I’m an English barrister called Killian Garvey (Google me for proof). I’m convinced that John Oliver would make a great barrister based on his ability to communicate and argue
...here in 2021, Trump's last flurry of unjust pardons means that Steve Bannon gets away with fraud scott-free.
The wall is only 5 miles long!!
Laura ChIngraham is terrifying.
Ok who else is NOT surprised that one of Trump's last President pardons was for Bannon?
Decided to rewatch this video and just got a push notification that Trump pardoned Steve Bannon.
There are hundreds of drug tunnels, building a wall is useless.
Oh i have good news for Trump. He has a great legacy. Move over Benedict Arnold there is a new sheriff in town
Trump is gone! CNN invites middle eastern people and latin american to come to the border. California is the best state to go when arriving in the USA. Everyone is welcome in America now, Biden is in power. CNN has many jobs for people. This is January 17, 2021. One big Caravan is already coming and will arrive on the 20th January 2021. Jim Acosta will be there to greet the people personally.
Ernie Boch, Jr
hmmm, were are the solar panels? trump did say they would be there...
“YOU CAN’T REMOVE THE CONFEDERATE STATUES! IT’S HISTORY!” “What about Native American history?” “Lol what?”
tax fraud sexual assault no wonder they get along so well!
at least East Germany got it right and they did it with an economy deficit America is the #1 economy and they cant even build a wall the size of Massachusetts (this is just a joke please don't turn political)
And I got such a long way to go. (such a long way to go) to make to the border of United States and I'll climb up that wall, climb up that wall. Parody Of Ride like the wind. Really unnecessary waste of money just to try to have a monument. Ronald Reagan asked Gorbachev to tear down the wall in Germany at the other side of the WORLD and they want to build one to separate our southern neighbor. It makes no sense. Racially Ridiculous. where will be without Mexicans with the fine arts, food and music just to name a few. But hey, now you can have a brick with your name on it for 100.00 and if you cant do 100.00 then for ten bucks we'll put your name on a grain of rice and it will help hold up the wall. get yours today time is limited don't miss out.......Wait!!!!!! if you act now we'll throw in a 2nd. grain of rice for the one that you love so dearly . This is not actually true this was written just to be funny. not affiliated with any builders mentioned in this video and I do not know how to make this fine print smaller than 6 point. like it's usually done for anyone not able to read. ok that's all I got.
President Trump fulfilled a promise to install 450 miles of border wall along the U.S.-Mexico boundary by the end of 2020, according to the country’s top border official. Construction workers put up the 450th mile of fencing in the final days of December, acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said in a private call with several reporters Tuesday morning. “Myself and the deputy commissioner, leaders here, we found out about it - we were briefed on Dec. 31 that we had actually reached the goal, and we had accomplished what we set out to accomplish,” Morgan said.

The reason Trump wasn't reelected is the apperantly the same reason Cyberpunk was pulled out. Everyone wanted it, so it was prereleased and was too buggy for people to accept
@Ilan Smolders I, too, don't want to believe, but they voted for him the first time
nobody wants it
Foreman Mike and The Chaotic Sales Pitch. The best political satire cartoon idea never to have been realised.
that burn at john cena was epic, I am assuming that ofc because as we all know, the british are ripped
I remember seeing on the Daily Show that those metal pipes could be cut by any handsaw that you find at a hardware store.
The "Thicc Latinas" part cracked me up. You just know that was a troll.
Naw that’s just funny
still a trash bag
so someone took the time out of there day to video illegals climbing down the wall an did stop to shoot them or call the police wtf person
6:11 they do have a rope ladder. But I’m pretty sure those will be used pretty often to clime the wall.
The Trump administration at its finest!
12:39 Plot Twist:- They actually stopped committing crime after reaching that 'number' of criminal charges....
21:05 These are the passionate and infuriated words of a man who feels January 20th cannot come soon enough
No joke, was concerned my last name would come up some time during this segment
Well India has a wall but things are totally different here
I don't know that if you noticed you got a British accent. Why you care. Democrat. They were suppose to build a wall around the democrats not their citizens.
•He lives in the US •He’s a US citizen •America is a massive country Maybe that’s why he cares? Also please fix the way you type and form sentences.
please upload high resolution picture of stay up late by brian swords, i'm want to use it as wallpaper for my computer, please please please. I love that painting.
Hold up, you're seriously telling me "Foreman Mike" isn't Alex Jones in a hard hat? How has no one mentioned this? Is that the joke? Am I crazy? Because that man is clearly Alex Jones just smacking things with a hammer.
ssst
God bless you, John Oliver, sincerely; truthfully, in Jesus Christ's living, holy, sovereign name. All is well, content and full of joy in Christ. We love you. Merry Christmas. I thank God for everyday He gives you. God is love. God bless, save, protect, empower and have mercy upon America, in Jesus Christ's returning, wrathful Judge name. Fear not. Fear God only. Psalm 117 1 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Mark 1:3-4 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. John 3:16 Authorized (King James) Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Nobody wants you here Go home
He is uploading from his house.
