I love the way John bounces in his chair when he gets excited.
He does it for the jokes. He isnt actually current on events
@@stablegenius2389 this isn't a current events program. It's a comedic journalism program.
@@KelniusTV it's very much current events. Comedic is questionable
andrew strongman get a life NPC he’s incredibly unfunny and extremely unamerican
Stable Genius he doesn’t do jokes tho
Isn't the poly-graph really unreliable or something?
Ethan Plague but with 50% people failing, that's still a terrible sign.
Very true
In the video Oliver refers to it being used as a placebo effect, basically spooking people into being truthful.
Ethan Plague it was such a small part of the video.
Guys chill out.
To anyone complaining that John Oliver isn't American or patriotic or any other such notions: One of the duties of Americans citizens are to be well-informed and have the ability to come to our own opinions about what the government is doing. It is our job to criticize poor decisions, outdated systems, social inequalities, etc. That is American patriotism. America as we know it (or at least the basics of what make up what we generally perceive to be American) more or less founded on immigration and undermining a government that was doing things we did not respect nor believe in. So yes, John Oliver is very patriotic.
I find it very sad day for 'Merica that your very clear and well thought out definition of patriotism only got four likes. I would give you many many more if I could. Respect.

Now, let's talk about Patriots...the ones who defended their beautiful lands against an invading force of illegal immigrants that had far superior weapons and, in the end, far superior numbers. A group of patriots who had lived in a relative paradise for 10.000 years before the invading force ever thought of leaving its home lands in search of MORE.
Yup, those of you who have had a history class have probably realized that I am speaking of the 500 nations of Native Americans that were the victims of nothing short of genocide during episodes like "The Trail of Tears".
Now for double-down patriotism and bravery...the "Code Talkers" of WWII. There were patriots from 16 different Native American nations in this program, (you hear mainly of the Navaho) and they served in all theatres of the war. They created a code using their native languages that was never broken by the enemy...and they had front-line positions as it was they who gave tactical information to those troops that were in the thick of battle.
But, yeah, John Oliver is doing OK too...in trying to hold up a mirror to show us how stupid 37% of America looks these days...a bit different sort of Patriotism.
Very well said
The car says
"It would be great if you understood this, because having a good level of Spanish is essential for this job."
!Bravo!

