I kind of feel sorry for Jared Kushner he is given so many roles.
The heartbreaking nitrogen consequently harass because multi-hop strangely box vice a rhetorical eggplant. scarce, dry creditor
The aggressive texture cellularly stain because hedge really stain behind a sordid dancer. unadvised, confused deficit
Chinese Communist Party. Blame them.
What will that accomplish?,
Wear the mask when you take a nap. Wear the mask when you take a crap. When you drive alone in your car beware. There are covid monsters lurking there! When walking in the hot sun you're still not free. There will be covid monsters waiting behind a tree!
" will you pass those pens around" LOL!!! Classic! He knew he was being setup in a political stunt.
Why elect a president who can be set up in a political stunt in the oval office?
Trump vaccine, nuff said
Pfizer wasn't a part of operation warp speed.

Look, I live in the 34th most corrupt country on the planet. Here's how we solve the lack of medical staff - meaning physicians and nurses: There are many of them looking for a job. Grab them, give them proper education, and boom. You now have more people, which means the same person doesn't need to be so overworked.
The fallacious ukrainian analytically decorate because seat macroscopically stroke out a eager black. shiny, wacky crab
Sad to say the pen thing is NOT shocking to me, solely because I grew up with a father who would do the exact same thing in conversations all the damn time. In that respect, my father prepared me well for the psychological damage dished out by the Trump admin.
The massive cell namely jog because anthony plausibly fence given a woozy wheel. one, courageous television

This is such a great breakdown of how/ why Trump was sooo incompetent
More people, more countries, need to compare COVID to the last global pandemic: Swine Flu.
Get them all coronavirus.
And now it's over 500,000 deaths.

Experimental covid vaccine kills more people than the virus.............It's official! IN AUSTRALIA, 909 PEOPLE DIED OF CORONAVIRUS ALL YEAR. EXPERIMENTAL MRNA COVID VACCINE HAS NOW KILLED 982 PEOPLE AS OF 19TH FEB These are the CDC VAERS US DEATHS updated 19th Feb MODERNA 475 PFIZER\BIONTECH 502 UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER 5 Total 982 Total SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS recorded as of 19th FEB MODERNA 7,185 PFIZER\BIONTECH 12,660 UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER 28 Total 19,873 Go to Center of Disease control or type CDC Wonder, and follow prompts to check the number of individual side effects like Bells palsey, for each manufacturer etc.. # 94% of all covid deaths in the US had Comorbidities. (6% of covid deaths were due to covid disease) # On average each recorded covid death had 2 or more pre-existing or underlying health issues, and the vast majority of people were well beyond 50 years of age. # There have been 441,00 deaths from Corona-virus in the US and these are listed as comorbidity. In other words, people more than likely would have died of other causes such as those listed below. # Ony 6% of 44100 or just 26460 people SHOULD have been listed as a covid death on the death certificate! .....The CDC have chosen NOT to list deaths for 2020 in the form below, for some reason?????......... ......United states leading causes of death for 2019........... Heart disease: 659,041 Cancer: 599,601 Accidents (unintentional injuries): 173,040 Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 156,979 Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,005 Alzheimer’s disease: 121,499 Diabetes: 87,647 Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 51,565 Influenza and pneumonia: 49,783 Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,511 # The 10 leading causes of death in 2019 remained the same as in 2018, although kidney disease, the eighth leading cause and influenza and pneumonia, the ninth in 2019, switched ranks. # COVID-19 deaths are reported as a cause of death - when it is listed as a “probable” or “presumed” cause - the death. This can include cases with or without laboratory confirmation. # Certifying Deaths due to covdi-19 Ideally, testing for COVID-19 should be conducted, but it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate without this confirmation. .. In Australia, out of all the covid deaths:........... # absolutely NOBODY under 20 died of coronavirus. # 5 people died under 50 years of age. # Most people who died were over 70, 80 or 90 years of age.
Never forget, Trump's cult enabled this monster and spread pestilence. Never forget and never forgive them.
Time to wake up people!!!! bgworld.info/section/video/3LGjr6eheI1txak.html
When Trump brags about the ban on china, I only hear "I tried to contain the spread by doing something racist."
Cornonavirus isn't Donald Trumps fault.