Has Lindsey Graham ever been to Kentucky?
Logan! Ewwwwwwwwww
In a segment about otherwise utterly terrible things, that joke about the Babadook's hat legitimately made me chortle out loud.
...I'm a casual rock climber, and somehow the way Trump talks about professional mountain climbers makes me feel personally offended. Like. There's nothing specifically negative about what he's saying. But for some reason it's still deeply insulting and I don't know why.
It's because that wall is super easy to climb.
This isn't the first time that the US destroyed a sacred landmark to Indigenous Peoples for a national "landmark", Mt. Rushmore was carved into a sacred mountain.
please talk about the end sars protest in NIgeria.
The wall is a monument to stupidity. There have been tunnels under the border for decades, some a mile long (to avoid detection?). You can find TV news stories with a search.
Down here in Mexico, I’m sure we have a whole underground system of tunnels near the border, it appears every few weeks a new one is found, they are EVERYWHERE.
Re-watching this in December, just realized that Chad Wolfe looks like Zack and Cody's dad from Suite Life
Steve Bannon is like Hades from Hadestown if he couldn't sing like Patrick Page.

I wanted to comment but then saw some good ones and started liking them!!!
I have literally heard NOTHING about that wall before now...
@travelerwithstyle What does the amount of drugs seized by the U.S have to do with anything. A quick FYI, drugs aren’t exclusive to the border.

(since 2016, of course)
They should of put barbed wire and a trench.
You could just lay a board over it. Also water could colectand stagnate in it.
For the “Wall Beauty Pageant”, I TOTALLY wanted to see one of the test-sections fall and knock over the next, and have them all go over like dominoes.
You would have to then them all 90 degrees, but yes, that would have been funny.
Obama announced the number one national security threat was nuclear detonation on American soil and that, by the classified law/nuclear response, he was preparing for it before it took place, as in the entire intent of the classified nuclear response being the legal requirement to prepare for nuclear detonation on American soil before it takes places. Then he moved NORAD, NORTHCOM, and the Pentagon comms to the Cheyenne Mountains literally labeled THE EMP SHIELDED WAR BUNKER. So now we apply the applicational use of Obama's nuclear response to move into an EMP shielded war bunker and we compare the environment without electricity and the area with nuclear power plants to find the sustainable and survivable land. The north is frozen most of the year, North Dakota gets up to negative fifty, making it unsustainable for human life. The east coast would be primarily radioactive from nuclear meltdown. The remaining sustainable states are now outlined exactly the same as the Jade Helm map by the facts of science. Then we get to the Baker Statement and the DOD and DHS under Obama and Biden stated their intent was that the US is not responsible to protect civilian life against nuclear detonation on American soil because the critical infrastructure is owned by civilians and therefore they are only responsible to ensure the operation and power of the military force of the US. Now in the event of nuclear detonation, Constitutional law is suspended until law and order can be reestablished, but it takes ten years just to import a transformer and reactor cores can take hundreds or thousands of years to dissipate radiation until the point the land is sustainable. So the benefit of such actions of Jade Helm are to have control over alm of the military power and force of the United States without any restricting application of law and country ipso facto to dictate its purpose or use. Then we get DT who built a wall on Mexico to ensure the border was secured from any attack points that would be possible to enter following nuclear detonation. Again, rather than building any defense systems facing the south pole or shielding civilian infrastructure. Remember Katrina? Or are you a Katrina denier. Transformers are imports. They are special order and not something just sitting in stock. It takes ten years to build one. Besides that, your reactor cores use electricity to run. Remember Fukushima? Yeah, that's a result of not having electricity to keep the reactor running there pal. You ever look at a reactor core map? Passive systems use physics to shut down reactor cores, but those barely came out maybe 15 years ago and that was just in design theory and not in actual use. There's only so many of them in the world and even then they're still on theory because you really can't test run a nuke eh? Nuclear power plants in America use diesel generators for backup. Obviously, they require electricity. And nuclear emps can take up to 7 days or more to dissipate from the atmosphere. It only takes 9 hours, 12 at the most, for a reactor to blow. And trust me, you would notice if your nuclear plants used passive systems. The cores were made before your first gen cell phone. How easy do you suppose you can update your first gen cell phone, brick shape and all, to a smart phone with JPworlds to watch this channel. About the only thing that works is the shell and it's completely unstable at that. That is the truth behind the wall and you can't deny it because the only intent you have to do so is to deny scientific facts. You can attempt to say that the classified nuclear response is a "conspiracy theory" like you did Alex Jones when he said it was military occupation but the facts are I have clearly stated facts of science that cannot be disputed and to dispute them would require facts of science, not your political intent of political agenda..called terrorism.
