16:51-17:44 is the best part of all the episodes, if you ask me.
The fking Pulitzer-winning story out of nowhere 😭
What's worse: Finding your trade guy on Amazon, or hiring the Goldman Sachs CEO to do it?
Bama was pretty good, man I miss when we argued about mustard and ties instead of basic facts.
Four years later, Trump still doesn't understand how tariffs work. Smh.
is it just me or does bob katter (the aussie in the hat) look like freddy krueger from nighmare on elm street?
Even now, STUPIDITY is inceasing...
Literally the best episode of this show iv seen 😂😂😂
The voiceover person on the documentary sounds exactly like Martin Sheen
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that. I was so confused.
It actually is him I’m pretty sure
Love the intro!
Ironically, Katter is extremely funny because of how barmy he can be.
I find him often disagreeable. But he is by far a better representation of North Qld than anyone else.
News with Guts
Dwight Howard has played for 5 or 6 more teams since this episode aired.
The reason I’m not specific if it’s 5 or 6 is because he was traded the year this aired and I don’t care enough to check the exact date that was
I don't know about Trump removing all tariffs. He's lately been saying how we're going to tax the hell out of any country importing goods to America (but they'll definitely still want to do business with us!). I'm guessing John covers this, but tariffs wouldn't really effect the other countries importing goods here, it would just make the goods more expensive for whoever is selling the item in the US who would then, justifiably, pass that cost onto the consumer.
Why would you make a comment without watching the whole video first? Yes, John Oliver covers what you are talking about later in the episode. Maybe not _all_ tariffs should be removed, but certainly all of the ones he put in place since he was doing so without any realistic understanding of how they work, or how their unintended consequences could reduce or outright negate the benefits they were meant to create.
Then, customers would buy less things from other countries. Those countries would then have less exports. Do you really believe that wouldn't have any effect?
High school economics classes aren't very accurate. They'll tell you the first part and say that it's bad because prices would rise without talking about the second part where we'd be cycling wealth within the US states instead of sending it overseas for disposable consumer goods.
@@Uruz2012 But the US doesn't make _everything_ locally, hell we make very little here locally, and that includes numerous products that we absolutely _need_ that might not be made by any other country, or here, so if they stop selling that here, then we'd be fucked. Alternatively, if that product just gets more expensive, then that can put it out of financial reach of some people that really need it.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to get people to spend more on products made here in the US, but doing that with tariffs is not the only way to make it happen, and generally is a terrible way of doing so because of how many things it affects both locally and abroad. You just tried to justify the tariffs with a couple of paragraphs worth of words.... if this problem were that simple, it would've been solved by n, but global economics/trade is incredibly complicated, so the solution is not going to be simple/easy. Proof being that Trump's plan obviously didn't work.
Guiliani has a big mouth, too bad only word vomit comes out!
If this administration is "the best" Trump could get, we should all be afraid!

{Insert nonsensical political rant here.}
That speech was solid gold. Solid Nazi gold.