@Patrick Donnelly I never said everything wrong was Trump's fault. I said our SHITTY response to Covid was Trump's fault.
@nathan mckenzie yea well either way Americans will still behave the same under sleepy Joe. Everything wrong with USA isn't Trump's fault.
@Patrick Donnelly Um no, thats not it AT ALL. The only mentality I'm blaming Trump for is the "Its just the flu" mentality (Lie) that he espoused in public but privately knew it was way deadlier. I blame him for the lack of a federal response, everything from PPE to test and trace and ESPECIALLY for the "Open everything up NOW" mentality.
@nathan mckenzie Americans believe nothing can stop them. Don't blame Trump for that mentality.
Our reaction, or lack their of, is Teumps fault
Mr.Bean nailed it
He has done the best he can..... Which should tell you something about capable he was as president. It's trump the best he can ends in bankruptcy
Worst president in history.
selling his bottled urine..don't give him any ideas!
Biden came within 70,000 votes to losing the electoral college to this guy.
And that’s the reason we should get rid of it. It’s sickening when someone who loses by 8 million votes nearly wins the election
Nov 2, 2020 - "Nearly a quarter of a million Americans". Feb 23, 2021 - half a million.
Those people who said Trump was doing the "best he can" might actually a point, considering how completely inept he is lol
John Oliver, two words: Lyme Disease
Half a million Americans dead and thousands of those because of Trump’s lies and deliberate disinformation.
I am glad I stumbled on this post.This man actually makes sense.
I cried. I died. I lived for a moment inside.
My sense of humour is pretty sick, so when I saw that Trump had called the rona "Kung Flu", I laughed out loud and totally freaked out my cats. Thats pretty fukn racist... holy shit Donald, you absolute dumb ass. o.0 XD
What a load of BS
Coming back here after he's no longer president is saddening.. Because when I watched it originally, I kinda just glazed over watching this, because, let's be honest, it's the same shit we'd heard for about 4 years. But now that I haven't heard any Trump related news for over a month, it's starting to sink in just how bad it had gotten that something like this had become common place and routine.
Here's one thing I don't understand (One thing?): the WHO had a test. It worked. It maybe wasn't perfect but it existed! WHY THE HELL DIDN'T WE GET SOME?? Why did we INSIST on making our own? It just slowed down testing and made this all worse! Okay, everything John mentioned as well, but this too!!
Wow thanks John for speaking so powerfully for so many of us. Love you guys.
Donald trump and all of his supporters are built like shattered lava lamps
This show needs to be featured more than just *ONCE* a week 😒😒😒 *IJS* 🤷🏻♀️
It’s now February 2021 and EVERYONE KNOWS TRUMP could have done FAR MORE to save lives. He LIED through his teeth to stay in office. He is a great big pile of guano.
The uppity vulture intuitively smash because face philly guess of a uttermost thursday. flowery, sincere sandwich
There's still no travel restrictions in to the UK, but we did finally impose a mandatory quarantine. Yesterday. Feb 15th 2021.
That Pinocchio joke was horrible, buddy, comeon, it's Pinocchio. Try making pedo jokes about actual pedos.
Nero fiddled whilst Rome burned. Told with passion.
Well put, John. No we have not and must not forget about what an absolute fuck up of an administration Trump’s was and in at least some ways, still is
Oliver paid off by big alpaca and big candle confirmed
Every time I watch this particular video, my emotion level soars for all Americans taking this seriously AND my hate for #Trump intensifies. You do a great job John Oliver. #LocktrumpUp
covid realy split the people everywhere in the world. its lifes vs economy and responseability for spreading sickness vs not beeing at fault for infecting 20 people of whch 2 died because people die all the time and no one cares if i had the regular flu. people dont want to wear masks, say that its a burden for them, inhibits them.. well ok, but dont doing it increases the chance of infecting yourself or others and act like it not their problem, nor their fault if someone else gets infected and dies.. at least they dont care, if its random joe that dies because when it hits the own family, then its a problem. i live in germany and people here said: its good, it kills mostly the old ones, the boomers that are so many, they eat up so much money from retirement funds and dont work anymore thus are no profit for the country, only a burden, that its the best thing that could happen to us, they all die early, without anyones fault, so its no genocide, and the retirements fonds can relax and we have a better future. its true for the tax state and yes, but its also degrading to anyones life
It doesn't surprise me that Justin Trudeau didn't take action to impose any travel bans until March 21/2020. Honestly, I think they kept our case numbers down because they made the testing restrictions so difficult that people who likely had covid were just told to go home and isolate instead of being tested. I still think it's worse having Justin Trudeau as a prime minister. His loyalties are not with Canadians. Now he and his kiss ass paid off mainstream media stations like CBC are lying to try to make everyone scared so that they will stay home and be told whether they're allowed to work or even protest. It's embarrassing to live in Canada tbh.
