left a lasting imprint on party policies and energized millions of people. By the same token, the Tea Party did this with the Republicans, as did the MAGAheads -- both of those groups spurred a realignment within the GOP that would be all-but-impossible -- or at least very very very slow -- within a British political party. Corbyn tried -- love him or hate him, he tried -- and it wrecked him. Most German and other European parties operate differently, partly because they're responding to different types of concerns (no single-member districts, more proportionality ...). They're more stable, but also more liable to real coalitions, which have their own host of benefits and problems.
Is it me or does Joe Exotic gesture towards the lion when mentioning his boyfriends?
rofl xD
Richard Emms yep lol
not just you
I was nervous that he was brag about fucking the lion
@@WolfRider2002 Either that or castrated.
Who is here after the Netflix Doc!
I had to come check it out after watching!
Now that video has such a sinister and hilarious context
Watching it I got a sudden feeling of "I'm pretty sure I've seen that guy's presidential election campaign video on LWT" and then I couldn't let it go until I'd checked! 😂 🐯 John Oliver as usual did not disappoint! ❤
Other way round 🤣
What’s the doc called
John is a fucking psychic for somehow including Joe Exotic in this
Not me watching this in 2023 and hearing the name Joe Exotic 😭
To be fair, the perfect canidate probably wouldn't willingly run for president.
True. The closest thing to a perfect candidate is probably some half lawyer, half accountant who plays chess and Civ 6 in his spare time, and wouldn't run for political office under any circumstances. But I'd settle for Trey Gowdy.
nekomarulupin To summarize: people are a problem.
Alex Kim Exactly! Which is why we should elect Cthulhu in 2020. Enslavement is better than these guys. ;)
Cthulhu for President 2020! (Insert shitty Cthulhu meme here)
fitofmadrage hell no
I'm sure Time Warner is VERY proud of you John.
Johnny is a good boy for Time Warner.
Didn't take too long to figure out why you were upset with this video.
Angel Flores Didn't take long to figure out the two party shill
So you're just not going to debate any of the content in the video and instead just call names. Got it. Typical
Is that how being a Steinie works? Anything that disagrees with you is part of a vast global conspiracy? Your beliefs are unfalsifiable?
My life back in 2016 in somewhere non-america: Mom: hillary is so great, she's the best representative for women. Dad: donald trump is rich and honest. Me: i wish for more weed, that weed dude looks cool.
18:04 It took me 5 years to figure it out. And I’m 80% sure she says “On a roll, so far to go…”
Why can't I just vote for Bernie?
Because he's not running for president
He is a write in option, so even though he isn't running anymore you can vote for him.
Well technically you can if your state allows write-in voting. Just check mark the 'Others' box and put Bernard Sanders.
Like a scumbag..? No. He lost the primaries, so he endorsed Hillary Clinton. It's not hard to comprehend.
If you live in a state with write-ins, you technically can. It's just really kind of a wasted vote since it is virtually impossible for him to win at this point.
Watching from canada this debate is like seeing your Neighbors house burn down and the fire department is all on strike. i feel bad for all the americans out there stuck with these horrible choices.
Thank you for your sentiments. _Maybe, "condolences," is a better word to use._
Thanks. Also sorry about the army of postmen that might be coming your way soon.
Todd Zimmerman Help us
Todd Zimmerman HELP US PLEASE.
Jill is a pretty sweet choice though.
I've watched every video since Covid, so it's nice to come back and hear audience reactions again.
2024 was like...hold my beer
jeez, hillary is ACTUALLY the best choice. can't believe i'm saying that
no she is still probably the worse, you should do more research than watching a fifteen minute comedy to decide that.
that's your opinion, but against 3 people who really don't know how to government, I dunno. still would prefer none of these people though
David R Yes, and research will still show that she is the better choice.
I think "best" is the wrong word here. More like: "Least awful depending on your personal views."
No candidate is anywhere near good. Stein is too passive, Trump is too aggressive, Hillary is corrupt, and Johnson is not patient. Although their weaknesses tend to be their strengths is some cases. Stien being charismatic and loving, Trump appearing honest and genuine, Hillary with the skills of leadership, and Johnson with the ability to adapt to the situation.
