- Donald Trump could soon dismantle the agreement designed to curb the Iranian nuclear program. Our catheter cowboy will do his best to keep that from happening.

Are you kidding me?! Liechtenstein is adorable. They sent out an army of 80 men and came back with 81 because they made a friend.
I love Liechtenstein XD amazing
-1 causality is probably the best military outcome ever.
Berkeley Pickell -1 causality is actually the reason many wars are being fought in the first place ;P
I would call that a military success
@The Godless I mean, it's not like we can do anything about the substance. That's why we get our news from comedy shows. Without the laughs, it'd just be depressing that we live in a dystopia of stupidity.
To the writer who spent over 50 minutes for the skateboarding jokes
Thank you for existing
BANA Nawal I came here to find out if the writer got it right...cause I know shit about boards
Thank you
John seemed so angry about it, too, lmao.
Dan o brian
I am the writer. Thank you soooo much ❤
@@vineetgiri9570 where you from in India?
the skateboard joke roughly translates to “i’d put rougher griptape on the nose of my board so my foot doesn’t slip up if I start falling during a nose grind” for the 5 people scrolling this far down the comments
Shayan how dare you concisely deconstruct a joke that cost some poor beleaguered writer fifty precious minutes to craft.
Shayan thank you very much. I needed that
You are the kind of person the world needs
yes this skateboard joke is fascinating
Is it weird that I cant talk that way, but I can perfectly understand skateboarder lingo?
I am an Iranian, let me clarify some points for all of you who live elsewhere specially Americans,
1. Iranian people don't hate Americans,
2. Sanctions against Iran only hurt Iranian people not the government, in fact those who are connected tho the regime get stupidly rich as a result,
3. We are not as desperate as you think we are, I'm sure even in the US there are some talented skateboarders with homemade skateboards.
Oh and one more thing:
Next time you are filling a form on the Internet try to select Iran as your country, all the countries are there except for Iran, can you understand how humiliating that is, are they saying we don't even exist? don't you think that's racism?
or when they banned us from entering the united states, what did we(Iranian people) ever do to deserve that? Bin Laden was from Saudi Arabia, and they are A-okay?
You should hate America, my man. And if not flat out hate, you should really hold it against Americans from taking away your democracy back in the 50's. John went over that history too briefly that you may have missed it if you blinked. Right now, the half of the US that want nothing more than you, and I mean you as in the population of Iran not just the corrupt regime, to become the next Iraq. I repeat, HALF THE COUNTRY WANTS YOU DEAD OR SUFFERING! And it's the half currently in power.
You're probably young, and I support your decision to not follow the example of your bitter and conservative elders. However, some basic principles must last through generations, the important one here is that America has to answer for ruining your chances as a progressive+democratic country, turning you into the theocracy that you are today. AND THEY THINK IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR IT!
Peace, my brother.
i mean, Finland doesn't exist, but we have evidence of your country existing...
Maybe we should forgive each other. Iran is a tough situation. Not the people's fault tho.
Man if US, especially Trump's US had any logic or a real concern for people of the world, they wouldn't be fighting 8 wars and killing innocent people with drones. This is pirate imperialism - all the evils of imperialism with a pirate code. US had only destroyed the world, toppled democracies and instated dictators. They never bother to understand or get to know the situation on the ground anywhere. They just form prejudices about places in their heads and are convinced they know more than people who actually live there because they have internet and live in the "greatest" country of the earth. They hung Saddam for the chemical weapons they themselves supplied. The CIA carries out chemical attacks ( allegedly) to keep the wars going so that their war machine can keep churning out money. US foreign policy is sick and US intervention has been and still is the biggest threat to world peace. And then the Us govt pretends to be the LEader of the free world. Not a single word in that sentence makes sense and not a single one is true.
Thank you, babakht, for clarifying!
I have a plan: just rename it “the Trump-Iran Deal” so he thinks it was his accomplishment and he’ll keep it
Bradley Ogilvie oh that'sa good one
Bradley Ogilvie that might actually work.
I am all for it. I think Obama is all for it. Whatever we can save the deal.
But there's still "Iran" there. Just call it "the Trump Deal" and he'll fight tooth and nail to defend it.
Even better: have someone propose the exact same deal we currently have but call it the "Trump Deal" and see if he falls for it lol
Talkin' Tehran is an amazing bit. I love how every celebrity in Hollywood is willing to do jokes for him.
I wish it was real, I'd subscribe for sure.
NO YOU SHUT UP!
My favorite is Helen Miren reading both the book of Peter Rabbit and the US report on torture!
I'd listen to that shit LOL
I was disappointed to find out it wasn't real, Big Money Salvia would've said fuck it and made an episode of an actual podcast just for the sake of the joke.
Members of both sides thinking it is too generous to the other side is a good sign that it is a fair deal.
"The fairest deals are the ones where everyone feels screwed over."- King Zøg, Disenchantment
It's only a fair deal because Iran never had any intent of developing nukes in the first place
@@sirius1696 what, so does that mean that everyone created a fake crisis to cry over?
@@DoctorWhoKage yes