@Antonio Moraga Lol. This is a text message, not a briefing. You want a fancy formal response, send me your address and I can file a complaint with briefing. Eh? Otherwise, put your panties back on and deal with a text message there pal. I "relate" a military and legal nuclear response to military and law yes. What do you relate it to? Aliens? You got anything else that would suggest something was wrong other than not liking a text message and not relating nuclear response laws with aliens?
@Its Just Me The moment you start with the “My IQ is too big” or the “Obviously you couldn’t understand” you lose all credibility, specially with the your lack of conveying a coherent idea, it is kinda ironic. I just get really sad seeing people like you, people that think they are superior, people that write paragraphs of pure nonsense. I pity you.
@Its Just Me And your paragraph IS non-sensical, you try to relate a Nuke explosion with the border wall, bringing up an EMP bunker out of nowhere. I am really baffled by your lack of redacting skills, you lack the ability to create coherent sentences. Spacing out your paragraph would be better, instead of having this huge bloated non-sensical mix of complete and utter gibberish. And you try to say Alex Jones isn’t a crazy conspiracy theorists. This is the same guy who said Sandy Hook was fake, this is the same guy who said that the water is turning the freaking frogs gay. He may have been right on some things in the past, but he is FAR from a reliable new source.
@Its Just Me I’m so sorry for you. How do you have the time to write these non-sensical paragraphs? Please you really need to step out of the computer for a while. It’s bad for you.
Let me know when anyone can refute anything I ever say with some intelligence and facts and not radical white supremacist tactics of...if I don't like what you said..or I am the most Supreme in knowledge..and if I don't understand it then it is "crazy". Until then, I remain untouched and 100 and you've got a big ZERO.
A true fraud = 9:39
You know, seeing all of this from afar (Germany), all of what has been happening over there in the USA kind of seems like a tragic and exaggerated political movie starring Al Pacino. I really dont know whether I should laugh or cry, since we also have our own version of these nationalist clowns spreading fear and people are really falling for it. That really is just a shame.
THICC latinas better not be deported
🤣🤣🤣
Maybe the only show where I miss a laughing audience
"Ok Trump, talk about walls." "Alright." *5 minute monologue about wall climbers* Wow, like a true business-man who's business goes downhill.
I can see John Oliver & John Cena in a match; John would run all over the arena cause he can’t see John.😂
So good!
I find it funny everyone is appalled in disgust at our president. Did everyone think he would be 100% different with the title president? Also. Quit riding a party or politician blindly. You gain nothing.
Oh gods I work at a Best Western in Spearfish, South Dakota and we have the Fisher Sand and Gravel guys stay here--I think they're doing work for the state.

Fisher criminal and fraud and sexual issues completely aligns with Trump's wants, needs, and expectations. Not surprised at all.
John's last note was very powerful and consequential. Damages made in the last 4 years will haunt the US for decades.
wtf is happening to U.S.?
Sir. Mr. Jason Bateman Si Sir. Mr. John Oliver
Biden won 98% of Tohono O’odam Nation vote in the previously red Arizona, wonder why?
I'm sorry, the Homeland Security guy's name is CHAD WOLF?? Just how much more of a parody of yourself can you be?
My grandma and I had an argument over the stupid wall. Me: The wall is stupid. 1, it makes our country look bad and 2, Mexico isn't going to pay for it. It's going to be in our taxes. Grandma: We have to keep illegal immigrants out. Me: It's racist. You don't see us making a wall along the Canadian border. Grandma: (completely ignoring the racism) Then what do you suggest? Me: How about increasing Border Patrol, creating more jobs?
I mean. If you were dumb enough to donate to that, then that's on you.
Obviously the wall failed, you can't build two of the same Wonder and they were a few hundred turns late.
I honestly wonder if these "black people" in the background of Trump rallies are actually white people in black face.
More realistically it's a minority comprised of internalized racism combo-packaged with the absurdly racist narrative that the only way for black men in America to get ahead is to suck up to white men. Modern day House Slaves, so broken by their circumstance they can't understand how they are complicit in forging their own chains. (Not to say it's their fault generations of racist as fuck practices across every aspect of American law and culture screwed them out of "equal" lives, just that they can't comprehend how to get out of it.)
ouch, yes
13:45 yikes. That ad would look out of place on Rick and Morty's interdimensional cable.
"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
No more wall man! JOE BIDEN!!!
joe biden the fuckin shockmaster
The only dumb thing missing is them digging a tunnel through the mountains so the wall can go through...
The slow zoom on Trump as he's rambling on about mountains is perfect 😂
I was wondering about this, thanks John.