Smoking weed 20,000 times in 10 years means you'd have to be smoking 5 times a day. Assuming 8 hours of sleep, that's once every 3.2 hours. That guy was high literally 24/7 lmao
I had a girlfriend who would dab like.. constantly. You could multiply that number to get her daily intake and the wax she smoked was fucking potent, like even some of her friends were like I don't know how the fuck lol I'm talkin a shotgunned a rip off her and had a "arms-around-my-knees-to-my-chest-on-the-bathroom-floor-Kim K.-style-ugly-face-crying" type total meltdown. Lol some people build a serious tolerance and smoke to feel 'normal' but to each their own
You missed the 60s. 5 Times and 8 Hours? Really.
Hey. It’s not impossible. I do it.
That was me before i found out i had ADD LMAOO
& that's just on company time.
Story time. I went to high school in southern Arizona around the time of the last Border Patrol hiring surge (from 2007-2011, to be exact), so we had a lot of recruiters come to talk to us. I remember one guy in particular. He was on the younger side, and he showed us a recruitment video he put together. Said video featured a LOT of footage of agents rounding people up while holding rifles, a fair amount of flashing lights, and was set to death metal. Next he started ranting about how Chinese people were trying to cross the Mexican border (I have no idea why that was significant to him or if it was true), and that he loved rounding up illegals. Then he starting talking about how we shouldn't go to college, because the Border Patrol was so much better, and our principal had to swoop in and get him off of the auditorium stage.
A week or so later, the agent's boss came in and explained everything to us in a more rational manner, with actual facts, and it was pretty clear that he didn't approve of the agent's behavior. Still, the fact that people like Death Metal von Shoot-a-Man were getting hired at the time...that's pretty fucking unsettling.
John Wedig I'm liking this not just because of the story, but also because of the excellent nickname: "Death Metal von Shoot-a-Man"
John Wedig chinese crossing through mexico is a thing, tho most get in through sea, ships.
"Death Metal von Shoot-a-Man" is hilarious, up vote for that.
But in all seriousness that is probably a symptom of what happens when you're not careful about who you're hiring. That agent sounds like he needed to get another job. Unsettling story for sure.
Chinese crossing through Mexico? Huh? Most are just going to use tourist visas and overstay because the vast majority of Chinese nationals are coming to the US with tourist or student visas.
Bradley Ogilvie I came here to post that
my friend is a border patrol guy and 70% of the time he just plays Runescape.
An odd coincidence that a Border Patrol man plays a game that has "Run Escape" in its name.
In all seriousness, im not too surprised. Boredom is one of the worst parts of any job. People have to find ways to keep themselves entertained, otherwise they quickly come to resent the job.
Dustin Johnson Great now every time I hear Runescape all I'll hear is Run Escape.
Dustin Johnson haha. Good catch!
Fox Mcovitch what's his woodcutting level?
I thought that was the title when I first played it. :p
the back of the truck says " it would be really cool if you understood this, cause having a good level of spanish is fundamental for this job"
just in case y'all were wondering
Those "don't speak Mexican in my country" so-called "patriots"' would have their heads explode meeting one of those Border Patrol fellers at a barbecue. "Thanks for what you do to protect our country, friend." "De nada!" "Excuse ME????!"
I feel like some Americans are distinctly uncomfortable with the idea that they live on Mexican and Indian land. Like if they can make everyone speak English then they won't have to think about it.
Omg you’re so right
one mind boggling fact about the Spanish language is that the United States has more Spanish speakers than every other country on earth except for Mexico. that means that we have more Spanish speakers here than there are in Spain, which the language is named after.
As there is no official language in the USA, Spanish is essentially the secondary language in this country
I live in El Paso which has the greatest percentage of Spanish speakers out of any city in the USA at 70% of our population. if you lived in my city you would not find it to be an uncommon experience to have to order your food or whatever in spanish. In fact, it's common to hear "wow, you live in El Paso and you don't speak Spanish?" it's considered the norm here to be able to speak and understand spanish
I don't think we can ignore this any longer. Guys, I did the math. If that agent smoked 20,000 joints over a 10 year period (3652 days, 2 extra days from leap years included) then that means he would have smoked 5.47645126 joints per day. That's between 5 and 6 joints a day for 10 years solid!
harry briggs That's alot of joints......but that's also alot of dedication for those calculations. holy shit
Lol ur the man
Just to clarify, the story didn't say 20,000 joints. It just said 20k times. Granted, that's still a lit of weed, but in the world of all day every day smokers it's fairly regular. Translates to about an ounce a month.
harry briggs kids, THAT'S how you have with math. With a shit ton of blunts .
It's not that much per day but the effort of keeping it up
Number 1 thing all law enforcement needs to learn: all these people are human beings too.
Not all of them.
But that'll make it harder to brutalize them
pop, go move to Mexico
They already know their people if they're that worried about being brutalized all they have to do is not cross the border illegally go to a legal Port of Entry not give thousands of dollars to criminal organizations to smuggle them across the border. It's a really simple concept if you want to enter someone's house you go to the front door and knock you don't sneak in the basement window

Here is how stringent our government really is about its hiring: My mom worked as an ICE agent for many, many years. Before that: She was a swing manager at McDonald's. She had a GED and went to Votech to be a secretary. I'm not sure she graduated from Votech or not. Almost all of her previous careers were fast food, then suddenly she is working for the government, jetting around the world and making good money all because one of her McDonald's coworker's husbands worked higher up for ICE. My mother is someone who is alcoholic and never should have been around a gun, but she had a GOVERNMENT ISSUED gun. She was FINALLY let go ... after almost 20 years. There they gave her ANOTHER government job until eventually, she was working at Dollar Tree. And for most of her time there she was obese and out of shape for the entirety of her employment. She was supposed to know Spanish ... she knew less than a toddler that regularly watches Dora.
Wow. That is an incredible story. Not sure if I believe it or not but it's probably true. Shit like that happens once in a while I'm sure but I think her story is rather unique.
Only in America.
ICE has only been around for 16 years, since March 1, 2003.
@@muscularcatholicism What does that have to do with propaganda?
@@BUSTRCHERRI Unique? One in a while? You're kidding right. It's not just ICE or border control but even other law enforcement groups like local police they're infamous for their poor vetting in many cases and there's a plethora of evidence of the poor hiring in the border-related enforcement in particular. Sorry bud but that's reality.