@@sirius1696 wow! 😳 I guess we got tired of waiting for the next crisis (after solving North Korea (more or less) and finishing up in the Middle East, more or less) so we created a crisis that wasn't really there. Wow. And thanks to Trump, that crisis probably became very real and it'll probably take forever to reforge the Iran Deal.
As an Iranian, loved reading all comments, the new generation is a really good hope for us all. Actually was surprised at first for not seeing any nonsense hate comments which is great. I have many friends from US, but I don’t remember asking or thinking about our government’s policies when we made friends. I believe there are 2 sides which must be kept separated, people and governments.. peace out
what so you say about the "right to dress for women" ? #whereisshe .
you can never keep state and people separate. it is because of your taxes ,your supreme leader is able to say anything. #dumbIrandeal .
junnu ravi kumar we have so many stupid laws like the way women must dress, compulsory hijab, not allowing women to enter stadiums.. and the list goes on and on.. I understand your point and I’m agreed. What I said is more of a desire. Trust me, we do not want to be compared with our gov. We respect every country’s flag, we don’t burn it. What everyone sees is gov people doing it and showing to the World. I always feel ashamed watching these behaviors. I’m sorry to all American fellows. I’m sure good days are yet to come.
junnu ravi kumar Bro if you are indian you have bigger issues to take care in your own country #where'smybeef
Be nazar-e man, Iraanian mehrbaan, mehmaan tavaaz, va dustaane hastand :)
As an Indian, I agree. Also, our countries have had good relations; there's no need to point at external problems when we have our own issues to contend with in-state.
When you have a deal that both sides aren't terribly happy about, it probably means that it involved real compromise and is a good deal.
Satyrical Exactly.
Don seems to think of this as a business deal.. How clueless can you get :/
"Donald" should be a scale, like: How stupid is this? from 0 to Donald
Edit: ups sorry Donald Duck, so from a scale from 0 to Trump
Parent: How well do you think you did on your test?
Me: Trump
Parent: You should have studied.
Oh boy, you just made a big Trump! What are you gonna do now?
I cant remember the quote and im sure in botching it "a good compromise leaves everyone angry"
as a person who was or in Iran and lived there for 9 years, I can say that pizza hat is amazing
What kind of pizza did they have? What did it taste like?
They had the double stuffed peperoni and it tasted like peperoni just that it had two more peperonis on it like a sandwich.
@@ps3master72 asking how things taste is still a question that amazes me to this day
Can I ask you something, how do Iranians feel about Iran deal being taken out? Relief? Alienated? Annoyed? so forth.
It becomes scarier. We have a feeling that the government is going to do what Russia did in the cold war and spend all of their money on the military than on the people. The price of bread has skyrocketed and so has everything else. We are screwed. Recently the Iranian air force attacked an American Battleship in the Persian Golf. If the Government keeps going like this we might end up in war, with nothing to eat. We will literally become Syria. Some of the tax money is used to help out other countries. I personally see I lot of correlation between today's Iran and the USSR in the cold war. To sum things up, the Government isn't spending its money on the people but on the military and other countries. The people have to pay thousands of rial to buy bread and the Government will most likely start to invest all of the countries money into nuclear weapons. The military has been attacking neutral ships and it looks like we are going into imminent war.
Oh come on, Lichtenstein was a literal case of the treasure being the friend they made along the way. They deployed 80 men to guard a passage, but they never saw combat, and they brought a new friend home when they disbanded over the lack of a real threat.
Every party walked away from the deal feeling dissatisfied. That's how you know the deal was fair.
Exactly...because everyone made tough concessions...that's just what's needed to make such effective deals like this. It is a good one
Peace requires sacrifice.
Not really. The US has no right to dictate what another country does or doesn't do. Not one bit. The US feeling dissatisfied is a bully being annoyed but Iran dissatisfied is a reasonable party being annoyed. Learn the fucking difference.
"The only solution is to change the regime!"
Yes, because that worked SO well the last time.
The only reason Muslims have sway over Saudi Arabia today is because we overthrew their moderate, democratic government in the 80s. Every time we interfere in such a huge way, we create a power vacuum that gets filled in less than optimal ways.
Rick 'The Greatest Poster' Ever you are so ignorant and stupid that it’s actually impressive. Please don’t ever set foot in a government building ever again. At least think before you do so
Don't worry, THIS time the regime change totally won't result in another ISIS.
Again.
Dude it feels like donal trump wrote that shit himself
Do the democrats have a brain, more research it needed.
"I am glad those children are dead." This was John Oliver pushing the lines of comedy. Cracked me up
He is right😂🤗
"We won't be babies anymore."
Good lord.....does he ever _not_ engage in psychological projection?
It sometimes seems like that's all he _ever_ does. It's like he's CONSTANTLY telling us who _he_ is....by saying what he thinks of _other_ people.
Everything is about him.. always
Its deadly talk, lives are at the stake when he spews that garbage rhetoric STILL. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED IN IRAN... Its deplorable and just painfully ignorant in the worse way
The man who looks at the sun during a solar eclipse when told not to, is going to decide if one of the most critical deals in Modern US Foreign Policy History should be reaffirmed.