So disappointing John didn't touch the part where Jill Stein plans to cut US military budget in half. Wonder why... Oh, right, because that eliminates is entire point about "how is she going to pay for eliminating student debt?!" And what the fuck does her music have to do with anything?!
I'm all for radical reductions in our military spending, but half in four or even eight years would be terrible policy. It's like slamming your breaks on the freeway when you are going 90mph. Sure, that's too fast, but slamming the breaks causes other problems.
Jussi Eerio he brought up her music because he's a comedian first and just reports the news while he does it. why does it matter if he brought up her shitty music? it was funny and awful and made me laugh, which was the point
I thought her music was far more interesting than the Taylor Swifts and Dr Dre's out there.
Lee Duon well we will need to Brake because there is traffic in front of us
Jussi Eerio You aware he didn't mention it because a president can't do that
Lmaoo the entire time I was watching Tiger King, I was so confused as to why Joe Exotic looked so familiar to me... Low an behold they show this clip in the show 😂😂
Who’s watching this after Trump created then lost over a trillions dollars in an hour by trying to save the stock market instead of giving the American people a reoccurring stimulus checks?
Ayyy, it is Corona Time
Wait, really? That's kinda hilarious for Trump, but disturbing to think about with the stimulus checks.
which time?
*recurring
Even George Washington was in support of no main parties, he thought the idea of parties at all was a dumb idea as it would stick America into a never ending cycle of never changingness.
Wait a minute...
Make congress elected via proportional representation/MMP and let Congress decide who the president is. Parliamentary system > Presidential system.
Can't have a functional democracy in a country as big as the US without political parties tho
lo and behold he was spot on
he also said to not get involve in Europe conflicts and do not go to war against each other. Washington stated these as things that we should never do. Thats why we took forever to get involve in WWI and WWII
The only reason the two major parties sound any better is because of the way the media justifies them if Jill was the democratic nominee and Hillary was third party imagine what they would say about Hillary
Antman4656 you don't have to imagine. They already said it when she ran against Obama
***** ay, the north remembers
For all her flaws, the one thing you cant say about Hillary is that she doesnt understand how politics work. Jill Stein is much more likable than hillary, but shes just not a good politician, her policies are completely clueless and that has nothing to do with her being a third party candidate. By the way, Trump definetely doesnt sound better then Jill or Gary if you ask me.
They would tear into Jill Stein for being unqualified and notice that the third party candidate was a US Senator, Secretary of State, and First Lady, whether you like or agree with Hillary or not.
Yes. As if the majors always have it all worked out. And why is *_money_** always the only priority in the world anyway?*
Watching this five years down the line make's it even funnier/depressing.
When Tiger King first came out I said that was the guy from John Oliver and my friend didnt believe me! Back here now with proof!! Haha 😂
Let's see John has taken the time to critique all the candidates in depth. Trump, Johnson, and Stein. There's only one he hasn't done yet gosh I can't remember her name!
He did. He did a video on the email scandal and the controversy surrounding the Clinton Foundation.
He ended up talking more about trump than Hillary in that "anti-clinton" video anyway. I'm not American so obviously I'm not voting or supporting either candidate but I think its real obvious that Oliver wants Clinton to win.
Eather way it semes those motherfucker are gonna cause some war.take provisions cause things are gonna get rough
Whenever Trump supporters hear the opposition criticize Hillary, they go deaf, because it doesn't fit their narrative that only paid shills are voting for her.
Khorney. Yeah he hasn't exactly tried to hide that. Why is it a problem for him to have an opinion?
So because jill stein made a song she's evil, because gary johnson has a bad tax plan he's evil? Compared to a liar murderer, and a racist come on john oliver lets get real here.
The Rookie Bad tax plan. That's actually a pretty big deal. you and a lot of other people seem to think that the only thing that qualifies a candidate for office is being honest and trustworthy. Newsflash; they have to have coherent/realistic policy and a good grasp on the issues as well.
it doesn't matter that they're better than clinton and trump if they have no idea how to run the country ( i don't think trump does either)
They are horribly unprepared for the task is the point. The so-called "liar murderer" has at least legit applicable policies in mind, and can actually make points while talking, as opposed to Johnson or Stein.