I second everything Oliver said.
got this stupid virus around Biden's inauguration and I was genuinely excited that there might be someone in the white house who would try to prevent others from getting it.
Well, we all know who wrote the Pinocchio bit, don't we? Good to see you, Daniel O'Brian, DJ DOBeats, it's a hard time to live through but it's good to see you.
Please Do A Piece on Michael Jackson Hi, I’m writing to you because Last Week Tonight as opposed to other such shows actually cares about issues rather than chasing the headlines. It has been 11 years since Michael Jackson passed away yet to this day what the common consensus is that he is a taboo subject for many. I recall you guys once did a piece on Public Shaming. Michael Jackson was a genius, an abused child. He was strange. He was one of the few major stars from the 80s who came out of the 80s without a heroine addiction. He in his own way did many, Many strange things, but so do most other superstars. And more than others he actually cared. About children, about the earth. About the issues we are discussing to this day. While Icons like Freddy Mercury, Elvis Pressley, Prince, Beetles and many more are known for their good works, Michael is known for the something which he has repeatedly been acquitted for. It’s the truth that anyone looking for will find instantly but due to the “where there is smoke there is a fire” narrative, even 11 years after his death, the new media treats him like a criminal. All his trial pages are open for the public to read. He WAS weird. Making a ranch called neverland, hanging out with children. Trusting people he shouldn’t. But I urge you please cover him, hear beyond the noise like you guys often do. The most successful African American Artist of all time was a humble man child, who respected women, loved children and cared about our environment. He was not a heroine junkie, a private man who did not share his disease even all the way back in 1993 even though he was accused of wanting to become a “White Man”. He was eccentric. Hanging out with animals and caring about them. theobjectivestandard.com/2020/02/justice-for-michael-jackson/ This article covers multiple sources, some of which I had read previously. Michael Jackson was a multi talented millionaire pop star, who was not an alcoholic, was a caring father, a filial son, Treated women with respect, cared about the planet and it’s beings. The press that constantly kept DASHING him, had found a way to subvert their guilt. All those years of calling him a “Jacko”, “monkey” and many more hurtful things was justified if he was a paedophile. They NEEDED him to be guilty. Such a man cannot exist in Hollywood. Such public shaming had allowed and to this day allows Michael to be a victim to all this slander. Please do a piece, if not one that exonerates him then one that once and for all cements the fact the Michael Jackson, the greatest pop star, the first African American Idol was a paedophile. Not through unknown sources or flimsy headlines but through concrete proof. A news echoing in a closed chamber will not reach anyone, most fans who what to know the truth know it, other people will read the headlines but not the explanations. It’s about time the general public knows. Please do a piece on Michael, the blatant mistreatment by the media, The systematic racism he faced during his trials. Please don’t let the first African American Singer be remembered for the things he did not do, He was weird, weird enough to annoy Freddy Mercury with Bubbles feedbacks, weird enough to let kids crack raw eggs over Michael Jackson, Weird enough to play water balloons with children. But he was not a paedophile and the world needs to acknowledge that. He was in no way a “Perfect Human” but he tried his best to live right and we should not punish him for doing that. On this year please exonerate this Black man, the Justice System has done it two decades ago, it’s about time everyone else does. Please do a piece on Michael Jackson. #spreadtheawareness #justiceformichael #hedeservedbetter
Except he's not relevant. The whole point of this show is "Last Week Tonight"
Greetings from February 1st 2021 450 thousand Americans are dead from COVID COVID.... trump should be held accountable
Greetings from 2 weeks later and we are over 500k
trump is covid
Imagine If talke about Bolsonaro Brazil's president he would have a stroke hearing what he said about covid and the fact that he didn't like Biden for who knows why
Obama or Bush would have stopped this.