@@scooprussell930 where the hell is that guy??
Yep and its a shame it did not hit better.Iran is shit but the US are at their own fault because Iran was so fucked over by them (removing a democratic government, The Sha opressing the population to a grade where they stayed in the demonstrations against him when the army shot at them.I mean how desperate do you have to be to stick to the pope to get rid of your president?And the list goes further)
I mean they have every right to hate the US for their crimes.Its like the yews have a reason to hate Hitler.
Logan Rau - I am! I’ve been trying to get to the perpetrator of the problem. I believe it’s Billionaire GOP donor Sheldon Adelson, who paid $30M to Netanyahu and $20M to tRump to get him to 1) move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and 2) Take us Out of the JCPOA the Iran Nuclear Deal. Sheldon Adelson has said in the past that we should “send a Nuclear bomb to Iran” and sides with Netanyahu on Israel’s bombing of Iran in May 2018. He’s a huge GOP donor that has them in his back pocket and has donated millions to GOP candidates in the past, has backed tRump after he won the nomination, paid $100M smear campaign against Obama in 2012, and after the Koch brothers horrible Citizens United was passed by the Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote in 2010 which said Corporations are People, it gave Adelson the right to donate millions to Super PAC’s to push his Zionist agenda!
@Toori Baba Iran in check😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣what a joke OMG thx for the lough. Didnt Trump say he would attack 52 targets if Iran attacks any American assets but didnt do shit🍌

The irony of Boris Johnson saying that someone who wants to end something has to have a solution for what to do next should not be lost on anyone
Uhm... the UK will do well with its commonwealth, also the EU will bend over for the UK so Denmark and Ireland don't follow.
So you are saying the uk isnt losing money hand over fist... do you even follow the news...
@@siamsurf I have not seen any indication that Ireland and Denmark want to leave the EU, I remember how the Irish mock Nigel farage for trying to convince them to do so
UK does not have commonwealth. its dead. And Ireland and Denmark have no intention of follwing. If anything, Italy is the closest.