I think you missed the point. He is saying that their views aren't going to work and will destroy our economy. Stein with eliminating student debt and Johnson with removing income and corporate tax, and making a super high sales tax on everything. Hillary and Donald are also terrible presidents, but at least their parties won't destroy our economy in the first year
The Rookie trump hardly a racist.
Watching this in 2020 makes the Joe Exotic portion even funnier than anyone could have imagined in 2016.
Bill Weld looks so tired of everything
I'm broke as shit and won't wear a suit either. I know who I'm voting for.
2016 is the year to be exotic!
Speaking of Joe Exotic, I've actually been to his zoo and was there the day he broke his leg, necessitating the brace you see here. Just before his tiger wrangling show he handed out condoms (with his picture on the wrapper) to all the males in audience. He made a speech predicting that his death would be from a tiger attack, then started his show. In the cage with two tigers, they were getting increasing frisky playing with one another and one snuck behind Joe hitting his leg at just the angle to break it. He collapsed in pain. I wondered "how is this guy not on TV??"
well he definetly sounds like the best choice, I wish I was being sarcastic
make America exotic again!
Hi
I can relate to Joe Exotic. He is, like me, “broke as SHIT.”
Sprite Cranberry are you also a murdering psychopath? Because Joe is going to die in prison
Yeah Joe was arrested for a murder for hire plot. The fact that he did NOT use a lion to commit that murder is ironically the most surprising thing about that situation... Say no to meth
billytimmy 2009 lmao 😂
Dana lions would of definitely been the way to go
@GidorahX very
2020 here. Any Third Party candidate might have been a better president. Edit: I am about 80% sure about Gary Johnson
Remember when we didn’t know who the hell Joe Exotic was? I miss 2016.
I know y’all here for Joe and it’s at 1:40
Chan Thea 6:18 Joe Exotic’s first act after becoming president
Thank you. Not all heroes wear capes it seems.
thanks for you service
Thanks
The world thanks u
In the very next sentence, that was edited out, she describes the very small tax on Wall St she would put in place to cancel the debt. Very deceptive editing here.
Also, it is disingenuous to say that is "central to her campaign"
What is this 'very small tax', I can't find it described on her campaign page.
OppressiveStraightWhiteMaleChristian I may be mistaken, but I think it's the Robin Hood Tax. I have read about it and can't find a thing wrong with the Robin Hood tax, but I am not an economist, so if somebody knows what's wrong with it, I'd really like to know.
+Shelly Dwyer-Murphy You can't just introduce a Law to pay off student debt.Quantative easing involves the buying and selling of government bonds by private corporations.Since the government bonds are drawn on a blank check,currency is created.However,the government still has to pay for the instrest for the bonds.So,the student debt has actually INCREASED in the form of public debt.A "very-small tax" would still probably not cover all of it,also,if it does cover the debt,the wealthy could just stash their cash overseas.Tax avoidance is legal in the US,tax evasion is not.
So it weren't just the Johnson fragments that were deceptively edited? Could have guessed...
Ohhh, this brings me back.
We all know who's to blame. Carol Fuckin' Baskin!!!!! 😂😂😂
Let me remind everyone that a lot of us thought that Bernie should have won. If that is the case, he is now voting for Hilary. Maybe we should, as Bernie supporters, follow his lead.
Only if you believe that people voted Bernie because of a cult of personality and won't disagree with him on anything. I believe Bernie supporters are more principled by that and can make their own decisions, and may come to a different conclusion even with taking into account that Bernie is voting Hillary.
Yeah no... People didn't support Bernie because he was some charismatic super star. We supported him due to the policies he espoused. And telling people to vote for someone just because one other person is doing so is a bad idea.
Fact Ninja Bernie himself said follow your heart not me if I support Hillary
Sander & Clinton told us to "vote your conscience." #JillStein2016
Fact Ninja write him in please
You had a better option and you let him go. Just sayin'...
Flavio Fernandes speak the dam truth.
Flavio Fernandes he wasn't let go - he was CHEATED by HILLARY CLINTON.
It's what the DNC wanted. Corrupt committee. It's all in the emails. Write-in Bernie.
you damn commie SJW's get back on tumblr you no nothing about politics Bernie took his shekels and bought a nice mansion and fooled all of you lol
Don't write in. It won't count but in a couple smaller states. Believe me, I want Bernie back. I wish he would've FDR'd the election. We could, and still can, pull enough numbers together to get him elected. He just has to want it.