jwelch5742 tell me this is real if it is, in fact, real
Real?
It is weird that the government still uses the polygraph test, even though it does not work at all.
*Nigel Van Suspicious Salmon*
It’s a year late, but I gotta give my hot take. Generally speaking, polygraph tests seem to be reliable enough. Can they be trusted beyond a reasonable doubt? Absolutely no way: they should never be admissible in any criminal justice setting. But can they be trusted enough to screen for psychopaths on a job application? It appears so
I suspect that a large part of why polygraph tests are useful is because they worry people. Make a suspect uneasy about a 'truth-machine', and they're more likely to let something slip.
@@Kyle_Schaff one of the major problems shown with the polygraph test is the fact that psychopaths can lie their way through it simply by convincing themselves that they are not lying to not raise they're heartrate. Theres also the problem of false positives because people tend to become nervous when subjected to polygraphs. The primary problem, to me, with the polygraph test is that it is a tool of coercion and many people take the results of it too seriously. Just my take on it
*Dillon Schickel*
I just don’t think that a problem of psychopathy exists here. The disorder is so rare, and I don’t think that psychopaths would be attracted to such a boring job.
I also think that it could be a useful tool if we were honest about its faults/shortcomings to ourselves and those being tested. That it’s a useful indicator but can never give concrete results.
If our barrier for what tests can be used is nothing less than certainty, nothing can be used to screen people. I can accept the system’s faults since its use has been demonstrated to be much better at preventing bad actors than it not being used at all.
It absolutely doesn't WORK, but on the other hand, the sheer belief that it DOES probably goes a way to ensuring more honesty DURING a polygraph test.
Please don't finger the armadillos.

That's why I love John Oliver. Doesn't pause for applause just gets on with it. Fast, Informative and fun. Best show of the decade!
John Oliver should talk about how polygraphs are bs in our interrogation system
While results from polygraphs aren't all that accurate, they are often quite effective at getting people to be truthful about things they otherwise might not be, thus they are somewhat effective in interviews. Of course they should never be used as evidence in the judicial system
Waldo
Yeah who the hell cares about accuracy?
You fucking worthless rotten shit.
Polygraphs should be used by the person using it, only if that person doesn't know that they are bullshit. Case n point the guy who said was incredible if he committed any crime during his 3 hour blackout.
I thought he had... someone did. Was it Adam Ruins Everything?
Cooper Judson I hear if you clench your ass cheeks it throws off the lie detector test

This show is "Adam Ruins Everything" combined with the "Tonight Show" XD
And with nore research. I've grown disillusioned with Adam Ruins Everything. There's often very little nuance or deep dives like this show has. It seems like they just go with the story just below the surface, then move on to the next topic.
@@jpheitman1 true but to be fair, this has about 25 minutes to go in depth with a single topic while adam ruins everything has to cram multiple topics into a similar time frame

Shelby Hansen Probably, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Lol if your a sociopath like the few serial killers that passed just makes the agents look worse
And there are a plethora of confessions!
"Don't finger the armadilos"?
We in Florida are like "hold my beer"...
We actually have signs in our parks and lakes that say "please don't molest the alligators".
I wonder what happened there. 😂😂😂
you could put anything after Florida man and i would believe it
Lol molest can also mean “to bother”
But also, that’s like an archaic definition of molest.
Everyone should go on at least one hot ride with the village alligator bicycle
High Onheroin “please don’t to bother the alligators.”
15:54 Used that line at a dinner party last night. Learned this morning that “fingering” does not mean “giving the finger”.
I would have thought that you would know, the polygraph doesn't work at all. It just measures stress, which can be caused by a multitude of different thing. Also one can cheat it easily
Kinda goes to show the point that hiring methods should be improved.
It doesn't work, but it seems some people here admitted to crimes, so it at least had some use
"Anyone" can cheat it, the vast majority don't. You don't put a lock on your front door to keep out a determined minority of criminals, you put it there to keep out the more opportunistic less dedicated majority of criminals. Same applies with polygraphs, yes a mastermind can beat it, but mostly criminals are just folks.
True, but the problem is you also get a lot of false positives.
I think the point is that most don't know it's unreliable. So you can with maybe some cold reading probably get people to confess to most things. Maybe just for the sake of this video the team at the show wanted to keep it that way or they figured they didn't have time to really go into detail about it and explain its short commings. That could almost be an episode in itself.
Guys, the ineptitude of the polygraph test is not the point. The point is what they confessed to after failing it (7:35 - 8:15).
No, the ineptitude of the polygraph is absolutely a point that needs to be made. John explicitly expressed concerns in the possibility of shortening the polygraph, which means he believes it's a valuable tool; which it ISN'T. It doesn't happen often, but Last Week Tonight is spreading false information here and it absolutely should be addressed if people are actually getting behind it.
Furthermore, the idea of supporting the polygraph because "look at what they admitted to while under the impression that it's accurate" is so obviously flawed. That means that it's a useful tool for coercion when the person being tested is misinformed into believing it works; which means beating it is simply a matter of keeping calm, which obviously means none of it's results can be trusted.
You are an idiot. A really, really, unforgivably dumb person, and your presence has clear negative influence on other people. Take a break from speaking your mind, and take some time to actually develop it first.
Claiming the polygraph isn't the point is like claiming the falseness of psychics isn't the point despite being shown their foresight is totally bogus.
Even assuming the polygraph is useless...if one could make the argument that the potential positive consequences of it outweigh any negatives... what's the harm in keeping it? (I really don't care, just seems like a weird thing to obsess over.)
@@ninaasf-ck If polygraphs were just used to bluff people into a confession of crime, that would be one thing. I'd still argue there are probably better ways to get confessions out of people, but that's not the point. The point is that these recruiters actually believe in the polygraph themselves. People can be hired or rejected based on their polygraph results even though, as mentioned, the polygraph is deeply flawed.
@@modothegreat108 then I guess the real question here is: what does it say about the people that organization has hired if the recruiters believe the polygraph is infallible, and who would want to work for such an organization? (This is semi-rhetorical in that the entire point of this episode is to illustrate there's a lot wrong in these govt/public service organizations, polygraph notwithstanding.)