As a proud Iranian-American, I'd like to take this chance to say much love to the people of every country and culture.
Throughout my life, I've heard countless people praise Iranians and Persian culture in the United States and I've seen the admiration for Americans and Western culture from the people of Iran. To believe the citizens of any country are the same as their government is to believe the people of the United States are all proud supporters of Trump. It's never been that binary and it never will be. Good and bad exists everywhere.
Peace and blessings to all the good people of Iran, the USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia, planet Earth.
One love ✌🏼🌎.
Well said, thank you!
Peace!

By now, it seems that any statement Trump ends with any words should absolutely not be believed.
@@Stella-vj6sx any statement he ends with silence is also pretty suspect.

Just rewatched this episode. Are we celebrating in the streets of Iran? Nope. Do we have a better agreement in place? Nuh uh. Have we heard a single goddamn bit of a plan, or even heard Twump say the word 'Iran' since he tore up the deal. Of course not!
I'd call him a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal, but that would be an insult to our ancestors.
Honestly if he said "grass is green" I'd have to fact check, then make sure I'm not red-green colourblind, and even then I'd have some doubts.
Just rename it "The Norway deal"... He'll sign it in a flash. It's not like he reads the content.

But ... just remember what happened in Sweden yesterday .... you see?

Nothing - it was a Trump Quote ... he once hinted at that "Sweden incident" and noone in Sweden knew what he was talking about. He needed an example for terrorism, but had to make one up on the fly.

So true story. When this deal first came through I remember watching Fox News with my family and having a contributor talking about the “24 days” clause. He said (I kid you not); “That’s like giving a drug dealer 24 day’s notice before a search warrant. You know you can flush a not of nuclear dope down the toilet in 24 days” Even though I was a lot more right-leaning then than I am now, I still remember thinking; “wait, that’s definitely not how nuclear disposal works.” XD
Also, strike carried out in Iran and we are still asking "where the hell is Jared Kushner?"
Thank you so much, HBO, for releasing these. We really do appreciate them. Keep up the fantastic work.

I was hoping someone pointed that out
Sixth Jayhawk Conservatives do that. They have a creepy fixation on children.
It's also weird cause in this country we dont have time to put our kids in our laps.
Wow why is that bad? Man you guys treat any parental affection as pedophilia, its stupid. When my dad came back from work, he always spent time with me, and yes that involved him keeping me on his lap, or hugging me, or joke wrestling with me. Please dont equate parental love to a sexual one.

as an Iranian, that's interesting that I see someone actually have some accurate information about Iran. I think it's the first time I'm seeing a person in American media know something about Iran. many times I've seen Americans couldn't even pronounce "Iran" correctly :))

