John Oliver Says Donald Trump Lied About Being Invited On His Show | WWHL 

Well the whole show, the host and even the guests in this case are pretty much anti-matter for Oliver and people who are fans of Oliver that like his intelligence, his self-effacing style, and his impatience with fluff. This is perilously close to something he would parody on his show, and he finds himself sitting in the actual set. By the end the host is literally holding up his cards and reading from them like he is running out of ideas, and NOT in an ironic way. What's not to hate?

Agreed, Andy is very easy to have little patience for.

What???? John and Andy are friends IRL lol

Brilliant response. Thank you for educating us. Andy should do a follow up clarifying this point / shedding light on it!

That is great and I wish it was that way everywhere

I came to say this exact thing. Rebel should know this fact and advocate accordingly.

Good luck find someone willing to do it that's not a close relative. My country has similar laws about this subject, and it ends up that barely anyone ever uses it due to the legal requirements and not being able to be paid to do it. Not mention the whole legal problem regarding birth certificates.

Except I bet you don’t apply this to most forms of labor. Most labor is commodifying bodies within capitalism, with a big economic power imbalance. But you support a law that punishes women for trying to survive in that system. You could just as easily say sperm donorship is commodifying men’s bodies. Of course it’s more labor intensive to go through pregnancy, which is all the more reason they should be laid for it. Why would a woman risk their job and livelihood to go through pregnancy for something she and her family will gain nothing from no matter how altruistic they are. This just punishes women.

Just curious, but what do you mean when you say it has to be altruistic?

I thought that was odd they said that, too

@@ChirumboloFilm It means that you can't be paid to do it. You are doing it out of the kindness of your heart. Medical bills etc can be paid, but it is illegal for any payment to be made to the surrogate for having the child. :)

@@veaton77 Thanks! That makes sense to me now.

Very big difference. Though I don't understand why, as long as there are strong regulations.

Gross

Well, considering abortion is illegal in Brazil, there are over 5 million children in the country who need adoption. Maybe it's a way of encouraging people to adopt rather than seek surrogacy

There's also a lot of problems regarding who's the legal parent of the child, it's not really a good system and it's not surprising people rarely use it here, if you have the means you go the US and just pay someone there.

​@@b.k8051That's not it. The reason is purely due to the 'morality' problem of being able to pay someone to carry another's baby, similar to why abortions are still mostly illegal.

@@l4nd3r it’s all wrapped up in religion. It’s Brazil.

YES! And I LOVED the closing number in that episode on SLAPP suits. Well worth EVERY PENNY HBO spent on it!

Is she? I don't see it. John was being kind.

You’re commenting on a clip from his talk show…..

@@jenniferford2067 I got that but it doesn't change the fact the interviewer is doing a bad job.

So true, instead just make sure to pass a bunch of laws where she can't control her own body or make choices about it. That's so much better. If a person wants to be a surrogate for another person, then they should be allowed to. The money is to compensate for the extreme stress that pregnancy puts on a woman's body. The money is to compensate for the risk they are taking for someone else. Pregnancy and birth can be fatal to a mother and yes, she ought to be given something for doing something so important. You, as a man, have nothing to say here, as your life isn't at risk during pregnancy or childbirth.

@@eshbena what you just spouted is a bunch of capitalist / neoliberalist nonsense. You do NOT commercialize women's bodies. Would you defend slavery based on all you just said?

​@@JordiVanderwaalIf a woman wants to commercialize it's own body from it's own free will she should be able to. I get it that it can create for some bad power dynamics but the reality is that people are rarely autruist, having a system that's rarely used and kinda forces people to fly to other countries to make use of it there doesn't make sense to me.

@@l4nd3r "it's own body"? 🙊

The could be said about any pregnancy, you just intentionally use dehumanizing words to make it sound inherently bad. A women willingly doing this should not be punished, which is what you are doing. In a capitalist system, asking women not be paid for the WORK of being pregnant for someone else is insane.