I am an essential worker at a truck stop on a major corridor highway. For the past year we've been doing everything we can to keep things from spreading. We saw at least 5k people every day through our stop and every time we would wear a mask or wipe down our workspace we'd get these nasty looks from people. I had a guest cough on My counter, so when she left I reached down and grabbed my own (I had to buy germicidal cleaner) bottle of cleaning solution and sprayed down the counter, the next customer just looked annoyed and said "oh you believe in THAT" I was trying to protect her, and she was getting indignant. I am very close with my parents and for months I would wonder if I was going to kill them either this disease. It made me move out and get my own apartment, because I couldn't forgive myself if they got sick. My dad, an engineering contractor lost his job. No expansions were needed when shit was getting locked down, and in August he walked into our garage and blew his head off. I spoke to an audience of maybe 40 of his closest colleagues at the funeral, a sea of empty chairs, and the worst part is that I'm alone, I can't go to a bar or an arcade, or do something social because of the social distancing, I couldn't see my mom for six weeks because she caught it and I had to watch her through the glass door, wondering if she was going to die too. I'm still scared, I still wonder if this customer is going to give it to me. I want this nightmare to be over, I want to eat at a restaurant, I want to go bowling. I also want to be treated like I fucking matter by our government, I poured my blood and tears into this shit, and as "Essential" as everyone says I am, I really don't feel it. I wasn't even eligible for stimulus checks, I was claimed as a dependent in my parents 2018 taxes because I was in school. So fuck this system, fuck the people who turned a blind eye to the reaper, fuck the system that let me slip through the cracks, and fuck the people who claimed to have done something when all they did was talk. Burn It down. Bring the storm. I hope biden does something good for us
John Oliver has helped me, a 17 year Republican, see the issues with my worldview and the worldview of my party. A disease-ravaged country and the death of my aunt while the President I helped elect touted bullshit about the "fake media" making it a bigger deal than it really was opened my eyes to the fact that the thing he had been feeding me all along - "I'll protect this country" - was exactly the opposite of what he was doing. Sure, he was great at making the Left my enemy while a very real enemy was moving across our country and world at breakneck speed. Then, January 6th forced me to finally take action in my own life and change my political party. When talking about politics people usually always shoot from the hip, closing their minds to what others think and feel, and usually offer feelings of their own instead of sound arguments. But, these sound arguments in an easy to swallow setting have allowed me to put down my armor and really see the fuck-ups for what they are. Your and your team's work matters, Mr. Oliver.
I want to say im proud of you for changing your ways rebecca
sorry but how did you vote
I buried my mom last week. She was a nurse and didn't deserve to spend the last two months of her life in a hospital isolated from family and friends. People this disease is terrible and anyone who says otherwise can say it to my 12 year old sister whos mom died two days after her birthday!
So sorry for your loss. Stay strong.
@0:51; I can't quite recall the timeline - did we know that Covid-19 had a symptom of a lack of smell by the point this joke was made? Because to be honest, until the pandemic is over, it may be quite a while before we can have a full episode on scented candle fraud, given...well...the pandemic.
Trump won!
No he did not
hahaha no, loser
lolnope
bye bye dude, its over
I am proudly Australian and here in Sydney if you walk down the street and ask anybody about how Covid 19 affects them the most likely response that you'll get is a shrug and a reply of "not much". Our elected leaders actually give a shit about us and quickly responded to the threat and rather than bitch about our "freedom" most of the public followed the medical advise that was updated immediately after any change and endured the isolations and lockdowns, those that didn't follow the advise were fined and faced a possible 5 year jail term if deemed a danger to the public. With your leader .............. he doesn't care about anything but himself and where that has gotten you ? Our prime minister wouldn't last 6 months if he behaved this way !!!!!!
Still better pens than Mike
My doctor thinks that the hospital is just making it up how many people have died...just so they can make more money!!! What a FOOL!!! And he holds the power over me and my drugs!!!