"You can't just be against something without any plan for what comes next." What are you talking about, that's the entire Republican platform.
That has certainly been the case since Obama's terms in office. I dunno what it is about him that got their panties in such a bunch, but they've gone from the party of 'let's put more money and power in the hands of corporations' to that + piss on everything everywhere that anyone but them has done, regardless of its merit. It's just gotten so much more extreme and vitriolic in the last 10 years.
Not that the democrats are that much better, they're clinging to the fading memory of a legacy whose like they'll never approach again, hung up on old ideas and desperately afraid of innovation, and with the advent of Neoliberalism are largely indistinguishable from Republicans in policy.
Steve Pittman
No party is perfect but you kinda have to agree that Democrats are far better than Republicans in making America better.
Republicans have a scandal after a scandal and they constantly lie, thats why people still have support in them, they fucking lie.
They mostly seem to have saner ideas (because most anything is saner than 'I know, let's give corporations all the power!'), but by and large they lack the political will or ability to enact them in anything but the most hamstrung, half-assed way. Meanwhile the Republicans keep gaining control (because that's what happens when you let corporate money into politics; the people interested in giving the corporations more money and power tend to get the most support). I know it swings back and forth, but this rightward swing has been particularly bad, and neoliberal democrats are just making it worse with their half-assed Republicanism when they're in control.
@@stevepittman3770 The parties work together to give the rich and corporations all the power. The Democrats aren't failing to stop the crazies. They're working to enable them. The Republican party's job is to indoctrinate the dumb with worship of the wealthy, and to keep a coalition with those already indoctrinated with some other bullshit, like white supremacy or fundamentalist religion. The Democratic Party's job is to gather and squander the political will and energy of the rest of us so we don't stop the dumbasses from voting to give the rich and corporations all the money, which Is power. The Dems are paid to lose, and to not get anything that their voters want accomplished when they win. It's the illusion of choice.
@@trentrubenacker9718 Yes, it's an illusion of choice, but not for the theoretical reasons you're thinking of. I hypothesize that it's the Rothschilds who work with Politicians to give them--and their friends the upper hand. The Rothschilds want someone who's gullible enough to do what they tell them to do in the Oval Office and right now, Donald Trump seems like the best choice for them. Send a text to Russia to interfere with the 2016 election to make 100% sure that Trump'll win, and the perpetual cycle of corporate evil continues. Same for all other Western Democracies and Israel.
Has anyone tried presenting Trump with the current deal but calling it the "Trump's Best Nuclear Deal"? I mean, he won't read it and I doubt he's read the current deal... it just might work.
We should literally do this, this is a good idea that might literally save our lives.
It's like, nobody has even thought to take advantage of Trump's stupidity and ignorance to get what we want. All you have to do is stoke his ego and tell him this plan is something Obama wouldn't or couldn't do. He'll do it immediately.

vahidmirkhani I'm actually not being sarcastic. Both sides haven't found a way to get Trump to sign something and I'm surprised no one has thought of it.
The Usa has an assload of nuclear weapons, is the only nation that used them before and has a mad enough leader to use them again. Im more afraid of what the USA might do to humanity than of what Iran or North Korea might do.
The US also lost a nuclear bomb - twice! - and accidentally dropped one from a plane in their own country. Watch Jon Oliver’s piece on nuclear weapons and be amazed and horrified.
@@OlafPijl Also dropped 4 over Spain, all of them completely assembled and ready to be detonated. The primer charge that initiates the nuclear reaction even exploded but not in the right way for that to happen, since it needs very specific timing. Hundreds of thousands of hectares of soil were contaminated with the spread of nuclear material.
That pocast portion was soooo good and on point 😂🤣