Oh please. Andy laughs at himself constantly. Read his book.

@@jessiesecrest3211 umm that host isn’t either end of the comparison you are responding to?

Spelling out the obvious for those that are being challenged by above...Im referring to Donald Trump...Cant believe I had to point that out...

And what has been your contribution Vanessa?

Not supporting fascist regimes, not ideologically or monetarily.

If you needed to try it to find out, you're not very straight...or you're a degenerate.

Not the only one!

That was Seth Meyers

Many did.

So much to unpack there.

Thousands of people all over the world thought it was funny and outside of the US, that trump was and is funny. How do you manage to single out one person? 🤣

@@caitlynlivingston7272 they are? 😳

This is giving strong religious vibes

Very well said…he annoys me when he goes on and on about surrogacy as a gay man who has no idea what the woman is giving him…it’s just strange. His kids are with the nanny 90 percent of the time as well. It’s his way to cheat the system, because he wouldn’t be allowed to adopt since he’s never around and has no partner.

@imalwaysright What an ignorant, prejudiced, mistaken judgement of me you've made. If you get 'religious vibes' from my post, you're senses are waaaay off, because I'm not remotely religious. I literally have no religion and am a borderline atheist, who is actually pretty liberal - I'm pro-choice on abortion, for example, because I don't believe that any woman or girl should be forced to carry another person against their will. The vibes I'm ACTUALLY giving off are 'cares about the welfare of women and children and puts that above the selfish desires of rich people to become parents'. Perhaps you should re-read my original post and this time actually take in what I said. There's nothing religious about it - I made no reference to 'sins' or 'God'. My concerns about surrogacy are not religious, they're ETHICAL - learn the difference. Just because we CAN do things scientifically doesn't mean we SHOULD. We could probably clone humans, for example, but so far, no country that we know of has permitted this, because it's deemed UNETHICAL. There are ethical questions about surrogacy that I've noticed a lot of people who use it don't seem to consider. Their approach to it is pretty selfish (and that's no surprise - the drive to have children can make people terribly selfish - it causes some women to steal other people's babies, for goodness sake!). Thus, their judgment about it can be way off. They ask themselves whether they feel comfortable with a stranger carrying their child, but I've never heard them discuss the ethics of further commodifying women's bodies, as they're doing. In that sense, surrogacy is not that different from prostitution, and it's a lot more invasive. And once again, it's mostly the bodies of poorer women being used, especially outside the US. Just ask the foreign couples who used Ukrainian women to carry their babies and then couldn't get to them after Russia invaded. Check your own ethics if you see no problem with this. 'I'm always right' is an ironic choice of username, because this time you're patently WRONG.

Very valid points. I especially appreciate your comment on the ‘parent-centric’ attitude towards having children. As a kinship guardian to a family member, my or their parents desires should never ever come above the needs of the child. And when parenthood is rooted simply in the desire to have a baby we end up with children who are abused, neglected or disowned because they couldn’t fit into the mold their parents dreamt up before they existed.

She’s still hilarious, just being a normal person on the show

She’s married I think and has a child

She’s married to a woman so it’s more than a “phase”

She’s engaged

Lessbe honest - Rebel Wilson

@@imalwaysright google says she’s not married and does not have children

The economy he ruined and now everyone has to fix

You're one of only a few who actually liked the twice impeached disgraced FORMER president's reign of racism and bigotry. 81 million felt differently.

John is hot

Trump economy? You mean all the terrible shit he caused with his broken response to the pandemic and tax cuts for the rich?

how embarrassing

Run not ran

No.

Imagine still cheerleading for Trump and thinking it’s convincing lmao, especially after he led a terrorist attack on the nation and continues to lie

Our country is undergoing an economic boom. Lowest unemployment, and lowest black unemployment in history and we don’t have an obese orange moron saying racist sh*t every two seconds in the White House. The midterms said it all! Get ready for a second Biden term MAGAt!

Projecting how you see yourself in the mirror onto other people. Pathetic