Gary Johnson literally seems like a character from a sitcom about the government
I like how he said "make soap taste as good as it smells" without even touching on "making soap not kill you if you eat it."
His smears against Stein were very weak.
how? lol she doesn't choose sides just to pander to voters. that's exactly what you don't want in a strong leader and that's the type of political attitude people dislike in Clinton. even on issues like "9/11 was an inside job"
belowroller having incoherent and impractical policies that suggest you have no idea what youre talking about seems like pretty strong criticism QE wasnt a bailout. The actual bailout was a loan that was paid back. Students already get loans, they just dont want the responsibility for paying them back.
I agree.
cough building 7 coughcough
But, that biking song. Jesus.
As a Canadian I feel safe, is this normal?
Charlie Ki I pray that we are
Charlie Ki no you should be terrified
you guys have justin trudeau, youre just fine
Charlie Ki ditto!
Yup
2:03 That is just too good now that we have context
Omg!! 😂 😂 😂 John Oliver was preparing us for Joe Exotic and "some bitch down there in Florida" well before the release of Tiger King.
“Silent thunder is nothing; you’re describing silence” - I laughed soooo hard at that
I love how he just says "I'm broke as shit"
He didn't lie.
He never financially recovered
@@oliverluke2363 damn you got the whole squad laughing
5:30 that didn't age well... we literally just bailed out big businesses during the pandemic the same exact way (printing money)
Proof John Oliver is a nitwit who's as dumb as he is ugly... and I'm still amazed they allow him to even glimpse at a camera without it wanting to gouge its lens out.
Johnny Oliver, always ahead of the game.
Imagine he did a bit on Hillary equally critical...
Tarorc79 he did a scandals video.
yep, but equal critisism ? No.
KEK, his scandal video was nothing but Hillary apologetics.
Wait until the next two weeks. I believe he is going to do a full segment on Podesta. I could be wrong, but I think he is based on the full HBO video.
Tarorc79 Hillary hasn't admitted to sexual assault
We see who is paying your dues, John.
No, it's the GREATER of two evils. Fuck you Jon Oliver you spineless baglicker.
J&N WILD xD believe what you want doesn't change what he said. you got third party choices, but both of them are jokes
J&N WILD Are you silly? Hes had like 8 segments on trump obviously hes going to stay internally consistent
Mark Jenkins He was going to bat for bernie before Hil got the nomination. people have weird ways of justifying what they do. see casey neistat
J&N WILD we need to cancel student debt and make healthcare and college free. we need to destroy Israel we need to restructure debt dismantle the military and global fascist empire the US built since ww2 take down the 0.001% super rich and crony capitalists reduce taxes and regulation
Dude I straight up just remembered him from Last Week Tonight 4 episodes into Tiger King. As soon as he said he was running for president I thought “FUCK!”
I've started a third party and it's tough. You get people who like multiple things you do but can't agree with the other side so they fight
The saddest part of this is that both Jill and Gary are still reasonable candidates.
GARY JOHNSON?
YES, GARY JOHNSON!
what about Darrel Castle or Evan McMullin
Yeah, no they're not, they're bad jokes.
Hahahahahahahahahaha. ::takes breath:: hahahahahahaha. That's cute.
So John based Jill Stein's proposal of cancelling Student debt by one video of her explaining it. Not looking at the more detailed version on her website?
He is bought.. #Thirdparty
I think this is more about the fact that she obviously has not really any idea what she's talking about when she's confronted with her own positions. "Look at my website" is always a lame excuse because it is somewhat unlikely that she has actually written everything on her website herself. That might've been someone else who actually knows more about than she does.
Ryoichi94 That is very much likely yes. But that is shared by many politicians, the foreign policy of the US for example is often dictated by the advisors of the president and not the POTUS themselves.
TheAnimaAnimal I think that's understandable though. A president or possible president should definitely know a lot about what he/she wants to do and all that stuff. However, the job includes so many issues that it's quite impossible to know everything about all the issues.
Ryoichi94 Exactly. So comparing Jill Stein's proposal to Trump’s wall without giving as much described attention I think is misleading. Also a website isn't that lame of an excuse. Even Bernie Sanders referred to his during his campaign. A website can not only make a more detailed and accurate policy description but also be used as a tool to hold politicians accountable to their promises.