How did he barely mention the most outrageous part of the "ludicrously short history" of US-Iran relations ... He says: "In 1953 the CIA helped organize a coup to depose Iran's democratically elected prime minister" This is so important. This is where it all began. The Shah's regime, the revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, the Gulf wars, ultimately ISIS. The destabilization of this whole region goes back to CIA/MI6 saying: "Look, this Mr Mosaddegh you elected as your president? He may be nice guy and all, but he seems to think that the oil under his feet belongs to the Iranian people, when of course we all know it belongs to British corporations ... soooo, he' gotta go" - Man, I wish John had elaborated on that ......
americas cashing out all its bad karma
Well. it was, in his own words, a "ludicrously short history" of US-Iran relations.
Does everyone here forget that it was the UK who convinced the US to do that? it isn't like the US just said one day "I am gonna start a coup in Iran!" The UK had stock in Iran and when they lost that stock, lied to the US and said Iran was supporting the Soviets. In 1953, communism was a very touchy subject.
First off Mossadegh was NOT democratically elected. Like the constitution required he was named by the Shah. Mossadegh however tried to topple the constitutional head of state and usurped powers (including Commander in Chief) and shut down the press.
The Iranian constitution was modelled on the English: The King (in this case the Shah) in Parliament. That is, the King convenes the Parliament, appoints the Prime Minister submitted to him by the majority of the Parliament and calls new elections when there is no confidence in Parliamentary leadership.
In 1953 he dissolved the Parliament to prevent them from passing a no-confidence resolution that would have ended his prime minister ship and led to a general election in which his party was almost certain to lose.
On Oil the US and the Shah weren’t unfavourable to Mossadegh. They all wanted the British stranglehold to be broken. The result was not good at all for the British (who under PM Razmara would reluctantly make a 50/50 revenue deal)... the result was a Consortium of Oil companies producing the Oil for the new National Iranian Oil Company. The winners of this were Iran and the US. The Brits were relegated to the backseat.Mossadegh was driving the Iranian economy towards the abyss and allied with the Tudeh Communist Party.
The US never interfered with Iran, but were invited by Iran in 1941, 42, 43, 46 and after specifically to reform their finances and military. This was widely popular in Iran, which back then was not at autocratic, but a constitutional monarchy. Even Mossadegh turned towards the US for military and financial help. America didn’t force themselves upon them. Mossadegh, as said, was illegally USURPING power. He dismissed the Parliament, made himself head of state, closed down the press etc. The United States were pursuing its Cold War interests, helped the constitutional Iranian government(who requested American help) and forced practically out the British. The British lost their status after 1953. The AIOC became BP. The Iranian Oil was produced in certain areas by a Consortium of US, Dutch, French and also (much diminished) British Petroleum. Meanwhile the Iranian NIOC was starting to develop other fields or contracting to other national oil companies. Iranian revenues soared. 1973 Iranian oil was effectively in Iranian hands and the soaring oil prices made Iran immensely wealthy. Iran was even developing oil for other countries and took over the British role of "Guardian of the Persian Gulf". The Brits were the biggest losers of 1953, right after the Soviets.
And Really? The destabilization of that region is all down to the coup? So all those Arab-Israeli wars would never have happened? The intifadas would never have happened? Saddam would never have gassed the Kurds? The civil war in Algeria would never have happened? The Soviets would never have invaded Afghanistan?
@Rod13 Because Hezbollah is terrorist. So is Hamas. You talk nonsense.
"Changing the regime" was not what screwed everything up in the first place?
Fernando Oliveira so I'm curious, what was the 1st thing to screw up?
Did you watch the clip above? In any case Iran had the Shah imposed as its leader by the US and Great Britain rather than its democratically elected prime minister. This lead to hatred of the regime and the '79 Revolution.
well it was modern democracy before until the us fucked it up bcs of oil
dude8746 I understand that part, but he stated it wasn't the first thing that screwed up in the first place.
I mean... It worked so well in Afghanistan and Iraq... Oh, wait!