For those of you who aren't from the US, one of the pivotal points before our Revolutionary War was the Boston Massacre of 1770 where American colonials were throwing rock-filled snowballs at British redcoats, leading to the shooting death of 5 colonists. We regard it as a paramount part of our history, and a point where we said, "Enough is enough, it's time to fight back."
So it's all the more ironic when these "true American" patriots see the shooting of a 16 year old for the same reason as a perfectly valid response.
Border Patrol training:
2 hours of exercise
4 hours of learning Spanish
10 hours of playing chess with an elderly person who never fully understands the game, and every now and then, they mention stories of their life, or how you remind them of their kids/grandkids.
I never considered how much of the Border Patrol's work is humanitarian. It must be incredibly difficult to deal with not only drug traffickers, but families with children as well.

The polygraph is not good at detecting lies.
Justsomeguy asking a question, then waiting for the applicant to tell you the truth, can also be inaccurate.
They are when the border patrol agent is fking tripping balls and you ask him scary things, like: _have you ever considered that everyone you love is gonna die someday and while it happens you'll be border patrolling? I think there is a horrible monster behind you??_ XD
The justification wasn't that it detected lies, the justification was that after introducing what amounts to a placebo, a lot of applicants admitted, in detail, to committing crimes.
A Man is No one Which you can't actually use in court.
Pride Guy well then it's a good thing they were hiring people for law enforcement positions and not gathering evidence for a prosecution.
Next do one on why polygraph tests are BS
Hello fellow person with a Lucky Star profile picture!
I have seen this personally many times. The BP was clearly forced to choose quantity over quality, which was their previous high standard. Thank you for bringing this to the attention of people who do not live near the border and have no idea of what happens here. My prayers are with the agents who serve with kindness, firmness, and integrity.
*MORAL OF THIS VIDEO:*
The job for border patrol ain't sexy
Yeah, too many jokers seen movies like Sicario and Cartel-land and Narcos and thinks they would be the one that brings down a Fuckin' Cartel.
Most jobs for the government aren't sexy. Those that are are usually dangerous. And by 'usually dangerous' I mean you have a decent chance of being First Blood. You know, that guy who gets hit to let everyone know that the action has begun.
P.S. BTW, the military is a mixture of both.
real moral: Don't finger armadillos
Channel for Positivity l Understanding l Justice Vigilance is important. Needless to say Border Patrol needs to purge some people off the list in order to evolve into the force that it needs to be to guard our national borders. But just because the chances of direct action are rare does not mean you should you should slip in your quality of vigilance. There is a reason why the ads for recruitment have a martial and vigilant look to them. Because the quality of those rare moments of direct action are the make and break line between success or failure as a potential agent since they are meat and potatoes of the raison d'etre of the Border Patrol exists in the first place.