My god, I watched this video when it came out and remember laughing my ass off when the Joe Exotic clip popped up. I never really thought about Joe, until Tiger King came out and....just wow. It's very interesting to say the least and I got very happy when they showed a clip of Last Week Tonight on Tiger King. It felt like "Omg I was there!!! I was there when this happened!"
Thanks for the tip for "Somebody's Sister"s "Dirty Little Secrets " 🌹❤️🌹 Love it!
People. If you think John is so biased, then why are you even here?!
cus they love to complain
John calls out other people when they say something stupid or dishonest. Why shouldn't we call out John when he does the same?
Because they want their voice heard.
Trolling is humanity's nature when incognito.
Have nothing good to do in their lives.
He never criticizes Clinton and when he does it changes to trump
light yagami I think this is an intentional choice. He knows Clinton isn't perfect, but thinks she's the best option. So knowing that he potentially has some influence over voting, yeah, he favors Clinton some. But, I mean, he never claims to be unbiased, and those that don't agree don't have to watch.
He did mention that she has been exonerated by EVERY federal inquiry she has been subjected to. And about 90% of the shit Clinton gets attacked for is just speculation or flat out lies. And even she admits her vote for the Iraq War was a mistake.
He's done it in every other episode for the past year including calling out her superficial statements but this episode points out policy ignorance, which is not a weakness Clinton has for all the ones she does.
He does not talk about the elecction fraud, controlling the media,helping to make Trump the candidate
I've noticed that too. He went too far in his "trying to be a [white] feminist" story
Gary Johnson's comment about mountainsand skirts, was probably something he overheard in a movie in the 70s and thought, "that's goooood, im gonna use that."
So many things we thought would be impossible back in 2016!
''I've got a judgement against me from some bitch down in Florida'' Netflix: *I think we can make 7 hours worth of content on this*.
Aww, that Pikachu wedding was a gay wedding! You can tell because it didn't have a curved dent in its tail, indicating it as female.
PushoverMediaCritic This is the only comment here I care about.
PushoverMediaCritic I don't think that Last Week Tonight really give a fuck about that
YOU CAN'T STOP THEIR LOVE!!!!
For all you know, the other one might be female.
female pikachu have a dent on the tail neither of them did.
Cant believe this was before tiger king came out.
I went to two parties last night. I didn’t have the energy to go to a third party. Badum tssss 😂
Wow....lost some respect for John and the show. Treating Jill and Gary like clueless idiots doesn't serve anyone.
Michael Scarn if they would stop behaving like clueless idiots, perhaps you would have a point.
I like Jill, but her plans and policies are not well thought out.
Michael Scarn - Yeah how dare he treat them like clueless idiots when they're clearly also delusional on top of being clueless idiots.
Do you have any counter-evidence to provide that they AREN'T clueless idiots? There were over 40 people who threw their hat into the ring for president, many of them far more qualified than Jill and Gary, who didn't make the cut. The only reason Jill and Gary are even noticed is because they have minor party backing. If they'd run outside a party you wouldn't even know them. Kind of like Joe Exotic.
Michael Scarn , I can absolutely see your point, however, Gary, hasn't helped his cause, and Jill can't get enough pub
BRING BACK BERNIE SANDERS!!!!!!!!!!
Bernie's throwing in his chips with Hilary. If you actually respect him, listen to him and not the idea of him.
Spiny Justspiny Hillary is a demon spawned from within a dying child's nightmare....
Jacob Allen absolutely not
Spiny Justspiny exactly, he's smart he understands if we want anything he promised/is trying to achieve we need to make sure trump isn't president
Technically he can still win. Sanders never gave up his electoral votes to Hillary. So you can write Bernie Sanders on Nov. 8th. 👍🏻
Was anyone else expecting John to say “Identity theft is not a joke”?
"I'm John Oli, and I
Can we get a episode on how bad Hillary is?!? Oh I'll wait..
BigK very true m8
more like bad in a heart-attack-inducing way, if you consider the significant chance that she would lead us into nuclear war
***** He's still not as bad as World War 3.
Devin Roberts we just got that episode about how all her scandals weren't a big deal and Trumps were worse
You know he actually did an episode about the Hillary scandals, right?