“Our people are babies”. How ironic considering Trump acts like a baby.
Plz tell me your being sarcastic? Or this is some god tier meta irony?? Just plz woosh me, I can’t
And considering he's been exposed for wearing adult diapers
As an Iranian who doesnt even like the current gov and wants reform. I support the deal. This is the best way for Iran to open up and step by step reform. The second you sanction the nation and isolate it youll make the gov hate you as well as the Iranian people, who's livelihood you just ruined.
How do you feel about Zionsim though
Dariush Ashkani I agree completely. The liberal forces within Iran are getting to the point where they can say, "Look, we got sanctions removed when the hardliners couldn't and without a war, to boot!" Don't undermine them.
...that nutjob in chief wants to keep iran's oil...said so in video tape in international news to boot
Iran doesn't need reform.
@@roguishpaladin and you were wrong. Also liberals and hardliners aren't enemies in Iran. Just disagreements.
I demand a James Vanderbeak and John Oliver podcast.
Joseph Simko yes please!
the few seconds of it were pretty damn accurate
5:10 phew that didn't age well at all

The Bolton part aged well.
Fun fact: the Gerbil would actually not get drunk, because its metabolism is too fast.
Kevin Beteta That _is_ a fun fact! Thank you.

John Oliver.
The hero you didn't ask for, but you get anyways
AwesomeAsim too bad he is so biased that I can't take him seriously anymore
RSVDCN would you elaborate please?
RSVDCN means that since facts have a bias towards John Oliver's message as opposed to their own message, they refuse to take him seriously to spite reality...
@@CollinMcLean Conservatives not only lie to others, they lie to themselves.
@@CollinMcLean denying that an apartheid state should be called the Zionist regime is being unbiased? lmfao moron

I love that it took 50 minutes for one of the writers to search enough material about skateboarding to make a joke, but in another episode they were able to learn how to make a whole robocall system, and set it up, in less than 15 minutes...
You know we are living in great times when the president of the US says he studied something in great detail and people immediately start laughing -.-'
Shows how horrible people are. Clearly you're not familiar with hatred, lack of social acceptance and (probably) intelligence :P
Maybe I was complaining about Trump being an awful president, or maybe I was disappointed with this times and with the fact that even if Trump studies something in detail, people would laugh at him just because they think is not that smart. Who knows? The only thing I'm sure of is that some youtube users like to think they smarter, assume stuff they're not certain of, and their comments show lack of social acceptance and (probably) intelligence ;-)
fleetlordavtar Why are you even here watching a 3 weeks old video then? I find him funny :D
FenrirWarrior
I hope spanky has watched this. He will have learned things he didn't know about Iran..... like everything.
But Lincy, who closely tracks the U.S. counterproliferation effort against Iran, said that by letting so many men off the hook, and for such a wide range of offenses, Washington has effectively given its blessing to Iran’s continuing defiance of international laws.
Remember how trump supporters were freaking out about Hillary starting new wars and how she was a warhawk...
Can't wait to hear trump supporters explain this mess.
He could take an angry shit on the constitution and his supporters will claim it was a 3d chess move.
Well, if he actually start a war, his supporters will say
‘YEAH! TRUMP IS NO PUSSY LIKE THAT OBAMA!’
Didn't Alex Jones had his "fuck Trump" moment for when Trump decided to not pull out of Syria?
Honestly though, they will explain it pretty simple: Trump is starting a "good" war because he is a republican, while Hillary would have started a "bad" war because democrat. This is the fking reason they blamed Obama for a war Bush Jr. started. This is why Trumps approval raitng went up when he bombed Syria a few days ago, even though the fucktard in chief warned them over Twitter so the attack did virtually no damage. The rightwingers love war and violence, then just pretend to hate it, when it is about democrats.
only half bad 333 simply put he is a war hawk f#@%
My dad is a huge conservative and his explanation is that the deal is just giving them resources while they build bombs and the solution is to is basically hold them at gun point while having sanctions and daring them to build a bomb
I was drinking coffee during the baby joke, choked the whole thing, thanks John.
Choked the whole baby?
Here we go again. More relevant than ever. 🤦🏻♂️
Well, fuck.
Also thank you John Oliver, you are truly doing something good.
Atrocious Nightmare interesting video
Reaper main
I'd greatly appreciate it if some fellow John Oliver fans & concerned citizens who like 90s classics would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve and IF GOD WAS ONE OF US by Joan Osborne on my channel. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace out.
Producing political... comedy? as propaganda? That's what he's doing good? Well, at least it's funny.
Thentacle propa...ganda....
you think fact based satire is propaganda? we’ve fallen so far from grace smh
-The U.S invades & occupies the 2 countries next to Iran.
-Iran starts researching nuclear capabilities for deterrance.
-The U.S imposes sanctions on Iran, refuses to comply with its signed agreement, and now make threats to invade it.
Cool.
we2e2ew Iran is a theocracy.
So is America (?)
Joshua Sweetvale No. America is a plutocracy.
Dear lord this is a stupid post
America is a secular democracy.
Any reason why its stupid? Maybe make a better point then oh I don't agree with this post so its stupid.
The worst deal ever created was the Treaty of Versailles.
_"We have to agree 0 is less than 10 otherwise we're fucked"_
Oh John, if you only knew...
"I cannot express enough the extent to which 0 is less than 10. It just is. We have to agree on that or we're all fucked."
I'm fucking dying
they killed catheter cowboy!!! RIP catheter cowboy, in heaven there will be no pain when you cath.
In heaven, you don't cath.

9:36 I saw this ad on tv last night for the first time and instantly thought of John Oliver. 🤣

A cringe-worthy commercial.