Can't watch John Oliver anymore as he is part of the Logang
@Ilan Smolders Google claims it's "Logan Paul fans." ...Also a bunch of other really toxic stuff. Which, I mean, John has never advocated for Logan Paul? So I'm gonna chalk this one up to "Bot/troll trying to score points against a rational person with buzzwords."
?
Love from India to John Oliver 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Honestly the whole "we build the wall" debacle is just hilarious. If you're dumb enough to believe a border wall would work you deserve to have your money stolen.
If this infuriates you, should/listen to "A Warning" by anonymous. Audiobook can be found on youtube. Talks about the great accomplishments of Trump in great detail.
k thankz
17:30 That’s the basis for construction You need 4 walls to build a room, how do you fuck up building one?!
8:40. it makes sense, John, because some of those fishy holding companies that have won the bids are for russian steel. trump is laundering russian mob money while also robbing the american tax payer. the incompetence is by design. it is a criminal enterprise.
Sad why American vote for trump I still don't understand, by no means it saves good. 4 years ago with my classmates and they are so surprised too.
Awesome
****** *20201029 ***** *Grand Total 404+ miles ***** (CBP: 400 miles as of 20201029 ; Private: 4 miles). This is ≥ 89% of 450 mile goal, ≥ 79% of 509 mile goal, ≥ 61% of previous 654 mile preexisting, ≥ 40% of 1,000 miles, & ≥ 20% of entire southern border.
I didn’t used to you have crush on Adam Driver but John Oliver’s major crush on him has made me one impressionable lady and now I’m crushing hard on Adam Driver.
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.
If Donald The Duck Trump losses, we will find out who the puppet masters really were, the %15 of the %1. Because he will sing so much, in a chance he will not be blamed for the way America fell
wow, very cool !
Did you see Samantha Bee's video where an eight-year-old child was able to scale a prototype of the wall without using much by way of equipment? Because there are few finer joys in life than Trump getting pwned by an eight-year-old. Just for once, I wish there was satisfaction in being able to say, "I told you so," but there never is. It still doesn't seem tacky enough to really be a Trump property. He needs to spray paint it gold or stud it with rhinestones to get that true tacky dictator-chic, obscene opulence aesthetic that Trump loves. Though it is, as you put it, emblematic of Trump as a person.
Where is the link I want to see
Holy TDS!
Not only could you climb that wall, I'm pretty sure you could just walk between the bars.
jpworlds.info/up/bideo/sJqcfZSAeXdqu6c
Or take a Hacksaw to it! Hell, there was news that a Section got blown DOWN BY the Intense Wind! And People are Taking chucks from it and Selling it Off! LOL ^.^
Never been funny this guy
trump was indeed always a nightmare
2:11 Isn’t that the plot of arrested development season 4?
Constantly blames Trump for bad virus response, no blame on the Chinese communist party.
@Ben Anon those are the official numbers, so explain why you fear mongering ahats act like it's the most deadly thing ever, and that anyone who gets it is at risk of death? Will you address my other points without saying it's fake and explain why I'm expendable? Am I not allowed to see my dying relative because lockdowns?
@jim simpson i cant with the BS about fake numbers. If you look at the total numbers of american deaths per year of this year compared to last year you'll see the difference matches the reported covid death numbers.
@Ben Anon Actually I believe it was China that failed to contain it and allowed it to spread across the world, therefore until the CCP pay for the damage they failed to prevent, and you admit China is worse than Trump, then I will disagree. You do realise that 6 percent died without other health problems, and 3 in 4 deaths are over 50. If you suggest that I or anyone else can't have a future because the virus exists, then I will again have to disagree. Maybe you and John Oliver should take some personal responsibility and put your money where your mouths are? When you are homeless and hungry because you knew best, then I'll care about your opinion. Also if I am not given the option to get help to die because I believe we have no future because I am forced to lose everything to contain a virus that has below a 1 in 500 change of killing me, then I will disagree. Should we therefore ban all unhealthy things because they increase the risk of getting comorbidities?
yeah cause its trump fault it got in, trump let over 200k of his country's people die out of negligence the CCP is still to blame for the virus but trump is to blame for letting it in
@BadassPlaya2517 What, silent for 2 weeks, are you serious? Have they taken responsibility? China is not to blame? They are guilty of war crimes at this point. Are you saying China is better than Trump? Does late night tv not shut up about communist China? Where are the hundreds of thousands of hours talking about the bad things China (or any other authoritarian state) has done? At least Trump lets you say what you want. Did they talk in a way that in your opinion wasn't ridiculous, thereby allowing them to get away with things? Do you blame the people who voted for Trump for the outbreak? Sure vote him out, but China is the main culprit here, and is worse than the US.
trump's a karren hehe
America: builds a wall China: *yeah, that's not gonna work*
A grown man crying about construction workers moving some dirt. This country has become so weak and pathetic, stand up for yourselves white man.
Isn't a wooden wall a fence
Then are the walls of a cabin a fence?