Alex North What's wrong with red delicious apples?? Apple racist!
too gritty, f red delicious apples!!!
Good video, but the polygraph test is complete bullshit.
Correct
The polygraph can't tell, if someone is lying and because of that this is no longer its main purpose. But people often confess under a polygraph just because of the stressful situation and because they think the polygraph would find out, that they are lying. Like you also saw in the few examples in the video.
In fack polygraph has a 90 to 95 % of being right and the only reason it doesnt get used in courts is that 5 Or 10 is too much of a risk in a single persons life but in this large numbers if only 90 percent of them did shit it is still the same
Completely agree
Oh my god Will Arnett! I knew that voice was recognizable!
Polygraphs aren't useful.
They are.
Yeah but if someone believes the polygraph indication that he or she has been caught lying and confesses to everything, then it doesn’t matter of polygraph is credible or not. The people confessed to everything.
IT'S BETTER THAN A PLACEBO.
POLYGRAPHS WORK.
You know that a plant can fail a polygraph, yes? It’s just a heart rate monitor. Anxiety or arythmia alone can fuck it up.
Hat43 they are, but as mentioned above they're better used as a method to convince somebody to confess, rather than as actual evidence of anything.
To be honest, I wouldn't mind being border patrol if I could go herping or fossil hunting to pass the boring time.
*Approaches migrant family with a snake I found earlier wrapped around my neck like a scarf*
Outstanding! Oliver makes a strong argument for proper training of Border Control Agents!
I honestly saw the title and thought it said “Paw Patrol.” As in, the kids TV show.
He would talk about fucking the dogs
Genuinely made it sound like a job I'd consider going into there at the end.
Omfg, I can't be the only one that was absolutely cracking up when he said that part of the armadillo 😂😂😂
Randy there's a Florida law specifically against fucking hedgehogs. What happened?
I live in a border city and one time I was out in the desert for a field study and border patrol found my friend's iPod. That was nice. Also one time the remains of a mother and child were found on our school's research land so the students were allowed to test the decomposition. That was awful to find out about.
love the Will Arnett voice over at the end
At 18:53, the family is looking at each other like "Is this country really worth it?"
Best ad ever.
Ironically, this made me want to join the Border Patrol.
Kate D Hopefully you'll do better than the guy who ended up with a bloody kitchen.
Kate D so I'm not the only one, though the chances of me doing it are low.
me too

Yeah, never considered that first point, I guess some of the views would be pretty great as well.
Pretty funny.
The boredom patrol. The Jarhead effect.
5:04 My friend also knew that Butt-Paste is for pasting butts closed. She is a mom of four and since saved hundreds on diapers/wipes by eliminating the problem at the source.
John Oliver is a hilarious man and I support almost all of his opinions but I can't get over the fact of how much he looks like an owl 😂😂
Banana Man xdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
Like a nervous owl who wants to ask you to prom
isn't it funny how this argument is used almost word for word about programs that force a certain number of POC teachers or women as firefighters or in the front lines of the military.. i'm not saying I'm completely against those things but its literally the same exact argument about lowering standards to quickly get whatever arbitrary number makes your organization look good
teamSAF bmx people are forcing a certain number of POC teachers or women firefighters because they look like owls?
Libby Bollinger hahahaha
Well, if nothing else, I have learned that Cirque du Soleil is Canadian.
i really want to watch Bojack horseman now. That advertisement was spot on. i feel like you should make more for the US military.
Will Arnet was a good decision for their border patrol ad voice. ♡
Anakin Skywalker should have been given the title 'master'.
Take a seat.
Hyperion Anakin deserved a seat, a seat on the Council, that is.
Logan Smith He was on this Council, but we did not grant him the rank of Master.
Aaron Hall what? How can you do this? This is outrageous! Its unfair! How can one be on the Jedi council, but not be given the rank of master!
The jedi are scum! They tried to do a coup against our beloved chancelor (he is the senate)
No need to subscribe when it's always f**king trending lol
Was that Will Arnet doing the announcement at the end
yes
I came to the comment section to ask this! Thanks!
I also came to the comment section to ask this
OMG there's a great Bojack Horseman Joke here somewhere
Marc van den Bovenkamp yes
That commercial at the end 😂
Don't go down here. It's not fun. Save your eyes.
OI, LINUS AINT A JUNKIE!!! He is a good man, he helped a woman with cancer and gave hope to those who needed it. I will stand by Linus through anything so don't you dare insult him...
Him shaking the foil took me out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Circus-fuckers need not apply". Brilliant XD
John Oliver is basically saying hire capable people and yet there are people in comments who find that difficult to understand, possibly because they refused to watch the entire video
Let me save you from scrolling in the comments for an hour. This comment section is fucked.
Dean Ervin the hero we need but not deserve
thank you kind sir, you just saved me hours
no shit sherlock
I didn't read your comment and choose to scroll down. Now I have cancer.
I thought this was the usual funny "oh noes don't scroll down" and I did.
DON'T SCROLL DOWN GUYS. Fuck me how many trump twunts on youtube comment sections.
I love the Dora the Exploradora backpack that one lil girl has
Oh yeah, the best place to look for border patrol agents is at a place where people are so drunk to be amused by cars making left turns
Christ Almighty, it's 1:32am right now. Oh well. At least I don't have to pay for the HBO subscription!
Holy shit, I died when the van door opened and the dude is just sitting there with his thumb up.
9:28
One of the funniest lines in the clip.