John Oliver and technoblade.
Because interfering with Middle Eastern governments with military force has worked well, right? Right? Oh wait....
Hey gotta keep the war machine running now that ISIS is gone.
We have already deposed a regime in Iran before and it led to the Islamic revolution.
It has worked wonders for the oil corporations and the government. it was only a disaster for civilians and US ground troops which the govet doesn't give a shit about once they return (because no one want's to go back once they see the shit storm first hand)
maxwell sope
False again.
It lead to islamic revolution, yet, Iran is, in a lot of ways, more secular than US's ally Saudi Arabia. So, I don't think the real problem is Iran here.
I honestly went looking for that James Van Der Beek podcast, and now I need that to be a thing!!🤣
He is the goodst boi.
Also, I need that podcast just for the pure chaotic energy

That was sick bro
No lie, I would definitely listen to any and all episodes of Talkin' Tehran.
Dominic Gillispie talpiot talk on yt?
Watching this in 2020 and still holds up
Someone out there deeply appreciates that skateboard joke!
"Mr. President welcome back to Mar-a-lago! I thought you were signing the nuclear deal though."
"I-ran from the deal"
omgerd...
BOOOOOO
As an Iranian i must say that ppl don't say doom on America here ... only some of our governors say it AND it is not satisfaction to us 😑 so apologies if u got angry for the madness of some of them.
PedRaM NG Don't worry, those of us who actually pay attention know that. That's why we, and Trump, are still on the side of Iranian citizens.
The Democrats can't hear you.
Baker 2 Rogers and i wont listen to them 😂🤣
CTDrago
And Trump is on their side how? By ripping the deal that eased their lives and showed that diplomacy wasnt to be trusted with US? Iran compiled with the agreement as had been said and worse yet now there are talks of reimposing the sanctions lifted, further just proving the fanatics point that the "west" aka. USA is only out to kill them and is not to be trusted.
John Oliver is a clown like all other democrats.
4:03 i would actually listen to that podcast...
Does anyone else want to hear the rest of Talkin' Tehran or is it just me?
Hey John Bolton, what did you do when the army tried to draft you during the Vietnam War?
Iran.
He Bolted
He's from house Bolton, so it makes sense that he's a conniving coward.
you all made me laugh so hard. Thanks :-D
I like how the most vocal Hawkish politicians avoid drafts. If you like war so much, get in there!
I loved that "eh" response of the crowd at 18:09. I don't think anyone is really into an Iran war.
Travelled to Iran- what a gorgeous and friendly country. Met some of the best people and what history.
People are awesome in Iran, But the government is not...
Everyone hates their Government. Everyone. And Iran is much better than other countries and we have evidence of that. Which country has Iran bombed in the last few years? How many has the US done? Wonderful.
The only difference is the Us is richer hence its citizens are slightly happier. The only reason its richer is because of the weapons the US sells to other countries from the wars it creates.
If the US was poor, they would see a coup too. But they're smart enough to make other countries lives miserable..
Saqlain Rattansi I don’t. Stop trying to find excuses for having one of the worst governments in the world
Sort of like the US. Great people terrible politicians.
Absolutely- Americans are a bunch of great folks- really easy to talk to. Politicians are always terrible.
As a Persian im glad he pronounced Iran correctly you never hear it pronounced correctly in the US
Are you kidding me. Even if Draco Malfoy did go to muggle post grad school, he would never wear the outrageous clothes Boris Johnson wears. Not to say he'll be less if a pathological liar
*of, but yes, I do agree with you. His father would not stand for him wearing such muggle clothes.
When Trump calls something _"the worst deal ever"_ , shouldn't we hear that in the light of his: _"biggest inauguration crowd ever"_ ? (especially by now?)
"We could be in serious trouble."
We are in serious trouble.
Joseph Charles We can only hope for the best. Besides,the rest of the world doesnt share Trump's view
I know you are scared so please just try to calm down. What did that bad republican do, gosh it's scary and I need to jump up and down.
+Baker 2 Rogers
Well he just ended a political deal that was deterring global nuclear war, so I'd say that's something worth being upset about.
I'm Very Angry It's Not Butter!! the Iran Deal made nuclear war inevitable
they were supposed to dismantle the centrifuges that are ready now