I love how Sikhs are shaving their beards to save their patients but white Americans are complaining that they have to wear masks when they go out. Yes this is bitter and angry.
Trump was correct back in Feb 2020 , that he foreseen Xi would be able to have the COVID-19 under control within China . However Trump was wrong that the virus would disappear magically and totally not prepared for the worst .
"I can't help these people" through deep hurt. doing your best dude.
You have the look of a scholar and the taste of a macaron 😆

I'm only viewing this in Jan, '21. I've always appreciated just how Mr. O. can get to the point by slowly changing the balance between humour (heavy at the start) to reality (heavy at the end) just before the real knife comes out - and his delivery of the death blow is as worthy as any Shakespearean denouement. John, this is Emmy/BAFTA quality material, and I would be extremely sad if it doesn't get recognition: script, staging, and presentation are - as ever - top quality.
Trump Immunity Juice: FAIR TRADE, FREE RANGE...
And then you know he also didn't buy any vaccines
Trump the Borg don’t want him.
Hi John it’s Jim Margolisss daughter (Lucy) u prob wont read this but I’m a big fan!
What can be best that hearing a british complain about Donald Trump at 3 AM.
then you find trump never had any plan in place
I'm your fan now. Full devotion. Lol. You are hilarious
Yeesh, that sounds rough......here's a one-time gift $1200
January 27, 2021... still hearing about Covid
Jan 2021 still talking about covid. Wrong again mr trump.
When you realize all the celebs, establishment politicians and Democrat base are liars...it makes it a lot easier to not listen to all this fabrication. Joe's been in office a week now and said there's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the virus... So J Oliver ..WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR VIDEO ON BIDEN?? Biden is comedic gold and these assholes won't make fun of him ...ha! Ok...
Can't tell if you're trolling or if you're just that impatient. Ending a pandemic of this scale takes time.
"Everyone who says things contrary to my beliefs are liars" riiiiiiiight. Not immediately; most of the crap that Trump did to screw up our ability to deal with it were in the preparation and early stages of the pandemic. It's not like Biden can just snap his fingers and undo those mistakes. At least his administration should be able to put together a competent plan for administering the vaccine, which should help in the long run. Because as a President, Biden is downright unremarkable in comparison to Trump. Sounds to me like you're just salty he isn't regurgitating Republican propaganda.
I'm watching this and wondering what Boris Johnson's responses were. Shame we don't have a similar show here.
Looks like this Corona fella was just waiting for Trump to be president to break out
The 6.8K people who down voted this video are probably dead.
Americans made a President who had no idea of governing or politics. And no attempt to learn. EGO !!!
😳 Is that pen thing actually real? Or is it a satire takeoff by Alec Baldwin or some other Trump impersonator?! I view Trump as a moron, but surely THIS cannot be real !!!!!
Am I the only one who thinks Dan O'Brien snuck in a Obsessive Pop culture disorder rant when John ranted for more then 30 full seconds about Pinocchio & Geppetto?
It's been about two months and I can, indeed, confirm that we have stopped talking about COVID in my house.....we just call it "The Crisis"
500 people die in a plane crash = bad. 5000 Americans dying daily = boring news. I’m so glad to be done with Trump math.
500 fake deaths against 4000 real deaths, A DAY ?
Over 400k Americans dead in Jan 2021
This episode of LWT, unfortunately, keeps getting more relevant every day.
The really sad thing is that Trump really may have done what he could. Not everything that the office of POTUS would have enabled him to do, but everything that he was mentally capable of.
@Jabroni As they say, a bit of A, a bit of B, also it seems to me that Drumpf may be genuinely incapable of caring about anyone who isn't him. Sometimes I feel like he really doesn't get why people make such a big deal about COVID, because as long as he isn't in danger personally, nobody has a reason to make such a big fuzz.
it is. you either say he is mentally incapable of handling the crisis or what we saw was his conscious response to the pandemic.... eitherway, he shouldve been removed from office years ago.
Does anyone else remember when this was a comedy show?
this aged well
Tragically, yes.
John in 2016: “There’s a part of me that even likes this guy. It’s a part of me I HATE, but it is a part of me.” John in 2020: “TRUMP HAS BEEN A FUCKING NIGHTMARE!!!”
